Load dishes according to the cutlery basket and recommended arrangement for plates, glasses and pots. Select an appropriate program—Eco for energy-efficient cycles, Auto for mixed loads, Glass for delicate items or Chef for heavily soiled cookware—and use the delayed start if needed. Connect the appliance to your home Wi‑Fi and set up Home Connect following the manufacturer instructions to enable remote monitoring and remote start.

What to consider before purchase

• Available cabinet width: requires a 45 cm built-in space
• Household size and typical dish volumes—10 place settings capacity
• Energy class E and expected energy consumption (76 kWh/100 cycles)
• Noise level 46 dB if quiet operation is important
• Need for Wi‑Fi control and Home Connect compatibility

Recommendations

For regular daily use in small households, run Eco cycles for mixed loads to reduce energy consumption and use the Chef program only when heavier soiling demands higher temperature. Ensure the appliance is level using the six adjustment feet to prevent noise and vibration, and activate AquaStop for continuous leak protection.
