This indicates that death or serious injuries may occur as a result of non-observation of this warning.

CAUTION!

This indicates that minor or moderate injuries may occur as a result of non-observation of this warning.

NOTICE: This indicates that damage to the appliance or property may occur as a result of non-compliance with this advisory.

Note: This alerts you to important information and/or tips.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.

This dishwasher is intended for use up to a maximum altitude of 13,000 ft (4,000 meters) above sea level.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe the following:

WARNING

Risk of injury or death!

Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered in this manual or for any purpose other than those explained in the following pages.

WARNING

Risk of injury!

Severe injury and/or product damage could result from the use of unauthorized service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by an authorized service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.

WARNING

Risk of electrical shock or fire!

Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual unless you are certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed and the dishwasher has been properly grounded.

WARNING

Health hazard!

Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some bleach-based products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards!

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring system or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. See the Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical requirements.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock!

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Safe Operation

Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher safe.

Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

CAUTION!

When loading items to be washed:
- Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.
- Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
- Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
- Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
- Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.

Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Risk of injury!

To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided.

To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents/legal guardians to ensure the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

Proper Care and Maintenance

WARNING

Risk of explosion!

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher for service or discarding.

To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.

Note: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not allow water to remain in your dishwasher systems through extended periods of freezing temperatures. Freezing temperatures can damage the water fill valve and potentially other components of your dishwasher.

NOTICE: It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the procedure to shut off the incoming water supply and the procedure to shut off the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instructions or contact your installer for more information.

State of California Proposition 65 Warning:

WARNING

Causes of Damage

NOTICE: Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for the possible damages or consequences.

• To avoid possible dishwasher damage, do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads (metal or plastic), or abrasive cloths/paper towels to clean your dishwasher's exterior door panel. Your dishwasher's exterior door panel can be damaged by doing so.
• To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing materials or anything other than normal, dishwasher safe dishware and kitchenware.
• Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.

Water softening system / special salt

To ensure good rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. water which is low in lime, otherwise limescale will be deposited on the utensils and interior container. Tap water above 7^ dH (1.2 mmol/l) must be softened. The water is softened with special salt (regeneration 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 following water hardness table).

Water hardness table

Water hardness value °E	Hardness range	mmol/l	Set value on the machine
0-8	soft	0-1.1	0-8
9-10	soft	1.2-1.4	9-10
11-12	medium	1.5-1.8	11-12
13-15	medium	1.9-2.1	13-15
16-20	medium	2.2-2.9	16-20
21-26	hard	3.0-3.7	21-26
27-38	hard	3.8-5.4	27-38
39-62	hard	5.5-8.9	39-62

Adjusting the water softening system

The amount of salt dispensed can be set from 0 to 62^ . Salt is not required at the set value 0-8.

Set the softening system as follows:

1. Ask your local water utility company for the water hardness value of the tap water.
2. Required setting can be found in the water hardness table.
   3.Open the door.
3. Switch on ON/OFF switch
4. Press Info button i 3 for 3 seconds until the following text is indicated on the display window at the top 4:

Scroll with < >

Set with - +

Leave with 3 sec.

1. Keep pressing button >8 until the water hardness is indicated on the display window at the top 4.
2. Make the selection with setting buttons + - 7.
3. Press and hold the Info button i3 for 3 seconds.

The chosen setting has now been stored.

Using special salt

As soon as the low salt indicator 6 lights up on the digital display, salt should be topped off. Refilling the salt dispenser should be done before switching on the appliance. This ensures that extra salt water is washed out and will not corrode the rinsing tank.

NOTICE: Detergent will destroy the water softening system! Never pour detergent into the salt dispenser.

Top off the salt as follows:

1. Undo the screw plug on the dispenser 26
2. Fill the dispenser with water (required only when switching on the appliance for the first time).
3. Add salt as illustrated (do not use table salt or tablets). The water is displaced and runs out.

For more information about buying dishwasher salt, please contact Customer Service 1-800-944-2904.

Using detergents with salt component

If combined detergents with a salt component are used, special salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21^ (37^, 26^, 3.7mmol / l) . If the water hardness is over 21^ , salt must be used.

Switching off low salt indicator / water softening system

If the use of combined detergents with a salt component impairs the low salt indicator 6 on the control panel or the text on the display window at the top 4 (enough salt for x rinse cycles), the displays can be switched off.

