Not suitable for thedishwasher

What you should not put intothe dishwasher:Cutlery and tableware manufactured inwhole or part from wood. They becomefaded and unsightly in appearance.Furthermore, the adhesives that are usedare not suitable for the temperatures thatoccur inside the dishwasher. Delicatedecorative glassware and vases, specialantique or irreplaceable china. Thedecorative patterns on such items will notbe dishwasher-proof.

Plastic objects that are not resistant to hotwater, copper and pewter utensils are alsonot suitable. Decorative patterns printed orpainted onto the surface of crockery,glasses, etc., aluminium and silver itemstend to become discoloured or faded ifwashed in the dishwasher. Some types ofglass can become opaque in appearanceafter they have been washed many timesin a dishwasher. Highly absorbentmaterials, such as sponges and towels,should never be placed in the dishwater.

Our recommendation:In future, only purchase table orkitchenware that has been confirmed asbeing dishwasher-proof.

Important

Dishes or cutlery that havebeen soiled by tobacco ash,wax, lubricating grease orpaint, should not be put in thedishwasher.

Damage to glassware and otherdishesPossible causes:

type of glass or manufacturing processchemical composition of detergentwater temperature and duration ofdishwasher programme.

Suggested remedy:

Use glassware or porcelain dishes thathave been marked ’dishwasher–proof’by the manufacturer.Use a mild detergent that is describedas ’kind to dishes’. If necessary, seekfurther information from detergentmanufacturers.Select a programme with as low atemperature and as short a duration aspossible.To prevent damage, take glass andcutlery out of the dishwasher as soonas possible after the programme hasended.

Washing contents of UPPERRACK onlyIf you only have a small number of dishesto wash, put them all into the upper rackand press the UPPER RACK button. Thissaves energy and water. If you select theUPPER RACK function, the lower rackmust be empty. Add a reduced amount ofdetergent compared to that which isrecommended for a full load.

UPPER + LOWER RACKIn principle you can stack all dishes andother utensils anywhere you like inside thedishwasher so that the available space isalways used to maximum benefit.The upper and lower racks have beendesigned so that all types of table andkitchenware (plates, pans, bowls, cups,glasses and cutlery) can be stacked inboth the upper and the lower racks.

This makes the dishwasher easier to load,as you can fully load the upper rack first ofall before you pull out the lower basket.

Arranging crockery, glasses,etc. in the dishwasher

Loading the dishwasherScrape off any large amounts of left-overfood. It is not necessary to rinse the dishesunder running water.Place objects in the dishwasher in such away that

items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans,etc. are stood upside down,curved items, or those with recesses,should be at a slant so that water canrun off,they are stacked securely and cannottip over,they do not prevent the spray arms fromrotating while washing takes place.

Cups and glassesUpper basket 20

* on applicable models

Pots and pansLower basket 26

CutleryCutlery should always be inserted inrandom order with the handles pointingdownwards (take care with knife blades!).This enables the jet of water to reach theindividual items more easily.To prevent the risk of injury, place long andpointed implements and knives on theshelf (some models) or knife shelf(available as an accessory).

Folding spikes ** on applicable modelsTo improve stacking of pots and pans, thespikes can be folded down.

Detergents

Information about detergentsYou can use any brand of liquid or powderdetergent, as well as tablets, that havebeen specifically designed for use indomestic dishwashers. (Do not use normalwashing-up liquid!)

Nowadays there are three types ofdishwasher detergent available:1. those containing phosphates and chlorine,2. those containing phosphates but no chlorine,3. those containing neither phosphates nor chlorine.

When a phosphate-free detergent is usedin conjunction with hard water, there is agreater possibility that white marks will beleft behind on crockery and glasses, etc.These can be avoided by pouring anincreased amount of detergent into thedispenser.

Chlorine-free detergents have a reducedbleaching effect. This can mean that teastains are not completely removed orplastic items become discoloured.

This can be resolved by:– selecting a higher temperature programme, or– increasing the amount of detergent, or– using a detergent that contains chlorine.

Check the label on the detergentpackaging to determine whether aparticular product is suitable for use withsilverware.

If you have any further questions, werecommend that you contact the customeradvice departments of the variousdetergent manufacturers.

Detergent compartment withmeasuring marksThe side of the detergent compartment ismarked with lines to help you determinehow much powder to add.The capacity of the detergent container is15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up tothe middle line. When the compartment isfull it contains 40 ml.

40 ml25 ml15 ml

Important

If the lid on the detergent com-partment is closed, press therelease lever to open the flap.

Adding detergentTip detergent powder into thecorresponding compartment 29 .Please observe the manufacturer’sinstructions printed on the detergentpackaging when determining thecorrect dosage.When you select the INTENSIVEprogramme, tip an extra 10–15 ml ofdetergent onto the inside surface of thedoor.

