• Page 4: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach-based products to clean your dishwasher. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. Always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher. It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the procedure to shut off the incoming water supply and the procedure to shut off the incoming power supply. The blow opening of the Zeolith container becomes hot and can cause burns. Do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. When loading items to be washed, locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal. This product may contain a chemical known to the State of California, which can cause cancer or reproductive harm.
• Page 5: Preventing material damage To avoid impairing Zeolith drying performance, do not position dishware parts directly in front of the intake opening or the blow opening of the Zeolith container. Harsh chemicals such as bleach-based products can damage your dishwasher. Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach-based products to clean your dishwasher. The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device which measures the turbidity of the washing water. You can save water with the AquaSensor. The operation of the AquaSensor depends on the selected cycle. Escaping water vapor can damage cabinetry. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. The sensors adjust the cycle sequence and strength in the Auto cycles depending on the level and type of soiling. Zeolith drying lets you save energy.
• Page 6: Familiarizing yourself with your appliance Detergent dispenser: Add detergent to the detergent dispenser. Lower rack: The lower spray arm washes the dishware in the lower rack. If the dishware has not been washed properly, clean the spray arms.
• Page 7: Familiarizing yourself with your appliance Detergent tabs automatically drop out of the detergent dispenser into the tab collecting tray during the wash cycle. The upper spray arm washes the dishware in the upper rack. If the dishware has not been washed properly, clean the spray arms. Rinse aid is added to the dispenser for rinse aid. You can use the control panel to configure all functions of your appliance and to obtain information about the operating status. Pressing the button for approximately 3 seconds allows you to open the basic settings. The ON/OFF button is used for switching on and off the appliance. Terminating the wash cycle is detailed on page 21. The intake opening is required for Zeolith drying. The blow opening is also required for Zeolith drying.
• Page 8: Familiarizing yourself with your appliance The display shows information about the remaining run time or basic settings. You can change the basic settings via the display and the setting buttons. Starting the wash cycle Home Connect Display for water supply Rinse aid refill indicator Rinse aid system
• Page 9: Dishwasher cycles overview includes different cycles available on the dishwasher. The running time may vary 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, suitable for mixed dishware and silverware. Normal cycle is designed for cleaning mixed dishware and silverware, removing common household food remnants lightly dried-on. Speed 60® cycle is the most economical cycle for cleaning mixed dishware and silverware. Time-optimized cycle is for removing common household food remnants lightly dried-on. The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal soil sensing cycle. The unit was tested without rinse aid and with a single dose of detergent in the dispenser.
• Page 10: Here is an overview of the different options available on your dishwasher. Crystal Dry technology thoroughly dries dishes and plastics such as baby bottles and food storage containers. To ensure a higher hygiene status for the appliance and dishware, the temperature is increased and maintained for an extra-long period. Sanitize option is especially suitable for cleaning chopping boards or baby bottles. Continuous use of the sanitize option improves the hygiene status. The lower spray arm provides intensive cleaning for dishware in the front of the lower rack. With the Favorite function, you can save a combination of a cycle and an option. You can save the selected cycle and option combination via the Home Connect app or on the appliance. Using the Home Connect app, customize the four zones and the cleaning intensity level. The program combination is saved when the Favorite button flashes.
• Page 11: Features Maximum 3 light wash zones recommended. The settings made for this function remain saved until you redefine the zones in the bottom basket via the Home Connect® app. If you do not specify any zone via the Home Connect® app, all 4 zones in the lower rack will then be activated with the lower spray arm for efficient and intensive cleaning. Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements for soil removal and sanitation efficacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, 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. Check that the rack is level on both sides. You can adjust the height of the upper rack to make room for larger items.
• Page 12: Features Lower rack Arrange pans and plates in the lower rack. Silverware drawer Arrange silverware in the silverware drawer. Silverware basket Arrange the silverware in the silverware basket, ensuring that the items are not nestled together and with the sharp points down. Reorganizing the silverware drawer Fold down the side shelves and front tines to provide more space for longer or wider cutlery items. WARNING 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.
• Page 13: Features To fold down the front tines, push the lever forward. Use the cup shelf and the space underneath for small cups and glasses or for large items of silverware. If you want to return the cutlery tray to its original position, fold the side shelf upward until it clicks into position. If you do not need the cup shelf, you can fold it down. Use the flip tines to position dishware securely, e.g. plates. You can fold the tines down to arrange pans, bowls and glasses better. If you do not need the tines, fold them down.
• Page 14: Before using for the first time To use the tines again, fold them back up. Push the lever forward and fold down the tines. The tines click into position. Set the racks at the right height. If you remove the 3rd rack, you can place large items of dishware in the lower rack. To remove any marks from water or other residues, operate the appliance without dishware before using it for the first time. Before the first use, or after a factory reset, you will need to configure the settings. For optimum drying results, use rinse aid. Only use rinse aid intended for household dishwashers. Connect your appliance to a mobile device to conveniently change all settings using the Home Connect® app.
• Page 15: Press the catch on the lid of the dispenser for rinse aid and lift. If you choose not to use rinse aid, you can turn the rinse aid system off. Rinse aid within a combination detergent has limited effectiveness. 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. If rinse aid spills out, remove it from the tub. 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.
• Page 16: Add the detergent to the dry detergent dispenser. Do not use the Delay Start option. The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling. 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. If you are using tablets, one is enough. Insert the tablets in a horizontal position. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and quantities for dosage in the detergent dispenser. 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. This dishwasher provides the optimum cleaning performance without the use of a prewash detergent.
• Page 17: Dishware Arrange dishware correctly to optimize the dishwashing result and prevent damage to both dishware and the appliance. Only wash dishware that is suitable for dishwashers. Avoid loading the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing materials, or anything other than normal, dishwasher-safe dishware and kitchenware. Decorated glassware and parts made of aluminum or silver may fade or discolor with dishwashing. For better washing and drying results, position items with curves or recesses at an angle so water can run off. Only put dishes in the dishwasher if they are labeled dishwasher-safe. Remove large remnants of food from dishware. Do not pre-rinse dishware under running water to save resources. Arrange silverware with the points and sharp edges facing down to avoid injury. Position containers with the openings facing down so no water can collect in them.
• Page 18: Dishware 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. Recommended loading patterns. Additional loading patterns for 10 place settings.
• Page 19: Basic operation involves switching on the appliance with a short touch. The last selected cycle and option will be set by default. The appliance will automatically switch off after 10 minutes of inactivity. To set a wash cycle, select a suitable program by pressing the right cycle button. The cycle button will flash, and the remaining run time will be displayed. Options can be set to complete the chosen wash program, depending on the selected program. The start of the wash cycle can be delayed using the Home Connect® app. To start the wash cycle, press the designated button. The cycle ends when the display shows 00h:00m. The dishwasher has a built-in feature to prevent unintentional operation, especially by children. If the door is not closed within 4 seconds after starting, the operation will pause. You can only change a cycle in progress if you cancel it first. The appliance will switch off automatically 10 minutes after the wash cycle ends. Unintentional operation is activated by specific actions, and this feature cannot be deactivated.
