Safety instructions

Delivery

Immediately check the packaging and

dishwasher for any damage which may

have been caused in transit. Do not use

a damaged appliance, but consult your

supplier.

Please dispose of packaging material

properly.

Installation

Install and connect the appliance

according to the installation and

assembly instructions.

The dishwasher must NOT be

connected to the power supply during

installation.

Ensure that the protective conductor

system of the domestic electricity

supply has been installed correctly.

Electrical connection conditions must

correspond with the specifications on

the rating plate of the dishwasher.

If the dishwasher is to be installed

in a high-sided unit, ensure that the unit

is attached properly and also at the

rear.

Built-under and built-in appliances

should always be installed under a

continuous work surface which is

attached to the adjacent cupboards, in

order to ensure that the appliance is

entirely stable.

After the appliance has been installed,

the mains plug should still be easily

accessible.

Not on all models:

The plastic housing on the water input

contains an electrically operated valve.

The connecting wires are inside the

inlet hose. Do not cut through this hose

and do not immerse the plastic housing

in water.

Warning

For safety reasons, if the appliance is not

fitted in a recess, thereby making a side

wall accessible, the door hinge area

should be covered at the side.

(Risk of injury)

Covers are available as optional

accessories from customer services or

specialist stores.

In daily use

Warning

Knives and other sharp-pointed utensils

must be placed with the points down

in the cutlery basket or horizontally in

the utensils basket.

Use the dishwasher only in the

household and only for its designed

purpose, i.e. for washing domestic

dishes.

Do not lean or sit on the open door.

The appliance could tip.

Please note that free-standing

appliances may tip over if the baskets

are overloaded.

The water in the appliance is not

drinking water.

Do not add any solvents to the washing

chamber. Danger of explosion!

Open the door carefully when

the programme is still running. There

is a risk of hot water spraying out of

the appliance.

To prevent injuries, e.g. caused

by stumbling, open the dishwasher

only briefly in order to load and unload

the dishwasher.

Read and observe the safety

nformation and instructions for use on

the packaging for cleaning and rinsing

agents.

Children in the household

If fitted, use the childproof lock. An

exact description can be found in the

back of the envelope.

Do not allow children to play with

or operate the appliance.

Keep children away from detergents

and rinse aid. These may cause

chemical burns in the mouth, throat and

eyes or asphyxiation.

Keep children away from an open

dishwasher. There could still be

detergent residue inside.

If the appliance is installed at eye-level,

ensure when opening and closing the

door that children are not caught

or crushed between the appliance door

and the cupboard door situated below.

Damage

The appliance may be repaired and

opened up by a technician only. First

disconnect the appliance from the

power supply. Pull out the mains plug

(do not tug the power cord!) or switch

off the fuse. Turn off the tap.

Disposal

Make redundant appliances unusable

to prevent subsequent accidents.

Dispose of the appliance in an

environmentally friendly manner.

Warning

Children could get locked in the appliance

(risk of suffocation) or get stuck in other

positions.

Therefore: Remove the mains plug, cut the

mains wire and set aside. Damage the

door lock so that the door can no longer

be closed.

Before using for the first time

The appliance was checked before it left

the works. In order to remove possible

water test remains, use the appliance for

the first time without any dishes, using

the highest temperature. Also fill salt, rinse

aid and detergent in the filling

compartments.

Getting to know your

appliance

Diagrams of the control panel and the

interior of the appliance can be found

in the envelope at the front.

You will need to purchase the

following before using the

dishwasher for the first time:

–special salt for use in dishwashers

– detergent

– rinse-aid

Only use products, which are suitable for

dishwashers.

Water softener

In order to rinse dishes and glasses

satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft

water, i.e. containing little or no lime,

otherwise water stains will be left behind

on crockery and glasses, etc.

If the tap water exceeds a certain level of

hardness, it must be softened, i.e.

decalcified, so that it can be used in the

dishwasher.

This is achieved by adding a special salt

to the water softener inside the

dishwasher.

The water softener, that is the required

amount of salt, is set up according to how

hard the tap water is.

Setting up the water softener

Determine the level of hardness of your

tap water. Your local water company or

service agent can help you with this.

