NOTE!
For water with a hardness greater than 10–12 °dH, you ought to use
rinse aid with citric acid (known as acid rinse aid).
Greener dishwashing
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!
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 and hold program to rinse the dishes if there
are any unpleasant odours while youwait for the dishwasher to become
fully loaded.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low
temperature.
Select ECO wash
Use when you want to save water and energy. Fornormally soiled load,
such as plates, serving dishes, cups, glasses and so on.
This dishwashing program is designed for an effective wash using as
little energy and water as possible. The program washes at a low
temperature for a long time.
Select Green mode
The dishwasher has different program modes. To save energy and
water, use Green mode. (Available with: Heavy wash, Sanitation wash)
Open the door a little once the program has finished
Better drying results are achieved if you open the door a little once the
program has ended. (If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding
cabinets must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is
heated using oil, electricity or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the
building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district
heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water connection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's energy
consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat.

Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. Thiscan be for several reasons.
Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others can be damaged
by dishwashing detergent.
Exercise caution with, for example, handmadeitems, fragile decoration,
crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic.
Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough)
should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Wash fragile items made of crystal/glass, such as crystal glass from
Orrefors, using the gentle dishwashing programCrystal glass. Remember to use only a small amount of detergent and to place items so that
they do not touch each other during the wash.
By using rinse aid you will improve your drying result. You will also
achieve a better dishwashing result with glassware and dishes.
Hand-painted glassware, as well as antique and very fragile items,
should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the
silver can become discoloured.
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.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are notdishwasher safe. In such cases, thehandles
may loosen.
Points to consider
• All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!
• Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water
will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
• Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket;
place them in the top cutlery tray.

and a lower basket with a cutlery basket.
The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher

Using the dishwasher
Press to open
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.
The detergent compartment must be dry when addingdetergent. There
is one compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If
powder or liquid dishwasher detergent is used, add a small amount
of the detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact the detergent
manufacturer if you have questions about the detergent.
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 orliquid dishwasher detergent instead.
All-in-one detergent
There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read the
directions for these products carefully.
