• Page 9: Dishwasher cycles overview includes different cycles available on the dishwasher. The running time varies depending on the selected cycle, water temperature, quantity of dishware, and level of dirt. Consumption values relate to normal conditions and water hardness of 16 - 20 °E. Heavy cycle is for washing pots, pans, and non-fragile dishware with stubborn food remnants. Auto cycle is sensor-controlled and optimized based on the soiling of the rinse water. Normal cycle is for cleaning mixed dishware and silverware with lightly dried-on food remnants. Speed 60® cycle is time-optimized for cleaning mixed dishware and silverware. Energy Guide label is based on the Normal soil sensing cycle without rinse aid. Favorite function allows saving a combination of a cycle and an option via the Home Connect app. The unit was tested without any rinse aid and with a single dose of detergent in the dispenser.
• Page 10: You can use the Home Connect app to download additional cycles and options and save them. Arrange cups, glasses, and small tableware items in the top rack. Here is an overview of the different options available on your dishwasher. 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. You can adjust the height of the upper rack to make room for larger items. To wash large items in the racks, adjust the shelf height of the upper rack. Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements for soil removal and sanitation efficacy. 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.
• Page 11: Features 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. Arrange pans and plates in the lower rack. Use the cup shelf and the space underneath for small cups and glasses or for large items of silverware. If you do not need the cup shelf, you can fold it down.
• Page 12: Before using for the first time, set the racks at the right height. The appliance height is 34 with the silverware basket. For initial use, configure the settings after the first use or a factory reset.

Tabs are perfect for all cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out. 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.
• Page 14: Dishware Close the lid of the detergent dispenser. Information on detergent Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use. 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 or combination detergent in use. Any rinse aid component of a combination detergent has limited effectiveness. To prevent sticking, only touch detergents in a water-soluble pouch with dry hands. The detergent dispenser will open automatically at the optimum time during the cycle. Only wash dishware that is suitable for dishwashers. Only put glasses and china in the dishwasher if they are labeled dishwasher-safe.
• Page 15: 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. Highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic cleaning solutions are not safe to use in the dishwasher. Remove large remnants of food from dishware before loading. Do not pre-rinse dishware under running water to save resources. Arrange heavily soiled dishware in the lower rack for better cleaning results. Arrange silverware with the points and sharp edges facing down to avoid injury. Position containers with openings facing down to prevent water collection. Do not block the spray arms to ensure they can turn freely. Avoid loading the dishwasher with paper products or anything other than dishwasher safe dishware.