Identify setting from the following water

hardness table.

Close the door

Rotate the programme selector

from the 12 o’clock position by one

notch to the left.

Switch on main switch

and hold

down for at least 3 sec.

The display

flashes and the lamps

above the symbols and light up.

(hardness value has been set to 2

at the factory).

To change the setting: Rotate the

programme selector

You can select a set value between

0 and 3 according to the hardness

of your water.

If the lamps , and light up,

the maximum set hardness value

has been reached. If the set hardness

value is now increased again, the

lamps go out and the set hardness

value is set to 0 (no lamp lights up).

Switch off the main switch

The chosen setting has now been

stored.

Filling the salt dispenser

Salt must always be filled before the

appliance is switched on, so that excess

salt solution is immediately flushed away

to prevent corrosion.

Open the screw-type cap of the

compartment 27 .

Before using the appliance for the first

time, pour about 1 litre of water in the

salt container.

Then refill with salt (not cooking salt)

until the salt container is full

(max. 1.5 kg). When you refill the salt,

water is being displaced and drains off.

The LOW SALT indicator

on the front

panel will light up initially but will extinguish

again after a short period when the salt

solution has become sufficiently

concentrated.

If the set hardness value is ”0”, do not

add salt because no salt is used during

operation; the salt refill indicator

is switched off.

Warning

Do not pour detergent into the container

for special salt. This would destroy the

water softener.

Salt refill indicator

As soon as the salt refill indicator

is lit

on the control panel, refill with salt

immediately before the next rinse cycle.

Depending on the washing frequency and

the hardness setting, the regeneration salt

may not have to be topped up for several

months.

Adding rinse aid

The rinse aid is required for stain-free

utensils and clear glasses.

Use only rinse aid for domestic

dishwashers.

Open the cover on the rinse-aid

dispenser 30 . To do this, press the

mark (1 ) on the cover and

simultaneously lift the cover on the

control plate (2 ).

Carefully pour in the rinse aid to just

below the edge of the filler opening.

Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it

snap closed.

To prevent excessive foam formation

during the next rinse cycle, remove any

rinse aid which has run over with a cloth.

Adjusting the amount of

rinse-aid

The amount of rinse-aid added to the

water can be varied by adjusting the

stepless control. The rinse-aid control has

been set to ”4” in the factory.

Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aid

control unless streaks (turn knob towards

”–”) or water marks (turn knob towards ”+”)

are left on the dishes.

Rinse aid controller

Rinse-aid refill indicator

As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator

lights up on the control panel

refill with rinse aid.

Utensils

Not suitable

Cutlery and utensils made of wood.

Fragile decorative glasses,

hand-crafted and antique utensils.

These decorative items are not

dishwasher-proof.

Plastic parts sensitive to hot water.

Copper and tin utensils.

Utensils which are soiled with ash,

wax, lubricating grease or ink.

Absorbent materials such as sponges

and cloths.

Aluminium and silver parts have a

tendency to discolour and fade during the

wash cycle. Even some types of glass

(e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy

after many wash cycles.

Recommendation:

In future buy utensils which are identified

as dishwasher-proof.

Damage to glassware and other

dishes

Possible causes:

type of glass or manufacturing process

chemical composition of detergent

water temperature and duration of

dishwasher programme.

Suggested remedy:

Use glassware or porcelain dishes that

have been marked ’dishwasher–proof’

by the manufacturer.

Use a mild detergent that is described

as ’kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek

further information from detergent

manufacturers.

Select a programme with as low a

temperature and as short a duration as

possible.

To prevent damage, take glass and

cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon

as possible after the programme has

ended.

Loading the dishwasher

It is not necessary to rinse them off

under running water.

When loading the dishwasher, ensure

that

Dall utensils are secure and cannot

fall over.

Dthe openings of all receptacles are

face down.

Dcurved or indented utensils are at

an incline, allowing water to drain.

Dthe two spray arms can rotate freely.

Very small items should not be washed in

the dishwasher as they could easily fall out

of the baskets.

Removing the dishes

To prevent water dripping from the top

basket onto the dishes in the lower basket,

we recommend that you empty the lower

basket first and then the top basket.
