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 purpose.

• Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them

out of the reach of children.

• When loading items to be washed:

– position 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 safe” or the equivalent. For
plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s 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 of the dishwasher when removing the dishwasher from service or discarding
it (so that children cannot become trapped inside).

• Read the grounding instructions in the installation instructions.

FCC declaration of conformity

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this
device does not cause harmful interference.

FCC radiation exposure statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 8“ (20 cm) between
the radiator and your body.

WARNING!

• The dishwasher is equipped with a UVC light source.

• A damaged or defective UVC light source may only be replaced by the manufacturer's

Customer Care Center or someone similarly professionally qualified.

Before washing for the first time

Water hardness

In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral
content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher.

Checking water hardness

Water hardness is specified using German degrees of water hardness (°dH), French degrees of
water hardness (°fH), English degrees of water hardness (°eH), millimoles per liter (mmol/l), or grains
per gallon (gr/gal).

A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/l / 5.9 gr/gal) must
be softened. This is done automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener. In order for the
water softener to function properly, its settings must be adjusted to the hardness of the water supply.
Once you have adjusted the water softener settings, add detergent and rinse aid in doses suitable
for soft water.

Contact the local water utility to check the water hardness in your area.

Make a note of the water hardness:____________

Recommended settinggr/galmmol/l°eH°fH°dH

00.0-5.90.0-0.90-60-90-5

16.0-8.91.0-1.47-1010-146-8

842.0-51.97.1-8.850-6171-8840-49

952.08.9628950

If the water hardness exceeds 50°dH (89°fH / 62°eH / 8.9 mmol/l / 52.0 gr/gal), we recommend
connecting an external water softener.

WARNING!

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. See Water hardness.

Never run the dishwasher with an empty salt compartment if the water supply has a water hardness
in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/l / 5.9 gr/gal).

Adjusting the water softener. Select a setting depending on
the hardness of the water supply. It is important that this
setting is correct.

For a water supply with a hardness above 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH
/ 0.9 mmol/l / 5.9 gr/gal), fill with salt.

For a water supply with a hardness below 6°dH (10°fH /
7°eH / 1.0 mmol/l / 6.0 gr/gal), select 0. The water softener
is deactivated and no salt needs to be added.

Activate this setting when using an all-in-one detergent that
contains rinse aid.

This setting reduces the rinse aid dosage and affects how
often the dishwasher's built-in softener is regenerated.

Activate this setting if you want to use automatic detergent
dosing.

The exact dosage depends on which program is running.
For the Auto program, the dosage also depends on how
dirty the dishes are.

To change the chosen setting, see the chapter Settings.

Lift up to open

Press to close

Before washing for the first time

Add rinse aid

Fill up the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid if you have selected Rinse aid 1 - 5.

1. Open the rinse aid compartment lid.

2. Carefully fill up with rinse aid to the level marked MAX.

3. Wipe up any spilled rinse aid around the compartment.

4. Close the lid firmly.

Add salt

For a water supply with a hardness above 5 °dH (9 °fH / 6 °eH / 0.9 mmol/l), fill with salt.

Add salt to the salt compartment if you have selected Water hardness 1 - 9.

1. Remove the salt compartment lid by turning it counterclockwise.

2. Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt compartment top-up hole. Before
washing for the first time, pour in about 0.3 gal (1 l) of water. (Water is only needed the first time.)

3. Add enough salt to fill the salt compartment (max. 750 gram (26 oz)). Use special dishwasher
salt.

4. Wipe off excess salt and turn the lid clockwise to the closed position.

WARNING!

In order to avoid rust stains, a dishwashing program must be started immediately after adding
salt.

Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt compartment. This destroys the water softener!

9

Lift up to open

Before washing for the first time

Add auto dose

Fill the automatic dosing compartment with dishwasher detergent gel if you have activated the Auto
dose setting.

1. Open the lid of the automatic dosing compartment for dishwasher detergent gel.

2. Carefully add dishwasher detergent gel to the level marked MAX.

3. Clean up any excess dishwasher detergent gel outside the compartment.

4. Close the lid firmly.

NOTE!

Use only dishwasher detergent gel in the automatic dosing compartment! Do not use dishwasher
detergent powder. Liquid hand-washing detergent must not be used as the foam that forms
prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively.

Some thick dishwasher detergent gels are not suitable for the automatic dosing compartment.
Add very thick dishwasher detergent gel to the manual detergent compartment. See the detergent
manufacturer's recommendations.

Dishwasher detergent gel has a milder formula than dishwasher detergent powder or all-in-one
detergent with bleaching agent. This means that dishwasher detergent gel may prove less effective
at removing stains caused by, for example, lipstick and tea/coffee. If necessary, on such occasions
dishwasher detergent powder or all-in-one detergent with bleaching agent can be added to the
manual detergent compartment (when Auto dose is activated). See Add detergent.

Dishwasher detergent gel dispensing

Dishwasher detergent gel is dispensed during the main wash for all programs except Self-cleaning.
A little extra dishwasher detergent gel is also dispensed during the prewash in the following programs:

Normal , Auto, Light, Intensive, Time (2:00, 2:30)

10

Greener dishwashing

Save energy and water

When using a dishwasher in a residential setting, less energy and water are generally used compared
to washing the dishes by hand.

Do not rinse under running water

Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water
consumption. Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.

Choose a green detergent

Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!

Too much detergent, rinse aid and salt can result in less effective dishwashing and lead to a greater
environmental impact.

Run a fully loaded dishwasher

Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running a program. Use the
Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odors.

You can also use the Anti-odor program to prevent bad odors from dirty dishes left in the dishwasher.

