Caring for the environment  
Energy saving washing  
This dishwasher is exceptionally  
economical in the use of water and  
electricity. For best results follow these  
tips:  
^ For lowest energy consumption you  
may connect the dishwasher to a  
cold water source.  
^ For fastest possible wash times, with  
slightly higher energy consumption,  
connect the dishwasher to a hot  
water source.  
^ Make full use of the baskets without  
overloading for the most economical  
washing.  
^ Use the correct amount of detergent  
and rinse aid. Detergent dosage is  
dependent upon the amount of  
soiling and type of dishware being  
washed. See the "Program Guide" for  
more information.  
^ When using powder or gel detergent,  
reduce the amount to 2/3 of the  
normal amount when washing a small  
load.  
^ Choose a program that best suits the  
degree of soiling and the type of  
dishes being washed.

Water softener  
In areas where the water hardness  
fluctuates (e.g. 37-50 °d [39-52 gr/gal])  
always program the machine to the  
higher value (in this example 50 °d  
[52 gr/gal]).  
To achieve good cleaning results, the  
dishwasher needs soft water (water that  
is low in minerals). Hard water results in  
calcium deposits on dishware and in  
the dishwasher.

– The water softener requires  
dishwasher salt.  
The water hardness was programmed  
at 1-4 °d (1-4 gr/gal) by factory default.  
If using "Tab" products which include  
salt, you should still add salt to the  
machine to achieve optimal cleaning  
results.  
– The dishwasher must be correctly  
programmed to match the hardness  
of your water.  
– Your local water authority will be able

Every dishwasher is tested before  
leaving the factory. Any water  
remaining in the machine is from the  
final factory test and does not  
indicate that the machine has been  
used.  
Important: The salt container must  
be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water  
before adding salt for the first time  
so the salt can dissolve  
properly. Water does not have to be  
added with subsequent refills.

specially formulated for  
dishwashers. Other salts may  
contain insoluble additives which  
can impair the water softener.  
^ Place the provided funnel over the  
salt container and carefully fill it with  
salt. The salt container holds approx.  
4.4 lbs (2 kg) of salt, depending on  
the type of salt.

permanent discoloration and  
damage to the dishwasher.  
^ Food residue and spilled liquids  
should be cleaned from the sides of  
the dishwasher door. These are  
outside of the wash cabinet and are  
not cleaned by water from the spray  
arms.

the baskets.  
^ Load dishes so that water can reach  
all surfaces. Do not place dishes or  
cutlery inside other pieces.  
^ Make sure that all items are securely  
positioned.  
^ Hollow items such as cups and  
glasses should be placed upside  
down in the baskets.  
^ To ensure good water coverage, tall,  
narrow and hollow items, i.e. vases  
or champagne glasses, should be  
placed in the center of the basket  
rather than in the corners.  
^ Concave based items such as mugs  
or bowls, should be placed at an

Items not recommended for  
dishwashing  
Glassware:  
– There are no standard guidelines for  
washing glassware, when in doubt  
wash by hand.  
– Cutlery with wooden handles  
– Wooden cutting boards  
– When purchasing new dishes,  
glasses and cutlery, make sure they  
are dishwasher safe. Only wash  
items marked "dishwasher safe" in  
the dishwasher.  
– Glued items such as old knives with  
handles glued together around the  
shank of the blade  
– Handmade craft items, antique,  
metal trimmed or decorative  
glassware  
– If fine glassware is washed in the  
dishwasher select the "China &  
Crystal" program*. This will reduce  
the risk of clouding.  
– Plastic items that are not heat  
resistant  
– Copper, brass, tin or aluminum  
Silver and aluminum:  
– Dishes with color painted over the  
glaze. These dishes may fade over  
time  
– Silver or aluminum items may tarnish.  
– Silverware previously cleaned with a  
silver polish may be damp or spotted  
at the end of a program where water  
has adhered to the polish. This can  
be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth.  
Silver that has been cleaned in an  
immersion dip is usually dry at the  
end of a program, but may tarnish.  
– Fine glassware and crystal items  
should only be washed using the  
"China & Crystal" program*.  
Otherwise clouding or etching may  
occur after frequent washing.  
– Cast iron pots and pans  
– If left to dry, foods containing sulfur  
can discolor silver. These include  
egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise,  
mustard, fish and marinades.  
* depending on model  
– Silverware may tarnish or pit if  
washed next to stainless steel.  
Leave space between these metals.  
If unsure whether your china and  
crystal are dishwasher safe, please  
check with the manufacturer. The  
China & Crystal program, although  
extremely gentle and thorough can  
cause the china and crystal to "wear"  
if they are not dishwasher safe.  
– Clean aluminum items, e.g. grease  
filters, with domestic dishwasher  
detergent only.

Cleaning and Care  
Triple filter system  
The triple filter system in the base of the  
wash cabinet prevents food from being  
redeposited on dishes. It also protects  
the circulation pump from damage  
caused by foreign objects (e.g. broken  
glass, bones). During normal use, the  
filter system is self-cleaning.  
,The machine must not be used  
without all the filters in place!  
^ Check and clean the filter system  
periodically for any trapped or  
foreign objects.
