Adding dishwasher Salt  
To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up with dishwasher  
salt. Use only special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers.  
If you do not use 3 in1 detergent, fill up with dishwasher salt:  
Before using the dishwasher for the first time.  
When the control indicator for dishwasher salt is illuminated on the  
control panel.  
1.Open the door and remove the low-  
er basket.  
2.Unscrew the lid on the salt dispens-  
er by turning it anti-clockwise.  
3.Only when using the dishwasher  
for the first time:  
Fill the salt dispenser with water.  
4.Place the funnel (supplied) over the  
dispenser opening.  
Fill the dispenser with dishwasher  
salt; the capacity of the dispenser is  
approx. 1.0-1.5 kg, depending on  
the size of the grains. Do not overfill  
the dispenser.  
3 If water overflows when filling up with dishwasher salt, this is com-  
pletely harmless.  
5.Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser opening.  
6.Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction.  
7.Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt dispenser with dish-  
washer salt. This will wash away salt water and salt crystals that have  
been spilt.  
3 Depending on the size of the salt granules, it can take several hours for  
the salt to dissolve in the water and for the control indicator for dish-  
washer salt to go out.

Filling Up with Rinse Aid  
Rinse aid causes the rinse water to flow easily from the crockery leav-  
ing gleaming dishes and glassware.  
If you do not use 3in1 detergent, fill up with rinse aid:  
Before using the dishwasher for the first time.  
When the control indicator for rinse aid is illuminated on the control  
panel.  
Use only special rinse aid for dish-  
washers.  
1.Open the door.  
The rinse aid compartment is locat-  
ed on the inside of the dishwasher  
door.  
2.Press the release button on the rinse  
aid compartment.  
3.Open the cover.  
4.Pour rinse aid in slowly right up to  
the broken “max” line;  
this corresponds to a volume of ap-  
prox. 140 ml when full.  
5.Press the lid shut until it clicks into  
place.  
6.Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a  
cloth. Otherwise there will be too  
much foam when rinsing.

In daily use  
Loading cutlery and dishes  
1 Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other objects that can absorb water  
must not be washed in the dishwasher. Plastic and Teflon-coated dishes  
and pans tend to retain water droplets. These dishes and pans therefore  
do not dry as well as those made of china and stainless steel.  
For washing in the dishwasher, the following cutlery/dishes/pots and pans  
are not suitable:  
are of limited suitability:  
Cutlery with wooden, horn,  
china or mother of pearl han-  
dles  
Plastic items that are not heat  
resistant  
Older cutlery with cement  
that is sensitive to temperature  
Dishes or cutlery with glued  
parts  
Pewter or copper items  
Lead crystal glass  
Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is  
specifically marked by the manufacturer as  
being dishwasher-safe.  
Glazed patterns may fade if washed very fre-  
quently in the dishwasher.  
Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to  
discolour during washing. Food remains, e.g.  
egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause  
discoloration and staining on silver. Therefore  
always clean food residues from silver immedi-  
ately, if it is not to be washed straight after  
use.  
Steel items that rust  
Wooden boards/platters  
Items made from synthetic ma-  
terials  
Glass can become dull after a large number of  
washes.  
Before loading the dishes, you should:  
Remove the worst of the food residues.  
Soak pans with burnt-on food residues.  
When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:  
Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.  
Load bowls, cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so  
that water cannot collect in them  
Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another or cover  
one another  
To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch one another  
Don’t put small items (e.g. lids) in the baskets for the dishes, but in  
the cutlery basket, so that they can’t fall through the holes.

Loading cutlery  
1 Warning: Sharp knives and other items of cutlery with sharp edges  
must be laid in the cutlery rack or in the upper basket to avoid the risk  
of injury.  
To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be reached  
by the water, you should:  
1.Place the grid insert on the cut- 2.Place forks and spoons in the  
lery basket  
cutlery basket's grid insert with  
their handles pointing down-  
wards.  
For larger utensils, such as whisks, leave off one half of the cutlery grid.  
Pots, Pans, Large Plates  
Load larger and heavily soiled dishes  
and pans in the lower basket.  
(Max. diameter for plates 29 cm).  
15  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
To make it easier to load larger dish-  
es, the two plate racks on the right  
in the lower basket can be folded  
down.  
Cups, Glasses, Coffee Service  
Load smaller, fragile crockery and  
long, sharp cutlery in the upper bas-  
ket.  
Arrange items of crockery on and  
under the folding cup racks so  
that they are offset from each  
other and water can reach all  
items.  
The cup racks can be folded up  
out of the way for tall crockery  
items.  
Lay or hang wine and brandy  
glasses in the slots in the cup  
racks.

