Read the directions of use before starting to use your machine, especially the Safety, Child Safety and Basic Course sections.

Take care with cer tain materials

Read the section ‘Fragile dishes’ before washing china with unglazed decoration or other household goods made of plastic, wood or crystal requiring careful treatment.

Check the door

Check that the door of the dishwasher fits properly: open the door a little and let it go. Does it stay exactly where you released it? If not, you should check the installation instructions or consult the installer.

Check water hardness level

Phone your local W ater Board to chec k the water hardness in your area. This is important when dispensing dishwasher detergent and rinse aid.

Machine with water softener

Once you know the water hardness, you can set the water softener , see Settings. Before you start dishwashing, you must also fill with salt, see Salt.

Safety

General

• Read and keep the directions for use!

• Installation of water , drainage and electricity must be carried out by a qualified professional.

• Do not use the dishwasher for any purposes other than those stated in these directions for use.

• Do not load the dishwasher door or the dishwasher baskets with anything other than dishes.

• Only use dishwasher detergent!

• Place knives and other sharp objects so that they cannot cause injury to people or damage the dishwasher.

Winter storage/Transport

Store the machine away from frost. Avoid long journeys in extreme cold. Transport the machine in an upright position or lying on its back.

Overfill protection

The overfill protection starts pumping out water and closes off the water intake if the machine’s water level exceeds the normal level. If the overfill protector starts up, shut off the water supply and phone for service. See also ‘Troubleshooting’ on pages 23-25.

Cleaning

Only use a slightly damp cloth for cleaning around the edge of the door. Do not use a spray bottle! W ater can penetrate into the lock and come into contact with the electrical components.

Packaging materials

Sort at source in accordance with the recommendations of your local authority.

Scrapping

When the time comes for the machine to be scrapped, it should immediately be rendered unusable. Remove the plug and cut off the lead as short as possible. Contact the refuse collection department or your local authority for information on the correct way to dispose of the dishwasher! The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling.

Basic Course

Below are step by step instructions to help you achieve the best possible dishwashing results.

Load the baskets correctly!

Your dishwasher is equipped with Super Cleaning System™. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before washing.

Simply remove large f ood particles and debris. Convenient and environmentally friendly!

Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and dishes in the upper basket.

NB!

Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards or downwards!

See Fragile dishes, if you want to wash articles that may be fragile.

Detergent dosage

Detergent should be dispensed in accordance with the water’ s hardness level.

Follow the dosage instructions on the detergent package. If your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener , dispense as for soft water .

Place dinner plates, side plates, serving dishes, saucepans and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket.

Stand the cutlery with handles downward and as spread out as possible. Ensure that spoons are not resting inside each other.

Do not put cutlery made of different materials, e.g. silver and stainless steel, in the same compartment (risk of stains).

Check that the spray arms are able to move freely.

Pour the dishw asher detergent into the dishwasher detergent compartment. There is one compartment for pre-wash and one for main wash, see Dispenser. Phone the dishwasher detergent manufacturer if you have any questions regarding the detergent.

CAUTION!

Protect your children!

- Dishwasher detergent is corrosive!

NB!

Only use dishwasher detergent

Detergent for washing by hand cannot be used as the build-up of foam impedes the machine’s perf ormance.
