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.

Packaging The outer packaging protects the product during transport. The packaging material is recyclable. Separate the different packaging materials to help reduce raw material use and waste. Your dealer can take the packaging for recycling or direct you to the nearest recycling centre. The packaging is comprised of: Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recycled material.
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 page 23. Set up: Rinse aid Water hardness TAB (All-in-one detergent) Top up with rinse aid Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid.
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.
Upper basket Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!

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 Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. This dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water. Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also entails greater environmental impact.
On/Off Start/Pause/Stop Display WiFi NOTE! The control panel only reacts to use when the door is closed. On/Off Close the door properly, otherwise the dishwasher will not start. Press . Also turn on the water tap if it is turned off. Select program Select a program to suit the type of dishes and how dirty they are.
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.
