1. Checking 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.
Water hardness is specified using the German water hardness scale
(°dH) or the French water hardness scale (°fH).
A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 4°dH (6°fH) must
be softened. This is done automatically with the aid of the built-in water
softener. In order for the water softener to function optimally, it must
be adjusted to the hardness of the water supply. Once you have adjusted the water softener, use detergent and rinse aid doses suitable
for soft water.
Contact your local water supplier, or measure the water hardness using
the supplied test strip, to check the water hardness in your area.
How to use the test strip:
1 Turn on the water tap and let the water run for a minute or so.
2 Fill a glass with water.
3 Remove the test strip from its packaging.
4 Dip the test strip in the water for about one second.
5 Wait one minute. Now compare the colours of the squares with the
water hardness table.

chapter Using the dishwasher.
Pre-selected at factory: 5
Make a note of the water hardness:____________
If the water hardness exceeds 20°dH (36°fH),we recommend connecting an external water softener.
WARNING!
Hard water leaves a white coatingon 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 4°dH (6°fH).
Top up rinse aid
1 Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2 Carefully top up with rinse aid to the level marked max.

Top up salt
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.
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.
1 Unscrew the salt compartment lid.
2 Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt compart-
ment top-up hole. First, pour in about 1 l of water.
3 Then add salt, a maximum of 1.0 kg, until the compartment is full.
4 Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed on firmly.
In order to avoid rust stains a dishwashing program must be started
immediately after adding salt.
To change the chosen setting, see the chapter Settings.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat.
5
Page 6
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.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with an upper basket and a lower basket
with a 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.
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 cutlery basket.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.
Raising the upper basket
1 Pull out the upper basket.
2 Grab the sides of the upper basket with both hands and lift it up.
Lowering the upper basket
1 Pull out the upper basket.
2 Pull out the two locking handles on either side to lower the upper
basket.
Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots and cutlery (in the cutlery
basket) in the lower basket.
Place pots or pans in the right-hand rear part of the lower basket for
the best cleaning performance from the rear spray nozzle
(WideSpray™), which is intended for these types of dishes.

Lower the foldable tines (plate supports) when washing pots andpans.
Release the foldable tines bypressing the catch inwards before adjusting their position.
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.
Cutlery basket with lid
The cutlery basket lid can be removed and used, for example, as an
extra cutlery basket in the upper basket (see below).
Washing large plates
Move the foldable tines and theirmounts to widen the distance between
the tine rows to adapt the lower basket toplates with a diameter greater
than 25 cm.
Accessory
Buy a wine glass shelf with space for six tall3)wine glasses. The wine
glass shelf is designed to ensure optimal washing and drying results
with tall wine glasses. The wine glass shelfis placed in the rear section
of the lower basket. This accessory is available where you bought the
dishwasher.
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 achieve the best dishwashing performance from the unique
spray nozzle (Power Zone Cutlery™), which is intended for the cutlery
basket.
Accessory
Buy an extra cutlery basket. The extra cutlery basket is flexible and
can be dismantled and attachedto the lower basket or the large cutlery
basket to make an extra large cutlery basket. This accessory is available where you purchased your dishwasher.
WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the points down
in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other baskets.

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. This dishwasher
is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent and rinse aid doses
suitable for soft water.
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.
When using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid, you can
activate the setting TAB. Note that the salt compartment must be filled
with salt.
NOTE!
Optimum washing and drying results are achieved by using normal
dishwasher detergent together with separately dispensed rinse aid
and salt.

