SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE
WARNING!
This manual does not cover all possible conditions
and situations that may occur. Common sense and
caution should always be used when installing,
operating, and maintaining any appliance.
• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• Dishwashers must be electrically grounded. Read
the Installation Instructions for details.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose.
• Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of the
home.
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents and
rinse agents.
• To reduce the risk of injury, keep detergents and
rinse aids out of the reach of children.
• Do not load sharp items near the door; you could
damage the door seal.
• Place sharp knives in the cutlery basket with the
sharp ends down to avoid the risk of cut-type
injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked
“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For items not
marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Items not dishwasher safe
could become deformed or melt and create a
potential fire hazard.
•Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are properly in place (i.e., guard plate,
access panel, toe kick, etc.).
• Do not tamper with controls by removing or
changing.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the dishwasher
door or baskets.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children
to play in or on a dishwasher.
• 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. If the hot water system has not
been used for two weeks, before using the
dishwasher 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 flammable, do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
• When removing an old dishwasher from service
or discarding it, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
• Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
servicing.
• Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.
• Read the grounding instructions in the installation
instructions.
Winter storage/Transport
• Store the dishwasher where the temperature
remains above freezing.
• 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, turn off the water
supply and call the Customer Care Center.
Care and maintenance instructions
When cleaning the edge around the door, use only a
slightly damp cloth. Do not spray water around the
edge! Moisture can make its way into the lock, which
contains electrical components.
Packing material
Please sort waste materials in accordance with local
guidelines.
Disposal
• When the machine 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.
• The dishwasher is manufactured and labeled for
recycling.
• Contact your municipality for information about
where and how your dishwasher can be recycled
correctly.

Important safety instructions

TIP!
Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are corrosive,
so always keep them out of reach of children.
• Should a child swallow dishwasher detergent or
rinse aid, give plenty to drink immediately, i.e., one
or two glasses of milk or water. Do not try to induce
vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately: Call
the National Capital Poison Center at
1-800-222-1222.
• Always close the door and start the dishwasher
as soon as you put in the detergent.
•Always keep small children away from the machine
when it is open. There may be some detergent
residue left inside the machine.
• If dishwasher detergent gets in someone’s eyes,
rinse them with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes.
• Do not allow children to use or play in or on the
dishwasher.
• Load sharp objects with the pointed end facing
the back of the dishwasher. Sharp items loaded
in the cutlery basket should be loaded with pointed
ends down.
Activate child lock (button lock)
You can activate the child lock (button lock) to prevent
children from starting the dishwasher (see the section
Settings).

Detergent/Rinse Aid Dispenser

Run programs only with a full load
Wait until the dishwasher is fully loaded before running
a program, this way you save energy. Use the Rinse
& Hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any
unpleasant odors while you wait for the dishwasher
to become fully loaded.
Run programs at a lower
temperature
If the dishes are only lightly soiled, you can select a
lower temperature with certain programs. See also
the section Select options in the chapter Dishwashing.
Select a program with Short dry
To save energy, use Short dry. The drying result will
be better if, once the program is finished, you leave
the door slightly open.
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading
the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Connect to cold water...
If you use oil or electricity to heat your home.
Connect to hot water (max. 160 °F
(70 °C))...
If you use district heating, solar power, or geothermal
power to heat your home. Choosing a hot water
connection cuts program times and reduces the
dishwasher's electricity consumption.
