You can activate AutoDos.
Before using for the first time Dishwasher salt In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and on the wash cabinet walls. Mains water with a water hardness level higher than 0.9 mmol/l (5 °dH – German scale) must be softened. This occurs automatically in the integrated water softener. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70 °dH – German scale).
Before using for the first time Filling the salt reservoir Before filling the salt reservoir for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2 l of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used once, there is always sufficient water in the salt reservoir. Remove the lower basket from the wash cabinet and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Danger of corrosion due to saline solution. Water or saline solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is opened.

Cleaning and care Check the condition of your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4–6 months). In this way, faults and problems can be avoided. Cleaning the wash cabinet Damage due to unsuitable clean- The frequent use of low-temperature wash programmes (< 50 °C) increases the risk of contamination and odours inside the wash cabinet. Run the Intensive 75 °C programme once per month to clean the wash cabinet and prevent odours from developing. ing agents. All surfaces are susceptible to scratching.
Cleaning and care Hygiene cycle If you mainly use low temperature programmes, there is a risk of bacteria and unpleasant odours building up in the wash cabinet. If you repeatedly use low temperature programmes, you should regularly run a high temperature programme. This is to prevent the build-up of residues and odours. You can activate or deactivate a Hygiene info message (see “Settings – Hygiene cycle”).
Cleaning and care Cleaning the appliance front Damage due to soiling. Soiling that is left too long might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolour. It is therefore best to remove any soiling immediately. Clean the appliance front with a clean soft sponge and a solution of warm water and washing-up liquid. After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry using a soft cloth. A clean, damp microfibre cloth without detergent can also be used.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the AutoDos If the Clean AutoDos message is displayed, check that the fill channel is clean, and clean it if necessary, e.g. powder residues. This helps keep the AutoDos working properly. Turn the AutoDos lid to and open it. Remove the PowerDisk if appropriate. In order to ensure that the AutoDos works at its best, check it each time you replace the PowerDisk and clean it if needed. Pull the PowerDisk holder upwards by the yellow tabs and remove it.
Cleaning and care Clean the fill channel using water and a soft brush if necessary. It is very important that no moisture gets inside the AutoDos system during cleaning. Dry the fill channel well so that the detergent powder does not clump together. Insert the fill channel again until the tab clicks into place. The AutoDos lid must close tightly so that the detergent powder does not get wet and clump together. Make sure that all seals are clean. Insert a PowerDisk.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms Removing the cutlery tray (if present) Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm nozzles and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected regularly (approx. every 2– 4 months). In order to be able to remove the upper spray, you first have to remove the cutlery tray (if present). Take out the cutlery tray. Never run a wash programme without using the spray arms. Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system.
Cleaning and care Removing the top spray arm Removing the lower spray arm Remove the lower basket. Push the upper spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm by rotating the screw thread anti-clockwise . Removing the middle spray arm Rotate the screw thread of the middle spray arm clockwise and remove the spray arm . Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm anti-clockwise and pull the spray arm upwards to remove .
Cleaning and care Inserting the upper spray arm Refit the upper spray arm and tighten it by hand. Inserting the middle spray arm Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm clockwise until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol . Make sure the spray arms can rotate freely. Damage due to soiling entering the circulation system. The lower spray arm is used to secure the filter combination. Without filters, coarse soiling can enter the circulation system and cause a blockage.
Cleaning and care Checking the filters in the wash cabinet Cleaning the filters The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soiling from the suds solution. This prevents soiling getting into the circulation system and re-entering the wash cabinet through the spray arms. Remove the lower spray arm (see “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the spray arms” section). Damage due to soiling entering Switch the dishwasher off.
Cleaning and care In order to clean the inside of the filter, pull the microfilter on the plastic ring downwards and away from the filter combination. Rinse all the parts under running water. If necessary, use a soft cleaning brush to remove soiling. Insert the microfilter back into the filter combination. Refit the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. Refit the lower spray arm to the filter combination using the screw connection.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the water inlet filter A filter is incorporated in the screw thread to protect the water inlet valve. If the filter is soiled, insufficient water flows into the wash cabinet. Risk of electric shock from mains voltage. The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical valve. The housing must not be dipped in water. Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains. To do this, turn off the dishwasher, switch off at the socket and remove the plug. Close the stopcock.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the drain pump If water remains in the wash cabinet after the end of a programme, the water has not been pumped away. The drain pump may be blocked by foreign objects. These are easy to remove. Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains. To do this, turn off the dishwasher, switch off at the socket and withdraw the plug. Take the filter combination out of the wash cabinet (see “Cleaning and care” chapter, “Cleaning the filters”).
Cleaning and care Damage due to incorrect cleaning. The components are delicate and can be damaged during cleaning. Take care when cleaning the drain pump. The drain pump (see arrow) is underneath the cover. Risk of injury from glass splinters. It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump. Take care when cleaning the drain pump. Carefully remove all foreign objects from the drain pump. Check the drain pump impeller by manually turning it.
