Safety instructionsNOTE! Follow the instructions carefully to avoid injury to persons and damage to property, and to maintain the warranty.
Safety instructionsWater hardness In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher. Checking water hardness Water hardness is specified using German degrees of water hardness (°dH), French degrees of water hardness (°fH), English degrees of water hardness (°eH) or millimoles per litre (mmol/l). A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/l) must be softened. This is done automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener. In order for the water softener to function properly, its settings must be adjusted to the hardness of the water supply. Once you have adjusted the water softener settings, add detergent and rinse aid in doses suitable for soft water. Contact the local waterworks to check the water hardness in your area. Make a note of the water hardness:____________ Recommended settingmmol/l°eH°fH°dH 00.0-0.90-60-90-5 11.0-1.47-1010-146-8 21.5-2.011-1415-209-11 32.1-2.515-1821-2512-14 42.6-3.419-2426-3415-19 53.5-4.325-3035-4320-24 64.4-5.231-3644-5225-29 75.3-7.037-4953-7030-39 87.1-8.850-6171-8840-49
If the water hardness exceeds 50°dH (89°fH / 62°eH / 8.9 mmol/l), we recommend connecting an external water softener. Increased consumption during regeneration The dishwasher's built-in water softener is regularly regenerated to maintain its function. Regeneration extends the dishwashing program and increases energy and water consumption. Just how often the dishwasher's water softener is regenerated depends on the selected setting. Example: If the Eco program is run with a water hardness of 14°dH (25°fH / 18°eH / 2.5 mmol/l), the water softener is regenerated at regular intervals (after 7 dishwashing cycles), energy consumption increases by 0.015 kWh, and water consumption increases by 2.3 litres, while the program time is extended by 3 minutes. Regeneration takes place during the program’s main wash.
Before washing for the first timeWARNING! Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and inside the dishwasher. It is therefore important that you select the right setting for the water softener! See Water hardness. Never run the dishwasher with an empty salt compartment if the water supply has a water hardness in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/l). Basic settings Open the door. Press . "This is a first time setup." is shown on the display. It is important that you choose the right settings to ensure good dishwashing results. Select setting with or .

For a water supply with a hardness above 5 °dH (9 °fH / 6 °eH / 0.9 mmol/l), fill with salt. For a water supply with a hardness below 6°dH (10°fH / 7°eH / 1.0 mmol/l), select 0. The water softener is deactivated and no salt needs to be added. Activate this setting when using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid. TAB On/Off (All-in-one detergent)
This setting reduces the rinse aid dosage and affects how often the dishwasher's built-in softener is regenerated. Pre-selected at factory: Off To change the selected setting, see the chapter Settings.
Before washing for the first timeTop up rinse aid Top up the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid if you have selected Rinse aid 1 - 5. Lift up to open Press to close
1. Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2. Carefully top up with rinse aid to the level marked MAX.
3. Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment.
4. Close the lid firmly.
Top up salt For a water supply with a hardness above 5 °dH (9 °fH / 6 °eH / 0.9 mmol/l), fill with salt. Add salt to the salt compartment if you have selected Water hardness 1 - 9.
1. Remove the salt compartment lid by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt compartment top-up hole. Before
washing for the first time, pour in about 1 l of water. (Water is only needed the first time.)
3. Add enough salt to fill the salt compartment (max. 750 gram). Use special dishwasher salt.
4. Wipe away excess salt and turn the lid clockwise until in the closed position.
WARNING! In order to avoid rust stains a dishwashing program must be started immediately after adding salt. Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt compartment. This destroys the water softener!
Before washing for the first timeSave energy and water When using a dishwasher in a residential setting, less energy and water are generally used compared to washing the dishes by hand. Do not rinse under running water Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water consumption. Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher. Choose a green detergent Read the environmental declaration on the packaging! Too much detergent, rinse aid and salt can result in less effective dishwashing and also entail greater environmental impact. Run a fully loaded dishwasher Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running a program (see number of standard place settings). Use the Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours. You can also use the Anti-odour program to prevent bad odours from dirty dishes left in the dishwasher. Run programs at a lower temperature If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low temperature. Select dishwashing program – Eco This program is suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most effective program in terms of combined energy and water consumption. This program is used to assess compliance with EU legislation on ecodesign. The dishwashing program is designed for an effective wash using as little energy and water as possible. The program washes at a low temperature for a long time. Select option – Automatic door opening Better drying results are achieved if you use the Automatic door opening option, which automatically opens the dishwasher door. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program has ended and the dishes have cooled before unloading the dishwasher. Connect to cold water Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas. Connect to hot water Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water connection reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption. NOTE! Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
Greener dishwashingFragile dishes Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high heat, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent. Exercise caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking. Fragile decoration Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher. Crystal/Glass Wash fragile items made of crystal/glass using the gentle dishwashing program Crystal glass. Remember to use a small amount of detergent and to place items so that they do not touch each other during the wash. Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with clear and spotless dishes. Hand-painted glassware, as well as antique and very fragile items, should not be washed in a dishwasher. Silver Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the silver can become discoloured. In order to avoid marks and tarnishing, separate dishes made from different metals, such as silver, stainless steel and aluminium. Aluminium Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminium pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost. Cutlery with glued handles Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles may loosen. Loading affects the results Load the dishes carefully to ensure the best washing and drying results with the lowest possible energy and water consumption. Give your dishwasher the best chance to reach and clean all surfaces, as well as to dry the dishes as thoroughly as possible.
