    Your dishwasher must be correctly installed and connected. Please read the section on "Installation" to make sure you know all about this. Before using your dishwasher for the first time, do not forget that the nominal voltage and current type indicated on the rating plate of your machine must be the same as the nominal voltage and current type at the installation site.
  • Page 5 The water in your dishwasher should not be used for drinking. Detergent residues may still be present in your machine. Make sure you do not splash these caustic residues onto your skin. Keep children well away from your dishwasher when its door is open.
  • Page 6: Disposing Of Packaging And Old Machines

    Disposing of packaging and old machines Disposing of the packaging Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we always confine ourselves to what is absolutely necessary. Warning! Packaging parts (e.g. foils, styrene foam) may be dangerous for children and can cause suffocation. You should therefore keep all packaging well away from children.
  • Page 7: Economical And Ecological Dishwashing

    Economical and ecological dishwashing Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted. Do not pre-rinse under running water. Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soiling on the dishes. Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse aid than is recommended in these operating instructions and by the manufacturer of the respective product.

    5. Fill the rinse-aid dispenser. Setting the water hardness range The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
  • Page 10: Filling With Special Salt

    Filling with special salt Caution! The packaging of dishwasher salt and detergents are often very similar. The accidental filling of the salt compartment with detergent would ruin the water softener. Each time you add salt, make sure the carton you have in your hand really is salt.
  • Page 11 To fill: 1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container. 2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time). 3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full.
  • Page 12: The Rinse Aid

    The rinse-aid The rinse-aid ensures brilliant crockery and also helps it to dry. It is automatically dosed in during the hot rinsing cycle. The storage compartment built in to the inside of the door can hold about 110 ml of rinse-aid, which will be sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing programmes, according to the dosage setting.
  • Page 13 Adjusting the dose The correct dosage of the rinse-aid should be regulated on the basis of the shine and drying results. For this purpose, set the quantity of liquid by means of the six-position selector (C) located on the inside of the filler opening (minimum quantity is position 1, maximum quantity is position 6).
