Important Information
Keep these operating instructions carefully near the
appliance, so that they are always at hand.
If you should sell or pass on the appliance to third par-
ties, ensure that you hand over the appliance complete
with this leaflet, so that the new user can inform himself
about the working of the appliance.
The following articles are only suitable for washing in
the dishwashers if they are specifically sold as ”dish-
washer proof”:
•Cutlery with wooden or horn handles, with glued
parts, bronze cutlery, pans with wooden handles,
articles made from aluminium, copper, crystal, lea-
ded glass and plastic. In case of doubt, consult the
manufacturer of the corresponding article.
•Silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery must be
separated in the cutlery basket. If the two materials
come into contact, a chemical reaction can occur
which can lead to discoloration of the silver.
•The door of the appliance should not be opened
while it is in operation. The steam that would
escape can condense on the furniture parts loca-
ted above the appliance, and, over time, could
cause damage. If the door is accidentally opened,
a safety device switches the dishwasher off.

Installation

•In areas with hard water and on newly developed
estates, we recommend that you install a water fil-
ter directly near the supply tap. The water filter re-
duces wear in your dishwasher and can be easily
cleaned. Ask your plumber to fit such a filter.

In daily use

Clean and care for your appliance regularly. In this way
you will avoid costly service work. For more informa-
tion, refer to the Cleaning chapter.
•Do not use any hand or commercial rinsing
agents or cleaners.
•If the dishwasher is left unattended for longer
periods, e.g., when you are on holiday, close the
water taps. Ensure that the appliance is discon-
nected from the mains supply.
