clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED
Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause a fault function of the
appliance.
If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic dishes have more difficulty
drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.
Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with
rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.
Adding detergent - Use only detergent specifically for dishwashers in accordance with the supplier’s recommendations

Arrange crockery so that water does not collect in cavities, ensuring that the spray arms turn freely. Only use dishwasher-proof crockery and dishes. Do not use the dishwasher for washing wooden
items, aluminium, tin, silver cutlery or decorated crockery (unglazed). In the baskets, dishes (e.g. plates, bowls, pots) must be placed in a correct way to let water flow down!

arranged facing downwards in the rack.
If necessary, use more detergent, observing the manufacturer’s indications as regards dosage. Always store
detergent in a dry place and do not store it for excessively long periods of time.
For heavily soiled crockery, select a wash program with a higher temperature (see table of programs -
page 1).
If you select the “Half load/Multizone” option (if available), remember to load only the upper rack or only
the lower rack to increase washing power and thus obtain optimum wash results.
In the event of frequent use of the Eco 50°C program (if available), from time to time select the Intensive
70°C program (if available).

What to do if...
Crockery and cutlery...
...salt indicator lit
...have deposits: regeneration salt residue
Possible causes...
Use tablets for soft water.
Solutions...
-
-
-
-
Set “Tablet” option; if this option is not available, it is normal for the salt indicator to light up.
Water too hard.
In areas with very hard water, more regeneration salt needs to be added (see page 2, “How to set water
hardness”).
-
-
-
-
Salt reservoir cap open.
Not enough rinse aid.
-
-
-
-
Close the salt reservoir cap properly.
If you use a combined action detergent, try adding more rinse aid.
Synthetic materials do not dry well; if wet at end of cycle, wipe dry.
...are not dry
Plastic containers dry badly.
Clean dishes left in dishwasher for a long time after end
of cycle (e.g. when using “Delayed start” option).
In this situation, the presence of drops of water on dishes and on the sides of the dishwasher is normal.
Try releasing the door 5 minutes before removing the dishes.
-
-
-
Incorrect arrangement of the concave items in the rack. - Arrange crockery so that water does not collect in cavities.
Incorrect dosage the rinse aid.
Rapid program selected.
-
-
Increase the dosage of rinse aid (see page 3, “Adding rinse aid”).
The Rapid program 40°C / 45°C is intended for quickly washing lightly soiled dishes. If used for a full load of
medium/heavy soiled dishes, the dishes may not dry completely. If so, select a standard-length program. For best
results, open the door after the end of the program and wait 15 minutes before unloading the dishwasher.
...have discoloured plastic parts
-
Tomato/Carrot juice.
-
Tomato sauce, for example, can lead to discolouring of plastic parts. Powder detergent is recommended as
it allows slightly higher doses to be used for improved whitening. Programs with higher wash temperatures
should be used.
...opaque glasses, etc.
-
-
Dishes unsuitable for washing in dishwashers (porcelain),
Usage of incorrect programs for glasses.
-
-
Only use dishwasher-proof crockery and dishes.
...removable deposits on glasses
Dishes should be put together, to avoid touching each other. Do not put glassware together in baskets.
Use suitable program for glass.
...glasses not sparkling
-
-
Not conform of glasses to washing in dishwashers
(porcelain).
-
Some kinds of glass cannot be washed in the dishwasher.
...permanent deposits on glasses
Rainbow effect.
-
-
-
-
This phenomenon is irreversible. We recommend in future:
Change the control of system of dosage of softener.
Be careful – follow recommended detergent dosage.
For combined action tablets see detergent producer’s recommendations.
...tea cups darken and dirt does not
disappear after washing in dishwasher
-
-
-
Not known.
-
-
This phenomenon is inevitable. Theine alters colours permanently.
...rust marks
...other marks
...streaks
Pre-wash program not used.
Rinse aid dosage too low.
Salty or acidic food residues can cause rust marks even on stainless steel cutlery. To avoid this, always use
the pre-wash program if the dishes are to be washed later.
-
-
In the presence of marks, increase the rinse aid dosage (see page 3, “Adding rinse aid”).
If you use a combined action detergent, possibly add more rinse aid.
-
-
Rinse aid dosage too high.
-
-
In the presence of streaks, reduce the rinse aid dosage (see page 3, “Adding rinse aid”).
If you use a combined action detergent which includes rinse aid, do not add any additional rinse aid.
...suds
Unsuitable dosage of detergent/rinse aid.
-
Only use the amount of detergent/rinse aid required, since excessive amounts can lead to excess suds.

After unpacking, make sure that the dishwasher is undamaged and that the door closes correctly. If in doubt,
contact a qualified technician or your local retailer.
3. Before using the dishwasher for the first time
7. Resistance to frost
If the appliance is placed in surroundings exposed to the risk of frost, it must be drained completely. Turn off
the water tap, remove the inlet and outlet hoses, and let all the water drain away. Make sure there is at least
1 kg of dissolved regeneration salt in the salt reservoir, to protect the appliance from temperatures of up to
-20°C. When the program resumes, an error message may be indicated (see page 6).
CANCEL/Off indicator blinks 6 times - the appliance must remain at an ambient temperature of min. 5°C for
at least 24 hours.
-
-
The appliance is designed to operate at ambient temperatures of between 5°C and 45°C.
This dishwasher has been tested by the manufacturer to ensure it functions correctly. Such testing may
leave slight drips/water marks which will disappear with the first wash.
4. Energy and water savings
After eliminating these faults, RESET the appliance (see chapter “What to do if...”).
8. Disposal
-
-
-
Do not rinse crockery under running water.
Always fully load the dishwasher before running it or select the “Half load/Multizone” option (if available).
If ecological energy sources are available such as solar panel heating, heat pumps or centralised heating
systems, the appliance may be connected to the hot water mains up to a maximum temperature of 60°C.
Make sure the water inlet hose is of the correct type (“70°C Max” or “90°C Max”).
-
The appliance is manufactured using recyclable materials. If you decide to scrap the dishwasher, it must be
disposed of in compliance with local waste disposal regulations. Make it unusable by cutting off the power