Adding Detergent  
Detergents remove the dirt from  
dishes and cutlery.  
The detergent must be added before  
the cycle starts.  
1 Only use detergent intended for do-  
mestic dishwashers.  
The detergent compartment is lo-  
cated on the inside of the door.  
1.If the lid is closed:  
Press the release button.  
The lid will spring open.  
2.Place the detergent in the detergent  
dispenser. The markings indicate the  
dosing levels for powder detergents:  
“20/30” corresponds to approx.  
20/30 ml of detergent.  
Follow the manufacturer’s instruc-  
tions with regard to dosing and  
storage.  
3.Close the lid and press until it locks  
into place.  
3 In the case of very heavily soiled  
dishes, fill the adjoining compart-  
ment (1) with additional detergent.  
This detergent comes into use during the pre-wash cycle.

Concentrated detergents  
Today’s detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-alkaline  
concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet or powder  
form.  
2 Using 50°C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with these concentrated  
detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these dish-  
washing cycles are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties  
of the enzymes in concentrated detergents. It is for this reason that us-  
ing 50 °C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with concentrated deter-  
gents can achieve the same cleaning results that can otherwise only be  
achieved using 65 °C cycles.  
Detergent tablets  
3 Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different  
rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full  
cleaning power during short cycles. Therefore please use dishwashing  
cycles with pre-wash when using detergent tablets.  
Using 3in1 detergents  
These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and  
salt function.  
When the 3in1 function is activated,  
the addition of special salt and rinse aid from the respective dispenser  
is prevented.  
If the salt and rinse aid dispensers are empty, this is not indicated.  
The dishwashing cycles can be up to 30 minutes longer.  
3 If you want to use 3in1 detergents, check whether these detergents are  
suitable for your water hardness. (Follow the manufacturer’s instruc-  
tions.)  
19  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
If you want to use 3in1 products  
1.Press the ON/OFF button.  
2.Press the 3 IN 1 button.  
The button indicator lights up: 3in1 function is selected.  
Before the start of the dishwashing cycle put 3in1 detergent in the de-  
tergent dispenser.  
3 As the rinse aid inflow is automatically switched off when the 3in1  
function is activated, it may come about because of the different qual-  
ity standards in the 3in1 detergent, that the dishes do not dry suffi-  
ciently.  
If this happens, proceed as follows (see section “Adding rinse aid”):  
Fill up the dispenser (if this is empty) with rinse aid.  
Set rinse aid dosage to “2” mechanically.  
Activate rinse aid inflow.  
If you do not want to use 3in1 products any more  
If you want to stop using 3in1 products, please do the following:  
Deactivate the 3in1 function.  
Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.  
Switch the water softener to the highest setting and perform up to  
three normal cycles without loading any dishes.  
Then set the water softener to the water hardness in your area.  
If you want to use 4in1 products  
When using "4 in 1" detergents that integrate also anti- glass corrosion  
agent into "3 in 1" formula, please follow the same indication as given  
for "3 in 1" detergents.

1) The consumption values were obtained under standardised conditions. They depend on how  
full the baskets for the dishes are. Variations are therefore possible in practice.  
2) When using this cycle the degree of water clouding determines the amount of soiling on the  
dishes. The length of the cycle and water and energy consumption can vary greatly – de-  
pending upon the load and how dirty the dishes are. Depending upon the soiling, the tem-  
perature of the water will be automatically adjusted to between 50°C and 65°C.  
3) When using this cycle, only load the dishwasher half full.  
4) During the final rinse, the temperature is increased to 68° for 10 minutes to sanitize e.g. plas-  
tic chopping boards or jam jars.

Installation and connection instructions  
1 Safety Information for the Installation  
Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position, otherwise salt  
water may run out.  
Before using the dishwasher for the first time, check for any damage  
caused in transport. Do not under any circumstances connect an ap-  
pliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your  
supplier.  
Never use the dishwasher if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose  
are damaged; or if the control panel, work top or plinth area are  
damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible.  
Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof  
socket.  
Permanent connection: a permanent connection must only be in-  
stalled by a trained electrician.  
Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated  
voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the sup-  
ply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be  
found on the rating plate.  
Multi-way plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used.  
This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.  
The dishwasher’s cable must only be replaced by a Service Force Engi-  
neer.  
A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a Serv-  
ice Force Engineer.

