    - m Warning
    - Risk of injury!
  - To prevent injuries, e.g. caused by stumbling, open the dishwasher only briefly in order to load and unload the dishwasher.
  - Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points downwards or horizontally on the knife shelf*.
  - Do not lean or sit on the open door.
  - In the case of free-standing appliances, ensure that the baskets are not overloaded.
  - If the appliance is not in a cavity and a side panel is accessible, the door hinge area must be covered at the side for reasons of safety (risk of injury). The covers are available as optional accessories from customer service or specialist outlets.

    - Risks to children!
  - If fitted, use the childproof lock. An exact description can be found in the back of the enve lope.
  - Do not allow children to play with or operate the appliance.
  - Keep children away from detergents and rinse aid. These may cause chemical burns in the mouth, throat and eyes or asphyxiation.
  - Keep children away from open dishwasher. The water in the rinsing compartment is not drinking water and could contain detergent residue.
  - Ensure that children do not place fingers in the tablet collecting tray 12. Small fingers could become caught in the slots.

- + Water softening system/Special salt
  - Water softening system/Special salt
  - To ensure good washing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing low amounts of lime, otherwise white limescale will be deposited on the utensils and inner container.
  - Tap water above a specific degree of water hardness must be softened, i.e. descaled, for use in a dishwasher. Water is softened with special salt in the water softening system of the dishwasher.
  - The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see table).
    - Setting
  - The amount of salt dispensed can be set in 4 stages depending on the hardness of your water. Accordingly 0, 1, 2 or 3 displays are lit (see table). Factory setting: 1.
  - 1. Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water utility company will help you with this.
    - 2. Setting can be found in the water hardness table.
    - 3. Close the door.
    - 4. Switch on ON/OFF switch (.
    - 5. Press and hold down the START button @.
    - 6. Rotate programme selector 8 until the salt refill indicator ` flashes.
    - 7. Release button.
    - To change the setting:
  - 1. Rotate programme selector 8 until the required setting has been selected.
    - 2. Press START button @.
    - Water hardness table
  - Using special salt
    - Always refill with special salt immediately before switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun special salt solution is immediately washed out and does not corrode the rinsing tank.
    - 1. Open the screw-type cap of the compartment 1J.
      - 2. Fill the tank with water (only required when switching on the appliance for the first time).
      - 3. Then add dishwasher salt (not table salt or tablets).
      - As soon as the salt refill indicator ` on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.
      - * depending on model
  - Using detergents with salt componentDetergents with salt component
    - If combined detergents with a salt component are used, salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21 dH (37 fH, 26 Clarke, 3.7 mmol/ l). If the water hardness is over 21 dH, special salt must be used.
  - Switching off water softening systemSwitching off salt refill indicator/water softening system
    - If the salt refill indicator ` is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing salt component), it can be switched off.

  - Rinse aid
  - As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator X is lit on the fascia, there is still a rinse-aid reserve of 1-2 rinsing processes. Refill with rinse aid.
  - The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers.
  - Combined detergents with rinse-aid component may be used up to a water hardness of 21 dH (37 fH, 26 Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness is over 21 dH, rinse aid must be used.
  - 1. Open the dispenser 1j by pressing and lifting the plate on the cover.
    - 2. Carefully pour rinse aid up to the max. mark in the filler opening.
    - 3. Close cover until it clicks shut.
    - 4. To prevent excessive foam formation during the next rinse cycle, remove any rinse aid which has run over with a cloth.
    - Setting amount of rinse aid
    - The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be set in 4 stages. Accordingly 0, 1, 2 or 3 displays are lit (see water hardness table).
    - Factory setting: 2.
    - Do not change the amount of rinse aid unless streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) are left on the utensils.
  - 1. Close the door.
    - 2. Switch on ON/OFF switch (.
    - 3. Press and hold down the START button @.

  - Not suitable
  - Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour and fade during the wash cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy after many wash cycles.
  - Glass and utensil damage
    - Causes:
    - Recommendation:
  - Loading the dishwasher
    - 1. Remove large food remnants. It is not necessary to prerinse utensils under running water.
      - 2. Place the utensils so that
      - Very small utensils should not be washed in the machine, as they may fall out of the baskets.
  - Unloading the dishwasher
    - To prevent water from dripping off the upper basket onto the utensils in the lower basket, it is recommended to empty the appliance from the bottom up.
    - Hot utensils are sensitive to shock! Therefore, when the programme ends, leave the utensils to cool down in the dishwasher until they can be handled.
