Safety instructions Read the operating instructions and keep them in a safe place! Number of standard place settings: 16 Never use the dishwasher for any purpose other than that specified in these operating instructions. Do not load the dishwasher door or dishwasher baskets with anything other than dishes.
A damaged or defective UVC light source may only be replaced by the manufacturer's service centre or someone similarly professionally qualified. WARNING! Knives and other pointed items must be placed horizontally in the dishwasher's special cutlery baskets. WARNING! Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Automatic child lock You can activate the Automatic child lock setting to prevent children from starting the dishwasher.
Disposal The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling. When the dishwasher has reached the end of its service life and is to be disposed of, it should immediately be made unusable. Pull out the power cable and cut it as short as possible. Remove the light source/light sources. Contact your local authority for information about where and how your dishwasher should be correctly recycled.
Before washing for the first time Water hardness In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher. Checking water hardness Water hardness is specified using German degrees of water hardness (°dH), French degrees of water hardness (°fH), English degrees of water hardness (°eH) or millimoles per litre (mmol/l).
Basic settings The first time the dishwasher is switched on, it is important that you choose the right settings to ensure good dishwashing results. See the chapter Settings. Set up: Rinse aid Water hardness Automatic detergent dispensing Top up with rinse aid Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid.
Top up dishwasher detergent for automatic dosing Fill the automatic dosing compartment with dishwasher detergent gel if you have activated the Automatic detergent dispensing setting. Lift up to open 1. Open the lid of the automatic dosing compartment for dishwasher detergent gel. 2.
Greener dishwashing Save energy and water When using a dishwasher in a residential setting, less energy and water are generally used compared to washing the dishes by hand. Do not rinse under running water Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water consumption. Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Loading the dishwasher Fragile dishes Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high heat, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent. Exercise caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic.
The top cutlery tray is comprised of three parts that can be moved sideways to better accommodate the dishes. Upper basket Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards! Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right.
Adjustable plate supports The adjustable plate supports can be folded down to make it easier to load pots, bowls and glasses. Lower basket Place plates, side plates, serving dishes and pots in the lower basket. Cutlery can be placed in the cutlery holder.
Using the dishwasher Add detergent You have two options for adding detergent – manual or automatic. To activate Automatic detergent dispensing, see the chapter Settings. The manual detergent compartment can be used as a supplement even when Automatic detergent dispensing is activated (for bleach, for example, or if the automatic dosing compartment is empty).

Glass 40° A gentle dishwashing program with a low temperature for washing fragile items made of crystal/glass. Remember to use a small amount of detergent and to place items so that they do not touch each other during the wash. See also Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher. Porcelain that has just been used without dried leftovers can also be washed using this program.
SmartDry The dishwasher's fan, together with the automatic door opening function, shortens the program time and improves the drying results. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program has ended and the dishes have cooled before unloading the dishwasher. The drying time of the SmartDry option varies (from 5 to 90 minutes) depending on the model, program and temperature of the final rinse.
Stopping or changing a program Press and hold for three seconds to pause the program. If you want to interrupt or change the program after starting the dishwasher, press and hold for another five seconds. Open the door and top up with new detergent if the lid of the detergent dispenser has opened. Close the door.
Unloading the dishwasher Hot porcelain is more fragile. Leave the dishes to cool in the dishwasher before unloading them. Unload the lower basket first to avoid any water drops from the upper basket falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.
