• Page 4: Important safety instructions Save these instructions! WARNING: Hydrogen gas is explosive. If the hot water system has not been used for two weeks, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow for several minutes to release any accumulated hydrogen gas. This manual does not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense and caution should always be used when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. Dishwashers must be electrically grounded. Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose. Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of the home. Use only automatic dishwasher detergents and rinse agents. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe.” Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. Do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
• Page 5: Child safety tips Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are corrosive, so always keep them out of reach of children. Should a child swallow dishwasher detergent or rinse aid, give plenty to drink immediately, i.e., one or two glasses of milk or water. Do not try to induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately. Always close the door and start the dishwasher as soon as you put in the detergent. Always keep small children away from the machine when it is open. If dishwasher detergent gets in someone’s eyes, rinse them with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Do not allow children to use or play in or on the dishwasher. Load all long and sharp items in the knife/utensil basket. Engage the child safety lock.

• Page 9: Basic course Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve the best possible dishwashing results. Do not put cutlery made of different materials in the same compartment (risk of stains). The cutlery basket has a folding flap in the middle for small items or narrow shafts. Thanks to the self-cleaning system, you do not need to rinse the dishes under running water. Place long cutlery and carving knives in the special knife box or in the upper basket. Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards or downwards. We recommend that you use only unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent. The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. Place dinner plates, side plates, serving dishes, saucepans, and cutlery in the lower basket. In hard water areas, both the dishes and the machine can develop a white or gray film after a while.
• Page 10: Replacing the prewash detergent with two tablespoons of citric acid is recommended for hard water. Use a rinse aid that contains citric acid if the water is very hard. Different brands of dishwasher detergent have varying amounts of phosphorous for softening water. If using a detergent with less than 8.7% phosphorous content, you may need to adjust the amount used. Switch on the main switch and select the program as indicated in the manual. If additional options are desired, refer to the section on options. It is advised not to add prewash detergent for Quick wash programs. Using a dishwashing detergent with a rinse aid additive means you should not fill the rinse aid dispenser to avoid a film on dishes. Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser cover to ensure proper dosage. For 3-in-1 or multi-purpose detergents, read the directions for use carefully. Recommended detergent amounts vary based on water hardness, with specific amounts for soft, medium, and hard water.
• Page 11: 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 start. Once the machine has finished, it only draws standby current. Should you wish to disconnect the power completely, just switch off at the main power switch. Turn off the water faucet if the machine is not to be used for an extended period. If you want to change program after having started the machine, press the Start/Stop button for three seconds. Carefully open the door; the machine will stop automatically, put in the dishes, close the door and the dishwasher will continue from where it left off. If the machine is switched off at the main switch before the washing program has been completed, the interrupted program will continue when the power comes back on. If the power is switched off, or if the door is open during drying, the program is interrupted.
• Page 12: Programs Select a program by pressing the program selector one or more times until the required program symbol lights up. Auto wash The dishwasher detects how soiled the dishes are and adjusts water consumption and temperature accordingly. Heavy wash The Heavy Wash program should be used for heavily soiled dishes, e.g. saucepans, pots and gratin dishes. Normal wash Used for washing normally soiled dishes such as plates, serving dishes, cups and glasses. Delicate wash This program is intended for glass and china which has just been used and therefore does not need such a powerful program. Quick wash Select Quick Wash if the dishes are very lightly soiled. Rinse & Hold For rinsing the dishes while waiting for the machine to be filled.
• Page 13: Program description outlines various washing programs available for different types of loads. The heavy program is designed for heavily soiled loads, such as pots and pans. The normal program is suitable for normally soiled loads like plates and glasses. The delicate quick program is for glass and china that has just been used. The rinse & hold program is for lightly soiled dishes that are planned to be washed later. The washer detects how soiled the dishes are and adjusts time, water consumption, and temperature accordingly. Consumption values include wash time, energy consumption, and water consumption for different programs. Hot water connection is approximately 120°F (50°C), while cold water connection is approximately 50°F (10°C). The listed temperatures are set as the default from the factory and can be altered using the temperature option. SCS refers to the self-cleaning system used in the washer.
• Page 14: Options To select an option, press one of the option buttons. Temperature With the temperature option button, you can select the wash temperature yourself. You can vary the temperatures as follows: Normal, High, Auto, Heavy, Normal, Delicate, Quick. The temperature symbol will light up if you have chosen the high temperature. This selection will remain in force until a change is made. Drying If you desire a better drying result, press the Drying options button and a symbol showing three wavy lines will light. If you want a program without Drying options, press the button again and the symbol will go out. Delayed Start If you want the machine to start later, press the Delayed start option button. Then press the Start/Stop button and the machine will start the program 5 hours later.
• Page 15: Eco-dishwashing Only wash full loads to save energy. Wash at a lower temperature if dishes are lightly soiled. Run a Quick wash program and reduce the temperature to 86°F (30°C). Select a program with Normal dry to save energy. Leave the door slightly open after the end of the program for better drying results. Do not rinse before dishwashing due to the Self Cleaning System (SCS). You do not need to rinse the dishes under running water before loading. Choose environmentally-friendly dishwasher detergent. Read environmental declarations on the detergent package. Connect to cold water supply for best performance.
• Page 16: Fragile dishes are not suitable for machine washing due to various reasons. Certain materials cannot withstand intense heat, while others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent. Certain types of plastic cannot withstand high temperatures generated in machine dishwashing. Select a program with a low temperature for fragile decorations. China with decoration on top of the glaze should not be machine washed. Place crystal and glass items so they do not knock together during the wash. Use the lowest possible wash temperature and the shortest program for glass items. Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact with each other to prevent discoloration. Cutlery with glued handles may come loose if the adhesive cannot withstand machine washing. Wooden items should only be machine washed if labeled as dishwasher safe. Aluminum can be dulled by machine washing, but good quality aluminum saucepans can be washed with a reduction in luster expected.
