Safety
General
Packaging materials
• Read and keep the directions for use!
• Installation of water, drainage and electricity
must be carried out by a qualified professional.
• Do not use the dishwasher for any pur-
poses other than those stated in these
directions for use.
• Do not load the dishwasher door or the
dishwasher baskets with anything other
than dishes.
• Only use dishwasher detergent!
• Place knives and other sharp objects so
that they cannot cause injury to people or
damage the dishwasher.
Sort at source in accordance with the re-
commendations of your local authority.
Scrapping
When the time comes for the machine to be
scrapped, it should immediately be ren-
dered unusable. Remove the plug and cut
off the lead as short as possible.
Contact the refuse collection department or
your local authority for information on the
correct way to dispose of the dishwasher!
The dishwasher is manufactured and la-
belled for recycling.
Never put dishes containing solvent residue
in the machine due to risk of explosion.
Neither may dishes containing ashes, wax
or lubricating grease be washed in the
dishwasher.
Winter storage/Transport
Store the machine away from frost.
Avoid long journeys in extreme cold. Trans-
port the machine in an upright position or
lying on its back.
Overfill protection
The overfill protector starts pumping out
water and closes off the water intake if the
machine’s water level exceeds the normal
level. If the overfill protector starts up, shut
off the water supply and phone for service.
See also ‘Troubleshooting’ on pages 23-25.
Cleaning
Only use a slightly damp cloth for cleaning
around the edge of the door. Do not use a
spray bottle! Water can penetrate into the
lock and come into contact with the elec-
trical components.

Fragile dishes
A number of household goods are not suit-
able for machine washing. There can be
many reasons for this. Certain materials
cannot withstand intense heat, others can
be damaged by the dishwasher detergent.
Cutlery with glued handles
Certain types of adhesive cannot withstand
machine washing. In such cases the handles
can come loose.
Wood
Fragile decoration
Wooden articles should only be machine
washed if they are labelled as dishwasher
proof.
China with decoration on top of the glaze
(the article has a rough feel) should not be
machine washed.
Aluminium
Crystal/ glass
Aluminium can be dulled by machine wash-
ing. However, good quality aluminium
saucepans can be machine washed, al-
though a reduction in lustre should be ex-
pected.
Place the articles so that they do not knock
together during the wash. Antique and very
fragile items should not be machine
washed.
Silver
Plastic
Silver and stainless steel items should not
come into contact with each other as the
silver can discolour.
Certain types of plastic cannot withstand
the high temperature generated in machine
dishwashing.
To protect plastic articles
Select a program with Economy
temperature and Economy drying.

Cleaning
Cleaning
The dishwasher’s inner container is made of
stainless steel and is kept clean through
normal use. However, if you have calciferous
(hard) water, lime deposits can form in the
dishwasher. In this case, run a normal wash

use only a slightly damp cloth, possibly with
a little detergent. Do not use a spray bottle
or similar around the door catch.This is to
ensure that water does not penetrate into
the door catch and come into contact with
the electrical components.
CAUTION!
Do not use a spray bottle or similar around
the door catch.
Tip!
In order to prevent bad odours in the
dishwasher, clean the strips and corners
with a dish brush and low-lather detergent.

washer has a water softening filter, dis-
pense as for soft water.
2. Carefully pour in rinse aid up to the knob
for dosage setting.
Alter dosage if required. Do not forget to
close the cover.
Too much rinse aid can lead to the build-up
of foam. If your water is particularly soft, you
can dilute the rinse aid (1 part rinse aid, 1
part water).
*NB!
After filling there may be a short delay
before the signal light goes out.
Too much rinse aid can cause streaks on
the dishes, while too little can result in water
stains.
Machines with refill indicator
There is a refill indicator in the middle of the
dispenser (see picture). If the refill indicator
is totally black, there is sufficient rinse aid.
However, if the indicator has a more
transparent appearance, you need to top up
with rinse aid (see above).

Salt
Pour in salt
Before using a dishwasher with a water
softening filter, you must fill the salt com-
partment with salt. Use coarse salt or spe-
cial salt for dishwashers.
Cover for the salt compartment
It is best to fill with salt when you are about
to do a wash, as the dishwasher needs to
be rinsed out immediately after filling.
Proceed as follows the first time:
1. First unscrew the cover as illustrated.
2. Place the funnel, which is supplied with
the dishwasher, into the compartment’s filler
hole. First pour in approximately 1 litre of
water.
3.Then fill the compartment with max 1.5 kg
salt.
4. Wipe away excess salt so that the cover
can be properly screwed into place.
5. Run a Normal wash program so that any
salt in the machine is rinsed away.
CAUTION!
Never pour dishwasher detergent into the
salt compartment.The water softener will be
ruined!
When the salt runs out, unscrew the cover
and fill the compartment with salt.Water is
only needed on the first occasion! Wipe
clean and screw back in place. Run a Nor-
mal wash program so that any salt is rinsed
away.
Occasionally check to see if more salt is
needed. A green indicator can be seen in
the cover of the salt compartment.

The dishwasher is then pushed in so that
the fastening irons grip onto the rear feet.
The dishwasher cannot now tilt in the event
a load is placed on the open door. If the
dishwasher is to be fully freestanding, both
side panels and the work top should be
fitted.These accessories can be purchased

Connection to water supply
There must be a shut-off tap on the water
supply pipe. The shut-off tap should be
positioned above the work surface or at the
front of the sink unit.
Connection to drainage
When the drain hose is routed to a
connection nipple at the sink’s water trap
(see illustration 1), note that the hose must
be fastened level with the underside of the
sink unit – otherwise the dishwater from the
sink can run down into the dishwasher. The
drain hose is threaded onto a cone-shaped
connecting pipe at the sink unit’s water trap.
The cone-shaped pipe must be cut to an
internal diameter of at least 16 mm. For
other alternative connections, see
The water supply pipe has a connection
with a 1/2” or 3/4” internal thread depending
on country.
When the installation is complete, the shut-
off tap should be opened to allow the pres-
sure to settle for a while and to check that
all connections are tight.
illustrations 2 and 3.
The drain hose may be lengthened by a
maximum of 3 m (the total length of the
drain hose may not exceed 4.5 m). Any
connections and connecting pipes must
have an internal diameter of at least 16 mm.
However, the drain hose should ideally be
replaced with a new hose without joins.
Connection to electricity
A dishwasher fitted with a lead and plug
must be connected to an earthed socket.
Repairs and maintenance affecting safety or
performance must be carried out by a quali-
fied professional.
No part of the drain hose may be more than
950 mm above the bottom of the machine.
The hose must not be routed directly to the
floor drain or similar. In such cases, the
hose can act as a siphon and empty the
dishwasher.
Technical data
See the type plate on the right hand side of
the door.
CAUTION!
The lead must be disconnected or the socket
voltage-free while the work is carried out!
The hose must always discharge at least
350 mm above the bottom of the machine.
Connection to drainage
NB!
The hose must be fastened level with the
underside of the work surface.
