OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 Safety Instructions
The safety aspects of ATAG electrical appliances comply with accepted
technical standards. Nevertheless, as a manufacturer we consider it our
obligation to make you aware of the following safety information:
Installation, Connection and Placing into Operation
• The dishwasher may only be transported upright.
• Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Do not in any circum-
stances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage,
please contact your supplier.
• Prior to placing the appliance in operation, ensure that the nominal
voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the sup-
ply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be
found on the rating plate.
For information on how to correctly install and connect up your dish-
washer, please read the “Installation“ section. Multiway plugs / con-
nectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute
a safety hazard.
Child Safety
• Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with the use
of electrical appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure
children are adequately supervised and that you do not allow chil-
dren to play with the dishwasher – there is a risk that children can
shut themselves inside the appliance (risk of suffocation!).
• Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for chil-
dren. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.
• Detergents can cause burns to the eyes, mouth, and throat, or even
cause choking! Please observe the manufacturer's safety instructions
for cleaners and detergents.
• The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for drinking. If there are
still remnants of detergent in the appliance, there is a risk of burns!
• When disposing of the dishwasher: unplug from the mains, cut off
and dispose of the mains cable. Break the door lock so that the door
no longer shuts.
Operating Instructions
6
General Safety
Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified serv-
ice engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for
the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer
service or your dealer.
• Never place the dishwasher in operation if the mains cable, water
inlet or drain hose is damaged; or the control panel, work top or
plinth area is damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely
accessible.
• If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced for a longer lead,
the cable (obtainable from ATAG customer service) must be changed
by a service engineer authorised by ATAG.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable, always pull the
plug.
• Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for
safety reasons.
Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not
being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping
over the open door and hurting themselves.
Sharp knives and items of cutlery with sharp edges must be placed in
the cutlery tray or in the upper rack.
Correct Use
• Only wash household dishes using the dishwasher. If the appliance is
used for other purposes, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer can-
not accept any liability for any damage caused.
• Prior to use, ensure that the manufacturers of the special salt, deter-
gent, and rinse aid employed specifically permit the usage of their
products in household dishwashers.
Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an explo-
sion!
• The anti-flood system provides dependable protection against dam-
age due to leaks. For this system to function correctly, the following
preconditions must be met:
– The appliance must remain connected to the mains even when it is
switched off.
– The dishwasher must be correctly installed.
Always shut off the water supply at the tap when the dishwasher is
not to be used for longer periods, e.g. when you are away on holi-
day.
Operating Instructions
7
• Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appliance may tip over.
• In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then switch off the appli-
ance and unplug it from the mains. If the appliance is permanently
wired to the mains: switch off the fuse(s) or unscrew them.
2 Disposal
Disposing of the Packaging Material
Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All the packag-
ing materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recy-
cled.
• Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations:
– >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material
– >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-free)
– >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips
• Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and
should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling.
Disposal of old appliances
As and when you cease to use your dishwasher, please take it to a recy-
cling centre or to your dealer who will, for a small contribution to the
costs, dispose of it for you.
2 Economical and Ecological Dishwashing
• Only connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply if your hot
water is not electrically heated.
• Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water.
• When you wash a small load, the load sensor calculates the amount
of water necessary and shortens the programme. It is more economi-
cal to always wash with a full load.
Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soil-
ing on the dishes.
• Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse aid than is recom-
mended in these operating instructions and by the manufacturer of
the respective product.

Prior to using for the first time
Prior to using for the first time, remove all the clips with which the dish
racks are secured for transport.
Then perform the following steps:
0 1. Adjust the water softener
2. Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener
3. Filling with Rinse Aid
Adjusting the Water Softener
To prevent the build up of scale on dishes and in the dishwasher, the
dishes must be washed with soft, i.e. low lime content water. For this
reason the dishwasher is fitted with a water softener in which tap
water from a hardness of 4 °d (German degree) is softened with the aid
of special salt.
3
Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water
in your area.
0 Adjust the water softener as stated in the table to the setting that cor-
responds to the hardness of the water in your area. The water softener
can be set manually using the water hardness switch and also electron-
ically using the buttons on the control panel.

Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener
1
Use only special salt for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container with
any another type of salt (e.g. culinary salt) or dishwasher detergent.
This would irreparably damage the water softener.
Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have
a packet of special salt in your hand.
Fill with special salt:
– Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time
– When the SALT indicator
J on the control panel is illuminated.
3
If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, you do not need to
use special salt.
0 1. Open the door, remove the lower
rack.
2. Undo the lid on the salt container by
turning it anticlockwise.
3. Only when using for the first time:
fill the salt container with water.
4. Place the funnel supplied on the con-
tainer opening.
Fill the container with special salt
through the funnel; the capacity of
the container is approx. 1.0-1.5 kg
depending on the grain size. Do not
overfill the salt container with special salt.
3
The water expelled by filling the salt container with special salt runs
out of the salt container onto the base of the washing compartment.
This is not a cause for concern, the water will be pumped out at the
start of the next wash programme.
5. Clean any salt remnants on the container opening.
6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise special salt will leak into
the wash water, this could lead to poor wash results. To avoid this run a
rinse programme after filling the salt container with special salt. This
will wash away salt water and any salt crystals that have been spilt.
3
Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for
the salt to dissolve in the water and the special salt indicator
J to
extinguish. The setting of the water softener and thus the consumption
of salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water.

Rinse Aid
Rinse aid ensures that dishes emerge thoroughly rinsed and spot free
while glasses are clear and shining.
There are two ways to add rinse aid:
• If you use detergent that already contains rinse aid, the detergent
and rinse aid are placed in the detergent container.
– In this case the rinse aid supply from the rinse aid container must
be switched off to avoid double dosing.
• If you use separate detergent and rinse aid, the rinse aid is placed in
the rinse aid container.
– In this case the rinse aid supply from the rinse aid container must
be switched on.
– Rinse aid dosing levels need to be set.
1
Only use rinse aid specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Never
fill the rinse aid container with any other substance (e.g., vinegar con-
centrate or dishwasher cleaning agent) as this would damage the appli-
ance.
Switching Rinse Aid Supply On and Off
0 1. The appliance must be switched off.
2. Simultaneously press and hold down function buttons 1 and 2.
3. Press the ON/OFF switch.
The LED displays for the engaged function buttons will flash.

Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it
is specifically marked as being dishwasher-
safe by the manufacturer.
Glazed patterns may fade if machine
washed frequently.
Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency
to discolour during washing. Left-overs, e.g.
egg white, egg yolk and mustard often
cause discolouring and staining on silver.
Therefore always clean left-overs from silver
immediately, if it is not to be washed
straight after use.
Some types of glass can become dull after a
large number of washes.

Operating Instructions
23
Use of ‘Combined detergent tablets’.
Important instructions
Detergent tablets which combine the function of detergent,
rinse aid and salt are available.
0 1. Should you use this type of detergent, please check whether the hard-
ness of the tap water is in accordance with the details as stated on the
packaging material and / or whether the product is suitable for use.
2. Should you use this type of detergent the manufacturer’s instructions
are to be observed strictly. The detergent is to be filled in the detergent
compartment, no other compartment should contain detergent. Filling
the detergent at any other location could result in poor cleaning.
3. Please contact the manufacturer of the detergent should the cleaning
and drying results be less than what you are accustomed to and which
result in streaks, milky spots or dried water marks on cutlery and dishes
(glass). (Please check the packaging for details on the address).
Should you decide to return to the use of a standard detergent,
we suggest the following:
• fill the salt compartment as well as the rinse aid compartment;
adjust the hardness of the water to a maximum level and initiate the
standard dishwashing programme without loading the dishwasher;
• readjust the hardness of the water in accordance with the hardness
of the tap water.

Concentrated detergents
Based on the chemical composition the dishwasher detergents can be
subdivided in two groups:
– conventional alkaline detergents containing caustic substances
concentrated dishwasher detergents, slightly alkaline and containing
natural enzymes
2
Use of a dishwasher programme on a temperature of 50 °C and whilst
using a concentrated detergent is environmental friendly and extends
the life span of the crockery, for the 50 °C-programmes are specially
matched to the soil dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concen-
trated detergent. A 50 °C-programme combined with a concentrated
detergent can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be
achieved using 65 °C-programmes combined with a standard deter-
gent.
Combined detergents
3
Detergents from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. For
this reason some detergents cannot develop their full cleaning power
during short programmes. Therefore please use normal programmes
with pre wash.
We cannot be held liable in the event complaints are a direct result of
using these products!
Operating Instructions
25
Automatic Wash Programmes
During the AUTOMATIC programmes the amount of soiling on the
dishes is determined by how cloudy the water is.
If the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes lightly soiled, the “pre
wash”, “main wash” and “rinsing” elements of the programme are
shorter and the water consumption level is lower.
If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled, the “pre
wash”, “main wash” and “rinsing” elements of the programme are
longer and the water consumption level is higher.
For this reason the programme duration, water and energy consump-
tion levels can vary within the stated range for AUTOMATIC pro-
grammes (see Programme Table).
In this way, the dishes are always optimally washed while water and
electricity consumption are kept low.
During AUTOMATIC programmes the temperature of the wash water is
also automatically adjusted to between 50 °C and 65 °C depending on
the amount of soiling on the dishes.
Operating Instructions
26
Selecting the Wash Programme (Programme Table)
Choose the most suitable wash programme with the aid of this table:
1)
1)
In addition to the wash programmes given in the table there is the special programme PRE WASH
i. Using this programme you can give an initial wash to dishes that are to be stored in the dish-
washer ready to be washed later. The special programme PRE WASH
i lasts 12 minutes and uses 4
litres of water and less than 0.1 kWh of energy.
2)
Noise levels vary at different stages of the wash programme as at some programme stages the
dishes are washed more energetically so that they will be cleaned more thoroughly.
3)
The consumption figures were determined under standard conditions. They are intended as a guide
only and depend on the loading. For this reason figures may vary in practice.

