Important safety instructions
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 dish-
washer.
• Dishwashers must be electrically groun-
ded. 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 deter-
gents 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 equi-
valent. For items not marked, check the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Items
not dishwasher safe could become de-
formed or melt and create a potential re
hazard.
• Do not touch the heating element during or
imediately after use.
• 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 dish-
washer 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 wa-
ter ow from each for several minutes. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smo-
ke or use an open ame 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 ammable 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 qualied
technician.

Child safety!
Child safety tips
Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are
corrosive, so always keep them out of reach
of children.
• Should a child swallow dishwasher deter-
gent or rinse aid, give plenty to drink im-
mediately, i.e., one or two glasses of milk or
water. Do not try to induce vomiting. Seek
medical advice immediately: Call the Nation-
al Capital Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222
• Always close the door and start the dish-
washer 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. Seek medical advice.
• Do not allow children to use or play in or
on the dishwasher.
• Load all long and sharp items in the knife/
utensil basket. If this is not possible, 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.
• Engage the child safety lock.

Basic Course
Below are step-by-step instructions to help you
achieve the best possible dishwashing results.
Load the baskets correctly!
Thanks to Self Cleaning System, you
do not need to rinse the dishes under run-
ning water. Simply remove large food parti-
cles and debris. Convenient and environmen-
tally-friendly!
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and
saucers in the upper basket.Wine glasses
should be hung from or leaned against the
wine glass shelf.
Note!
Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards
or downwards!
Place dinner plates, side plates, serving
dishes, saucepans in the lower basket.
Stand the cutlery with handles downward
and as spread out as possible. Ensure that
spoons are not resting inside each other.
Do not put cutlery made of dierent materi-
als - such as silver and stainless steel - in
the same compartment (risk of stains).
Check that the spray arms are able to
move freely. See the section entitled Fragile
Dishes if you want to wash objects that may
be fragile.
Dishwashing detergent
We recommend that you use
only unscented, granular automatic dish-
washing detergent. Using the wrong deter-
gent could cause ooding and/or damage
your dishwasher. Do not use detergent that
has been wet and is clumped. Also, check
the expiration date on the container.
The amount of detergent needed can vary
due to dierences in water hardness. To
determine the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water utility or area water
softening company. The harder the water,
the more detergent you may need. Refer to
the chart below for the recommended de-
tergent amounts based on water hardness.
Remember, you should adjust the amount
of detergent you use by small amounts
until you nd the correct amount.
Twelve grains and higher is extremely
hard water and detergent alone may not
be enough.You may need to use a water
softener to maximize the performance of
your dishwasher. Also, in areas with hard
water (9+) you may need to wash at lower
temperatures to prevent hard water depos-
its from forming in tank and wash system.
In hard water areas, both the dishes and
the machine can develop a white or gray
lm after a while.

Programs.
Select option
If you wish to use additional options
continue to part Option. Otherwise you
can now start the machine, see point 6.
This can be removed by replacing the pre-
wash detergent with two tablespoons of cit-
ric acid. If the water is very hard, use a rinse
aid that contains citric acid.
Dierent brands of dishwasher detergent
have dierent amounts of phosphorous for
softening water. If you have hard water and
use a detergent with less than 8.7% phos-
phorous content, you may need to use more
detergent or use a detergent with more than
8.7% phosphorous content.
We recommend that you do not add pre-
wash detergent for the Quick wash pro-
grams.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is dicult to close the
dispenser cover. There is a risk that the
dishwasher detergent will not break down
properly to give the correct dosage if the
cover is tight and cannot be opened cor-
rectly.
Note!
If you use a dishwashing detergent with a
rinse aid additive, you may not need to ll
the rinse aid dispenser.
Read the directions for use for such products
carefully. If anything is unclear, contact the
detergent manufacturer.

On
Tab
Tab O
This option is available when using a combi
detergent, such as a 3-in-1 type.The dishwash-
ing programs are automatically adjusted so that
the best possible washing and drying results are
always attained. If you deactivate this option, the
machine will return to ordinary function for all pro-
grams. When using this option it is not necessary
to add rinse aid as the rinse aid dosing function is
bypassed. Salt consumption is reduced by roughly,
so the water softener must still be lled with salt.
Read the dishwashing detergent package care-
fully for directions of use. If you have problems with
deposits or dishes not being dry: deactivate this op-
tion and ll with rinse aid and salt. Salt consumption
applies only to machines with water softeners. See
the chapter entitled “Before doing your rst wash”.
NB: In order to achieve good dishwashing results,
it is essential to check which type of dishwasher
detergent or combi product best suits your needs!
The instructions and warnings on the
packaging must be followed!

Fragile dishes
A number of household goods are not suit-
able for machine washing. This can be due
to a variety of reasons. Certain materials
cannot withstand intense heat; others can
be damaged by the dishwasher detergent.
Fragile decoration
China with decoration on top of the glaze
(the goods have a rough feel) should not be
machine washed.
Crystal/ glass
Place the goods so that they do not knock
together during the wash. Use the lowest
possible wash temperature and the shortest
possible program. Do not heat dry! Antique
and very fragile items should not be ma-
chine washed.
Glass which is machine washed at high
temperatures can in time develop a grey lm
which cannot be removed. Wash ne glass
at the lowest temperature and with a low
dosage of dishwasher detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not
come into contact with each other as the
silver can discolor.
Cutlery with glued handles
Certain types of adhesive cannot withstand
machine washing. In such cases the handles
can come loose.
Wood
Wooden items should only be machine
washed if they are labeled as dishwasher
safe.
Aluminum
Aluminum can be dulled by machine wash-
ing. However, good quality aluminum sauce-
pans can be machine washed, although a
reduction in luster should be expected.
Plastic
Certain types of plastic cannot withstand
the high temperature generated in machine
dishwashing.
Protect plastic goods
Select a program with a low temperature.

Display
When you have selected programme and
option, the display shows the length of time
the programme took the last time it was
used. When you have started the machine,
the display window shows how much of the
programme time remains.
This time can vary a little from one occasion
to another depending on the temperature
of the inlet water, the amount of dishes, the
ambient temperature, etc.
During the time the programme is operating,
the time is counted down and the remaining
programme time is shown in the window.
The remaining time is shown e.g. as 1:02,
which means that 1 hour and 2 minutes of
the programme remain.
NB!
During the rst run of each programme, the
remaining time display can be slightly mis-
leading as the machine is estimating the
time. If the programme takes longer than
expected, it displays 1 minute until the pro-
gramme is nished.
