Safety instructions Read the user manual and keep it 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.
WARNING! Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Installation See the chapter Installation. Overflow guard The overflow guard starts pumping out the water and turns off the water supply if the water level in the dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If the overflow guard is triggered, F54 (Overfilling water) appears on the display.
Before washing for the first time 1. 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).
2. 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 19. 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 Lift up to open 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.