Reduce costs!

If you are using the upper rackonly, or if your dishes are onlymoderately dirty, it will normallysuffice to employ a reducedamount of detergent thanotherwise recommended.

Close the lid on the detergentcompartment.Press down the lid (1) until it clicksshut (2).

If you are using detergent in tablet form,read the manufacturer’srecommendations on the packaging inorder to determine where the tablets should beplaced inside the dishwasher (e.g. incutlery basket, detergent compartment,etc.).Make sure that the lid on the detergentcompartment is closed, even if you areusing tablets.

CAUTIONIMPORTANT NOTE ON THE USE OF COMBINED CLEANINGPRODUCTSPlease note the following when using”combined cleaning products” whicheliminate the need for a rinsing agent orsalt, for example:

Some products with a built-in rinsingagent are only used to their full effect incertain programmes.

This type of product does not generallyproduce the desired effect withautomatic programmes.

Products which eliminate the need forregeneration salt can only be usedwithin a certain water hardness range.

If you wish to use these combinedproducts, please read the instructionscarefully and heed any notes on thepackaging.

Contact the manufacturer of the cleaningagent if you have any questions,particularly if:

the crockery is very wet once theprogramme has finished.limescale deposits are formed.

Any problems which arise as a directresult of the use of these products are notcovered by our warranty.

Washing dishes

Programme selectionThe most appropriate programme can beidentified by comparing the type ofcrockery, cutlery, etc., as well as theamount and condition of food remains,with the details contained in theprogramme overview.

The corresponding programme sequence,duration and consumption details areshown in the bottom half of the overview.For example:Use the “Auto” programme for dishesand utensils which have plenty of foodremains stuck on hard.

Reduce costs!

If only a small number ofdishes have been loaded intothe dishwasher, selecting aprogramme that operates atthe next lowest temperaturewill usually suffice.

Programme dataThe stated programme data are based onstandard operating conditions. The valuescan vary considerably according to:

different amounts of dishestemperature of mains water supplypressure of mains water supplyambient temperaturefluctuations in mains voltagemachine-related factors (e.g.temperature, water volume, ...).

Aquasensor ** on applicable models

The Aquasensor is an optical measuringdevice with which the cloudiness of thewater in the dishwasher is measured. A

photoelectric sensor is used to detect thedegree of soiling in the water, caused bydissolved food particles such as egg, fatand rolled oats, etc.

The Aquasensor functions during allprogrammes that include a pre-rinse cycle.If the water is still “clean” at the end of thepre-rinse cycle, then the same water isused for the following wash cycle. If thewater is dirty, it is pumped out of thedishwasher and replaced by fresh water.The effect is to reduce water consumptionby approx. 5 litres when the dishes areonly “slightly” dirty.

Switching the dishwasher ONTurn on the tap.Set main switch 1 to ON.Indicators light up according to the lastprogramme that was selected.This same programme will run again ifno other programme button 6 ispressed.The numerical display 3 shows theexpected duration of the programme.The programme starts automatically.

You can change your programme selection as often as you like during theintervening period before thedishwasher starts up.

Time-remaining indicatorThe time-remaining indicator isself-learning. When the programmebegins, it displays the estimated durationof that programme. This figure is basedupon the duration of the previousprogramme, or if the dishwasher is beingused for the first time, the duration of theprogramme used for testing the appliancein the factory. While the programme isrunning, the indicator shows the amount oftime before the programme ends. The timeremaining is also adjusted to account forthe temperature of the water supply andthe number of dishes.

Intensive drying functionActivating the intensive drying functionincreases the temperature during therinse-aid stage which gives better dryingresults.

Press and hold the A programmebutton, and set the main switch 1 toON.Release both buttons.Either (ON) or (OFF) flashes inthe numerical display 3 .

Changing the programmeIt is possible to change the programmewithin 2 minutes after you have switchedthe dishwasher on.Should it be necessary to change theprogramme after this period, theprogramme cycle that has already beenbegun (e.g. washing) will be completedfirst of all.The new remaining time displayed is thesum of the remaining time from thepreceding programme cycle and theremaining time attributable to the newprogramme that has been selected.

Care and maintenance

Regular inspection and maintenance ofyour appliance helps to prevent problemsfrom occurring. This saves time andaggravation. You should thereforecarefully inspect the inside of yourdishwasher from time to time.

Overall condition of applianceCheck that no grease or scale hasaccumulated on the inside of thedishwasher.If you discover any deposits:Clean the interior of the dishwasherthoroughly with a detergent solution.

