• Page 9: Dishwasher cycles overview includes different cycles available on the dishwasher. Running time varies depending on the selected cycle, water temperature, quantity of dishware, level of dirt, and options selected. Consumption values relate to normal conditions and a water hardness of 16 - 20 °E. Heavy cycle is for washing pots, pans, non-fragile dishware, and silverware, removing stubborn burned or dried-on food remnants. Auto cycle is sensor-controlled and optimized based on the soiling of the rinse water for mixed dishware and silverware. Normal cycle is for cleaning mixed dishware and silverware, removing common household food remnants lightly dried-on. Speed 60® cycle is the most economical for cleaning mixed dishware and silverware. Favorite cycle is time-optimized for cleaning common household food remnants lightly dried-on. Energy Guide label is based on the Normal soil sensing cycle. Testing was conducted without rinse aid and with a single dose of detergent in the dispenser.
• Page 10: Options for washing dishes include a recommended setting for daily use and the ability to access additional cycles through the Home Connect app. To save a favorite cycle and option, open the appliance door, press the appropriate buttons, and hold the Favorite button for three seconds. Resetting the cycle can be done using the Home Connect app or by restoring factory settings. An overview of different options available on the dishwasher is provided. The Extra Dry option improves drying results by increasing rinse temperature and extending the drying phase. The Sanitize option raises temperature and cycle length for effective sanitation, ideal for cleaning items like chopping boards and baby bottles. Only sanitizing cycles are designed to meet soil removal and sanitation efficacy requirements. A summary of possible features of the appliance and their usage is included. The Favorite function allows saving a combination of a cycle and an option, depending on the appliance model. The selected cycle and option combination can also be saved via the Home Connect app.
• Page 11: Before using for the first time, you will need to configure the settings. Arrange cups, glasses, and small tableware items in the top rack. Arrange pans and plates in the lower rack. Connect your appliance to a mobile device for convenient settings changes using the Home Connect® app. Add rinse aid before the first use. Switch on the appliance. Set the amount of rinse aid. Add detergent. Start the program with the highest cleaning temperature without dishware. For optimum drying results, use rinse aid.
• Page 12: Detergent Press the catch on the lid of the dispenser for rinse aid. The factory setting is level 2. A low setting adds less rinse aid during the wash cycle and reduces streaking on dishware. A higher setting adds more rinse aid during the wash cycle, reduces water spots, and improves the drying result. If rinse aid spills out, remove it from the tub. Spilled rinse aid can cause excessive frothing during the wash cycle. The rinse aid system is switched off and the rinse aid refill indicator is deactivated. If there are streaks or water spots on dishware, change the amount of rinse aid. Only use detergents that are made for dishwashers, either basic or combination detergents. For the best washing and drying results, use a separate detergent, then add rinse aid separately.
• Page 13: Detergent Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each detergent. Use tablets with enhanced drying results. To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking latch. Add the detergent to the dry detergent dispenser. Powder detergent is recommended for shorter cycles. Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for shorter cycles without a pre-rinse. Do not use a detergent which is not designated for dishwasher use or contains chlorine. Liquid hand soap can cause increased frothing and damage the appliance. Detergents marked as ecological generally contain lower levels of active agents or none at all. Adjust the rinse aid and the water softening system settings in accordance with the detergent in use.
• Page 14: Dishware Recommendation: Select a cycle with lower temperatures if the water temperature of the cycle is too high. This dishwasher provides optimum cleaning performance without the use of a prewash detergent. After the cycle has ended, take glassware and silverware out of the appliance without delay. Only wash dishware that is suitable for dishwashers. Avoid dishwasher damage by not loading it with paper products, plastic bags, or anything other than dishwasher-safe dishware. Only put glasses and china in the dishwasher if they are labeled dishwasher-safe. Using the appliance allows you to save energy and water compared to doing dishes by hand. For better washing and drying results, position items with curves or recesses at an angle so water can run off. Use a detergent labeled as gentle to dishes to avoid damage. Remove large remnants of food from dishware and do not pre-rinse under running water.
• Page 15: Dishware To avoid damage to dishware, arrange it so it is stable and cannot tip over. Loading patterns To avoid injury, arrange silverware with the points and sharp edges facing down. Position containers with the openings facing down so no water can collect in them. Do not block the spray arms - make sure that they can turn freely. Do not place small parts in the collecting tray and do not block it with dishware so as not to obstruct the lid of the detergent dispenser. Removing dishware Dishes can be very hot immediately after the cycle ends. Open the door slightly and allow dishes to cool for a few minutes before unloading. To prevent water dripping onto dishware, unload it starting at the bottom and working up. Check the washing tank and accessories for soiling and clean if necessary.
• Page 16: Basic operation Your dishwasher has a built-in feature to help prevent unintentional operation, e.g. by children. After starting the appliance, the door has to be closed within 4 seconds, otherwise the operation will be paused. For top button controls: Press and close the door. For front button controls: Close the door and press the start button. The wash cycle will resume. This feature cannot be deactivated. Touch the control with a short 1 second touch to switch on the appliance. The cycle last selected and the option last selected will be set by default. To adjust the wash cycle to the soiling level of the dishware, select a suitable program. You can delay the start of the wash cycle via the Home Connect® app.
• Page 17: Basic operation Starting the wash cycle Switching off the appliance The wash cycle has ended when no controls are lit. To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided. If you want to add more dishware while the appliance is running, do not use the collecting tray as a handle for the upper rack. You can only change a cycle in progress if you can cancel it first. To save energy, the appliance switches off automatically 10 minutes after the end of the wash cycle. The button lock prevents the appliance from being operated accidentally or incorrectly while running. To end a cycle early or to switch from one that has already started, you will need to cancel it first.

Rinse aid used has a limited drying performance. Use a name-brand rinse aid. Silverware is not dry. Silverware not arranged properly in the silverware basket or silverware drawer. Appliance interior still wet after wash cycle. Not an error. Condensation drying creates water droplets in the tub.
• Page 25: Troubleshooting Food remnants on dishware may occur if dishware is placed too close together or the rack is overfilled. Arrange dishware with sufficient space in between to ensure spray jets reach all surfaces. The spray arm rotation may be blocked by improperly arranged dishware. Clean the spray arms if the nozzles are blocked. Dirty filters can also cause issues; they should be cleaned regularly. Filters must be inserted correctly and engaged properly. If the selected wash cycle is too light, choose a more intensive wash program. Avoid pre-rinsing dishware too intensively to ensure proper cycle selection. Tall narrow containers should not be positioned at extreme angles or in corner areas. To prevent detergent residue, ensure the dispenser lid is not blocked by dishware.
• Page 26: Troubleshooting Issue Wipeable or water-soluble coatings: There is detergent residue that cannot generally be removed with chemicals. Change your detergent and scrub the appliance by hand. Stubborn white coatings on dishware: There is detergent residue that cannot generally be removed with chemicals. Increase the amount of detergent used or change detergent. Selected wash cycle is too light: Select a more intensive wash program. Tea residue or lipstick marks on dishware: Dishwashing temperature is too low. Select a program with a higher dishwashing temperature. Colored coatings inside the appliance: The formation of films is due to substances contained in vegetables or tap water. Clean the appliance; coatings are harmless to health. Plastic parts inside the appliance may become discolored over the life of the dishwasher. Discoloration will not impair the functioning of the appliance. Removable streaks on glasses and silverware: Amount of rinse aid to be dispensed is set too high. Set the rinse aid system to a lower setting. There is detergent residue in the final rinse: Lid of detergent dispenser is blocked by dishware. Arrange dishware in the upper rack so the tab collecting tray is not obstructed.
