Instructions when using your dishwasher
This dishwasher is not designed for commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic
households and in similar working and residential environments such as:
• Shops
• Ofces and showrooms
and by residents in establishments such as:
• Hostels and guest houses.
It must only be used as a domestic appliance as specied in these user manual, for
cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery. Any other usage is not supported by the
manufacturer and could be dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper
use or operation.
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or
corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed,
or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or
inhaled.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily, as you could trip over it.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be
damaged, and you could get injured.
DW9000M_DD68-00191D-01_EN.indd 8 2/20/2018 12:26:07 PM

Safety information
English 9
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use
washing-up liquid.
Do not use the strong acid cleaning agent.
Do not ll the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause serious
damage to the reservoir.
Inadvertently lling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent
will damage the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of
dishwasher salt before lling the salt reservoir.
Please only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation, as other salts may
contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the softener.
In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cutlery is cleaned and dried
more if placed in efciently the basket with the handles downwards. However, to avoid
the risk of injury, place knives and forks etc. with the handles upwards.
Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water, such as disposable
plastic containers, or plastic cutlery and crockery should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
On models with Delay Start function, make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding
detergent. Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dispenser and
may not be thoroughly dispersed.
Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points
down or placed in a horizontal position.

Instructions for protecting your children
This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children well away and do
not allow them to play in or around the dishwasher or to use the controls. They will
not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever
you are working in the kitchen. There is also a danger that children playing might shut
themselves in the dishwasher.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
Older children may only use the dishwasher when its operation has been clearly explained
to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM DETERGENTS!
Dishwasher detergents contain irritant and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning
in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.

Instructions for installing your dishwasher
Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible damage. Under no
circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance could be
dangerous.
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply via a suitable switched
socket. The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed
so that it can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time. (Refer to the
“Dishwasher at a glance” section on page 14.)
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Danger of overheating and re
risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which
are sometimes generated by a hob could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it
should not be installed next to open res or other appliances which give off heat, such as
heaters etc.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has been fully installed and
any adjustment has been made to the door springs.
Before connecting the appliance, check that the connection data on the data plate (voltage
and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualied
electrician.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete
between it and an effective grounding system. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly tested and where there is any doubt the electrical
system in the house should be checked by a qualied electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate grounding
system (e.g. electric shock).
DW9000M_DD68-00191D-01_EN.indd 11 2/20/2018 12:26:08 PM

Safety information
Safety information
English12
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an
extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of
overheating).
This appliance may only be installed in mobile installations such as ships if a risk
assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualied engineer.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. The housing
must not be submerged in water.
There are electrical wires in the hose of Aqua-Stop. Never cut the water inlet hose, even if
it is too long.
Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualied and
competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations.
Repairs and other work by unqualied persons can be dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
The integrated waterproof system offers protection from water damage, provided the
following conditions are met:
• The dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in.
• The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced where it can be seen
that this is necessary.
• The stopcock has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a longer period of
time (e.g. during holidays).
• The waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched off. However, the
appliance must remain connected to the electricity supply.
A damaged appliance can be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at
the mains and call your dealer or the service department.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the
manufacturer cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by an approved
service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by original spare parts. Only when these parts
are tted can the safety of the appliance can be guaranteed.
DW9000M_DD68-00191D-01_EN.indd 12 2/20/2018 12:26:08 PM

Safety information
English 13
Always disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical supply for maintenance work
(switch off at the wall socket and remove the plug).
If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a special cable, available from
the manufacturer. For safety reasons, this must only be tted by the service department
or an authorised service technician.
In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a
clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other
vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.
In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the appliance is only completely isolated
from the electiricity supply when:
• it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or
• it is switched off at the mains, or
• the mains fuse is disconnected, or
• the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).
Do not make any alterations to the appliance, unless authorised to do so by the
manufacturer.
Never open the casing/housing of the appliance. Tempering with electrical connections or
components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous and can cause operational faults or
electric shock.
While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service
technician authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.
When installing the product, make sure there is space at the top, left, right and back of the
product to ensure proper ventilation. If there is insufcient space between the product
and the sink, it may damage the sink or allow mold to grow.
Make sure that your dishwasher’s hardness level setting is correct as your area. (Refer to
the “Water softener” section on page 31.)