Proceed as described under "Setting water softening system" and set the value to 0-8. The water softening system and salt refill indicator are now switched off.

Rinse Aid

As soon as the low rinse aid indicator 5 lights up on the control panel, rinse aid should be topped off.

The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid which the manufacturer designates as safe to use in domestic dishwashers.

Combined detergents with rinse aid component may be used with soft to moderately hard water only (0-2 bands on test strip or up to an ^ E value of 20). For moderately hard to hard water (3 to 4 bands on test strip or ^ E value of 21 or higher), rinse aid must be used.

Adding rinse aid

NOTICE: To avoid oversudsing or clogging, do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser 30. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

1. Open the rinse aid dispenser [30] by pressing on the latch of the lid and pulling it open.

1. Add liquid rinse aid to the dispenser 30 until it is full. Do not overfill. Avoid spilling into air vent hole.

3.Close the lid. Lid must be fully closed until it clicks in order to seal.
4. Wipe up any excess rinse aid that may have puddled when the dispenser reservoir is full.

This prevents excessive frothing during the next wash cycle. The indicator light will go out a few moments after the dishwasher door is shut.

Tip: For easier pouring, remove lid from the rinse aid bottle.

NOTICE: Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser 30 with detergent. Doing so will damage the dishwasher.

Setting the amount of rinse aid used

The amount of rinse aid to be dispensed can be set from 0 to 6. Set the amount of rinse aid to be dispensed to 5 to obtain a very good drying result. Do not change the amount of rinse aid unless there are streaks or water stains on the utensils. Set a lower level to avoid streaks. Set a higher level to avoid water stains.

Set the amount of rinse aid as follows:

1. Open the door.
2. Press on ON/OFF button 1.
3. Press Info button i 3 for 3 seconds until the following text is indicated on the display window at the top 4:

Scroll with < >

Set with - +

Leave with 3 sec.

1. Keep pressing button >8 until the rinse aid dispenser is indicated on the display window at the top 4 .
2. Make the selection with setting buttons + - 7.
3. Press and hold the Info button i3 for 3 seconds.

The chosen setting has now been stored.

Note: Do not change the amount of rinse aid unless there are streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) visible on the utensils.

Switching off rinse aid refill indicator

If the use of combined detergents with a rinse aid component impairs the low rinse aid indicator 5 on the control panel (enough rinse aid for x rinse cycles), the displays can be switched off.

Proceed as described under "Setting amount of rinse aid" and select setting 0.

NOTICE: Using no rinse aid or setting the dispenser to 0 may result in longer cycle times consuming more energy and water. The higher temperatures can damage fine china or glassware.

Loading the Dishwasher

Dishware material

Note: Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check the information in this section. Some items are not dishwasher-safe and should be hand washed; others require special loading.

Recommended Precaution
Aluminum Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in your water may cause the aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be removed with a soap-filled steel wool pad.
China, Crystal, Stoneware	Some hand-painted utensils may discolor, fade or spot. Hand wash these utensils. Position fragile glassware so that it will not topple over or come in contact with other utensils during the wash cycle.
Glass Make sure to use dishwasher-safe glass. Milk glass may discolor or become yellow.
Non-stick Coatings Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying.
Plastics Make sure the plasticware is dishwasher-safe.
Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver and Silver Plates	Load these so they do not come in contact with other metals, stainless steel dishwasher tank walls or the inner door.

Not Recommended	Reason
Acrylic Crazing or small cracks throughout the acrylic, may occur.
Adhesive-Joined Pieces	Adhesives that join materials such as plastic, wood, bone, steel, copper, tin, etc. may loosen.
Bone-Handled Utensils	Handles may separate.
Iron Iron will rust. Hand wash and dry immediately.
Non-Dishware Items	Your dishwasher is intended for use in cleaning ONLY standard household dishware and kitchenware.
Pewter, Brass, Bronze	These items will tarnish. Hand wash and dry immediately.

Glass and silverware damage

Causes:

Glass type.
- Type of dishwasher detergent.
Water temperature of the wash cycle.

Recommendation:

Use only glasses and porcelain which the manufacturer designates as dishwasher-safe.
- Use a detergent which protects silverware.
- Use less intensive wash cycles and take glass and silverware out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the wash cycle ends.

