Before washing for the first time
Program key
Some dishwashers include program keys in different languages. Attach the program key in the desired language to the top of the door.
Checking water hardness
Contact the local water utility to check the water hardness in your area. This is important with regard to how much detergent and rinse aid to use.
Top up with rinse aid
By using rinse aid you will improve your drying result. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with glassware and dishes.
1 Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2Carefully top up with rinse aid. Only add rinse aid to the level marked max.
3 Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment.
4 Close the lid firmly.
Refill rinse aid indicator
When the rinse aid needs topping up, the above symbol lights on the display.
NOTE!
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes out.
Setting the rinse aid dosage
The section Settings describes how to set the rinse aid dosage. Rinse aid dispensing can be set from 
(Off) to 
(High dose). (Factory settings: 
)
Increase the rinse aid dosage:
• If the dishes have water marks.
Decrease the rinse aid dosage:
•If the dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
•If the dishes are streaked.
•Build-up of foam. If you have very soft water, the rinse aid can be diluted 50:50 with water.
For water with a hardness greater than 10–12 °dH, you ought to use rinse aid with citric acid (known as acid rinse aid).
Loading the dishwasher
Economic dishwashing
Run programs only with a full load
Wait to run a program until the dishwasher is full. This way you save energy. Use the Rinse & Hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a lower temperature with certain programs. See also the section Selecting Options in the chapter Using the dishwasher.
Select a program with the option Short dry
To save energy, use Short dry. The drying result will be better if, once the program is finished, you leave the door slightly open.
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Connect to cold water...
If you use oil or electricity to heat your home.
Connect to hot water (max. 70 °C)...
If you use district heating, solar power or geothermal power to heat your home. Choosing a hot water connection cuts program times and reduces the dishwasher's electricity consumption.
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others can be damaged by dishwashing detergent.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Place items so that they do not touch each other during the wash. Use a short program with the lowest possible wash temperature. Select Short dry. Delicate and very fragile items should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Glassware washed in a dishwasher at high temperatures can gradually develop a grey film that cannot be removed. Wash fine glassware at a low temperature and with a small amount of detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the silver can become discoloured.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles may loosen.
Wood
Wooden items should only be washed in a dishwasher if marked dishwasher safe.
Aluminium
Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminium pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost.
Plastic items
Avoid washing plastic items that cannot withstand high temperatures.

The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with an upper basket and a lower basket with cutlery basket.
The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher setup.
Upper basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards! Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right (if fitted).
Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket.
Cutlery basket
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 placed in the lower basket.
WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the points down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other baskets.
Fold-down section for small items
The cutlery basket has a fold-down section in the middle for small items, or small shafts, such as electric whisk attachments.

Using the dishwasher
Add detergent
1 Prewash detergent compartment
2 Main wash detergent compartment
Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also entails greater environmental impact.
Add the detergent to the detergent compartment. There is a compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If powder and liquid dishwasher detergents are used, add a small amount of the detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact the detergent manufacturer if you have any questions about the detergent.
WARNING!
Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent is corrosive!
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid. There is a risk that the detergent will not be released properly if the lid is tight and will not open correctly.
NOTE!
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs (less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher detergent instead.
3–in–1/All-in-one detergent
Read through the directions for these products carefully. If anything is unclear, contact the detergent manufacturer.

Normal

For washing normally soiled mixed loads, with the best energy and water performance, use the Normal; low temperature, short drying (no options).
If you want to improve the dishwashing and drying result activate
the options high temperature

Eco
Use when you want to save water. For normally dirty dishes.
Rinse & Hold
Used to rinse dishes while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.
Selecting Options
To select an option, press one of the option buttons. The field under the button lights when the option is activated. The available options depend on the selected program. Once you have started the program, the options you selected are saved for the next time
