Use the Eco Wash programme for energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. The electric childproof lock makes it more difficult to open the appliance door. Activate the electric childproof lock and close the appliance door to prevent risk of suffocation. Zeolith drying automatically helps to save energy. The appliance features a Zeolith container that allows for energy savings. Zeolite is a mineral that can store moisture and heat energy and then release them again. The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled. Sort the individual components of packaging by type and dispose of them separately.
• Page 12: Installation and connection To avoid impairing Zeolith drying performance, do not position tableware parts directly in front of the intake opening or the blow opening of the Zeolith container. The aqua sensor is an optical measuring device that measures the turbidity of the washing water. You can save water with the aqua sensor, which adjusts the rinsing water usage based on the soiling level. If the soiling level is high, the rinsing water is drained off and replaced with fresh water. In the automatic programmes, the temperature and running time are adjusted to the level of soiling. The sensors adjust the programme sequence and strength in the automatic programmes depending on the level and type of soiling. After unpacking all parts, check for any damage in transit and completeness of the delivery. The appliance has been tested at the factory to check it is in working order.
• Page 13: Installation and connection The delivery consists of the following: - Dishwasher - Operating instructions - Installation instructions - Further information documents - Installation material Connect your appliance to drainage connection so dirty water is discharged via the wash cycle. You can position your built-under or integrable appliance in a fitted kitchen between wooden and plastic walls. If you are replacing the appliance, you must use a new water supply hose. Make the appliance level using the height-adjustable feet. Check the scope of supply and the condition of the appliance. Consult the installation instructions for the installation dimensions required. Connect your appliance to a drinking water connection. When doing so, check that the drinking water connection is not kinked, crushed or twisted. Install the drainage connection. Connect the appliance to the power supply.
• Page 14: Familiarising yourself with your appliance Add detergent to the detergent dispenser. The lower spray arm washes the tableware in the bottom basket. If the tableware has not been washed properly, clean the spray arms. During the wash cycle tablets automatically fall out of the detergent dispenser into the tablet collecting tray where they can fully dissolve. The upper spray arm washes the tableware in the top basket. The intake opening is required for Zeolith drying. The blow opening is required for Zeolith drying. Add rinse aid to the dispenser for rinse aid.

• Page 27: To remove any marks from water or other residues, operate the appliance without tableware before using it for the first time. Making settings for initial start-up is necessary before first use. Connect your appliance to a mobile device to change all settings via the Home Connect app. Ensure the appliance has been installed and connected before use. For optimum drying results, use rinse aid specifically for domestic dishwashers. If the display shows Please add rinse aid, add rinse aid as instructed. You can change the settings for initial start-up and other basic settings at any time. To save the settings, press for approximately 3 seconds. Start the programme with the highest cleaning temperature without tableware. Adding rinse aid involves pressing the catch on the lid and switching on the appliance.
• Page 28: Detergent Add rinse aid up to the max mark. Switching the rinse aid system off If you find the rinse aid refill indicator irritating, you can switch the rinse aid system off. Tip: The function of rinse aid is limited with combined detergents. Spilled rinse aid can cause excessive frothing during the wash cycle. Setting the amount of rinse aid If there are streaks or water marks on tableware, change the amount of rinse aid. Suitable detergents Only use detergents that are suitable for dishwashers. For optimum washing and drying results, use separate detergent together with rinse aid. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each detergent.
• Page 29: Detergents are suitable for all cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out. With shorter programmes, tabs sometimes do not dissolve entirely and leave residues of detergent, which may impair the cleaning effect. Powder detergent is recommended for shorter programmes, and the dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling. Do not select timer programming for starting the programme. Separate detergents are products that do not contain components other than detergent. With powder and liquid detergent, the dosage can be individually adjusted to the level of soiling of the tableware. Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for shorter programmes. Combined detergents contain additional functions, such as rinse aid and salt replacement substances. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each detergent to ensure the best possible washing and drying result. Sometimes liquid detergent may leak out despite the detergent dispenser being closed, which is non-critical if you choose a programme without PreRinse.
• Page 30: Detergent Do not use detergent which could cause damage to the appliance or present a risk to health. To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking latch. Add the detergent to the dry detergent dispenser. Hand washing-up liquid can cause increased frothing and damage the appliance. Chlorine residue on tableware may present a risk to health. If you are using tablets, one is enough. Insert the tablets in a horizontal position. 20 ml – 25 ml detergent is sufficient for normal soiling. Detergents marked as organic or ecological generally contain lower levels of active agents. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each detergent. The function of rinse aid is limited with combined detergents.
• Page 31: Tableware Only put glasses and china in the dishwasher if it is marked as dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer. Avoid damage to glass and tableware. The following tableware is not dishwasher-safe: items of cutlery and tableware made from wood, decorated glassware, antique and hand-crafted tableware, plastic parts not resistant to heat, tableware made from copper or tin, tableware soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint. If you use powder detergent and select a program with pre-rinse, you can also add a little detergent to the interior door of the appliance. Only clean tableware that is suitable for dishwashers. Decorated glassware and parts made of aluminium or silver may fade or discolour with dishwashing. Delicate types of glass may turn cloudy after a few washing cycles. The chemical composition of detergent causes damage. Use a detergent marked by the manufacturer as gentle on tableware.
• Page 32: Tableware For better washing and drying results, position items with curves or recesses at an angle so water can run off. Highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic cleaning agents, particularly commercial or industrial cleaners, are not safe to use in the dishwasher with aluminium. The water temperature of the programme is too high. Select a programme with lower temperatures. After the programme has ended, take glassware and cutlery out of the appliance without delay. Remove large remnants of food from tableware. To save resources, do not pre-rinse tableware under running water. Put heavily soiled tableware in the bottom basket, e.g. pans. The more powerful the spray jet, the better the dishwashing result will be. To prevent damage to tableware, arrange it so it is stable and cannot tip over. To prevent injury, arrange cutlery with the points and sharp edges facing down. Position containers with the openings facing down so no water can collect in them. Using the appliance allows you to save energy and water compared to washing-up by hand.