Loading the racks

For best dishwashing results, observe the following when loading the dishwasher:

• Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached food soil.
• Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks and excessive grease.
  Pre-treat items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils.
• Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the insides of bowls, pots and pans are facing the spray arms.
• Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes.
• Separate items of dissimilar metals. Use care to not block movement of the spray arms.
• Only wash household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher-safe.

Refer to the Dishware Materials section for more information about dishware suitability.

NOTICE: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing materials or anything other than normal, dishwasher safe dishware and kitchenware.

Loading the upper rack

Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.

Note: When pushing the upper rack 22 into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of the tub so the upper rack spray arm 23 connects to the water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door.

Loading the lower rack

Place large items in the lower rack [29]. Load pots, pans and bowls upside down.

Depending on the features of your dishwasher, the tines can be folded down. This facilitates arrangement of pots, bowls and glasses.

Fold down the flip tines as follows:

1.Pull flip tine gently forward and release it from the notch (1).
2.Push the flip tine downward to the desired position (2).

To fold up, push flip tines into an upright position until the holder engages in the notch.

Third rack

The third rack horizontally positions knives, spatulas and other oversized tools for improved cleaning and easier loading and unloading. Arrange cutlery in third rack as illustrated.

Cup shelves

The cup shelves and the space underneath them can be used for small cups or for larger serving utensils.

Stemware support

The lower rack accommodates two rows of stemware by placing glasses on angled flip tines and resting the stems against the wine stem bar and cup shelves.

Extra tall item sprinkler

If an item is too tall to be placed in the lower rack [29] even with the upper rack [22] in the raised position, remove the empty upper rack [22] by pulling it out of the dishwasher until it stops. Pull the front of the rack upward and outward until the rack will not slide out anymore. Then lift it up and away from the dishwasher, until the rollers are completely free of the roller guides (A).

Set the upper rack 22 aside and push the roller guides (A) back into the dishwasher. Insert the extra tall item sprinkler (B) into the upper rack spray outlet (C) and turn the sprinkler clockwise to lock into position.

NOTICE: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not reinstall the upper rack [22] without removing the extra tall item sprinkler (B).

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.

NOTICE: To avoid damage to dishwasher or dishware:

• Do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
• Do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft water may cause etching in glassware and fine china.
• To best protect glassware, use a wash cycle with low temperatures or a specific glass-care cycle (depending on the model) and use a detergent that includes etch protection.

Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.

Adding detergent

1. If the detergent dispenser [31] is still closed, actuate locking bar [32] to open it.
2. Pour detergent into the dry detergent dispenser 31 only. Do not overfill the detergent dispenser.

When using detergent tabs, lay them such that they do not come in contact with the cover, insert a detergent tab flat, not on its side.

Note: Do not place detergent tabs in the tab tray [24]. Place tabs or other detergent forms directly in the detergent dispenser [31].

3.Dosage: see manufacturer's instructions on the packaging. Use graduated detergent dispenser.

Usually 114 to 112 tablespoons (20ml - 25ml) are adequate for normal soiling. If using tablets, one tablet is adequate.

4.Close cover on the detergent dispenser. Cover "clicks" into position.

The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the optimum time depending on the wash cycle. The powder or liquid detergent is distributed in the appliance and is dissolved, the detergent tab falls into the detergent tab tray where it dissolves in doses.

Tip: If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate.

Suitable detergents and care products can be purchased online via our website or via customer service (see back page).

Combination detergent

Apart from conventional single function detergents, a number of products are offered with additional functions. These products contain not only the detergent but also rinse aid and salt replacement substances (3in1) and, depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, ...), additional components such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner. Combination detergents function only up to a specific degree of hardness (usually 21^ ). Over this limit salt and rinse-aid must be added.

As soon as combined detergents are used, the rinse programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible rinsing and drying result.

Notes

• If you want to add more utensils after the wash cycle has started, do not use the detergent tab tray [24] as a handle for the upper rack. The detergent tab could already be there and you will touch the partially dissolved tab.
• Do not place small parts for washing in the detergent tab tray [24]; this prevents the detergent tab from dissolving evenly.

• You will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results by using single function detergents and applying salt and rinse aid separately.

• If wash cycles are short, detergent tabs may not have full cleaning effect due to different dissolving properties and there may even be undissolved detergent residue. It is recommended to use washing powder for these wash cycles.

