10

Only use the water hoses supplied with the appliance or genuine spare hoses.
Never re-use water hoses that have been used before.
¡ If the water pressure is too high or too low, the appliance may not be able to operate properly. Make sure that the water pressure in the water supply system is min. 50 kPa (0.5 bar) and max. 1000 kPa (10 bar). If the water pressure exceeds the maximum value specified, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed between the drinking water connection and the hose set of the appliance.
Safe use
ATTENTION! ¡ Escaping water vapour can dam-
age fitted units. When the programme ends,
leave the appliance to cool down for a while before opening the door. ¡ Special salt for dishwashers can damage the tub due to corrosion. To make sure that any special salt that escapes is washed out of the tub, add the special salt to the dispenser for special salt immediately before the programme starts. ¡ Detergent may damage the water softening system. Only fill the dispenser of the water softening system with special dishwasher salt. ¡ Unsuitable cleaning agents may damage the appliance. Do not use a steam cleaner. So as not to scratch the finish on the appliance, do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive cleaning agents.

To prevent corrosion, do not use sponge cloths on dishwashers with a stainless steel front or rinse such cloths thoroughly several times before using them for the first time.

Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled. Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separately.
Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water.
Use the Eco 50 ° programme. The Eco 50 ° programme is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. “Programmes”, Page 19
Change the sensor setting to the default.
Consumption is reduced. “Sensors”, Page 12 Zeolith drying automatically helps to save energy. “Zeolith drying “, Page 11
Zeolith drying
The appliance features a Zeolith container. Zeolith drying lets you save energy. Zeolite is a mineral that can store moisture and heat energy and then release them again. During dishwashing heat energy is used to heat up the washing water and dry the mineral.

enEnvironmental protection and saving energy

During the drying phase moisture from the interior of the dishwasher is stored in the mineral and heat energy is released. The heat energy is blown out into the interior of the dishwasher with dry air. This speeds up and improves drying. Zeolith drying therefore saves a great deal of energy. Tip: To avoid impairing Zeolith drying performance, do not position tableware parts directly in front of the intake opening or the blow opening of the Zeolith container. Do not position heat-sensitive tableware parts directly in front of the blow opening of the Zeolith container. “Appliance”, Page 15
AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water. You can save water with the AquaSensor. Use of the AquaSensor depends on the programme. If the soiling level is high, the rinsing water is drained off and replaced with fresh water. If the soiling level is lower, the rinsing water is used in the next wash cycle, so reducing water consumption by 3-6 litres. In the automatic programmes the temperature and run time are additionally adjusted to the level of soiling.
Sensors
The sensors adjust the programme sequence and strength in the automatic programmes depending on the level and type of soiling. The sensor has different sensitivity settings that can be changed in the basic settings. “Changing basic settings”, Page 40

Sensor setting Standard Sensitive
Very sensitive

Description Optimum setting for a mixed load and heavily soiled tableware. Saves both energy and water. Adjusts the programme strength for effective removal of food remnants even with low soiling levels. Energy and water consumption are adjusted accordingly. Adjusts the programme strength for difficult conditions of use, e.g. stubborn dried-on food remnants. Recommended setting when using organic or ecological detergents containing low levels of active agents. Energy and water consumption are adjusted accordingly.

autoOpen Dry
The appliance door opens automatically during the drying phase. This ensures a particularly economical drying result. For best drying results wait until the end of programme before unloading the tableware. The programme has ended when the display shows “Finished”. If automatic door opening is deactivated, energy consumption increases and the drying phase is usually shortened. “Overview of basic settings”, Page 38

Installation and connec- Installationandconnection tion

Regeneration of the water softening system

In order to obtain fault-free function of the water softening system, the appliance performs regeneration of the water softening system at regular intervals. Regeneration of the water softening system takes place before the end of the main rinse cycle in all programmes. It will increase the run time and consumption values, e.g. water and electricity.

Overview of consumption values with regeneration the water softening system Here you can find an overview of the maximum additional run time and consumption values during regeneration of the water softening system.

Detergent Detergent

Detergent
Suitable detergents

Only use detergents that are suitable for dishwashers. Both separate and combined detergents are suitable. For optimum washing and drying results, use separate detergent, adding “Special salt” Page 28 and “Rinse aid” Page 30 separately. Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline formulation with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein. Oxygenbased bleaching agents are generally used to remove coloured marks, e.g. tea or ketchup. Note: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each detergent.