Run programs at a lower temperature

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

Select dishwashing program – Eco

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

Select program mode – Green

The dishwasher has different program modes. To save energy and water, use Green. (Available
with: Normal )

Select option – Automatic door opening

Better drying results are achieved if you use the Automatic door opening option, which automatically
opens the dishwasher door. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program has ended and the
dishes have cooled before unloading the dishwasher.

Connect to cold water

Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity, or
gas.

Connect to hot water

Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 140 °F (60 °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 reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.

NOTE!

Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware
cannot withstand high temperatures. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.

11

Loading the dishwasher

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, China, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin,
aluminum, wood, and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.

China

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 using the gentle dishwashing program Crystal . 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.

In order to avoid marks and tarnishing, separate dishes made from different metals, such as silver,
stainless steel, and aluminum.

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.

Loading affects the results

Load the dishes carefully to ensure the best washing and drying results with the lowest possible
energy and water consumption. Give your dishwasher the best chance to reach and clean all surfaces,
as well as to dry the dishes as thoroughly as possible.

• 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.

Using the dishwasher

Add detergent

You have two options for adding detergent – manual or automatic. To activate Auto dose, see the
chapter Settings. The manual detergent compartment can be used as a supplement even when
Auto dose is activated (e.g. for dishwasher detergent with bleaching agent or if the automatic dosing
compartment is empty).

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.

Do not add detergent to the manual detergent compartment when using automatic detergent dosing!
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also entails greater environmental
impact.

Manual detergent compartment

The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent.

If powder or liquid dishwasher detergent is used, add a small amount of the detergent to the
compartment for prewash 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.

All-in-one detergent

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.

NOTE!

Optimal washing and drying results are achieved by using normal dishwasher detergent together
with separately dispensed rinse aid and salt.

Contact the detergent manufacturer if you have questions about the detergent.

results. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program has ended and the dishes have cooled
before unloading the dishwasher.

The drying time of the Automatic door opening option varies (from 5 to 90 minutes) depending on
the model, program, and temperature of the final rinse.

The Automatic door opening option is pre-selected for some programs.

The status light at the bottom on the dishwasher provides information by means of 3 different colors.

Blue - Load more

The program has started, but you can still load more dishes.

Red - Do not load

You should not load more dishes (can result in poor dishwashing).

Green - Unload

The dishwashing program is finished. The status light stays on for 30 minutes.

Flashing red

A flashing light indicates that the door has been opened while a program is in progress. If it flashes
when the door is closed, an error has occurred. See the chapter Troubleshooting.

Using the dishwasher

Power failure

If the dishwasher is turned off due to a power failure when a dishwashing program is running, the
program continues when power is restored. If the power is lost during drying, the program is
interrupted.

If the dishwashing program was remote started and has not ended, the program will continue once
the power is restored. You can monitor the dishwasher using the ConnectLife app and remote stop
the program, although you will not be able to remote start it again.

If you open the door for more than 2 minutes during drying, the program will be interrupted.

Once the program has finished

The end of the program is indicated by one short signal from the buzzer. The chapter Settings
describes how to change this function.

Moreover, 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.

To minimize the risk of leaks, we recommend that you turn off the water supply valve if away from
home for an extended period of time.

The best drying results

• Fully load the dishwasher.

• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important

for plastic items.

• Fill up the rinse aid compartment or increase the rinse aid dosage setting.

• Activate the Automatic door opening 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.

Framed

cabinetry

Installation instructions

NOTE!

Framed cabinets require additional finished filler material behind the face frame for a proper
installation. A minimum 3½” (89 mm) finished return is required on all sides of the opening.

If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding furnishings must be resistant to any condensation from
the dishwasher.

Accessory

Buy an accessory kit for freestanding installation (two side panels, a countertop, and two anti-tip
brackets). If the dishwasher is placed so that one of the sides is visible, side panels must be fitted.
If the dishwasher is completely freestanding, both side panels, a countertop, and anti-tip brackets
must be fitted. Accessories can be purchased from where you bought the dishwasher.

Fit the protective film

Mount the protective film beneath the countertop and up around the edge. The function of the
protective film is to protect the countertop from moisture. (The protective film is in the enclosed
plastic bag.)

NOTE!

The surface to which the protective film is fitted must be clean and dry.

Max. 373/8'' (950 mm)

Installation instructions

Drain connection

This dishwasher is suitable for installing in a raised recess (to obtain 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 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'' (14 mm).

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 joints and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of
at least 1/2'' (14 mm).

No part of the drain hose may be more than 37 3/8'' (950 mm) above the bottom of the dishwasher.

Attach the drain hose with a hose clamp. Ensure that the drain hose has no kinks.

No external air gap is necessary, as the dishwasher is already equipped with an internal air gap.

55

Installation instructions

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. 140 °F (60 °C)) water supply. The
water pressure should be 4.2-140 psi (0.03-1.0 MPa).

Connect to cold water

Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity, or
gas.

Connect to hot water

Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 140 °F (60 °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 reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.

NOTE!

Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware
cannot withstand high temperatures. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.

Electrical connection

Information about the electrical connection can be found on the serial number plate. This specification
must match the electricity supply.

The power outlet for the appliance shall be installed in a cabinet or on a wall adjacent to the
undercounter space in which the appliance is to be installed. Do not use an extension cord for this
appliance.

The access hole for the electrical supply must be round and smooth and no bigger than 1 1/2''
(38 mm) in diameter. If the partition is metal, it needs to be covered with an edge protector.

Use caution when the appliance is installed or removed to reduce the likelihood of damage to the
power cord.

Grounding instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a power cord fitted with an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate power outlet that is installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING!

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it does
not fit the power outlet, have an appropriate power outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