• The dosing of a detergent tab is adequate for the "Intensive" wash cycle (for some models). When using washing powder, you can apply some of this cleaning agent to the inside of the appliance's door.
  Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit, the rinse cycle will run correctly with combined detergents.
• If using detergents in a water-soluble protective cover: Take hold of the cover with dry hands only and put the detergent into an absolutely dry detergent dispenser only, otherwise the detergent may stick.
• If you switch from combined detergents to single function detergents, ensure that the water softening system and amount of rinse aid have been set to the correct value.
• Biological/eco detergents: Detergent products identified as "Bio" or "Eco" (to protect the environment) usually use lower quantities of active agents or completely dispense with certain substances. The cleaning effect of such products may occasionally be restricted.

Dishwasher Cycles

Note: In order to save energy, it is recommended to set the Auto Power Off feature to "After one minute".

Wash cycle Recommended use Possible wash cycle option
AUTO 150 - 160° F	This cycle cleans items having baked-on or hard dried-on food soils. These items may require soaking or hand scouring.	all all
AUTO Wash 130 - 150° F	This cycle is appropriate for mixed loads. It is optimised according to the soiling with the aid of sensors.	all
Regular (see note at bottom of table)	Recommended for daily, regular or typical use to completely wash a full load of normally soiled dishes.	all Note:In order to obtain optimal performance with minimum energy consumption, it is recommended to disable all available options and settings, except Auto Power Off
Quick Wash	Cleans lightly soiled dishes with easy to remove food soils.	Extra Dry
Glass Care	A cycle for lightly soiled dishes which is ideal for temperature sensitive dishes or silverware. In this cycle the temperature is reduced to help prevent dishes from becoming damaged. It is especially helpful to reduce a cloudy or etched appearance on glasses. Note:Some glasses are more prone to etching due to the glass manufacturing process.	all
Rinse	Use this cycle if you need to pre-rinse dishes to avoid odors. Place unrinsed dishes inside the dishwasher and select the Rinse cycle. Uses less water than hand rinsing and very low energy.

Note: The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal or Regular soil sensing cycle as follows: The unit was tested without any rinse aid (liquid) in the rinse aid dispenser [30]. A single dose of detergent was inserted into the detergent dispenser [31], with no detergent being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected to truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure. We recommend that dish loads such as the one in the energy certification test have the rack position set in the highest position.

Dishwasher Cycle Options

Intensive Zone

Perfect for a mixed load. You can wash very soiled pots and pans in the lower rack together with normally soiled utensils in the upper rack. The spray pressure in the lower rack is intensified, the rinsing temperature is increased slightly.

Turbo>>

Turbo is an option that allows saving time without sacrificing wash and dry performance. Selecting this option ensures the same final temperatures as the underlying cycle by starting the heat period at an earlier phase in the program. Selecting this option also increases energy consumption while reducing cycle time.

Extra Dry

An increased temperature during the final rinse and an extended drying phase ensure that even plastic parts dry better. There is a slight increase in the energy consumption.

Wash Cycle Information

To save energy, this dishwasher has EcoSense where the sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the amount of food soil and the incoming water temperature. The "Smart Control" makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. Wash cycle times are based on 120^ (49^) water supply. If your household water supply is different than 120^ (49^) , your dishwasher's cycle times may be impacted.

Note: Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of Section 6 of the NSF/ANSI Standard for Residential Equipment for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, to imply that all cycles have passed sanitization performance tests.

Operating the Dishwasher

Note: With hidden controls, the door must be opened before changing settings and closed after changing settings.

WARNING

Risk of injury!

To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided.

Protection against unintentional operation

AquaSensor

The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device which measures the cleanliness of the rinse water.

The AquaSensor is used according to the wash cycle. If the AquaSensor is active, "clean" rinse water can be transferred to the next rinse and water consumption can be reduced by 0.8-1-5 gal (3-6 liters). If the rinse water is not yet clear, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In the automatic wash cycles the temperature and running time can also be adjusted to the degree of soiling.

Time display

The wash cycle time is determined during the wash cycle by the water temperature, the amount of dishes, as well as the degree of soiling and may vary (depending on the selected wash cycle). You can change the time display into time of day or hours/minutes so that the remaining cycle time of the wash cycle appears in the display window "Finish at" (for example 15:20 o'clock) or "Finish in" (for example 3:25 hours).

