Summary of Contents

• Page 1: Page 1
• Page 2: Your dishwasher Safety instructions Child lock Installation Declaration of conformity Overflow guard Before washing for the first time Water hardness Basic settings Care and cleaning
• Page 3: Your dishwasher On/Off Display Start/Stop Select program Select program mode Auto door open Delayed start Symbols on the display First time setup is shown on the display the first time the dishwasher is switched on. It is important that you choose the right settings to ensure good dishwashing results.
• Page 4: Safety instructions Read the user manual and keep it in a safe place. Number of standard place settings: 14. Never use the dishwasher for any purpose other than that specified in these operating instructions. Do not load the dishwasher door or dishwasher baskets with anything other than dishes. Never leave the dishwasher door open as someone may trip on it. Use only dishwasher detergent. This machine can be used by children aged 8 and upwards, and by people with reduced physical capacity, mental ability, memory loss or lacking experience and knowledge. Damaged supply cord must only be replaced by the manufacturer's service centre or someone similarly professionally qualified. Only use the dishwasher in household-type environments for dishwashing household dishes. Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the points down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other baskets.
• Page 5: Safety instructions Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent is corrosive. You can activate the automatic child lock setting to prevent children from starting the dishwasher. The overflow guard starts pumping out the water and turns off the water supply if the water level exceeds the normal level. If the overflow guard is triggered, F54 (Overfilling water) appears on the display. The outer packaging protects the product during transport and is recyclable. Separate the different packaging materials to help reduce raw material use and waste. The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling. When disposing of the dishwasher, 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 recycling the dishwasher.
• Page 6: Safety instructions Read the user manual. Recycle as electrical waste. Approved in accordance with the relevant EU directives. Approved in accordance with the relevant UK legal requirements.
• Page 7: Before washing for the first time Water hardness is essential for achieving good dishwashing results. Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher. Water hardness is specified using various degrees of measurement. A water supply with hardness over 5°dH must be softened. The built-in water softener automatically softens the water. Adjust the water softener settings to match the water supply hardness. Add detergent and rinse aid suitable for soft water after adjusting settings. Contact local waterworks to check the water hardness in your area. If water hardness exceeds 50°dH, consider connecting an external water softener. Regeneration of the water softener increases energy and water consumption.
• Page 8: Before washing for the first time Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and inside the dishwasher. It is therefore important that you select the right setting for the water softener. Never run the dishwasher with an empty salt compartment if the water supply has a water hardness in excess of 5°dH. It is important that you choose the right settings to ensure good dishwashing results. Select the language to be shown on the display. Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid. The rinse aid dispenser can be adjusted between 0 (Off) and 5 (High dosage). Adjusting the water softener. Select a setting depending on the hardness of the water supply. For a water supply with a hardness above 5 °dH, fill with salt. Activate this setting when using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid.
• Page 9: Before washing for the first time, top up rinse aid and salt. Top up the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid if you have selected Rinse aid 1 - 5. Open the rinse aid compartment lid and carefully top up with rinse aid to the level marked MAX. Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment and close the lid firmly. When the rinse aid needs topping up, the symbol lights on the display. For a water supply with a hardness above 5 °dH, fill with salt. Add salt to the salt compartment if you have selected Water hardness 1 - 9. Pour in about 1 l of water before washing for the first time, then add enough salt to fill the salt compartment. When the salt needs topping up, the symbol lights on the display. A dishwashing program must be started immediately after adding salt to avoid rust stains.
• Page 10: Greener dishwashing Save energy and water when using a dishwasher in a residential setting. Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water consumption. Choose a green detergent and read the environmental declaration on the packaging. Run a fully loaded dishwasher to save energy and water. Use the Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours. Run programs at a lower temperature if the dishes are only slightly dirty. Select the Eco dishwashing program for normally soiled dishes, which is effective in terms of energy and water consumption. Better drying results are achieved with the Auto door open option. Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity, or gas. Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply if the building is heated using energy-efficient means.
• Page 11: Loading the dishwasher Some cookware is not dishwasher safe due to high heat or damage from detergent. Exercise caution with handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood, and plastic. Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing should not be washed in a dishwasher. Drying is faster and better with rinse aid for crystal/glass. Hand-painted glassware and antique items should not be washed in a dishwasher. Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact to avoid discoloration. Aluminium can lose its shine in a dishwasher, but good quality pans can be washed. Some types of glue on cutlery handles are not dishwasher safe. Load dishes carefully to ensure the best washing and drying results. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards.
• Page 12: Loading the dishwasher The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an upper basket and a lower basket with a cutlery basket. The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher setup. The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks, serving cutlery and similar items. Avoid placing tall objects in the top cutlery tray. They can block the top spray arm. Pull out the top cutlery tray. Pull forward the two locking handles on either side to raise the top cutlery tray. Make sure the upper basket is in the lowest position. Slide the two locking handles on either side downwards and backwards to lower the top cutlery tray.