Rinse-aidCheck the LOW RINSE-AID indicator 7

on the front panel or the level indicator onthe rinse-aid container 28 . Top up withrinse-aid, if required.

FiltersThe filters 24 prevent larger remnants offood or other objects from getting insidethe pump. This residue can occasionallyclog up the filters.The filter system consists of a filtercylinder, a flat fine filter and, depending onthe model, a microfilter (*).

Inspect the filters for obstructions everytime the dishwasher has been used.By unscrewing the filter cylinder, youcan remove the filter system. Removeany food remnants and clean the filtersunder running water.

Other information

Notes on waste disposalOld appliances still have some residualvalue. An environment-friendly method ofdisposal will ensure that valuable rawmaterials can be recovered and usedagain.When an appliance has reached the endof its working life, unplug it from the mains.Cut through the mains cable and disposeof it together with the plug.Destroy the door locking mechanism. Thiswill ensure that children at play cannotbecome locked inside and are notexposed to the risk of suffocation.Your new appliance was protected bysuitable packaging while it was on its wayto you. All materials used for this purposeare environment-friendly and can berecycled. Please make a contribution toprotecting the environment by disposing ofthe packaging appropriately.Do not allow children to play with any partsof the packaging. There is a risk ofsuffocation by the cardboard boxes andthe plastic wrapping.Up-to-date information concerning optionsfor disposal can be obtained from yourretailer or local municipal administration.

General informationMeasures must be taken to ensure thatbuilt-under and built-in units that aresubsequently re-sited as free-standingappliances cannot topple over. This canbe achieved by bolting the dishwasherto the wall or fitting it under acontinuous work surface which isscrewed to the adjacent cupboards.

Installation

In order to function correctly thedishwasher must be properly installed.Specifications for the water intake andwaste-water drainage, as well as electricalconnections, must fulfil the criteria that areset out in the following paragraphs and theinstallation instructions.

When installing the dishwasher, carry outtasks in the following order:– check contents of delivery upon receipt,– site dishwasher,– connect drainage hose,– connect inlet hose to water supply,– connect dishwasher to electricity supply.

Checking contents of deliveryAll functions of your dishwasher havebeen thoroughly tested in the factory. Asmall number of water marks have beenleft on the dishwasher as a result. Theydisappear as soon as the appliance isused for the first time.

Siting the dishwasherDimensions associated with siting thedishwasher are contained in theinstallation instructions. Ensure that theappliance is completely level by adjustingthe feet. Make sure that it is standing on afirm surface.

Drainage connectionSee the installation instructions for detailsof procedure to be followed.If necessary, fit a siphon trap (U-bend) witha connecting piece for the drainage hose.Connect the drainage hose to the trapusing the enclosed parts.

aus

21

Fresh-water connectionConnect the inlet hose to a water tap usingthe enclosed parts and in accordance withthe installation instructions.

Water pressure:Minimum 0,5 bar – maximum 10 bar.If the water pressure is higher, install apressure reducing valve.

Flow rate:Minimum of 10 litres per minute.

Water temperature:

We recommend cold water connectiononly.

Electrical connectionThis appliance should only be connectedto a 240 V AC source via a properlyinstalled earthed socket. See nameplatefor size of required fuse.The socket must be installed close to thedishwasher.If you need to extend the mainsconnecting lead, do not cut off the plug.Replace the whole cable, which can bedisconnected at the junction box on therear of the appliance.If the domestic wiring includes a residual-current-operated (FI) circuit-breaker, make

sure that it bears the mark, as onlythis type conforms to the latest regulations

Disconnecting the dishwasherHere too, it is important that tasks arecarried out in the correct sequence:always unplug the appliance from themains electricity first of all.Pull plug out of wall socket.Turn off water supply.Disconnect drain and water input hoses.Remove screws in underside of worksurface. Detach base board, if fitted.Pull out appliance and carefully withdrawhoses at same time.

Transporting the dishwasherDrain water from the dishwasher. Secureall loose parts. The appliance should onlybe transported in an upright position.

If the appliance is not kept uprightduring transport, any water left insidemay seep into the control module andcause subsequent errors withprogramme functions.The appliance must be drained in thefollowing sequence:

Turn on the tap.Set main switch to ON.Select the B programme.Wait for approximately 4 minutes.Terminate the programme bypressing A and Csimultaneously.The numerical display is set to .

Wait a further minute and thenswitch the appliance off.Turn off the tap.

Protection from freezingtemperaturesIf the appliance is installed in a locationwhere there is a risk of freezingtemperatures (e.g. in a holiday home), allwater must be completely drained out ofthe interior (see “Transporting thedishwasher”).Turn OFF the tap, disconnect the supplyhose and allow to drain.