Sensor setting

The wash cycle sequence is optimized in Auto wash cycles with the aid of sensors. The sensors adjust the wash cycle strength of Auto wash cycles depending on the amount and type of soiling. You can adjust the sensitivity of the sensors in 3 stages.

Standard: This setting is recommend for daily regular or typical use. This is the most energy efficient setting.

Sensitive: This setting adjusts the wash cycle strength for the effective removal of food remnants, even if the amount of soiling is low. The energy and water consumption is increased accordingly.

Very sensitive: This setting adjusts the wash cycle strength for difficult conditions of use, for example firmly dried on food remnants. This setting is recommended if using biological or eco detergents which contain lower amounts of active agents. The energy and water consumption is increased accordingly.

Extra Dry

The final rinse uses a higher temperature which improves the drying result. The cycle time may increase slightly. (Caution if utensils are delicate!) You can switch the Extra Dry function on or off. There is a slight increase in energy consumption.

Eco forecast

When Eco forecast is activated, the average water and energy consumption of the selected wash cycle is briefly displayed in the digital display 4.

Auto power off

This setting determines the length of time the control panel stays illuminated after the cycle is complete.

To save energy, the recommended setting is "after one minute".

Possible settings are:

off: The appliance does not switch off automatically.
After one minute: The appliance switches off after 1 minute. This is the most energy efficient setting.
After two hours: The appliance switches off after 2 hours.

Tone volume

The end of the wash cycle is indicated by a buzzer. You can also change this setting.

Button volume

When you are operating the dishwasher, a signal sounds whenever a button is pressed. You can control the volume of the signal. If you do not like the button volume, you can switch it off.

Fault Cause Remedial action

Silverware not dry. Silverware not arranged properly in the silverware basket. Silverware not arranged properly in the third rack.	Separate silverware if possible, prevent contact points. Arrange silverware properly and separate if possible.
Appliance interior wet after rinse cycle.	No appliance fault. On account of the "Condensation drying" principle, water droplets are physically induced and required in the container. The humidity in the air condenses on the inner walls of the dishwasher, drains and is pumped out.
Food soils on the dishes. Dishes placed too closely together, racks overfilled.	Arrange dishes with adequate clearance between them ensuring that the spray jets can reach the surface of the dishes. Prevent contact points.
Spray arm rotation obstructed. Arrange dishes so that the spray arm can rotate without obstruction.
Spray arm nozzles are blocked. Clean the spray arm nozzles.
Filters 27 dirty. Clean filters.
Filters 27 inserted incorrectly and/ or not engaged.	Insert and engage filters correctly.
Rinse wash cycle too weak. Select a more intensive rinse cycle. Increase sensitivity of the sensors.
Dishes precleaned too intensely; sensors therefore decide on weak wash cycle sequence. Stubborn soiling cannot be completely removed.	Do not prerinse dishes. Remove only large food soils. Increase sensitivity of the sensors. Recommended wash cycle "Regular" or Intensive.
Tall narrow containers in corner areas are not rinsed adequately.	Do not place hollow containers too obliquely and do not place in the corner area.
Upper rack 22 on right and left not set to same height.	Set upper rack to same height using side levers.
Dishwasher seems to run a long time	Incoming water is not warm enough. Before starting a cycle, run hot water faucet at the sink closest to the dishwasher.
	Cycle time can vary due to soil and water conditions. Sensors in the dishwasher automatically increase the cycle time to ensure a good wash when heavy soil is detected.
	Rinse aid dispenser 30 is empty. Add rinse aid.
	Dishwasher connected to cold water supply. Verify dishwasher is connected to hot water supply plumbing.
	Note:Check the typical wash cycle length.

Fault Cause Remedial action

Detergent residue. Detergent dispenser cover 31 blocked by dishes and therefore does not open fully.		Dishes must not be placed above the detergent tab tray 24. These may block the lid of the detergent dispenser and prevent it from opening fully. Do not place dishes or fragrance dispenser in the detergent tab tray.
	Detergent dispenser cover 31 blocked by the detergent tab.	Detergent tab must be inserted flat and not upright.
	Detergent tab used in the quick or short wash cycle.	Dissolving time of detergent tab too long for a quick or short wash cycle.

