Safety instructions Read the operating instructions and keep them in a safe place! Number of standard place settings: 13 Never use the dishwasher for any purpose other than that specified in these operating instructions.

WARNING! Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the points down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other baskets. WARNING!

Overflow guard function The overflow guard starts pumping out the machine and turns off the water supply if the water level in the dishwasher exceeds the normal level.
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 Top up with rinse aid Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with clear and spotless dishes.
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.
