Safe installation
PAY ATTENTION!
s An improper installation of the device can cause damage.
If the dishwasher is under or above If other household appliances are installed, the information on installation in conjunction with the dishwasher in the installation instructions for the respective household appliance must be observed.
If no information is available or if the installation manual does not contain any instructions on this subject, check with the manufacturer of these household appliances whether the dishwasher can be built-in above or below other household appliances.
If there is no information from the fa-
brine is available, the dishwasher must not be installed above or below these household appliances. To ensure safe operation of all household appliances, you must also follow the installation instructions for the dishwasher.
Do not place the dishwasher under a
install hob. Do not install the dishwasher in
near heat sources such as radiators, water heaters, stoves or other appliances that give off heat.

s Modified or damaged water hoses can lead to material damage and damage to the device.
Never kink water hoses, pinch, modify or cut.
Only supplied water hose or use original spare hoses.
Never used water hoses reuse.
s Too low or too high water pressure may interfere with the device function. Make sure the water pressure at the water supply installation is a minimum of 50 kPa (0.5 bar) and a maximum of 1000 kPa (10 bar). When the water pressure reaches the exceeds the given maximum value, a pressure reducing valve must be installed between the drinking water connection and the hose set of the unit.
Safe use
PAY ATTENTION!
s Emerging water vapor can damage built-in furniture. The device after the end of allow the program to cool down briefly before opening the appliance door.
s The rinse aid container can be corrode softening salt for dishwashers. To ensure that spills out of the softening salt from the rinse aid container, the softening salt must be filled into the water softening salt reservoir immediately before the program starts.

s Dishwasher detergent can damage the water softener. The reservoir of the softener Only fill the water supply with special salt for dishwashers.
s Unsuitable detergents can damage the appliance. Do not use a steam cleaner. To prevent scratches do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive cleaning agents on the surface of the appliance. To prevent corrosion at dishwashers with a stainless steel front do not use sponge cloths or rinse them well several times before using them for the first time.

Save energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and water.
Use the Eco 50° program. The Eco 50° program is energysaving and environmentally friendly. “Programs”, Page 17

Environmental protection and saving NL
If you only need to wash a few dishes, you can use the Half load option. 1
The program is adapted to the lower load and the consumption values are reduced. “Additional Features”, Page 19
Aquasensor
The aquasensor is an optical measuring device (photocell) with which the turbidity of the washing water is measured. Water can be saved with the aqua sensor. The use of the aquasensor depends on the specific program. In case of heavy soiling, the washing-up water is pumped out and replaced with fresh water. In the case of light soiling, the washing water is also used during the next washing phase and the water consumption can be reduced by 3-6 litres. In the automatic programs, the temperature and running time are also adapted to the degree of soiling.

Regenerate the softening system
In order to maintain trouble-free operation of the softening system, the device regularly performs a regeneration of the softening system.

The softening system is regenerated in all programs before the end of the main wash cycle. This increases the running time and the consumption values of, for example, water and electricity.

Suitable dishwasher detergents Only use detergents that are suitable for the dishwasher. Suitable for both non-combined and combined dishwashing detergents.
For optimum washing and drying results, use a non-combined detergent in combination with separate “softening salt” Page 23 and “rinse agent” Page 25. Modern, powerful dishwasher detergents usually have a low alkaline recipe with enzymes. Enzymes

break down starch and dissolve proteins. Oxygen-based bleaching agents are usually used to remove colored stains (eg tea or ketchup).

Tip: Suitable detergents are available online via our website or “service” Page 55.

Non-combined detergent
Non-combined dishwashing detergents are products which contain no further components in addition to the actual dishwashing detergent. Examples of this are dishwashing powder or liquid dishwashing detergent. With powder and liquid detergent, the dosage can be adjusted to the degree of soiling of the dishes.

For better washing and drying results and to prevent damage to the appliance, it is also recommended to use “softening salt” Page 23 and “rinse agent” Page 25 to use.
Combined Dishwasher Detergent In addition to traditional noncombined dishwashing detergents, a number of products with additional functions are offered. In addition to cleaning agents, these products also contain rinse aid and salt substitutes (3in1) and, depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, …) additional components such as glass protection or polish for stainless steel. According to the manufacturer’s specifications, combined dishwasher detergents generally only work at water hardness levels of 21 °dH. With a water hardness of more than 21 °dH, you must add softening salt and rinse aid. For optimum washing and drying results, we recommend that you use softening water with a water hardness of 14 °dH or more.

Notes on detergents

Follow the directions for detergents for daily use. s Detergents with the indication
thing ‘Bio’ or ‘Eco’ usually contain (for environmental reasons) smaller amounts of active substances or certain substances even not at all. This may limit the cleaning effect. s Adjust the rinse system and the water softening on the uncombined or combined dishwasher detergent used. s Combined dishwashing detergents According to the manufacturer’s instructions, salt substitutes can only be used up to a certain degree of hardness, usually 21 °dH, without adding softening salt. For optimum washing and drying

results, we recommend using softening salt from a water hardness of 14 °dH.
s Touch dishwashing detergents with an in
water-soluble protective packaging only with dry hands and only place it in a dry detergent dispenser to prevent the packaging from sticking.
s Even when the glosstop up rinse aid and the top up softener salt indicator lights up, the dishwashing programs are carried out without any problems when combined dishwashing agents are used.
s The function of the rinse aid del is limited in combination detergents. You usually get better results by using rinse aid.
s Use tabs with special drying

The Ministry in essence NL

1. Remove coarse food residues from the dishes. To save natural resources, do not pre-rinse the dishes under running water.
2. Arrange the crockery and observe the following: Place heavily soiled crockery such as pans in the lower basket. The stronger spray jet gives you a better washing result. Place dishes in a safe and stable position in the appliance to prevent damage to the dishes. Arrange cutlery with the pointed and sharp side down to avoid injuries. Place dishes with the opening downwards so that no water remains in them. Do not block the spray arms so that they can rotate. Do not place small objects in the tablet container and do not block this compartment with dishes so as not to block the lid of the detergent dispenser.

Clearing crockery
WARNING Risk of injury! Hot dishes can cause burns. Hot crockery is sensitive to impact and can cause injury if broken. Crockery after the end of the pro-
gramma let it cool down for a while and only then remove it. 1. To avoid water drops falling on the dishes, unload the dishes from bottom to top. 2. Check the rinse aid reservoir and accessories for contamination and clean if necessary. “Cleaning and maintenance”, Page 35
