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 and rinse aid 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. Use the Rinse & 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
Use when you want to save water and energy. For normally soiled load, such as plates, serving dishes, cups, glasses and so on.
This 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.
Openthedooralittleoncetheprogramhasfinished
Better drying results are achieved if you open the door a little once the program has ended. (If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding cabinets must be resistant to any condensation from 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 high heat.
Loading the dishwasher
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
By using rinse aid you will improve your drying result. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with glassware and 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 top cutlery tray.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an upper basket and a lower basket with a cutlery basket.
Theappearanceofthebasketsmaydifferdependingonthedishwashersetup.

Using the dishwasher
Add detergent
- Prewash detergent compartment
- Main wash detergent compartment
Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
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 the directions for these products carefully.
NOTE!
Optimum washing and drying results are achieved by using normal dishwasher detergent together with separately dispensed rinse aid.

Using the dishwasher
Hyg Hygiene
This program is designed to meet strict hygiene demands.
Quick
A short program for slightly soiled dishes. (This program is not intended for burnt food, such as on oven dishes.)
Intensive
A program with a high temperature to dissolve grease on very dirty dishes, such as pans, casserole dishes and oven dishes. If these dishes do not completely fill the dishwasher, you can add plates and the like.
Select program mode
To select a program mode, press the program mode selector until the desired mode is shown on the display. The available program modes vary between programs.
Speedmode
The program time is shortened, but the dishwasher uses more energy.
Nightmode
Lower noise level during the dishwashing program. The program time is extended.
Select option
To select an option, press the option button until the desired option is shown on the display. The available options vary between programs.

START
STOP
Starting the dishwasher
Close the door properly, otherwise the dishwasher will not start. Press Start/Stop until the display shows "Program started".
If the dishwasher is not started within 2 minutes of the last button press, the machine switches off.
Time remaining
Once you have chosen a program, a program mode and options, the time the program took when last used is displayed.
Once you have started the dishwasher, the display shows the remaining program time. The remaining time is updated after the water for the final rinse has been heated.
This may differ somewhat from time to time depending on the temperature of the water supply, the amount of dishes, the ambient temperature and other factors.
During the first run of each program, the remaining time displayed can be slightly misleading, as the dishwasher is estimating the time. When you run the program a second time, the dishwasher will calculate the remaining time based on the previous duration of the program.
Stopping or changing a program
In order not to accidentally press a button and cancel the current program, you must press and hold Start/Stop for five seconds if you want to change programs after starting the dishwasher. Add more detergent if the lid of the detergent dispenser has opened. Then choose a new program and press Start/Stop.

If the dishwasher is turned off due to a power failure
If the dishwashing program was not finished, the interrupted program continues when power is restored.
NOTE!
During drying, the program is interrupted if the power is cut or the door is open for more than 2 minutes.
Once the program has finished
Once the program has finished, "END" appears on the display.
At the end of the program, you will hear a short beep. Chapter Settings describes how to change this function.
The dishwasher switches off automatically after the program ends. Turn off the water tap after each use.
How to get the best drying results
• Fully load the dishwasher.
- Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
- Top up with rinse aid or increase the rinse aid dosage level.
• Activate the Extra Dry option.
Using the dishwasher
- Open the door a little once the program has finished.
- Allow the dishes to cool before unloading the dishwasher.
Unloading the dishwasher
Hot porcelain is more fragile. Leave the dishes to cool in the dishwasher before unloading them.
Unload the lower basket first to avoid any water drops from the upper basket falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

*Remove the locking nuts when installing in a recess measuring 820-821 mm.
Nominal dimensions. Actual measurements may vary.
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!
- Before screwing the dishwasher into place, test the dishwasher by running the Rinse & 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!
Transport protection for the door
Do not forget to remove the transport protection for the door when unpacking the dishwasher.
Placing the dishwasher
The dishwasher can be installed built-in, completely freestanding or partially built-in. Make sure the area on which the dishwasher is to be installed is firm.
A.Built-in
The dishwasher is intended for installation under a worktop. The recess dimensions are illustrated. Holes for wires/cables need not be larger than 38 mm in diameter. Make sure the edges of such holes are even to prevent damage to the drainage and inlet hoses and the power cable.
![620-875 >560 600 131 Ø.38 [mm]](/content/2026/05/888289/images/1e5cd399fe4862132a5dfef2efed94ed9a095654b65c207dbaf112454eee2248.jpg)
If the dishwasher is built-in the surrounding cabinetry must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.
B.Freestanding
A freestanding dishwasher must be fitted with anti-tip brackets. This comprises two brackets, which are screwed into place as illustrated.
The dishwasher is then pushed in so that the brackets engage the rear feet. Now the dishwasher will not topple if pressure is put on the open door. If the dishwasher is installed completely on its own, side panels and a worktop must both be fitted. Accessories can be purchased where you bought the dishwasher.
Installation
WARNING!
A completely freestanding dishwasher must be fitted with anti-tip brackets.
C. Partiallybuilt-in
If the dishwasher is located so that one of its sides is visible, a side panel must be fitted. Accessories can be purchased where you bought the dishwasher.
Affix the protective film
Affix the protective film (packed in the document bag). The protective film is to protect the worktop from moisture.

NOTE!
The surface to which the protective film is affixed must be clean and dry.
Adjust the height and slide the dishwasher into place
- Start by measuring the height from the floor to the bottom edge of the worktop.
- Measure the height from the floor to the top edge of the dishwasher.
- Lean the dishwasher forwards a little and adjust the rear foot with the screw at the front of the dishwasher. Turn clockwise to lower or anticlockwise to raise.
- Adjust the front feet by turning them clockwise to raise and anticlockwise to lower the dishwasher.
-
Check that there is an air gap of at least 3 mm between the underside of the worktop and the top edge of the dishwasher.
-
Slide the dishwasher into place.
• Pull the supply and drainage hoses when sliding the dishwasher into place.
- Check that the hoses have no kinks or sharp bends, and check that there is nothing that can damage the hoses.
- Make any final adjustments to the feet (the dishwasher may lean no more than 5 mm) and tighten the lock nuts on the front feet.
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 dishwasher is fitted
Installation
with an integrated anti-siphon device to prevent the machine from being emptied of water during the wash cycle.

Max. 950 mm
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 waters supply
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 high heat. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
NOTE!
The water pressure must be between 0.03 and 1.0 MPa.
Connecting a dishwasher to the water supply via certain types of pressure limiting valves may restrict the water supply! This may cause the error message "Water inlet fault" to be displayed.
If the water pressure is higher than 1.0 MPa a pressure limiting valve must be fitted.
Electrical connection
Information about the electrical connection can be found on the compliance plate. This specification must match the electricity supply.
The dishwasher must be connected to an earthed wall 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!
Repairs and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified professional.
