●Improper installation of the appliance may cause damage.
●If the dishwasher is installed above or below other do-
mestic appliances, follow the information on installa-
tion in combination with a dishwasher in the installa-
tion instructions for the individual appliances.
●If there is no information or if the installation instruc-
tions do not include the relevant information, contact
the manufacturer of these appliances to check that the
dishwasher can be installed above or below these ap-
pliances.
●If no information is available from the manufacturer,
the dishwasher should not be installed above or below
such appliances.
●To ensure the safe operation of all domestic appli-
ances, continue following the installation instructions
for the dishwasher.
●Do not install the dishwasher under a hob.
●Do not install the dishwasher near heat sources, e.g.
radiators, heat storage tanks, ovens or other appli-
ances that generate heat.
●Contact between the appliance and water pipes may lead
to corrosion of these pipes, possibly causing them to leak.
●Check that there is a distance of at least 5cm between
the appliance and the water pipe. The pipes supplied
for the drinking water and waste water connections are
not affected here.
●Modified or damaged water hoses may result in material
damage and damage to the appliance.
●Never kink, crush, modify or cut through water hoses.
●Only use the water hoses supplied with the appliance
or genuine spare hoses.
●Never re-use water hoses that have been used before.
●If the water pressure is too high or too low, the appliance
may not be able to operate properly.
●Make sure that the water pressure in the water supply
system is min. 50kPa (0.5bar) and max. 1000kPa
(10bar).
●If the water pressure exceeds the maximum value spe-
cified, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed
between the drinking water connection and the hose
set of the appliance.
Safe use
ATTENTION!
●Escaping water vapour can damage fitted units.
●When the programme ends, leave the appliance to cool
down for a while before opening the door.
●Special salt for dishwashers can damage the tub due to

Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible
and can be recycled.
●Sort the individual components by type and dispose of
them separately.
Information about current disposal methods is available
from IKEA or your local authority.
Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less
electricity and less water.
Use the Eco50° programme.
The Eco50° programme is energy-efficient and environ-
mentally friendly.
If you do not have much tableware to wash, use the addi-
tional Half Load function.1
The programme will adjust to a lower load and consump-
tion will be reduced.
→"Additional functions", Page14
Aqua sensor
The aqua sensor is an optical measuring device (light bar-
rier) which measures the turbidity of the washing water. You
can save water with the aqua sensor.
Use of the aqua sensor depends on the programme. If the
soiling level is high, the rinsing water is drained off and re-
placed with fresh water. If the soiling level is lower, the rins-
ing water is used in the next wash cycle, so reducing water
consumption by 3-6 litres. In the automatic programmes the
temperature and running time are additionally adjusted to
the level of soiling.

Automatic door opening
The appliance door opens automatically during the drying
phase. This ensures a particularly economical drying result.
For best drying results wait until the end of programme be-
fore unloading the tableware. The programme has ended
when the display shows "0h:00m".
If automatic door opening is deactivated, energy consump-
tion increases and the drying phase is usually shortened.

Water softening system
Water softening system
Water softening system
Hard water leaves limescale on the tableware as well as the
washing tank, and parts of the appliance may become
blocked.
To ensure good dishwashing results, you can treat the water
with special salt and the water softening system. To avoid
damage to the appliance, water with a hardness above 9°E
must be softened.
Overview of water hardness settings
You can find an overview of the water hardness values that can be selected here.
You can find out how hard your water is from your local water company or by using a water hardness tester.

Special salt
You can use special salt to soften water.
Adding special salt
If the special salt refill indicator lights up, add special salt to
the dispenser for special salt just before the programme
starts. The consumption of special salt depends on the water
hardness. The higher the water hardness, the greater the
consumption of special salt.
ATTENTION!
●Detergent may damage the water softening system.
●Only fill the dispenser of the water softening system
with special dishwasher salt.
●Special salt for dishwashers can damage the tub due to
corrosion.
●To make sure that any special salt that escapes is
washed out of the tub, add the special salt to the dis-
penser for special salt immediately before the pro-
gramme starts.
1. Unscrew the lid of the dispenser for special salt and re-
move.
2. On initial start-up: Fill the dispenser right up with water.
3. Note:Only use special salt for dishwashers.
Do not use salt tablets.
Do not use table salt.
Add the special salt to the dispenser.
Fill the dispenser right up with special salt. The water in
the dispenser is displaced and forced out.
4. Place the lid back on the dispenser and turn to close.
Switching off the water softening system
If you find the special salt refill indicator irritating, e.g. when
using combined detergents with salt replacement sub-
stances, you can switch the indicator off.
Note
To avoid damage to the appliance, only switch off the water
softening system in the following cases:
●The water hardness is max. 26°E and you are using a
combined detergent with salt replacement substances.
According to the manufacturers, combined detergents
with salt replacement substances can generally only be
used up to a water hardness of 26°E without adding spe-
cial salt.
●The water hardness is 0 - 8°E. You do not need to use
special salt.

fill indicator is deactivated.
Regeneration of the water softening sys-
tem
In order to obtain fault-free function of the water softening
system, the appliance performs regeneration of the water
softening system at regular intervals.
Regeneration of the water softening system takes place be-
fore the end of the main rinse cycle in all programmes. It will
increase the run time and consumption values, e.g. water
and electricity.
Overview of consumption values with regeneration

Here you can find an overview of the maximum additional
running time and consumption values during regeneration
of the water softening system.

