Your dishwasher in day-to-day use

q q q q q

Items that are contaminated by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris, corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals must not be washed in this dishwasher. Under no circumstances should you open the door whilst the appliance is in operation, especially during the washing phase, hot water may escape. However, if the door is opened, a safety device ensures that the machine stops. Only use products (detergent, salt and rinse aid) specifically designed for use in dishwashers. Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the open door and hurting themselves. When finishing loading or unloading close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. Do not sit or stand on the open door. Isolate the appliance from the power supply and turn off the water supply after use. This product should be serviced by an authorised service engineer, and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Force Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts.

Disposal
Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All packaging materials can be recycled. Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material. >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-free). >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips. Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling. As and when you cease to use your dishwasher and withdraw it from service, your should render it unserviceable before having it disposed of. Warning! Children at play could lock themselves in your dishwasher or otherwise endanger their lives. Therefore cut off the power supply cable and make the door closing device unusable to prevent children from being trapped inside. For the disposing of the appliance please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer who may, for a small contribution to the costs, dispose it for you. The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.

Filling with dishwasher salt
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. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise. 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. 4. Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket. 5. Replace on the cap tightly turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.
The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished. The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

Pagina 15

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.

Filling with rinse aid

1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A). 2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The maximum level for filling is indicated by max.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

Pagina 16

The two rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.

Pagina 20

The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles facing upwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together. For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids provided (if the size and 2 dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

Pagina 21

The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses. Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks. For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket:
them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Pagina 22

Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.
Maximum height of the dishes in upper basket lower basket With upper basket raised With upper basket lowered 20 cm 24 cm 31 cm 27 cm
To move to the higher position proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops. 2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the mechanism is engaged and the basket is stable.

Attention!

Never lift or lower the basket on one side only When the basket is in the higher position you will not be able to use the cup racks.
To lower the basket to the original position proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops. 2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and then allow the mechanism to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

Pagina 23

Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. We recommend the use of Finish detergents. Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution. Please observe the manufacturers dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

Fill with detergent

1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1). The lid springs open. 2. Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: 20 = approximately 20 g of detergent 30 = approximately 30 g of detergent
3. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (3). This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase. 4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

Pagina 24

Different kinds of detergent

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets from different manufactures dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power during short washing programmes. Therefore please use long washing programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Concentrated detergent

Modern detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet form. Using 50C washing programmes in conjunction with these concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these washing programmes are specially matched to the dirtdissolving properties of the enzymes in concentrated detergents. It is for this reason that using 50C washing programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents can achieve the same cleaning results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65C washing programmes.

Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents
These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt function. 1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. Follow the manufacturers instructions. NOTE: the refilling of the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser are no longer necessary. In this case the rinse aid indicator light will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on. 2. Select the lowest setting for water hardness. 3. Before the start of the washing programme put the "3 in 1" detergent in the detergent dispenser. NOTE: If the drying results are not satisfactory we recommend that you: 1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid. 2. Set the rinse aid dosage to position 2.
If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise that you:
Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again. Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting perform up to 3 normal washing programmes without loading any dishes. Adjust the water hardness setting according to the hardness of the water in your area. Adjust the rinse aid dosage.
NOTE: When using "4 in 1" detergents that integrate also anti-glass corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formula, please follow the same instruction as given for "3 in 1" detergents above.

In the last rinse the temparature will be held at over 65C for at least 10/11 minutes. 2. Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test Centres). This programme, developed for the use of detergents with enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced consumption of energy the same cleaning results that would otherwise be obtained only with the 65C programmes and conventional detergents. To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of washing and drying have been extended. 3. The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by the variations of the power supply.

Pagina 29

6. Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance. Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping 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. When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

Pagina 30

Maintenance and cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc.). Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend the use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner every 3 months or run a 65C wash programme without dishes using detergent. Regular use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner cleans inaccessible parts, eliminates unpleasant food odours and helps prevent the build-up of limescale.

Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk of suffocation. Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical appliances. Dont allow children to use the dishwasher unsupervised. Make sure that children and pets dont climb into the dishwasher. Could endanger life! Dishwasher detergents can cause chemical burns to the eyes, mouth and throat. Could endanger life! Comply with the safety instructions of the dishwasher detergent manufacturer. The water in the dishwasher is not for drinking. Risk of chemical burns.

