Before using for the first time
To achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs soft water. Hard
water results in calcium deposits on
dishware and in the dishwasher.
If your tap water hardness is above 4 °d
(4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be
softened.
The water hardness was programmed
at 1 °d (1 gr/gal) by factory default.
^ Select the hardness of your water
supply and confirm with the center
button.
See "Settings - Water hardness" for
more information.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
Two notes appear in the display.
After confirming these notes, : Add
rinse aid and/or : Add salt may
appear in the display.
– The dishwasher must be
programmed to correspond to the
water hardness in your area.
Confirm these notes with OK. The
display changes to the main menu.
– In areas where the water hardness
fluctuates (e. g. 37 - 50 °d [39
-52 gr/gal]) always program the
machine to the higher value (in this
example 50 °d [52 gr/gal]).
These basic settings are saved after
the first full program cycle is
completed.
If there is a fault, it will help the service
technician to know the hardness of your
local water supply.
Please note your water hardness
below:

Before using for the first time
^ Remove the lower basket from the
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt
container lid.
Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water
remaining in the machine is from the
final factory test and does not
indicate that the machine has been
used.
When opening the salt container,
water will run out. Open the
container only to refill salt.
Filling the salt container
Important: The salt container must
be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water
before adding salt for the first time
so the salt can dissolve
properly. Water does not have to be
added with subsequent refills.
To achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs soft water (water that
is low in minerals). Hard water results in
calcium deposits on dishware and in
the dishwasher.
Therefore, if your tap water hardness is
above 4 °d (4 gr/gal) the water should
be softened. The built-in water softener
is designed for this purpose. The water
softener is suitable for a water hardness
up to 70 °d (73 gr/gal).
,Inadvertently filling the salt
container with dishwashing
detergent (including liquid
detergent) will damage the water
softener.
,Only use water softener salt
specially formulated for
dishwashers. Other salts may
contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.
If using "Tab" products which
include salt, still add salt to the
machine to achieve optimal cleaning
results and ensure long-term
functioning of the water softener.

Salt refill message
^ When the display shows Insufficient
salt, refill the salt after the program
has finished.
^ Confirm with OK.
The message will clear from the display.
If a sufficiently high concentration of
salt has not yet formed, the Insufficient
salt message may continue to be
displayed after adding the salt. In this
case, confirm again with the center
button.
^ Place the provided funnel over the
salt container and carefully fill it with
salt. The salt container holds
approx. 4.4 lbs (2 kg) of salt,
depending on the type of salt.
The Insufficient salt message is turned
off if you have programmed the
dishwasher to a water hardness below
4 °d (4 gr/gal).
^ Clean any excess salt from the
threads of the container opening.
Screw the lid on firmly.
,Immediately after each refill, run
the "Rinse & Hold" program (without
the Turbo function) without a load.
This will remove any traces of salt
from inside the wash cabinet.

or champagne glasses, should be
placed in the center of the basket
rather than in the corners.
^ Concave based items such as mugs
or bowls, should be placed at an
angle so that water does not pool.

are dishwasher safe. Only wash
items marked "dishwasher safe" in
the dishwasher.
– Glued items such as old knives with
handles glued together around the
shank of the blade
– Handmade craft items, antique,
metal trimmed or decorative
glassware
– If fine glassware is washed in the
dishwasher select the "China &
Crystal" program*. This will reduce
the risk of clouding.
– Plastic items that are not heat
resistant
– Copper, brass, tin or aluminum
Silver and aluminum:
– Dishes with color painted over the
glaze. These dishes may fade over
time
– Silver or aluminum items may tarnish.
– Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may be damp or spotted
at the end of a program where water
has adhered to the polish. This can
be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth.
Silver that has been cleaned in an
immersion dip is usually dry at the
end of a program, but may tarnish.
– Fine glassware and crystal items
should only be washed using the
"China & Crystal" program*.
Otherwise clouding or etching may
occur after frequent washing.
– Cast iron pots and pans
– If left to dry, foods containing sulfur
can discolor silver. These include
egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise,
mustard, fish and marinades.
* depending on model
– Silverware may tarnish or pit if
washed next to stainless steel.
Leave space between these metals.
If unsure whether your china and
crystal are dishwasher safe, please
check with the manufacturer. The
China & Crystal program*, although
extremely gentle and thorough can
cause the china and crystal to "wear"
if they are not dishwasher safe.
– Clean aluminum items, e.g. grease
filters, with domestic dishwasher
detergent only.

Plumbing
Connection to the water supply
If not connected directly to a water
supply valve, an appropriate
adapter (not included) is required.
,Installation, repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous.
– Water pressure: Must be between
4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).
,Do not drink water from the
dishwasher!
– If the water pressure if lower, a
"Water Intake" notification will be
shown. See "Frequently Asked
Questions" for more information.
– The dishwasher can heat its own water
to the temperature required by the
wash program. This allows for
connection of the machine to either a
hot (max. 140°F / 60°C) or cold water
source.
– If the water pressure is higher than
shown, a pressure reducing valve
must be used.
Ensure that the water connection is
secure after the first use.
For lowest energy consumption and for
fastest possible wash times connect
the dishwasher to a hot water source.
All programs use hot water in the rinse
cycles.
,To prevent damage to the
dishwasher, it must only be
connected to a fully vented drainage
system.
– To use the "Energy Saver" program, a
hot water connection of minimum
115°F / 45°C and maximum 140°F /
60°C (water intake temperature) is
necessary.
,Do not cut the intake hose. If the
hose is cut, the dishwasher will not
work. There will be a water leak. If
the hose is too long, coil it neatly
and place it behind or under the
machine.
The higher the water intake
temperature, the better the cleaning
and drying results.
– The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.
(1.5 m) long.
– The water inlet hose comes
equipped with an inlet hose ending
with a 3/8" female compression
fitting. This can be directly
connected to a water supply valve or
to an appropriate coupling.

If the dishwasher drain hose is
connected to a floor drain or to a drain
pipe that is less than 8" (20 cm) above
the floor, the drain must be vented.
Otherwise the water inside the
dishwasher may siphon out during the
wash program.