Load Sensing – AUTOMATIC
If a wash programme is started even though there are only a few dishes
in the upper and/or lower rack, an intelligent electronic system adjusts
the amount of water and the duration of the wash programme to the
number of dishes. By this means it is possible to wash only a few dishes
quickly and economically. At half load (6 place settings), up to 2 litres
of water and 0.2 kWh of electricity are saved.

• Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be
allowed to cool down before removing them from the appliance.
• Leave the dishes in the dishwasher for approx. 15 minutes after the
end of the programme so that they dry better and can cool down.
• First empty the lower rack, and then the upper rack. By using this
procedure you will avoid any water that may be remaining in the
upper rack, dripping onto the dishes in the lower rack and leaving
water marks.
Care and Cleaning
1
Do not under any circumstances use furniture care products or aggres-
sive cleaners.
• If necessary, clean the controls only with a soft cloth and pure warm
water.
• Occasionally check the internal containers, door seal, and water inlet
for soiling, clean if necessary.

The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it
is being connected up.
0 Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000) on the water inlet
hose to a tap with an external thread (¾ inch). Tighten the threaded
hose fitting hand tight only.
3
In order that access to the tap in the kitchen is not limited by the use
of the dishwasher, we recommend the installation of an additional
tap, or fitting a two way adapter to the existing tap.
• If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, VDE
approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available from
your Customer Services.
Lowest permitted water pressure:
1 bar (=10 N/cm

The following section is only applicable to dishwashers that have a
safety valve on the threaded hose fitting for the tap:
Water inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is
next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure
while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during
this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running water and the
draining pump in the dishwasher is switched on.
1
Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:
– The distance between the bottom
edge of the safety value and the
floor on which the dishwasher is
standing must be at least 30 cm:
– The electrical cable for the safety
valve is in the double-walled water
inlet hose. Do not immerse the
water inlet hose or the safety valve
in water.
If the water inlet hose or the safety
valve is damaged, remove the
mains plug immediately.
A water inlet hose with safety valve
must only be replaced by a
specialist or Customer Services.
– Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never higher than
the bottom edge of the safety valve.

Extension hoses
• Extension hoses are available from
your dealer or customer service.
The internal diameter of the exten-
sion hoses must be 19 mm to
ensure that the function of the
appliance is not impeded.
• Extension hoses may be laid a max-
imum of 3 metres horizontally; the

Leak Prevention System
For protection from damage due to water leaks, the dishwasher is
equipped with a leak prevention system, the AQUA CONTROL SYSTEM.
In the event of a fault, the safety valve immediately interrupts the sup-
ply of water to the appliance and the drain pump switches on. By this
means water can neither escape nor overflow. The remaining water in
the appliance is automatically pumped out.
1
The AQUA CONTROL SYSTEM also works when the appliance is switched
off – the appliance must however not be disconnected from the mains.
Electrical connection
1
In compliance with electric company technical requirements for mains
connections, hard-wired connections to the mains may only be made
by approved electri-cians.
When connecting the appliance, observe the German VDE regulations
and, if applicable, any additional conditions required by your local elec-
tricity supplier. Following installation, live parts and live insulated wir-
ing must not be accessible using a finger test in accordance with EN
60335/DIN VDE 0700.
Information on the electrical connection can be found on the rating
plate on the right side of the inner edge of the dishwasher door. If the
appliance has a change-over switch, the additional instructions on the
change-over diagram in the mains connector box must be observed.
Prior to connecting ensure that the mains voltage and current rating at
the site of installation match the nominal voltage and current rating
given on the rating plate. The required fuse protection is also to be
found on the rating plate.
To isolate the dishwasher from the mains, remove the mains plug.
Important: The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has
been installed.
If the appliance is hard-wired to the mains supply, then it must be
safely isolated from the mains within the electrical installation with
switches intended to ensure all-pole(N,L1) disconnection, shall be
directly connected to the supply terminals and shall have a contact
separation (fuses, cut outs, current trips or similar) of at least 3mm in
each pole.
