Water softener To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. The dishwasher therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap water with a hardness of 4°d (German degree) and harder is softened with the aid of special salt. Your water supplier will be able to inform you about the hardness and hardness range of the water in your area.
Setting electronically: 5. Press the ON/OFF button. The LED indicators for all the buttons in the control panel that are now able to be selected will become illuminated. If the only LED indicator illuminated is one that belongs to a programme button, this means that this dishwashing cycle has been activated. The dishwashing cycle must be cancelled (RESET): Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously for approx. 1 second.
Special salt for the water softener 3 If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, then the water in your dishwasher does not need to be softened and you do not need to use special salt or salt substitute. Water can be softened in one of two ways: • • If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt substitute, the detergent only is put into the detergent compartment.

Open the door, remove the lower basket. 2. Undo the lid on the salt container by turning it anticlockwise. 3. Only when using for the first time: fill the salt container with water. 4. Place the funnel supplied on the container opening.
Rinse aid Rinse aid ensures that your dishes gleam and are free from spots, and that your glasses are clear. Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways: • • If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid is put into the detergent compartment. – In this case the dispensing of rinse aid from the supply container must be deactivated to avoid a double dosage.
Adding rinse aid If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, add the rinse aid: – Before using the dishwasher for the first time. – When the H indicator on the control panel is illuminated. The rinse aid compartment is on the inside of the dishwasher door. 1. Open the door. 2. Press the rinse aid compartment release button with your finger. 3.

Activating/deactivating the acoustic signal The acoustic signal can indicate acoustically: – at which water hardness the water softener is set. – when a dishwashing cycle has finished. – when an error has occurred with the dishwasher. You can switch on/off the acoustic signal in the following way: 1. Press the ON/OFF button. The LED indicators for all the buttons in the control panel that are now able to be selected will become illuminated.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS Installing the Dishwasher • • • • • The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it is stable and level. To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the appliance to that of surrounding units extend the threaded feet by unscrewing: – use a screwdriver. For built-in, integrated and fully integrated dishwashers, the rear feet should be adjusted from the front of the appliance using a screwdriver.
Connecting the Dishwasher Water Connection The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations. • The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up to max. 60 °C. • The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or instantaneous water heaters.
3 The following section is only applicable to dishwashers that have a safety valve on the threaded hose fitting for the tap: Water inlet hose with safety valve After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running water and the draining pump in the dishwasher is switched on.
Water drain Drain hose The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled. Connecting the drain hose: – Maximum permitted height: 1 metre. – Minimum required height 40 cm above the lower edge of the machine. 1 • Extension hoses • • Extension hoses are available from your dealer or customer service. The internal diameter of the extension hoses must be 19 mm to ensure that the function of the appliance is not impeded.
Electrical Connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. 1 WARNING - This appliance must be earthed. The manufacturer declines any responsibility should these safety measures not be observed. Before switching on make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. To isolate the dishwasher from the mains, remove the mains plug.
Connections The water inlet and drain hoses, as well as the mains cable must be connected beside the dishwasher because there is no space for them behind the appliance. The example plumbing and electrical installation given below can only be regarded as a recommendation; the actual situation where the dishwasher is to be installed will define the exact installation (available connections, local electricity and water board regulations for connecting up appliances, etc.).