- All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!
- Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
- Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
- Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the top cutlery tray. NOTE! Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjustable plate supports The adjustable plate supports can be adjusted to suit the dishes. Release the plate supports by pushing them inwards before repositioning them. The plate supports can also be folded down to make it easier to load pots and bowls.
Loading the dishwasherAdaptable power zones The dishwasher's two adaptable power zones can be opened in two different positions or turned off. For vases and slim items For pots and pans For higher spray pressure in the lower spray arm Pre-selected at factory: Off Leave the power zones open if you want an increased water flow where, for example, you have placed pots and pans or vases and slim items. Turn the dishwasher’s power zones off if you want greater spray pressure in the lower spray arm. Washing large plates You can adjust the lower basket for plates with a diameter of 25-39 cm by moving the adjustable plate supports and their fixtures to increase the distance between the tine rows. Cutlery basket Place cutlery with the handles facing down, except for knives, and spread them out as much as possible. Ensure that spoons do not stack inside each other. The cutlery basket is best placed in the middle at the front of the lower basket to best utilise dishwashing performance from the unique spray zone intended for the cutlery basket. WARNING! Knives and other pointed items must be placed horizontally in the dishwasher's special cutlery baskets. Fold-down section for small items The cutlery basket has a fold-down section in the middle for small items or small shafts (such as electric whisk attachments).
Loading the dishwasherAdd detergent Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. This dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water. Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also entails greater environmental impact. Press to open Close the lid Prewash detergent Main wash detergent The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent. There is one compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If dishwasher detergent powder or dishwasher detergent gel is used, you can add a small amount of the detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact the detergent manufacturer if you have questions about the detergent. NOTE! Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively. All-in-one detergent There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read through the directions for these products carefully. Activate the TAB setting when using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid. Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for programs lasting less than 75 minutes. Use dishwasher detergent powder or dishwasher detergent gel instead. NOTE! Optimal washing and drying results are achieved by using dishwasher detergent together with separately dispensed rinse aid and salt.

*Remove the locking nuts when installing in a recess measuring 860-861 mm. Cover door length. Nominal dimensions. Actual measurements may vary. [mm]** Status light, min. 50 mm.
- Connections to electricity, water and drainage must be performed by a qualified professional.
- Always follow applicable regulations for water, drainage and electricity.
- Take care during installation! Wear protective gloves! There must always be two people!
- Place a drip tray on the floor beneath the dishwasher to prevent damage from any water leaks.
- Before fastening the dishwasher, test the dishwasher by running the Rinse and hold program. Check that the dishwasher fills with water and drains. Check also that none of the connections leak. WARNING! The ventilation opening in the lower part of the door must not be blocked by a rug, carpet or similar furnishing. WARNING! Turn off the water supply when installing the dishwasher! The plug must be disconnected or power to the socket turned off while the work is carried out!
- The recess and connection dimensions are included in the separate installation instructions. Check that all dimensions are correct before starting the installation. Note that the height of the cover door can be adjusted to match other fittings.
- Make sure the area on which the dishwasher is to be installed is firm. Adjust the adjustable feet so that the dishwasher is level. Tighten the lock nuts.
- If the dishwasher is built-in the surrounding furnishings must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.
- Mount the protective film beneath the worktop and up around the edge. The function of the protective film is to protect the worktop from moisture. (The protective film is in the enclosed plastic bag.)
- Check that the machine is installed such that the door opens freely, otherwise door lock functionality may be disrupted.
- Note that the door springs may need adjusting after a cover door has been fitted. Adjust the left and right door springs equally until the door is evenly balanced. Drainage connection This dishwasher is suitable for installing in a raised recess (to attain an ergonomic working height). This means that the dishwasher can be placed so that the drainage hose runs to a lower level than the bottom of the dishwasher, such as by routing it directly to a floor drain. The drainage hose can also be connected to a connection nipple on the sink unit's water trap. The connection nipple must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm. The drainage hose may be extended by a maximum of 2.5 m (the total length of the drainage hose must not exceed 4.5 m). Any joints and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm. No part of the drainage hose may be more than 950 mm above the bottom of the dishwasher. Attach the drainage hose with a hose clamp. Ensure that the drainage hose has no kinks. Connection to water supply Use only the inlet hose supplied with the dishwasher. Do not re-use old or other spare hoses. The supply pipe must be fitted with a water tap (stopcock). The water tap must be easily accessible, so that the water can be shut off if the dishwasher has to be moved. Once the installation is complete, turn on the water tap and allow the pressure to settle for a while. Check that all connections are watertight. Connect to cold water Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas. Connect to hot water Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water connection reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption. NOTE! Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
InstallationElectrical connection Information about the electrical connection can be found on the serial number plate. This specification must match the electricity supply. The dishwasher must be connected to an earthed socket. The electric wall socket must be placed outside of the installation area to be easily accessible after installing the dishwasher.
