Y ou can use commercially available liquid
or powder proprietary detergents fordishwashers or T ABS (do not use
handwash!). If phosphate-free detergents are used with hard tap water , white deposits may be
deposited more easily on utensils and the container walls. This can be remedied by adding more detergent. See detergent packaging to determine whether a detergent is suitable for silver parts. If you have any other questions, we recommend that you contact the helplinesof the detergent manufacturers. Detergent  dispenser with

Note
The cleaning tabs from various manufacturers exhibit dif fering dissolving
properties, so washing power may notdevelop fully during short programmes and there may be undissolved cleaning agent residue. It is recommended to usewashing powder for these programmes. The Intensive programme (on some models) requires one tab only . When using
washing powder , you can apply some
of this cleaning agent to the inside ofthe appliance’ s door.

 3in1
The  use of so-called combined detergent
products may make the use of rinse aid and/or salt unnecessary .
There are currently several types ofcombined detergent products available.
2in1:  They contain detergent and rinse
aid  or salt function.
3in1:  They contain detergent, rinse aid
and  salt function.
4in1 : They contain a detergent,
rinse-aid, salt function  and an additional
glass protection component.
In addition, other combined products with a comparable ef fect are offered according
to the manufacturer .
>>>  Always check the type of detergent
or combined product which you are using!
Always follow the operating instructionsor the information on the packaging.
The rinse programme is automaticallyadjusted in order to obtain the best possible rinsing and drying result. Observe the following important information if using combined cleaning products:
Regeneration salt is not required up to a water hardness of 21  dH (37  fH,
26  Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only . No other
settings on the appliance are required.
Salt is still required if the water hardness is  above 21 dH (37  fH,
26 Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). Fill the salt
dispenser with salt 
24 and select
setting 6 on the water softening system.
If in doubt, please contact the detergent manufacturer , especially if:
the utensils are very wet at the end ofthe programme.

Note
Optimum rinsing and drying results can be obtained by using standard detergents in conjunction with separate application ofsalt and rinse aid. Observance of the operating instructions or information on the packaging of the combined detergents determines their 
effectiveness.
Note
Even if the rinse aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit, the rinse programme runscorrectly when 3in1 products are used. If the rinse aid refill indicator

Approx. 4 litres of water are required to regenerate the water softening system. As a result, the water consumption per
rinse cycle increases by 0 to maximum 4 litres depending on the water hardness
setting.
Note
If you use the detergent and rinse aid separately or switch from combined detergents to standard cleaning products, ensure that the rinse aid refill indicator has been switched on and the water softening system has been set to the correct waterhardness.

Programme
 selection
The  most appropriate programme can be
identified by comparing the type of crockery , cutlery, etc., as well as the
amount and condition of food remains, with the details contained in the programme overview .
Y ou will find the appropriate programme
information in the introduction.
Washing  dishes
 Reduce costs!
If only a small number of dishes have been loaded into the dishwasher , selecting
a programme that operates at the next lowest temperature will usually suf fice.
Programme  specifications
The  programme specifications can be
found in the summary of instructions. Programme specifications refer to normal conditions. Greater deviations may occur due to:
varying amounts of dishes
water supply temperature
water pipe pressure
ambient temperature
mains voltage tolerances
and the tolerances specific to the appliance (e.g. temperature, amount of water , etc.)
The water consumption values refer to a set water hardness value of 4. Aqua  sensor *
* some  models
The Aquasensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measuresthe turbidity of the rinsing water .
The Aqua sensor is used accordingto the programme. When the Aqua sensor is active, “clean” rinsing water may be transferred into the next rinsing bathand/or the temperature adjusted. If the turbidity is greater
, the water is
drained and is replaced with fresh water . In
this way water consumption can be reduced by approx. 4 litres. Switching  the dishwasher ON
Turn on the tap.
Set main switch 1 to ON.
Indicators light up according to the last programme that was selected. This same programme will run again if no other programme button 
6 is
pressed.
The numerical display 3 shows the
expected duration of the programme.

number of dishes, as well as the degree of soiling. If these conditions are changed, the running time (depending on the selected programme) can vary greatly .
As the ef fect is not detected until a
programme is running, the time may be longer or shorter than expected. 
Time  delay
You  can delay the start of the programme
in 1-hour steps up to 24 hours.

It is recommended to put approx. 5 g ofdetergent on the door .
 Reduce/save time*
The  rinsing times and the drying phase
are reduced. The reduced time  lowers
the rinsing and drying performance.
 T op basket washing only *
If  there are only a few utensils (e.g.
glasses, cups, plates), use the top basket. The bottom basket must be empty! Use slightly less detergent than is recommended for a complete load.
 Bottom basket washing

pans, bowls), use the bottom basket. The top basket must be empty! Use slightly less detergent than is recommended for a complete load. Maintenance
 and care
A  regular inspection and maintenance of
your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents problems. Overall  condition of the
machine
Check  washing chamber for grease
and limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent, start the appliance withoututensils in the programme which has the highest wash temperature.
Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.
Regularly wipe the door seal with a damp cloth.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher . The manufacturer is not liable
for any consequential damage. Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and panel with a damp cloth; water and a little washing-up liquid will suf fice.

Check  the refill indicators 8  9.
If required, top up the salt and/or rinse aid.
Filters The filters 
25  prevent larger remnants of
food or other objects from getting inside the pump. This residue can occasionally clog up the filters. The filter system consists of a filter cylinder , a flat fine filter and, depending on
the model, a microfilter (*).
