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 programmes. In the case of shorter programmes, 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 suppliers recommendations

What to do if...  
Crockery and cutlery...  
...salt indicator lit  
...have deposits: regeneration salt residue  
Possible causes...  
Use tablets for soft water.  
Solutions...  
-
-
-
-
Set “Detergent type” option; if this option is not available, it is normal for the salt indicator to light up.  
In areas with very hard water, more regeneration salt needs to be added (see page 2 “How to set water  
hardness”).  
Water too hard.  
-
-
-
-
Salt reservoir cap open.  
Not enough rinse aid.  
-
-
-
-

...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.  
-
-
Increase the dosage of rinse aid - see page 3, Adding rinse aid”.  
The rapid programme 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 programme. For best  
results, open the door after the end of the programme and wait 15 minutes before unloading the dishwasher.  
-
Rapid programme selected.  
...have discoloured plastic parts  
-
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. Programmes with higher wash  
temperatures should be used.

Disconnect the mains plug  
What to do if...  
If, after carrying out the above checks, the fault persists, disconnect the mains plug and turn off the water tap.  
Contact the After-sales Service (see warranty).  
Before contacting our After-Sales Service, take note of the following:  
- the description of the fault,  
- the appliance type and model,  
- the service code (the number indicated on the adhesive rating plate) inside the door on the right-hand side:  
Precautions and general recommendations  
1. Packing  
-
-
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, disconnect the mains plug and turn off the water tap; also in  
the event of any malfunction.  
Repairs and technical modifications must be carried out exclusively by a qualified technician.  
The packaging materials are 100% recyclable and marked with the recycling symbol  
.
2. Removing the packaging and inspecting the contents  
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.  
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 programme resumes, an error message may be displayed. “F1”/START indicator flashes  
once: pour half a litre of warm water into the bottom of the dishwasher. “F6”/START indicator flashes 6  
times: the appliance must remain at an ambient temperature of min. 5°C for at least 24 hours. After  
eliminating these faults, RESET the appliance (see chapter “What to do if...”).  
3. Before using the dishwasher for the first time  
-
-
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  
-
-
-
Do not rinse crockery under running water.  
8. Disposal  
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  
cord. To prevent situations of potential danger to children (e.g. danger of suffocation), break the lock of the  
door so that it can no longer be closed.  
5. Child safety  
-