Detergent Tabs
Powder detergent

Description Tabs are suitable for all cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out. With shorter “Programmes” Page 19 tabs sometimes do not dissolve entirely and leave residues of detergent. This may impair the cleaning effect. Powder detergent is recommended for shorter “Programmes” Page 19. The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.

Detergenten

Detergent Liquid detergent

Description Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for shorter “Programmes” Page 19 without PreRinse. Sometimes liquid detergent may leak out despite the detergent dispenser being closed. This is not a fault and is non-critical if you remember the following: ¡ Only choose a pro-
gramme without PreRinse. ¡ Do not select timer programming for starting the programme.
The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.

Tip: Suitable detergents are available online via our website or from “Customer Service” Page 62.

Separate detergents Separate detergents are products that do not contain components other than detergent, e.g. powder detergent or liquid detergent. With powder and liquid detergent the dosage can be individually adjusted to the level of soiling of the tableware. For better washing and drying results and to avoid damage to the appliance, please additionally use “Special salt” Page 28 and “Rinse aid” Page 30.

Combined detergent Besides conventional separate detergents, a number of products are available with additional functions. These products contain not only detergent but also rinse aid and salt replacement substances (3in1) and,

enDetergent

depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, …), additional components such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner. According to manufacturers, combined detergents generally only function up to a water hardness of 26 °E. With a water hardness above 26 °E you will need to add special salt and rinse aid. For the best washing and drying results we recommend using special salt and rinse aid from a water hardness of 17 °E. If you are using combined detergent, the washing programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible washing and drying result.

Unsuitable detergents

Do not use detergent which could cause damage to the appliance or present a risk to health.

Information on detergents
Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use. ¡ Detergents marked as “organic” or
“ecological” (environmentally friendly) generally contain lower levels of active agents or completely dispense with certain substances. The cleaning effect may be restricted here. ¡ Set the rinse aid and the water softening system to the separate detergent or combined detergent in use.

¡ According to manufacturers, combined detergents with salt replacement substances can only be used up to a certain water hardness, usually 26 °E, without adding special salt. For the best washing and drying results we recommend using special salt from a water hardness of 17 °E.
¡ To prevent sticking, only touch detergents in a water-soluble pouch with dry hands and only ever place them in a dry detergent dispenser.
¡ Even if the rinse aid and special salt refill indicators light up, washing programmes will run properly with combined detergents.
¡ The function of rinse aid is limited with combined detergents. You will generally get better results using rinse aid.
¡ Use tablets with a special drying performance.
Adding detergent

Tablewareen 3. Close the lid of the detergent dis-
penser.

If you are using tablets, one is enough. Insert the tablets in a horizontal position. If you are using powder or liquid detergent, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and quantities for dosage in the detergent dispenser. 20 ml 25 ml detergent is sufficient for normal soiling. If tableware is only lightly soiled, slightly less than the amount of detergent specified is usually sufficient.

a The lid clicks into position. a The detergent dispenser will open
automatically at the optimum time during the programme. Powder or liquid detergent will spread around the washing tank and dissolve there. Tablets will fall into the tablet collecting tray and dissolve in the right dosage. In order to ensure that tablets can dissolve evenly, do not place any other objects in the tablet collecting tray. Tip: If you use powder detergent and select a program with pre-rinse, you can also add a little detergent to the interior door of the appliance.

Tableware Tableware
Only Tableware clean tableware that is suitable for dishwashers. Note: Decorated glassware and parts made of aluminium or silver may fade or discolour with dishwashing. Delicate types of glass may turn cloudy after a few washing cycles.

Arrange tableware
Arrange tableware correctly to optimise the dishwashing result and prevent damage to both the appliance and tableware. Tips ¡ Using the appliance allows you to
save energy and water compared to washing-up by hand. ¡ See our website for examples of how to load your appliance efficiently, free of charge. ¡ To save energy and water, load the machine with the number of place settings specified (standard load with tableware and cutlery). “Technical specifications”, Page 63 ¡ For better washing and drying results, position items with curves or recesses at an angle so water can run off.

1. Remove large remnants of food from tableware.

To save resources, do not prerinse tableware under running water. 2. Observe the following when arranging tableware: Put heavily soiled tableware in
the bottom basket, e.g. pans. The more powerful the spray jet, the better the dishwashing result will be. To prevent damage to tableware, arrange it so it is stable and cannot tip over. To prevent injury, arrange cutlery with the points and sharp edges facing down. Position containers with the openings facing down so no water can collect in them. Do not block the spray arms make sure that they can turn freely. Do not place small parts in the tablet collecting tray and do not block it with tableware so as not to obstruct the lid of the detergent dispenser.
