Preventing material damage
2.1Safe installation
ATTENTION! Improper installation of the appliance may cause damage. If the
dishwasher is installed above
or below other domestic appliances, follow the information on installation in
combination with a dishwasher in the installation instructions for the
individual appliances. If there is no information or if the installation
instructions do not include the relevant information, contact the manufacturer
of these appliances to check that the dishwasher can be installed above or
below these appliances. If no information is available from the manufacturer,
the dishwasher should not be installed above or below such appliances. To
ensure the safe operation of all domestic appliances, continue following the
installation instructions for the dishwasher. Do not install the dishwasher
under a hob. Do not install the dishwasher near heat sources, e.g. radiators,
heat storage tanks, ovens or other appliances that generate heat. Contact
between the appliance and water pipes may lead to corrosion of these pipes,
possibly causing them to leak. Check that there is a distance of at least 5 cm
between the appliance and the water pipe. The pipes supplied for the drinking
water and waste water connections are not affected here.
10
Modified or damaged water hoses may result in material damage and damage to
the appliance. Never kink, crush, modify or cut
through water hoses. 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.
2.2Safe use
ATTENTION! Escaping water vapour can damage 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.

“Sensors”, Page 12
Zeolith drying automatically helps to save energy. a “Zeolith drying “, Page
12
4.3Zeolith 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. 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
4.4Sensors
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 42

13Detergent Detergent
Detergent
13.1Suitable 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 30 and Rinse aid Page 31
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.
Tip: Suitable detergents are available online via our website or from Customer
Service Page 56.
Tabs Tabs are suitable for all cleaning functions and do not need to be
measured out. With shorter programmes tabs sometimes do not dissolve entirely
and leave residues of detergent. This may impair the cleaning effect.
Powder detergent Powder detergent is recommended for shorter programmes. The
dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.
Liquid detergent Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for shorter
programmes 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 programme without
PreRinse. ¡ Do not select timer programming
for starting the programme. The dosage can be adjusted to the level of
soiling.
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.
Detergenten
For better washing and drying results and to avoid damage to the appliance,
please additionally use Special salt Page 30 and Rinse aid Page 31. 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, depending on
the combination (4in1, 5in1, …), additional components such as glass
protection or stainless steel cleaner. According to the 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.
13.2Unsuitable detergents
Do not use detergent which could cause damage to the appliance or present a
risk to health. Hand washing-up liquid Hand washing-up liquid can cause
increased frothing and damage the appliance. Detergent containing chlorine
Chlorine residue on tableware may present a risk to health.
33
enDetergent
13.3Information 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
the 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 a separate rinse aid. ¡ Use
tablets with a special drying performance.
13.4Adding detergent
1. To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking latch.
2. Add the detergent to the dry detergent dispenser.
50 ml 25 ml 15 ml
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.
34
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser.
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.
14Tableware Tableware

14.2Arrange tableware
Arrange tableware correctly to optimise the dishwashing result and prevent
damage to both the appliance and tableware. Note Load the baskets so that no
projecting items of tableware interfere with closing of the door. Projecting
items of tableware may push the appliance door open during the programme, so
allowing steam to escape and water to leak out around the door. This could
damage your kitchen units. 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. ¡ To save energy and
water, load the machine with the number of place settings specified (standard
load with tableware and cutlery). “Technical specifications”, Page 57 ¡ 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.
36
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.
