must be carried out by a qualied professional.
• Do not use the dishwasher for any purposes
other than those stated in this User Guide.
• Do not load the dishwasher with anything other
than dishes.
• Only use dishwasher detergent!
• Place knives and other sharp objects so that
they cannot cause injury to people or damage
the dishwasher.
• The appliance is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physi-
cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a person respon-
sible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• Damaged mains cables must only be replaced
by a qualied electrician.
• This appliance is intended to be used in
household and similar applications such as:
- sta kitchen areas in shops, oces and other
working environments
- farm houses
- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential
type environments
- bed and breakfast type environments
Never put dishes containing solvent residue in
the machine due to risk of explosion. Neither
may dishes containing ashes, wax or lubricating
grease be washed in the dishwasher.
Winter storage/Transport
Store the machine away from frost.
Avoid long journeys in extreme cold. Transport
the machine in an upright position or lying on its
back.
Overll protection
The overll protector starts pumping out water
and closes o the water intake if the machine’s
water level exceeds the normal level. If the over-
ll protector starts up, shut o the water supply
and phone for service. See ‘Troubleshooting’.
Cleaning
Only use a slightly damp cloth for cleaning
around the edge of the door. Do not use a spray
bottle! Water can penetrate into the lock and
come into contact with the electrical compo-
nents.
Packaging materials
Sort at source in accordance with the re-
commendations of your local authority.
Scrapping
When the time comes for the machine to be
scrapped, it should immediately be rendered
unusable. Remove the plug and cut o the lead
as short as possible.
Contact your refuse collection department or
your local authority for information on the correct
way to dispose of the machine!
The machine is manufactured and labelled for
recycling.

Child safety!
Child-safe dishwashing
• Use the knife basket, or knife holder, for all
long/sharp items.
• Always close the door and start the program
immediately once dishwasher detergent has
been added.
• Keep children away from the dishwasher when
it is open. There might be remains of dish-
washer detergent present!
• Do not allow children to use or play with the
dishwasher. Always take particular care when
the door is open.
Protect your children!
- Dishwasher detergent is
corrosive!
Store dishwasher detergent and rinse aid out
of the reach of children! Should dishwasher
detergent be swallowed, immediately drink one
or two glasses of milk or water. Do not attempt
to induce vomiting. Contact a doctor! Should
dishwasher detergent come into contact with the
eyes, rinse (for at least 15 minutes) with copious
amounts of water.

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 running
water. Simply remove large food particles and
debris. Convenient and environmentally-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 and knives placed in the knife stand
if present.
Note!
Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards or
downwards!
The middle basket is suitable for low items,
such as cups, small glasses, or bowls. The
two baskets that sit in the middle basket can
be removed to create more space between the
upper and lower baskets to t taller items. The
primary cutlery basket, which is easy to remove,
has room for ladles, whisks, serving cutlery, and
the like.
Place dinner plates, side plates, serving
dishes, saucepans, and cutlery (in the cutlery
basket) in the lower basket. The removable
plate insert, which comes with certain models,
can be easily removed to provide room for large
plates, saucepans, and pots.
Stand the cutlery with handles downward and
as spread out as possible. Ensure that spoons
are not resting inside each other.
CAUTION!
Knives and other utensils with sharp points
must be loaded in the basket with their points
down or placed in a horizontal position.
Do not put cutlery made of dierent materials -
such as silver and stainless steel - in the same
compartment (risk of stains).
The cutlery basket has a folding ap in the
middle for small items or narrow shafts, such
as electric whisks.
Place long cutlery and carving knives in the
special knife box (if present) or in the upper
basket.
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.
Do not put bowls or
cups in the primary
cutlery basket!

If you wish to use additional options
continue to part Option. Otherwise you can now
start the machine, see point 6.
Dishwashing detergent
Dispensing dishwasher detergent
Detergent should be dispensed in ac-
cordance with the water’s hardness level.
Follow the dosage instructions on the detergent
package. If your machine is tted with a water
softener, dispense as for soft water.
Pour the dishwasher detergent into the dish-
washer detergent compartment. There is one
compartment for pre-wash and one for main
wash, see Dispenser. Phone the dishwasher de-
tergent manufacturer if you have any questions
regarding the detergent.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is dicult to close the dis-
penser 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 can-
not be opened correctly.
3-in-1/ Multi-purpose detergent
Note!
Read the directions for use for such products
carefully. If anything is unclear, contact the de-
tergent manufacturer.
CAUTION!
Protect your children!
- Dishwasher detergent is corrosive!
NB!
Only use dishwasher detergent
Hand and Clothes washing detergent cannot
be used as the build-up of foam may damage or
impede the machine’s performance.
Switch on the main switch
(press and hold for 3 seconds).
Select program
For select program see part Programs.

Press start
The dishwasher will now start. It manages
the entire wash automatically. Ensure that the
door is properly closed or the machine will not

door is open or not properly closed, ‘Close door’
appears in the display.
Changing program
If you want to change program after having start-
ed the machine, press the Start/Stop button for
three seconds. Then select a new program and
press the Start/Stop button. Make sure there is
detergent in the dispenser.
Do you want to load more dishes?
Carefully open the door; the machine will stops
automatically, put in the dishes, close the door
and the dishwasher will continue from where it
left o.
If the machine is switched o at the
main switch
(or in the event of a power cut) before the wash-
ing program has been completed, the interrupt-
ed program will continue when the power comes
back on.
Note!
If the power is switched o, or if the door is open
during drying, the program is interrupted.
7
After dishwashing
Once the machine has nished, it only
draws standby current. Turn o the water faucet
if the machine is not to be used for an extended
period, such as during vacations, for example.