• Page 13: Loading the dishwasher involves placing glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and saucers in the upper basket with dirty surfaces facing inwards and downwards. Wine glasses should be placed on the wine glass shelf, and knives in the knife stand on the right. To raise the upper basket, pull it out and lift it up by grabbing the sides with both hands. To lower the upper basket, pull it out and push in the two locking handles after grabbing the sides with both hands.
• Page 14: Loading the dishwasher involves placing plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots, and cutlery in the lower basket. The adjustable plate supports can be modified to accommodate different dish sizes. To adjust the plate supports, push them inwards before repositioning. The supports can also be folded down for easier loading of pots and bowls.
• Page 15: Loading the dishwasher The dishwasher's two adaptable power zones can be opened in two different positions or turned off. Leave the power zones open for increased water flow with pots and pans or vases and slim items. Turn the power zones off for greater spray pressure in the lower spray arm. You can adjust the lower basket for plates with a diameter of 25-31 cm by moving the adjustable plate supports. Place cutlery with the handles facing down, except for knives, and spread them out as much as possible. Ensure that spoons do not stack inside each other. The cutlery basket is best placed in the middle at the front of the lower basket. Knives and other pointed items must be placed horizontally in the dishwasher's special cutlery baskets. The cutlery basket has a fold-down section for small items or small shafts.
• Page 16: Using the dishwasher Add detergent Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. This dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water. Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also entails greater environmental impact. The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent. Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively. 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. Optimal washing and drying results are achieved by using normal detergent together with separately dispensed rinse aid and salt.
• Page 17: Using the dishwasher Open the door and press the On/Off button. Also turn on the water tap if it is turned off. Eco is always pre-selected. To select another program, press the button shown on the display until the desired program is selected. Select a program to suit the type of dishes and how dirty they are. Eco program is suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most effective program in terms of combined energy and water consumption. For heavily soiled dishes with a lot of grease, a program with higher temperatures should be used. Universal program is effective for daily use for slightly dried leftovers. Intensive program has a high temperature for dissolving grease on very dirty dishes. Quick program is fast and effective for slightly dried leftovers. The Auto door open option is important for ensuring the best drying results. When combined with Speed, the program is shortened to 60 minutes.
• Page 18: Using the dishwasher Time program: The program adapts to the specified running time or finish time. Choose a time suited to how dirty the dishes are. Hygiene: This program is ideal for high hygiene demands, e.g., for baby bottles and cutting boards. Rinse and hold: Used to rinse dishes while waiting for the dishwasher to become fully loaded. Self-cleaning: A program for hygienic cleaning of the dishwasher tub, spray arms, and spray pipes. Anti-odour: This program prevents bad odours from dirty dishes left in the dishwasher. Select program mode: Scroll through the available program modes. Speed: The program time is shortened, but the dishwasher uses more energy. Night: Lower noise level during the dishwashing program; the program time is extended.
• Page 19: Using the dishwasher Select option Available options are dimly lit. The options glow brighter when activated. Auto door open The dishwasher door opens automatically, which shortens the program time and improves the drying results. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program has ended and the dishes have cooled before unloading. The drying time of the Auto door open option varies depending on the model, program, and temperature of the final rinse. For the best drying results, do not close the door before the drying phase has finished. The dishwasher door must not be blocked or closed when opened automatically. Wait at least 5 minutes before closing the door. Delayed start When you select Delayed start, the dishwasher will start 1-24 hours after you have pressed Start/Stop. If you want to cancel the Delayed start option, open the door then press and hold for three seconds. Stopping or changing a program If you want to change the program after starting the dishwasher, open the door then press and hold for three seconds.

Blue - Load more: The program has started, but you can still load more dishes. Red - Do not load: You should not load more dishes (risk of poorer dishwashing result). A flashing light indicates that the door has been opened while a program is in progress. Green - Unload: The dishwashing program is finished. If the dishwasher is turned off due to a power failure when a dishwashing program is running, the program continues when power is restored. The end of the program is indicated by one short signal from the buzzer. The end of the program is indicated by the status light turning green. Once the dishwasher door is opened and the program has finished, Program done appears on the display. The dishwasher switches off automatically after the program ends.
• Page 21: Using the dishwasher The best drying results Fully load the dishwasher. Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. Top up with rinse aid or increase the rinse aid dosage setting. Activate the Auto door open option. Allow the dishes to cool before unloading the dishwasher. Unloading the dishwasher Hot porcelain is more fragile. Leave the dishes to cool in the dishwasher before unloading them. Unload the lower basket first to avoid any water drops from the upper basket falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.