• Page 17: Cleaning The dishwasher tub is made of stainless steel and is kept clean through normal use. If you have hard water, limescale deposits may form in the machine. Run an empty machine with a normal wash program with two tablespoons of citric acid in the dishwasher detergent compartment. The coarse filter traps larger food particles, which cannot get past the drain pump. Empty the coarse filter as necessary. Debris that collects on the fine filter is automatically rinsed away during each wash. The fine filter and its pipe section should be cleaned once or twice a year. The dishwasher must not be used without the filter in place. An improperly fitted coarse filter may affect the dishwashing result.
• Page 18: If the machine still does not start and a buzzing sound is heard, the overflow guard has been activated. The pump can be accessed from inside the machine. Shut off the water. Cut the power to the machine by pulling out the plug. Remove the coarse filter and pipe section. Remove the small fitted piece at the left of the bottom drain. Holes and bearings can sometimes become blocked. Pull the lower washer arm straight up to release it. You can release and turn the pump blade by inserting your finger into the hole. Reinstall the fitted piece and filters.
• Page 19: To release the upper spray arm, the upper basket must be removed. Remove the upper spray arm by unscrewing it counter-clockwise from the basket and clean it. When cleaning the edge around the door, use only a slightly damp cloth, possibly with a little detergent. Do not use a spray bottle or similar around the door catch. This is to ensure that water does not penetrate into the door catch and come into contact with the electrical components. Do not use a spray bottle or similar around the door catch. In order to prevent bad odours in the dishwasher, clean the strips and corners with a dish brush and low-lather detergent.
• Page 20: Rinse aid Select dosage The dispenser is usually set at 1= soft water. In some cases, drying can be made more efficient by using rinse aid. When the rinse aid has run out, the rinse aid symbol on the panel lights up. Settings 1-6: the harder the water, the higher the dosage. When the water hardness exceeds 3 grains, you should use rinse aid with citric acid. To fill with rinse aid, turn and lift up the cover of the rinse aid compartment. Too much rinse aid can lead to the build-up of foam. There is a refill indicator in the middle of the dispenser.
• Page 21: Settings Some of the machine’s functions can be reprogrammed. You get into the machine’s change program using the machine’s ordinary buttons. The selection will be retained until the next time you reset this function. Child-safe button lock You can prevent a child starting the machine by accident or changing the settings. The button lock will automatically be reactivated after three minutes. Press the Program button – when the Auto wash symbol is lit, the button lock has been activated. Press the Start/Stop button to store the setting. When the Auto wash symbol goes out, the button lock has been deactivated. Press the Start/Stop button to confirm the setting.
• Page 22: Setting a signal You can program the machine to signal when the wash is complete. The machine is set without a signal by default. Switch off the dishwasher at the main switch. Hold in the Delayed start button at the same time as you press the main switch. Press the Program button – when the Auto wash symbol lights, the signal is activated. Press the Start/Stop button and the setting will be stored until next time you want to make a change. Press the Program button – when the Auto wash symbol goes out, the signal is deactivated.
• Page 23: Fault indications Type of fault Action Too much water in the dishwasher Fault with water inlet Check that the water tap is open Valve leakage Blocked drain Shut off the water tap and contact service See ‘Possible causes’ in chapter Troubleshooting To remove the fault indications from the display, turn off the main switch and then turn it back on again.
• Page 24: Troubleshooting The dishes are not clean - The spray arms are not rotating. - Old dishwasher detergent. - Incorrect dosage of detergent. - Wrong wash program selected. - Incorrect loading of the dishwasher. - Glasses and cups have tipped. Stains or a film on the china - Incorrectly set rinse aid dispenser. - Phosphate-free detergent in combination with hard water. - Too high a temperature and/or too much detergent can cause etching on glass. The china has a whitish-blue sticky film - Too high dosage of rinse aid.
• Page 25: Possible causes Action Problems Stains on stainless steel or silver Certain food remnants such as mustard, mayonnaise, lemon, vinegar, salt, and dressings can cause stains on stainless steel if allowed to remain for any length of time. Rinse off food residue of this type if you do not intend to start the dishwasher immediately. Separate your cutlery into various compartments in the basket. Stains which remain after dishwashing Lipstick and tea can be difficult to remove. Use a heavier program better suited for the load. Rattling sound during dishwashing The dishes are not properly loaded or the spray arms are not rotating. Check that the china is loaded securely. The machine will not start You have forgotten to switch on the main switch. The door is not closed properly. The home's circuit breaker has tripped. The plug is not plugged in. The water tap is off. Overfilling/leakage Contact our Customer Care Center. A whirring sound (the drain pump) is heard from the machine, which ceases when the power is turned off at the main power switch. Shut off the water tap. Unplug the electrical plug from the outlet.
• Page 26: Problems with the machine include water remaining in the machine, bad odors, and insufficiently dry dishes. Possible causes for water remaining in the machine include obstructions in the drain hose, kinks in the drain hose, clogged filters, and objects in the drain pump. To address water issues, check the drain hose for kinks, clean the coarse and fine filters, and clean out the drain pump. Bad odors may result from dirt along the strips and corners, which can be cleaned with a dish brush and low-lather detergent. Dishes may not get sufficiently dry if the Economy dry option is selected, the machine is not fully loaded, or if the rinse aid is out or set for too small a dosage. To improve drying, activate the Normal drying option, load the machine fully, and fill or increase the amount of rinse aid. If the door will not close, ensure the baskets are correctly positioned and that the basket water connector is aligned with the spray pipe.