General Safety

Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified/authorised service engineers. When the dishwasher is not being used, switch it off and shut off the water tap. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug. Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the open door and hurting themselves. Never sit or stand on the open door. If the dishwasher is located in a room where there may be a frost, remove the connection hose from the tap after each use of the dishwasher. 4

Adding dishwasher Salt

To decalcify the water softener, it must be filled up with dishwasher salt. Use only special salt suitable for domestic dishwashers. If you do not use 3 in1 detergent, fill up with dishwasher salt: Before using the dishwasher for the first time. When the control indicator for dishwasher salt is illuminated on the control panel. 1. Open the door and remove the lower basket. 2. Unscrew the lid on the salt dispenser by turning it anti-clockwise. 3. Only when using the dishwasher for the first time: Fill the salt dispenser with water. 4. Place the funnel (supplied) over the dispenser opening. Fill the dispenser with dishwasher salt; the capacity of the dispenser is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg, depending on the size of the grains. Do not overfill the dispenser. If water overflows when filling up with dishwasher salt, this is completely harmless. 5. Clean away any salt remnants from the dispenser opening. 6. Screw the lid back on in a clockwise direction. 7. Run a dishwashing cycle after filling the salt dispenser with dishwasher salt. This will wash away salt water and salt crystals that have been spilt. Depending on the size of the salt granules, it can take several hours for the salt to dissolve in the water and for the control indicator for dishwasher salt to go out.
Filling Up with Rinse Aid
Rinse aid causes the rinse water to flow easily from the crockery leaving gleaming dishes and glassware. If you do not use 3in1 detergent, fill up with rinse aid: Before using the dishwasher for the first time. When the control indicator for rinse aid is illuminated on the control panel. Use only special rinse aid for dishwashers. 1. Open the door. The rinse aid compartment is located on the inside of the dishwasher door. 2. Press the release button on the rinse aid compartment. 3. Open the cover.

4. Pour rinse aid in slowly right up to the broken max line; this corresponds to a volume of approx. 140 ml when full. 5. Press the lid shut until it clicks into place. 6. Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a cloth. Otherwise there will be too much foam when rinsing.
Setting the Amount of Rinse Aid Required
Only change the amount dispensed, if smears, milky spots (reduce the amount) or dried on water spots (increase the amount) can be seen on glasses and dishes. (See section If dishwashing results are not satisfactory.) The dosage can be set from 1-6. The dosage is pre-set to 4 in the factory. 1. Open the dishwasher door. 2. Press the release button on the rinse aid compartment. 3. Open the cover. 4. Set the dosage level. 5. Press the lid shut until it clicks into place. 6. If rinse aid has leaked out, wipe it away with a cloth.
Activating rinse aid inflow when 3in1 function is selected
If the 3in1 function is not selected, the rinse aid inflow is always activated. If the 3in1 function is selected due to the use of 3in1 detergent, the rinse aid inflow is deactivated. If the dishes then do not dry sufficiently, you should re-activate the rinse aid inflow (see also section Using 3in1 detergents). 1. Press the ON/OFF button. If the LED indicator of only one programme button is illuminated, this wash programme has been activated. The wash programme must be deselected: Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds. The LED indicators of all the programme buttons that can be selected will illuminate. 2. Press function buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously and hold them down. The LED indicators for function buttons 1 to 3 will flash. 3. Press function button 2. The LED indicator for function button 2 will flash. The multi-display will indicate the current setting:
Rinse aid inflow deactivated when 3in1 on (factory setting) Rinse aid inflow activated when 3in1 on
4. Pressing function button 2 activates and deactivates the rinse aid dispensing function. 5. Once the multi-display is indicating the required setting, press the ON/ OFF button. The setting is now saved.

In daily use

Load larger and heavily soiled dishes and pans in the lower basket. (Max. diameter for plates 29 cm).
To make it easier to load larger dishes, all rear plate rests in the lower basket can be folded down.
Cups, Glasses, Coffee Service
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.
The cup racks can be folded up out of the way for tall crockery items. Lay or hang wine and brandy glasses in the slots in the cup racks.
For glasses with long stems, fold the glass rack to the right, otherwise fold it away to the left.
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 serving dishes.
Adjusting the Height of the Upper Basket
Maximum height of dishes in the Upper basket with upper basket raised with upper basket lowered 22 cm 24 cm Lower basket 30 cm 29 cm
The height of the baskets can also be adjusted when they are loaded. Raising / Lowering the upper basket 1. Pull out the upper basket completely. 2. Holding the upper basket by the handle, raise it as far as it will go and then lower it vertically. The upper basket will latch into the lower or the upper position.

Adding Detergent

Detergents remove the dirt from dishes and cutlery. The detergent must be added before the cycle starts.
Only use detergent intended for domestic dishwashers. The detergent compartment is located on the inside of the door. 1. If the lid is closed: Press the release button. The lid will spring open. 2. Place the detergent in the detergent dispenser. The markings indicate the dosing levels for powder detergents: 20/30 corresponds to approx. 20/30 ml of detergent. Follow the manufacturers instructions with regard to dosing and storage. 3. Close the lid and press until it locks into place. In the case of very heavily soiled dishes, fill the adjoining compartment (1) with additional detergent. This detergent comes into use during the pre-wash cycle.

