• Page 9: Dishwasher cycles overview includes different cycles available on the dishwasher. The running time may vary depending on the cycle selected, water temperature, quantity of dishware, and level of dirt. 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, effective for removing stubborn burned or dried-on food remnants. Auto cycle is sensor-controlled and optimized based on the soiling of the rinse water, suitable for mixed dishware and silverware. Normal cycle is designed for cleaning mixed dishware and silverware, effective for removing common household food remnants. Speed 60® cycle is time-optimized for cleaning mixed dishware and silverware, effective for lightly dried-on food remnants. Energy Guide label is based on the Normal soil sensing cycle. The unit was tested without any rinse aid in the dispenser and with a single dose of detergent. Dish loads for energy certification tests should have the rack position set appropriately.
• Page 10: Highest position is recommended for daily use to wash a full load of normally soiled dishes. Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements for soil removal and sanitation efficacy. There is no intention to imply that all cycles on a certified machine have passed the sanitization performance test. You can find an overview of the possible features of your appliance and how to use them here. These features depend on your appliance model. Arrange cups, glasses, and small tableware items in the top rack. With the favorite function, you can save a combination of a cycle and an option via the Home Connect app. You can adjust the height of the upper rack to make room for larger items. For a better drying result, the final rinse temperature is increased and the drying phase extended. To ensure a higher hygiene status for the appliance and dishware, the temperature is increased and maintained for an extra-long period.
• Page 11: Features Arrange pans and plates in the lower rack. Raise or lower the rack evenly to the right level. Arrange the silverware in the silverware basket, ensuring that the items are not nestled together and with the sharp points down. The sharp points and edges of knives and other sharp utensils can cause serious injury. Load knives and other sharp utensils with edges down. Do not allow children to handle or play near knives and sharp utensils. Check that the rack is level on both sides. Release the levers. The rack clicks into position. Slide the rack in.
• Page 12: Before using for the first time, you need to configure the settings. For optimum drying results, use rinse aid intended for household dishwashers. If the rinse aid refill indicator lights up, fill the dispenser with rinse aid. Connect your appliance to a mobile device to conveniently change all settings using the Home Connect® app. Press the catch on the lid of the dispenser for rinse aid and lift to add rinse aid. Switch on the appliance and set the amount of rinse aid. Add detergent and start the program with the highest cleaning temperature without dishware. To remove any marks from water or other residues, operate the appliance without dishware before using it for the first time. You can change basic settings at any time. Set the racks at the right height for optimal use.
• Page 13: Add rinse aid up to the max mark. Press repeatedly until the right amount of rinse aid has been set. 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. To store the setting, press the button for 3 seconds. 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. Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline formulation with enzymes.
• Page 14: 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. Adjust the rinse aid and the water softening system settings in accordance with the detergent in use.
• Page 15: Dishware Only wash dishware that is suitable for dishwashers. Avoid dishwasher damage by not loading with paper products, plastic bags, or anything other than dishwasher-safe dishware. Decorated glassware and parts made of aluminum or silver may fade or discolor with dishwashing. Only put glasses and china in the dishwasher if they are labeled dishwasher-safe. To save energy and water, load the machine with the specified number of place settings. For better washing and drying results, position items with curves or recesses at an angle. Remove large remnants of food from dishware before loading. Put heavily soiled dishware in the lower rack for better cleaning. Arrange silverware with points and sharp edges facing down to avoid injury. After the cycle has ended, take glassware and silverware out of the appliance without delay.
• Page 16: Dishware 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. 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. Additional loading patterns for 10 place settings. Recommended loading patterns for 12 place settings.

Position dishware at an angle where possible. Use rinse aid to improve drying performance. Activate Extra Dry/intensive drying to improve drying performance. Wait until the program ends before removing dishware. Use a name-brand rinse aid for better drying performance. Silverware not arranged properly can lead to droplets forming.
• Page 26: Troubleshooting Food remnants on dishware may be caused by dishware being placed too close together or the rack being overfilled. Arrange dishware with sufficient space in between to ensure spray jets reach the surfaces. Avoid points of contact to allow for proper spray arm rotation. Spray arm rotation may be blocked if dishware obstructs it. Clean the spray arms if the nozzles are blocked. Dirty filters can also cause issues; clean the filters regularly. Filters must be inserted correctly and engaged properly. Selecting a wash cycle that is too light may not effectively clean stubborn remnants. Do not pre-rinse dishware too intensively to ensure proper cycle selection. Detergent residue can occur if the dispenser lid is blocked by dishware.
• Page 27: Troubleshooting Issue Cause and troubleshooting Wipeable or water-soluble coatings may have detergent residue that cannot generally be removed with chemicals. Change your detergent and scrub the appliance by hand. Stubborn white coatings on dishware may also be due to detergent residue. Increase the amount of detergent used or select a more intensive wash program. Tea residue or lipstick marks on dishware may occur if the dishwashing temperature is too low. Use a suitable detergent and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the amount to be used. Colored coatings inside the appliance may be due to substances contained in vegetables or tap water. Plastic parts inside the appliance may become discolored over time but this will not impair functioning. Removable streaks on glasses and silverware may indicate that the amount of rinse aid is set too high or that no rinse aid has been added.
• Page 28: Troubleshooting There are removable streaks on glasses, glassware with a metallic appearance, and silverware. Items of dishware are blocking the dispenser lid. Do not place dishware or fragrance dispensers in the tab collecting tray. Only remove large remnants of food and do not pre-rinse dishware. Irreversible clouding of glassware may occur if glasses are not dishwasher-proof. Use dishwasher-proof glasses. Avoid a lengthy steam phase after the wash cycle ends. Check that the spray arms are not blocked and can rotate freely. Hand soap in the rinse aid dispenser can cause excessive foam. Add rinse aid to the dispenser if it has been spilled.