Safety instructions
• Connections to electricity, water and drainage must be performed
by a qualified professional.
• Always follow applicable regulations for water, drainage and electricity.
• Take care during installation! Wear protective gloves! There must
always be two people!
• Before screwing the dishwasher into place, test the dishwasher by
running the Rinse and hold program. Check that the dishwasher
fills with water and drains. Check also that none of the connections
leak.
WARNING!
Turn off the water supply when installing the dishwasher!
The plug must be disconnected or power to the socket turned off
while the work is carried out!
Transport protection for the door
Do not forget to remove the transport protection for the door when unpacking the dishwasher.
Placing the dishwasher
The dishwasher can be installed built-in, completely freestanding or
partially built-in.
A. Built-in
The dishwasher is intended for installation under a worktop. The recess
dimensions are illustrated. Holes for wires/cables need not be larger
than 38 mm in diameter. Make sure the edges of such holes are even
to prevent damage to the drainage and inlet hoses and the power cable.
20
Page 21
If the dishwasher is built-in the surrounding cabinetry must be resistant
413
2x
24 mm
16 mm
to any condensation from the dishwasher.
B. Freestanding
A freestanding dishwasher must be fitted with anti-tip brackets. This
comprises two brackets, which are screwed into place as illustrated.
The dishwasher is then pushed inso that the brackets engage the rear
feet. Now the dishwasher will not topple if pressure is put on the open
door. If the dishwasher is installed completely on its own, side panels
and a worktop must both be fitted. Accessories can be purchased
where you bought the dishwasher.
WARNING!
A completely freestanding dishwasher must be fitted with anti-tip
brackets.
Adjust the height and slide the dishwasher into place
1 Start by measuring the height from the floor to the bottom edge of
the worktop.
2 Measure the height from the floor to the top edge of the dishwasher.
3 Lean the dishwasher forwards a little and roughly adjust the rear
foot by turning the adjustment screw at the front clockwise to raise
and anticlockwise to lower the dishwasher (see illustration below).
Use a broad screwdriver or a socket screwdriver.
4
5 Adjust the front feet byturning them clockwise to raise andanticlock-
wise to lower the dishwasher.
C. Partially built-in
If the dishwasher is located so that one of its sides is visible, a side
panel must be fitted. Accessories canbe purchased where you bought
the dishwasher.
Affix the protective film
Attach the protective film (packed in the document bag) to the underside of the worktop. The protective film is to protect the worktop from
moisture.
NOTE!
The surface to which the protective film is affixed must be clean and
dry.
6 Check that there is an air gap of at least 3 mm between the under-
side of the worktop and the top edge of the dishwasher.
7 Slide the dishwasher into place.
• Pull through the drainage and supply hoses when the machine
is slid into place.
• Check that the hoses have no kinks or sharp bends, and check
that there is nothing that can damage the hoses.
8 Make any final adjustments to the feet (the dishwasher may lean
no more than 5 mm) and tighten the lock nuts on the front feet.

Drainage connection
min.
14 mm
Max. 950 mm
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 drainage 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.
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. See
Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
NOTE!
The water pressure must be between 0.03 and 1.0 MPa.
Connecting a dishwasher to the water supply via certain types of
pressure limiting valves may restrict the water supply! This may cause
the error message “Water inlet fault” to be displayed.
If the water pressure is higher than 1.0 MPa a pressure limiting valve
must be fitted.
Electrical connection
Information about the electrical connection can be found on the compliance plate. This specification must match the electricity supply.
The dishwasher must be connected to an earthed wall socket.
The electric wall socket must be placed outside of the installation area
to be easily accessible after installing the dishwasher. Do not use an
extension cord!
The dishwasher must be connected to residual current devices as per
the relevant safety regulations.
The drainage 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 14 mm.
The drainage hose may be extended by a maximum of 2.5 m (the total
length of the drainage hose must not exceed 4.5 m). Any joins and
connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm.
However, the drainage hose should ideally be replaced with a new
hose without joins.
No part of the drainage hose may be more than 950 mm above the
bottom of the dishwasher.
Attach the drainage hose with a hose clamp. Ensure that the drainage
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 tap (stopcock). The water
tap 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 tap and allow the
pressure to settle for a while. Check that all connections are watertight.
Connection to cold water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is
heated using oil, electricity or gas.

NOTE!
Repairs and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified professional.
