Important safety instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING!
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in
a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
When loading items to be washed:
locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door
seal, and
– load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safeor the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturers recommendations.
Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the
dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for two weeks, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
Read the grounding instructions in the installation instructions.
WARNING!
Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are corrosive, so always keep them out of reach of children.

Activate child lock (Kid Safe)

You can activate the child lock (button lock) to prevent children from starting the dishwasher. See the chapter Settings.

Installation

See the chapter Installation instructions.

Winter storage/Transport

Store the dishwasher above freezing and avoid long transport distances in very cold weather. Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its back.

Overflow guard function

The overflow protection starts pumping out the machine and turns off the water supply if the water level in the dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If the overflow protection is triggered, turn off the water supply and call the Customer Care Center.

Packing material

The packaging protects the product during transport. The packaging material is recyclable. Separate the different packaging materials to help reduce raw material use and waste. Your dealer can take the packaging for recycling or direct you to the nearest recycling center. The packaging is comprised of:
Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recycled material.
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) with no added chlorine or fluorine.
Supports made from untreated wood.
Protective plastic made from polyethylene (PE).

General

Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of the home.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.
Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.
WARNING!
PROPOSITION 65 FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

Child safety

Always keep small children away from the machine when it is open. There may be some detergent residue left inside the machine.
Always close the door and start the dishwasher as soon as you put in the detergent.
If dishwasher detergent gets in someones eyes, rinse them with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
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: Call the National Capital Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222.

Disposal

The dishwasher is manufactured and labeled for recycling.

Loading the dishwasher

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 until the dishwasher is fully loaded before running a program, this way you save energy. Use the Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odors while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.

Run programs at a lower temperature

If the dishes are only lightly soiled, you can select a program with a low temperature.

Select ECO wash

This program is the most effective in terms of energy consumption.

Select Green mode

The dishwasher has different program modes. To save energy and water, use Green mode. (Available with: Normal 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 furnishings 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. 160 °F (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 strong heat.

Fragile dishes

Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high temperatures, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent.
Use caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminum, 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 program Crystal glass. Remember to use a small amount of detergent and to place items so that they do not touch each other during the wash.
Use rinse aid to improve wash and dry times. Also use rinse aid to achieve clear and spotless results.
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 discolored.

Aluminum

Aluminum can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminum 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 not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles may loosen.

Points to consider

All dirty surfaces should face in and down!
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.
Place the upper basket in its highest position when dishwashing very large plates.
Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the top cutlery tray.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.
5

The baskets

The dishwasher includes a top cutlery tray, an upper basket, and a lower basket with a cutlery basket.
The basket appearance may differ depending on the configuration.

Top cutlery tray

The top cutlery tray accommodates cutlery, ladles, whisks, and other utensils.

Raising the top cutlery tray

1. Pull out the top cutlery tray.
2. Pull the two locking handles forward on each side to raise the top cutlery tray.

Lower basket

Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots, and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket.
Place pots and pans in the rear right of the lower basket to best utilize dishwashing performance from the rear spray nozzle (WideSpray), which is intended for these types of dishes.

Lowering the top cutlery tray

1. Pull out the top cutlery tray.
2. Slide the two locking handles down and back to lower the top cutlery tray.

Upper basket

Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and saucers in the upper basket. Place all soiled surfaces down! Place wine glasses on the wine glass shelf. Place knives in the knife stand on the right.

Foldable tines

Lower the foldable tines when washing large pots. Release the foldable tines by pressing the catch inward before adjusting their position.

Washing large plates

Move adjustable tines and their mounts to widen the distance between the tine rows to adapt the lower basket to plates with a diameter greater than 9 3/4" (25 cm).

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 best placed in the middle at the front of the lower basket to best utilize dishwashing performance from the unique spray nozzle (Power Zone Cutlery), which is intended for the cutlery basket.
WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the points down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other baskets.
6

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.

Typical load

Recommended for daily, regular, or typical use.

Upper basket

Lower basket

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 adding detergent. 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! Liquid hand-washing detergent 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 cannot open correctly.
NOTE!
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs (less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher detergent instead.

All-in-one detergent

There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read through the directions for these products carefully.
NOTE!
Optimal washing and drying results are achieved by using normal dishwasher detergent together with separately dispensed rinse aid.

Drain connection

This dishwasher is suitable for installing in a raised recess (to attain an ergonomic working height). This means that the dishwasher can be placed so that the drain hose runs to a lower level than the bottom of the dishwasher, such as by routing it directly to a floor drain. The dishwasher is fitted with an integrated anti-siphon device to prevent the machine from being emptied of water during the wash cycle.

no more than 1/4'') and tighten the lock nuts on the front feet.
The drain hose can also be connected to a connection nipple on the sink unit's water trap. The connection nipple must have an internal diameter of at least 1/2''.
The drain hose may be extended by a maximum of 87" (2.2 m) (the total length of the drain hose must not exceed 177" (4.5 m)). Any joins and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 1/2''. However, the drain hose should ideally be replaced with a new hose without joins.
No part of the drain hose may be more than 37 3/8'' above the bottom of the dishwasher.
Attach the drain hose with a hose clamp. Ensure that the drain hose has no kinks.

Connection to water supply

Use only the inlet hose supplied with the dishwasher. Do not re-use old or other spare hoses.
The supply pipe must be fitted with a water supply valve. The water supply valve must be easily accessible, so that the water can be shut off if the dishwasher has to be moved.
Once the installation is complete, turn on the water supply valve and allow the pressure to settle for a while. Check that all connections are watertight.

Water supply

The machine can be connected to either a cold or a hot (max. 160 °F (70 °C)) water supply. The water pressure should be 4.2-140 psi.

This appliance is equipped with a cord fitted with an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Screwing the dishwasher into place

(Applicable only to built-in dishwashers.)
