Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes.
WARNING! Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher clean- ing agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance. Rinse aid ensures thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
Daily use • Check if it's necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid. • Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher. • Fill with dishwasher detergent. • Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes.

• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move. For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes are not suitable: • Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother- of-pearls handles.
The lower basket Load larger and heavily soiled dishes and pans in the lower basket. To make it easier to load larger dishes, all rear plate racks in the lower basket can be folded down. The cutlery basket WARNING! Sharp knives and other items of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid in the cutlery tray or in the upper basket because of the risk of injury.

The cutlery basket can be opened out. Always make sure that you put your hand around both parts of the two-part handle when removing it from the dishwasher. 1. Place the cutlery basket on a table or work surface. 2. Open out the two-part handle.
The upper basket Load smaller, fragile crockery and long, sharp cutlery in the upper basket. • Arrange items of crockery on and under the folding cup racks so that they are offset from each other and water can reach all items.
Load cutlery and dishes • The row of spikes on the left of the upper basket is also in two parts and can be folded away. Spikes not folded away: place glasses, mugs etc. in the upper basket. Spikes folded away: more room for serv- ing dishes.
Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pol- lution. Fill with detergent 1.

Washing programmes If you decide to turn back to the use of standard detergent system we advise that you: 1. Deactivate the "Multitab function". 2. Fill up the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser again. 3. Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting and perform 1 normal washing programme without loading any dishes.
45° C and 70° C. 3) Ideal for washing a partially loaded dishwasher. This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutlery.
• If a new washing programme is to be selected, check that there is detergent in the detergent dispenser. Interrupt a washing programme in progress • Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop. Close the door; the pro- gramme will start from the point at which it was interrupted.
• Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water drip- ping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one. • Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.

Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is switched off. 1. Open the door, remove the lower basket. 2. The dishwasher filter system compri- ses a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (B) and a flat filter. Unlock the filter system using the handle on the mi- crofilter, and remove the filter system.
WARNING! NEVER use the dishwasher without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results and may result in damage to the appliance. Cleaning the spray arms NEVER try to remove the spray arms. If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a cocktail stick.
Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation. What to do if… The dishwasher will not start or stops during operation. Certain problems are due to the lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved with the help of the indications described in the chart, without calling out an engineer.

Hints for test institutes Testing in accordance with EN 60704 must be carried out with appliance fully loaded and using the test programme (see "Washing programmes").

Hints for test institutes Lower basket with cutlery basket Cutlery basket 1) If there are cup racks in place on the lefthand side or the cutlery tray is in place, remove them.
Attention! Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for building in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel. No further openings for the venting of the dishwasher are required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power supply cable pass through.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected. The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut.
60 cm from the bottom of the dishwasher. The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher. Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.
When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic membrane (A) must be removed. Failure to remove all the membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot.
