Activate child lock (button lock)

You can activate the child lock (button lock) to prevent children from starting the dishwasher. See the chapter Settings.

Installation

See the chapter Installation.

Winter storage/Transport

Store the dishwasher above freezing and avoid long transport distances in very cold weather.

Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its back.

Overflow guard function

The overflow protection starts pumping out the machine and turns off the water supply if the water level in the dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If the overflow protection is triggered, Overfilling water appears on the display. Turn off the water supply and contact your nearest service centre.

Packaging

The outer packaging protects the product during transport. The packaging material is recyclable. Separate the different packaging materials to help reduce raw material use and waste. Your dealer can take the packaging for recycling or direct you to the nearest recycling centre. The packaging is comprised of:

• Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recycled material.
- Expanded polystyrene (EPS) with no added chlorine or fluorine.
• Supports made from untreated wood.
• Protective plastic made from polyethylene (PE).

Disposal

The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling.

When the dishwasher has reached the end of its service life and is to be disposed of, it should immediately be made unusable. Pull out the power cable and cut it as short as possible.

Contact your local authority for information about where and how your dishwasher should be correctly recycled.

Before washing for the first time

1. Water 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.

Checkingwaterhardness

Water hardness is specified using the German water hardness scale (°dH) or the French water hardness scale (°fH).

A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 6^ dH ( 9^ fH) must be softened. This is done automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener. In order for the water softener to function optimally, it must be adjusted to the hardness of the water supply. Once you have adjusted the water softener, use detergent and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water.

Contact the local waterworks to check the water hardness in your area.

Make a note of the water hardness: ____

		RecommendedsettingFrenchwaterhard
		00-9°fH0-5°dH
		110-14°fH6-8°dH
		215-20°fH9-11°dH
		321-25°fH12-14°dH
		426-34°fH15-19°dH
		535-43°fH22-24°dH
		644-52°fH25-29°dH
		753-70°fH30-39°dH
		871-88°fH40-49°dH
		989°fH50°dH

If the water hardness exceeds 50^ dH ( 89^ fH), we recommend connecting an external water softener.

Increasedconsumptionduringregeneration

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 ECOprogram is run with a water hardness of 14 °dH ( 57 °fH ), 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 occurs during the program's main wash.

WARNING!

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 6^ dH ( 9^ fH).

2. Basic settings

Open the door and press the main power switch.

"This is a first time set up." is shown on the display. It is important that you choose the right settings to ensure good dishwashing results.

The dishwasher saves 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.

Donotrinseunderrunningwater

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.

Chooseagreendetergent

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.

Runafullyloadeddishwasher

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.

Runprogramsatalowertemperature

If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low temperature.

Selectdishwashingprogram-ECO

This program is suitable for washing normally dirty 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.

Selectprogrammode—Greenmode

The dishwasher has different program modes. To save energy and water, use Green mode. (Available with: Universal)

Selection-AutoOpen

A shorter dishwashing program and better drying results are achieved if you use the Auto Open 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.

Connecttocoldwater

Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.

Connectiontohotwatersupply

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 cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.

NOTE!

Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand strong heat.

Fragile dishes

Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others can be damaged by dishwashing 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.

Fragiledecoration

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-paintedglassware, as well as antique and very fragile items, should not bewashed in dishwasher.

Silver

Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the silver can become discoloured.

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.

Cutlerywithgluedhandles

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 cutlery basket.

NOTE!

Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

The dishwasher's baskets

The dishwasher is equipped with an upper basket and a lower basket with a cutlery basket.

Theappearanceofthebasketsmaydifferdependingonthedishwashersetup.

Upper basket

Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards! Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right.

1. Prewash detergent compartment
2. Main wash detergent compartment

Detergent is added according to water hardness.

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.

The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent. There is one compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If powder or liquid dishwasher detergent is used, 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.

Dishwashertablets

Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid. There is a risk that the detergent will not be released properly if the lid is tight and will not open correctly.

NOTE!

Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs (less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher detergent instead.

All-in-onedetergent

There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read through the directions for these products carefully.

**Door length.
Nominal dimensions. Actual measurements may vary.

It is important that you read through and follow the instructions and directions below. Conduct installation and connection in accordance with the separate installation instructions.

Safety instructions

• 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 screwing the dishwasher into place, 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!

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!

Setup

• 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.

Installation

• Affix the protective film (packed in the document bag) to the underside of the worktop. The protective film is to protect the worktop from moisture.
• 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

See the separate installation instructions for necessary information.

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 dishwasher is fitted with an integrated anti-siphon device to prevent the machine from being emptied of water during the wash cycle.

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 joins and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm. However, the drainage hose should ideally be replaced with a new hose without joins.

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.

Connection to cold watersupply

Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.

Connectiontohotwatersupply

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 cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.

NOTE!

Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand strong heat. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.

Electrical 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. Do not use an extension cord!

NOTE!

Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or performance should be done by trained experts.