Detergent
Detergent
Detergent
Suitable detergents
Only use detergents that are suitable for dishwashers. Both
separate and combined detergents are suitable.
For optimum washing and drying results, use separate de-
tergent, adding "Special salt" →Page18 and "Rinse aid"
→Page18 separately.
Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline for-
mulation with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch and re-
move protein. Oxygen-based bleaching agents are generally
used to remove coloured marks, e.g. tea or ketchup.
Note:Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each deter-
gent.
Tabs
Tabs are suitable for all cleaning functions and do not need
to be measured out.
With shorter programmes tabs sometimes do not dissolve
entirely and leave residues of detergent. This may impair the
cleaning effect.
Powder detergent
Powder detergent is recommended for shorter pro-
grammes.
The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.
Liquid detergent
Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for
shorter programmes without PreRinse.
Sometimes liquid detergent may leak out despite the
detergent dispenser being closed. This is not a fault and is
non-critical if you remember the following:
●Only choose a programme without PreRinse.
●Do not select timer programming for starting the pro-
gramme.
The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.
Separate detergents
Separate detergents are products that do not contain com-
ponents other than detergent, e.g. powder detergent or li-
quid detergent.

20
With powder and liquid detergent the dosage can be indi-
vidually adjusted to the level of soiling of the tableware.
For better washing and drying results and to avoid damage
to the appliance, please additionally use "Special salt"
→Page18 and "Rinse aid" →Page18.
Combined detergent
Besides conventional separate detergents, a number of
products are available with additional functions. These
products contain not only detergent but also rinse aid and
salt replacement substances (3in1) and, depending on the
combination (4in1, 5in1,...), additional components such as
glass protection or stainless steel cleaner.
According to the manufacturers, combined detergents gen-
erally only function up to a water hardness of 26°E. With a
water hardness above 26°E you will need to add special salt
and rinse aid. For the best washing and drying results we re-
commend using special salt and rinse aid from a water hard-
ness of 17°E. If you are using combined detergent, the
washing programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the
best possible washing and drying result.
Unsuitable detergents
Do not use detergent which could cause damage to the ap-
pliance or present a risk to health.
Hand washing-up liquid
Hand washing-up liquid can cause increased frothing and
damage the appliance.
Detergent containing chlorine
Chlorine residue on tableware may present a risk to health.
Information on detergents
Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use.
●Detergents marked as "organic" or "ecological" (environ-
mentally friendly) generally contain lower levels of active
agents or completely dispense with certain substances.
The cleaning effect may be restricted here.
●Set the rinse aid and the water softening system to the
separate detergent or combined detergent in use.
●According to the manufacturers, combined detergents
with salt replacement substances can only be used up to
a certain water hardness, usually 26°E, without adding
special salt. For the best washing and drying results we
recommend using special salt from a water hardness of
17°E.
●To prevent sticking, only touch detergents in a water-sol-
uble pouch with dry hands and only ever place them in a
dry detergent dispenser.
●Even if the rinse aid and special salt refill indicators light
up, washing programmes will run properly with combined
detergents.
●The function of rinse aid is limited with combined deter-
gents. You will generally get better results using a separ-
ate rinse aid.
●Use tablets with a special drying performance.
Adding detergent
1. To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking latch.
2. Add the detergent to the dry detergent dispenser.
15 ml
25 ml
50 ml
If you are using tablets, one is enough. Insert the tablets
in a horizontal position.
If you are using powder or liquid detergent, follow the
manufacturer's instructions and quantities for dosage in
the detergent dispenser.
20ml–25ml detergent is sufficient for normal soiling. If
tableware is only lightly soiled, slightly less than the
amount of detergent specified is usually sufficient.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser.
aThe lid clicks into position.
aThe detergent dispenser will open automatically at the
optimum time during the programme. Powder or liquid
detergent will spread around the washing tank and dis-
solve there. Tablets will fall into the tablet collecting tray
and dissolve in the right dosage. In order to ensure that
tablets can dissolve evenly, do not place any other objects
in the tablet collecting tray.
Tip:If you use powder detergent and select a program with
pre-rinse, you can also add a little detergent to the interior
door of the appliance.