Installing the Dishwasher  
The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to en-  
sure that it is stable and level in all directions.  
To compensate for unevenness in  
the floor and to match the height  
of the appliance to that of sur-  
rounding units, extend the thread-  
ed feet using a screwdriver.  
The drain hose, inlet hose and  
mains cable must be laid so that  
they are able to move freely within  
the plinth area, and so that they  
are not kinked or crushed when the  
dishwasher is in position.  
The dishwasher must also be  
screwed tightly to the work surface  
or to the adjoining units. This is essential to ensure the dishwasher  
does not tip up.  
36  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Free-standing appliances  
1 If the dishwasher is installed directly next to a cooker, a heat-insulat-  
ing, non-flammable panel (laminated with aluminium foil on the side  
next to the cooker) must be fitted flush with the top edge of the work  
surface (depth 57.5 cm).  
If the appliance is built-in under a  
kitchen work surface, the worktop  
supplied with the dishwasher can be  
removed in the following way:  
1.Unscrew the screws from the elbows  
at the rear (1).  
2.Push the appliance’s worktop back-  
wards about 1 cm (2).  
3.Lift the worktop at the front (3) and  
remove it.  
1 If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the work  
surface supplied with it must be re-mounted.  
3 The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.

Connecting the dishwasher  
Connecting to the water supply  
The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up  
to max. 60°C.  
The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances  
or instantaneous water heaters.  
Permitted water pressure  
Lowest permitted water pressure:  
1 bar (=10 N/cm2 =100 kPa)  
Consult your plumber if the water pres-  
sure is less than 1 bar.  
If the water pressure is greater than 10  
bar, a pressure reduction valve must be  
used (available from your dealer).  
Highest permitted water pressure:  
10 bar (=100 N/cm2 =1 MPa)  
Connecting the inlet hose  
1 The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it  
is being connected.  
Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000) on the water inlet  
hose to a tap with an external thread (¾ inch). The inlet hose is fitted  
with either a plastic or a metal nut:  
Only tighten the nut hand tight.  
Then do a visual check for water tightness. (Make sure that the tap is  
not dripping.)  
3 So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not restricted by the use of  
the dishwasher, we recommend installing an additional tap, or fitting a  
T-branch to the existing tap.  
If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, the following  
VDE-approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available  
from your local service centre.

Water drainage  
Drain hose  
1 The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled.  
Connecting the drain hose:  
Maximum permitted height: 1 metre.  
Minimum required height: 40 cm above the bottom edge of the ap-  
pliance.  
Extension hoses  
Extension hoses are available from  
your local Service Force Centre. To  
ensure that the function of the ap-  
pliance is not impeded, the internal  
diameter of extension hoses must  
be 19 mm.  
Extension hoses must not be laid  
more than a maximum distance of  
4 metres horizontally; the maxi-  
mum permitted height for the con-  
nection for the drain hose is then  
85 cm.  
Sink outlet connection  
The outlet of the drain hose (ø 19 mm) fits all commonly available  
sink outlet types. The outer diameter of the sink outlet connection  
must be at least 15 mm.  
The drain hose must be fixed to the sink outlet connection using the  
hose clamp supplied.  
Water drainage if the dishwasher is built-in at high level  
If the dishwasher is installed at a high level, and the drain hose connec-  
tion is less than 30 cm from the lower edge of the appliance, adapter  
kit ET 111099520 must be fitted by your local Service Force Centre.  
Water drainage into sink (only possible with free-standing appli-  
ances)  
If you wish to hang the drain hose over the edge of a sink, use a de-  
tachable hose elbow. You can obtain this from Service Force by refer-  
ring to spare part number ET 646 069 190.  
1.Fit the elbow to the drain hose.  
2.Secure the drain hose so that it cannot slide off the edge of the sink.  
Pass a piece of cord through the hose elbow and fix it to the wall or the  
tap.

Anti-flood system  
For protection from water damage, the dishwasher is equipped with a  
anti-flood system.  
In the event of a fault, the safety valve in the water inlet hose immedi-  
ately interrupts the supply of water to the appliance and the drain  
pump is activated. In this way water can neither escape nor overflow.  
The remaining water in the appliance is automatically pumped out.  
Electrical Connection  
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be car-  
ried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.  
1 WARNING - This appliance must be earthed.  
The manufacturer declines any responsibility should these safety  
measures not be observed.  
Before switching on make sure the electricity supply voltage is the  
same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate.  
To isolate the dishwasher from the mains, remove the mains plug.  
Important: The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has  
been installed.  
Changing a fuse  
The appliance is supplied with a 13amp plug fitted. In the event of hav-  
ing to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13amp ASTA approved  
(BS 1363A) fuse must be used.  
Green & Yellow  
Should the plug need to be replaced  
for any reason, proceed as described  
below.  
The wires on the mains lead are col-  
oured in accordance with the fol-  
lowing code.

ous safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that, if it is necessary to cut off  
the plug, it is disposed of safely and not retained.  
Connecting systems  
The water inlet hose, drain hose and the mains cable must all be con-  
nected to the side of the dishwasher as there is no space for them be-  
hind the appliance.