CAUTION
• Do not wash items that are covered with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease, or paint.
These materials will damage the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and will spread
inside the dishwasher.
• Remove food remains such as bones, fruit seeds, etc. and waste such as toothpicks,
paper napkins, etc. from your dishes. Food remains and waste can make noise, cause
the dishwasher to malfunction, and damage your dishes and dishwasher.
Unsuitable items for the dishwasher
WARNING
Wash only items such as glass, porcelain, and cutlery which the manufacturer declares as
dishwasher safe. Do not wash aluminium (e.g. grease lters). The dishwasher may damage
aluminium, or in extreme cases, cause a severe chemical reaction.
Do not wash the following items in the dishwasher.
• Copper, brass, tin, ivory, and aluminium items or items with adhesive
• Non-heat resistant plastics
• Craft items, antiques, valuable vases, and decorative glassware
• Pottery or glazed-ceramic items
• Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts
• Delicate glassware or glassware containing lead crystal. Clouding may occur on the
glassware after frequent washing.
NOTE
Silverware that has contacted foods containing sulphur may become discoloured. Food
with sulphuric content include egg yolks, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, sh, sh brine,
and marinades.
Water reector
The water reector automatically detects obstacles inside the dishwasher that can
interfere with the reector’s signal. If an obstacle is detected, "0" blinks and the
dishwasher chimes for several minutes. If this happens, remove the obstacle.

Basic use of racks
Height adjustment
You can adjust the height of the upper rack so that the lower rack can accommodate
larger sized dishes. Depending on the height of the upper rack, the lower rack can
accommodate plates up to 31 cm in diameter, and the upper rack can accommodate plates
up to 19 cm in diameter.
To raise the upper rack
Pull the upper rack upwards. The
adjustable handle will latch, and the upper
rack will raise.
To lower the upper rack
Hold both the adjustable handles located
at the left and right sides of the upper
rack, and then evenly press down.
CAUTION
• Adjust the height of the upper rack
before loading dishes into the rack.
Adjusting the rack after loading the
dishes may damage the dishes.
• Make sure to hold both handles when
adjusting, or the dishwasher door may
not close properly.

Before you start
English 17
To remove the upper rack
To remove the upper rack, pull the upper rack to the front until it is fully extended, and
then lift it slightly to remove. See the gures above for the illustrated steps.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the dishwasher without the upper rack. Otherwise, noises occur and the
dishwasher does not operate properly.
• Because the upper rack is removable, insert the upper rack properly to ensure the
dishwasher operates normally.
Loading dishes
Into the lower rack
Load cookware (pots, pans, etc.) up to
31 cm in diameter into the lower rack. The
lower rack is specially designed for dinner
dishes, soup bowls, plates, pots, lids, and
casserole dishes.
Load plates into the centre column of the
rack so that the top of a plate faces the
bottom of the next plate. Load large items
such as pans and pots into the dishwasher
so their inner cavities face downwards. We
recommend loading cups, stemware, and
small plates into the upper rack.

Before you start
English18
Into the Zone Booster+ areas
For more effective cleaning, load large
items into the left side of the lower
rack— the Zone Booster+ areas. The Zone
Booster+ function supplies more powerful
water jets to the Zone Booster+ areas.
Make sure pot handles and other items
do not interfere with the rotation of the
nozzles and the water reector.
Into the upper rack
The upper rack is for small plates, mugs,
glasses, and plastic items. Make sure the
loaded dishes do not interfere with the
rotation of the nozzle which is located at
the bottom of the upper rack. (Check this
by rotating the nozzle by hand.)
When loading dishes, pull the upper rack
out so you can load it without striking the
counter above.

Using the glass support
The glass support is especially suited for
wine glasses. Hang wine glasses onto the
pegs of the glass support. Fold the glass
support back when it is not being used.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the level of the upper rack
with the glass support propped up. This
will make it impossible to adjust the upper
rack.
Cutlery rack
Organize items as desired
• The cutlery rack is best for atware
and cooking or serving utensils. Use
the cutlery rack to organize atware or
utensils.
• For best results, place heavily soiled
items in the standard cutlery basket.
NOTE
The cutlery rack can be removed if you
need more space on the upper rack to
clean larger items.
