•Never use the dishwasher for any purpose other
than that specified in these operating instructions.
•Do not load the dishwasher door or dishwasher
baskets with anything other than dishes.
•Never leave the dishwasher door open as
someone may trip on it.
•Use only dishwasher detergent!
•Place knives and other sharp items so that they
cannot harm anyone or damage the dishwasher.
•The machine is not designed to be used by
persons (even children) that are physically or
mentally handicapped or lack experience and
knowledge. Such persons must receive instruction
in how to use the machine from the person
responsible for their safety.
•Damaged mains cables must only be replaced by
a qualified electrician.
•This dishwasher is for household or similar use,
such as:
-staff kitchens in shops, offices and other
workplaces.
-farms.
-for guests at hotels, motels and other types of

•Avoid long transport distances in very cold
weather.
•Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its

Child safety and dishwashing
•Use the knife basket, or knife stand, for all

•Always close the door and start the program
immediately after you have added the detergent.
•Keep children away from the dishwasher when
the door is open. Some detergent may remain
inside!
•Do not allow children to use or play with the

detergent in their eyes, rinse (for at least 15 minutes)
with plenty of water.
WARNING!
Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They

Run programs only with a full load
Wait to run a program until the dishwasher is full. This
way you save energy. Use the Rinse & Hold program
to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours
while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully
loaded.
Run programs at a lower
temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, 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. 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.

Economic dishwashing

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.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the
items feel rough) should not be washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Position items so that they do not touch each other
during the wash. Use the lowest possible wash
temperature and the shortest possible program.
Select No dry. Antique and very fragile items should
not be washed in a dishwasher.
Glass washed in a dishwasher at high temperatures
can gradually develop a grey film that cannot be
removed. Wash fragile glasses at a low temperature
and with a small amount of detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into
contact, as the silver can become discoloured.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such
cases, the handles may loosen.
Wood
Wooden items should only be washed in a dishwasher
if marked dishwasher safe.
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.
Plastic items
Avoid washing plastic items that cannot withstand
high temperatures.
Your machine is equipped with a turbo dryer, which
improves the drying of plastic and other items.
NOTE!
Plastic items should not be placed in the circled area
of the lower basket as they can be damaged by the
heat.

Fragile dishes

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you
achieve the best possible dishwashing results.
1Load the baskets correctly
Do not rinse dishes under running water before
loading them in the dishwasher. Simply scrape
off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers
in the upper basket. Wine glasses are placed on the
wine glass shelf (if fitted). Place sharp knives in the
special knife basket at the top of the dishwasher, or
in the knife stand on the right (if fitted).
NOTE!
All dirty surfaces should face inwards and
downwards!
The middle basket's wire basket with spray pipes is
suitable for low objects such as cups, small glasses
and bowls. The middle basket's utensils basket has
space for ladles, whisks, serving cutlery and similar
items.
Do not place bowls or cups in the
utensils basket!
The two baskets in the middle basket can be
removed, or the entire middle basket can be removed
to create more space between the upper and lower
baskets if larger items are being washed.
NOTE!
Fit the supplied protective cap if the wire basket with
spray pipes or the entire middle basket is removed.
Don't forget to remove the protective cap when the
wire basket with spray pipes or the entire middle
basket is refitted. See the section Dishwasher
baskets.
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots and
cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket.
Lower the fold-down plate supports when washing
pots.
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 placed in the lower basket.
WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed with
the points down in the cutlery basket or horizontally
in other baskets.
Do not place cutlery made of different materials, such
as silver and stainless steel, in the same place (risk
of discolouration).
The cutlery basket has a fold-down section in the
middle for small items, or small shafts, such as electric
whisk attachments.
15
Dishwashing

See the section Fragile dishes if you want to wash
items that may be considered fragile.
2Check that the spray arms can
rotate freely
3Add detergent
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.
Add the detergent to the detergent compartment.
There is one compartment for the prewash and one
for the main wash (see the section Dispenser). If
tablets are not used, add a small amount of the
detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact the
detergent manufacturer if you have any questions
about the detergent.
WARNING!
Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent
is corrosive!
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid
must not be used as the foam that forms prevents
the dishwasher from operating effectively.
Dishwasher tablets
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.
3–in–1/All-in-one detergent
Read through the directions for these products
carefully. If anything is unclear, contact the detergent
manufacturer.

until the display lights up
5Select the program
Press the Program selector one or more times

provide the best results.

program can also clean dried leftovers, but is not
intended for burnt food, such as on oven dishes.
Time program

a time suited to how dirty the dishes are.
Slightly dirty dishes0:30-1:15
Normally dirty dishes1:30-2:00