Concentrated detergents

Todays detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet or powder form. Using 50C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with these concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these dishwashing cycles are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in concentrated detergents. It is for this reason that using 50 C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with concentrated detergents can achieve the same cleaning results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65 C cycles.

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power during short cycles. Therefore please use dishwashing cycles with pre-wash when using detergent tablets.

Using 3in1 detergents

These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt function. When the 3in1 function is activated, the addition of special salt and rinse aid from the respective dispenser is prevented. If the salt and rinse aid dispensers are empty, this is not indicated. If you want to use 3in1 detergents, check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. (Follow the manufacturers instructions.) If you want to use 3in1 products 1. Press the ON/OFF button. 2. Press the 3 IN 1 button. The button indicator lights up: 3in1 function is selected. Before the start of the dishwashing cycle put 3in1 detergent in the detergent dispenser. As the rinse aid inflow is automatically switched off when the 3in1 function is activated, it may come about because of the different quality standards in the 3in1 detergent, that the dishes do not dry sufficiently. If this happens, proceed as follows (see section Adding rinse aid): Fill up the dispenser (if this is empty) with rinse aid. Set rinse aid dosage to 2 mechanically. Activate rinse aid inflow. If you do not want to use 3in1 products any more If you want to stop using 3in1 products, please do the following: Deactivate the 3in1 function. Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again. Switch the water softener to the highest setting and perform up to three normal cycles without loading any dishes. Then set the water softener to the water hardness in your area.

1) The consumption values were obtained under standardised conditions. They depend on how full the baskets for the dishes are. Variations are therefore possible in practice. 2) When using this cycle the degree of water clouding determines the amount of soiling on the dishes. The length of the cycle and water and energy consumption can vary greatly depending upon the load and how dirty the dishes are. Depending upon the soiling, the temperature of the water will be automatically adjusted to between 50C and 65C. 3) When using this cycle, only load the dishwasher half full. 4) During the final rinse, the temperature is increased to 68 for 10 minutes to sanitize e.g. babies bottles, plastic chopping boards or jam jars. 5) Test programme for Test Institutes 6) This cycle does not need any detergent.

Installation and connection instructions 1 Safety Information for the Installation
Only transport the dishwasher in an upright position, otherwise salt water may run out. Before using the dishwasher for the first time, check for any damage caused in transport. Do not under any circumstances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your supplier. Never use the dishwasher if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose are damaged; or if the control panel, work top or plinth area are damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible. Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket. Permanent connection: a permanent connection must only be installed by a trained electrician. Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate. Multi-way plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute a fire hazard through overheating. The dishwashers cable must only be replaced by a Service Force Engineer. A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a Service Force Engineer.

Installing the Dishwasher
The dishwasher must be installed on a firm floor and adjusted to ensure that it is stable and level in all directions. To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the appliance to that of surrounding units, extend the threaded feet using a screwdriver. The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must be laid so that they are able to move freely within the plinth area, and so that they are not kinked or crushed when the dishwasher is in position. The dishwasher must also be screwed tightly to the work surface or to the adjoining units. This is essential to ensure the dishwasher does not tip up.

Free-standing appliances

If the dishwasher is installed directly next to a cooker, a heat-insulating, non-flammable panel (laminated with aluminium foil on the side next to the cooker) must be fitted flush with the top edge of the work surface (depth 57.5 cm). If the appliance is built-in under a kitchen work surface, the worktop supplied with the dishwasher can be removed in the following way: 1. Unscrew the screws from the elbows at the rear (1). 2. Push the appliances worktop backwards about 1 cm (2).
3. Lift the worktop at the front (3) and remove it.
If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the work surface supplied with it must be re-mounted. The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.
Connecting the dishwasher
Connecting to the water supply
The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up to max. 60C. The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or instantaneous water heaters.

Permitted water pressure

Lowest permitted water pressure: 1 bar (=10 N/cm2 =100 kPa) Highest permitted water pressure: 10 bar (=100 N/cm2 =1 MPa) Consult your plumber if the water pressure is less than 1 bar. If the water pressure is greater than 10 bar, a pressure reduction valve must be used (available from your dealer).
Connecting the inlet hose
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it is being connected. Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000) on the water inlet hose to a tap with an external thread ( inch). The inlet hose is fitted with either a plastic or a metal nut: Only tighten the nut hand tight. Then do a visual check for water tightness. (Make sure that the tap is not dripping.) So that access to the tap in the kitchen is not restricted by the use of the dishwasher, we recommend installing an additional tap, or fitting a T-branch to the existing tap. If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, the following VDE-approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available from your local service centre.
