The water is softened with salt (regeneration salt) in the water softening system of the dishwasher.4The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see table).4Setting4The amount of salt dispensed can be set from •:‹‹ to •:‹ˆ.4Salt is not required at the set value •:‹‹.4Water hardness table4Special salt $5Using special salt5Always refill with special salt immediately before switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun special salt solution is immediately washed out and does not corrode the rinsing tank.5As soon as the salt refill indicator h on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.5* depending on model5Detergents with salt componentUsing detergents with salt component5If combined detergents with a salt component are used, salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). If the water hardness is over 21° dH, special salt must be used.5Switching off water softening systemSwitching off salt refill indicator/ water softening system5If the salt refill indicator h is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing salt component), it can be switched off.5m Warning5Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. You will destroy the water softening system.5Rinse aid %6As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator ` is lit on the fascia, there is still a rinse-aid reserve of 1 – 2 rinsing processes. Refill with rinse aid.6The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers.6Combined detergents with rinse-aid component may be used up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness is over 21° dH, rinse aid must be used.6Setting amount of rinse aid6The amount of rinse aid can be set from §:‹‹ to §:‹‡. Please set rinse aid on §:‹† to obtain very good drying results (§:‹† is already set in factory).6Change this setting, only if streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) are left on the utensils.6Switching off rinse aid refill indicator6If the rinse-aid refill indicator ` is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing rinse aid component), it can be switched off.6The rinse aid refill indicator ` is now switched off.6Utensils7Not suitable7Aluminium 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.7Glass and utensil damage7Causes:7Recommendation:7Loading the dishwasher7Very small utensils should not be washed in the machine, as they may fall out of the baskets.7Unloading the dishwasher7To prevent water from dripping off the upper basket onto the utensils in the lower basket, it is recommended to empty the appliance from the bottom up.7Hot utensils are sensitive to shock! Therefore, when the programme ends, leave the utensils to cool down in the dishwasher until they can be handled.7Cups and glasses7Top basket 1"7Pans8Bottom basket 1b8Tip8Heavily soiled utensils (pans) should be placed in the bottom basket. The more powerful spray jet provides a better dishwashing result.8Tip8Other examples, such as the best way of loading your dishwasher, can be found on our homepage as a free download. The corresponding Internet address can be found on the back page of these instructions for use.8Cutlery basket8You should always place cutlery unsorted with the points downwards.8To prevent injuries, place long, pointed implements and knives on the knife shelf.8EtagereEtagere *8The etagere and the space underneath can be used for small cups and glasses or for larger items of cutlery, such as wooden spoons or serving cutlery. The etagere can be folded up if not required.8* Depending on the model, a 3-fold height adjustment is possible. To do this, first place the etagere vertically and pull up, then place at a slight angle, push down to the required height (1, 2, or 3) and snap into place.8Folding spikesFolding spikes *8* depending on model8The spikes can be folded down to improve arrangement of pans, bowls and glasses.8Small accessories holder *Small accessories holder9* depending on model9Light-weight plastic accessories, e.g. cups, lids, etc. can be held securely in the small accessories holder.9Knife shelf *Knife shelf9* depending on model9Long knives and other utensils can be arranged horizontally.9Adjusting the height of the basketAdjusting the height of the basket *9* depending on model9If required, the height of the upper utensils basket 1" can be adjusted to provide more space for tall utensils either in the upper or lower basket.9Appliance height 81.5 cm9Top basket9Bottom basket9Setting 1 max. ø922 cm930 cm9Setting 2 max. ø924.5 cm927.5 cm9Setting 3 max. ø927 cm925 cm9Appliance height 86.5 cm9Top basket9Bottom basket9Setting 1 max. ø924 cm933 cm9Setting 2 max. ø926.5 cm930.5 cm9Setting 3 max. ø929 cm928 cm9Select one of the two following procedures according to the design of the top basket for your appliance model:9Top basket with side levers10Top basket with upper and lower roller pairs10Detergent10You can use tablets as well as powder or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing up liquid.

This will save water, energy and time. It is recommended to put a little less detergent in the detergent dispenser than for a full load.14· Hygiene *Hygiene14The temperature is increased during the cleaning process. This increases the hygiene status. This additional option is ideal for cleaning e.g. chopping boards and baby bottles.14Ï Intensive zone *Intensive zone14Perfect for a mixed load. You can wash very soiled pots and pans in the lower basket together with normally soiled utensils in the upper basket. The spray pressure in the lower basket is intensified, the rinsing temperature is increased slightly.14¿ Extra drying *Extra drying14An increased temperature during the final rinse and an extended drying phase ensure that even plastic parts dry better.

The running time may increase slightly. (Caution if utensils are delicate!)16Change the setting as follows:16Maintenance and care16A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents problems.16Overall condition of the machine16If you find such deposits:16Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.16Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage.16Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and fascia with a damp cloth; water and a little washing up liquid are adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces.16Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths or wash them out thoroughly several times before using for the first time.16m Warning16Never use other chlorinated household detergents! Health hazard!16Special salt and rinse aid16Filters17The filters 1R keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. These foreign objects may occasionally block the filters.17The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine filter and a microfilter.17Spray arms17Limescale and contaminants in the rinsing water may block nozzles and bearings on the spray arms 1: and 1B.17Troubleshooting18The majority of faults which could occur in daily operation can be rectified by the user.
