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. Only install the dishwasher below a hob after taking into consideration the specified safety clearances. 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 sup-

plied for the drinking water and waste water connections are not affected here. 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.

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 23 and Rinse aid Page 24 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.

Detergent Tabs
Powder detergent

Description 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 is recommended for shorter Programmes. The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.

26

Detergent Liquid detergent

Description 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.

Tip: Suitable detergents are available online via our website or from Customer Service Page 49.

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. For better washing and drying results and to avoid damage to the appliance, please additionally use Special salt Page 23 and Rinse aid Page 24.

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 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.

Detergent Hand washing-up liquid
Detergent containing chlorine

Description Hand washing-up liquid can cause increased frothing and damage the appliance. Chlorine residue on tableware may present a risk to health.

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 com-

Detergenten pletely 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 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 rinse aid. ¡ Use tablets with a special drying performance.
13.4Adding detergent
1. To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking latch.

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. 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 appliance and dissolve. 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. 28

14.2Arrange tableware
Arrange tableware correctly to optimise the dishwashing result and prevent damage to both the appliance and tableware. 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

Tablewareen load with tableware and cutlery). “Technical specifications”, Page 51 ¡ 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. To save resources, do not prerinse tableware under running water.
2. Observe the following when arranging tableware: ­ 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 arm so it can still turn.
