Installation
See the chapter Installation.
Overflow guard function
The overflow guard 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 guard is triggered, F54 (Overfilling water)
appears on the display. Turn off the water tap and contact your nearest service centre. (To avoid water
leakage outside the dishwasher, do not remove the plug from the wall socket until the water tap on
the supply line has been turned off!)
Winter storage/transport
Store the dishwasher above freezing temperature and avoid long transport distances in very cold
weather. Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its back.
Before transporting a used dishwasher, or before prolonged storage, water must first be removed
from the machine.
Packaging
The outer packaging protects the product during transport. The packaging material is recyclable.
Separate the different packaging materials to help reduce raw material use and waste. Your dealer
can take the packaging for recycling or direct you to the nearest recycling centre. The packaging is
comprised of:
•Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recycled material.
•Expanded polystyrene (EPS) with no added chlorine or fluorine.
•Supports made from untreated wood.
•Protective plastic made from polyethylene (PE).
Disposal
The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling. When the dishwasher 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.
Contact your local authority for information about where and how your dishwasher should be correctly
recycled.

Before washing for the first time
Water hardness
In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral
content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher.
Checking water hardness
Contact the local waterworks to check the water hardness in your area. This is important as regards
how much detergent and rinse aid to use.
Basic settings
The first time the dishwasher is switched on, it is important that you choose the right settings to ensure
good dishwashing results. See page 22.
Set up:
•Rinse aid
•TAB (All-in-one detergent)
Top up with rinse aid
Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid. You will also achieve a better
dishwashing result with clear and spotless dishes.
Top up the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid if you have selected Rinse aid 3:01 - 3:05.
Lift up to open
Press to close
1. Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2. Carefully top up with rinse aid to the level marked MAX.
3. Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment.
4. Close the lid firmly.
For water with a hardness greater than 10-12 °dH, you ought to use rinse aid with citric acid (known
as acid rinse aid).
8

Greener dishwashing
Save 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.
Do not rinse under running water
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.
Choose a green detergent
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.
Run a fully loaded dishwasher
Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running a program. Use the
1h 65° program with the Speed wash option to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low temperature.
Select dishwashing program –Eco 55°
The 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.
Select option –TotalDry
A shorter dishwashing program and better drying results are achieved if you use the TotalDry option,
which automatically opens the dishwasher door. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program
has ended and the dishes have cooled before unloading the dishwasher. (If the dishwasher is built-in,
the surrounding furnishings must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
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 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.
9

Loading the dishwasher
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot
withstand high heat, others can be damaged by dishwasher 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.
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.
The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher setup.
Top cutlery tray
The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks, serving cutlery and similar items.
The top cutlery tray is comprised of three parts
that can be moved sideways to better
accommodate the dishes.
10

Upper basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face
inwards and downwards! Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in
the knife stand on the right.
Knife stand
3 positions
Raising and lowering the upper basket
1. Pull out the upper basket.
2. Grab the sides of the upper basket with both hands and lift it up.
3. If the upper basket is raised while in the top position, it will drop to the bottom position.
Note that both sides of the basket must always be set to the same height.
11

Adjustable plate supports
The adjustable plate supports can be folded down to make it easier to load pots, bowls and glasses.
Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes and pots in the lower basket.
Adjustable plate supports
The adjustable plate supports can be folded down to make it easier to load pots and bowls.
12

Using the dishwasher
Add detergent
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also entails greater environmental
impact.
Detergent compartment
The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent.
If powder or liquid dishwasher detergent is
used, add a small amount of the detergent to
the compartment for prewash detergent.
Press to open Close the lid
Prewash detergent Main wash detergent
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms
prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively.
All-in-one detergent
There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read through the directions for these
products carefully.
Activate the TAB setting when using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid.
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs (less than 75 minutes). Use powder or
liquid dishwasher detergent instead.
NOTE!
Optimal washing and drying results are achieved by using normal dishwasher detergent together
with separately dispensed rinse aid.
Contact the detergent manufacturer if you have questions about the detergent.