	Washing effect and dissolving performance are reduced after a prolonged storage time or detergent is very lumpy.	Change detergent.
Water stains on plastic parts. Droplet formation on plastic surface is physically unavoidable. After drying, water stains are visible.		Use a more intensive wash cycle (more water changes). Arrange dishes in a sloping position. Use rinse aid. If required, increase softening setting.
Washable or water-soluble coatings in the container or on the door.	Detergent substances are deposited. These coatings cannot usually be removed with chemicals (appliance cleaner, ...).	Change detergent brand. Clean appliance mechanically.
	If there is a "white coating" on the container floor, the water softening system has been set very low.	Increase softening setting and change detergent if required.
	Salt dispenser cover 26 not closed.	Close salt dispenser cover correctly.
	Only for glasses: Initial glass corrosion - can only apparently be wiped off.	See "Glass and silverware damage".
White, stubborn coatings; limescale on the dishes, container or door.	Detergent substances are deposited. These coatings cannot usually be removed with chemicals (appliance cleaner, ...).	Change detergent brand. Clean appliance mechanically.
	Hardness range incorrectly set or water hardness greater than 8.9 mmol/l.	Set water softening system according to instructions for use or top up salt.
	3 in 1 detergent or bio/eco detergent not effective enough.	Set water softening system according to instructions for use or use separate detergents (proprietary detergent, salt, rinse aid).
	Underdosing of detergent. Increase detergent dosage or change detergent.

Too weak rinse cycle selected. Select a more intensive rinse cycle.

Fault Cause Remedial action

Tea or lipstick residue on the dishes.	Too low rinsing temperature. Select wash cycle with higher washing temperature.
	Too little or unsuitable detergent. Use suitable detergent at correct dosage.
	Dishes precleaned too intensely; sensors therefore decide on weak wash cycle sequence. Stubborn soiling cannot be completely removed.	Do not prerinse dishes. Remove only large food soils. Increase sensitivity of the sensors. Recommended wash cycle "Regular"
Colored (blue, yellow, brown), difficult to remove to non-removable coatings in the appliance or on stainless steel dishes.

	Film formation caused by metallic components on silver or aluminum silverware.	Can be partly removed with machine cleaner or by mechanical cleaning.
Colored (yellow, orange, brown), easily removable deposits inside the appliance (mainly in the floor area)	Film formation consisting of ingredients from food soils and substances from the tap water (limescale), "soapy"	Check function of the water softening system (refill with salt) or, if using combined detergents (tablets), activate water softening system.
Discoloration of the plastic parts inside the appliance.	Plastic parts inside the appliance may become discolored during the service life of the dishwasher.	Discoloration is normal and will not impair the function of the dishwasher.
Plastic parts discolored. Too low	rinsing temperature. Select wash cycle with higher washing temperature.
	Dishes precleaned too intensely; sensors therefore decide on weak wash cycle sequence. Stubborn soiling cannot be completely removed.	Do not prerinse dishes. Remove only large food soils. Increase sensitivity of the sensors. Recommended wash cycle "Regular"
Removable streaks on glasses, glasses with metallic appearance and silverware.	Too much rinse aid. Set rinse aid amount to lower setting.
	No rinse aid added or setting too low.	Add rinse aid and check dosage (recommended setting 4-5).
	Detergent residue in the final rinse wash cycle section. Detergent dispenser cover blocked by dishes (cover does not open fully).	Detergent dispenser cover must not be obstructed by dishes. Do not place dishes or fragrance dispenser in the detergent tab tray.
	Dishes precleaned too intensely; sensors therefore decide on weak wash cycle sequence. Stubborn soiling cannot be completely removed.	Do not prerinse dishes. Remove only large food soils. Increase sensitivity of the sensors. Recommended wash cycle "Regular"
Initial or existing, irreversible clouding of glass.	Glasses not dishwasher-proof, only suitable for dishwasher.	Use dishwasher-proof glasses.

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to:

The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances (Gaggenau®) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the Gaggenau appliance ("Product") sold to you, the first using purchaser, provided that the Product was purchased:

for your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes;
- new at retail (not a display, "as is", or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use; and
- within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase. The warranties stated herein apply only to the first purchaser of the Product and are not transferable.

Gaggenau reserves the right to request proof of purchase at the time any warranty claim is submitted to confirm that the Product falls within the scope of this limited product warranty.

Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Gaggenau to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.

How Long the Warranty Lasts

Gaggenau warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of seven hundred thirty (730) days (2 years) from the date of purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever.

This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chip, dents, or other damage to the finish of the Product), for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors.
