9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

9 WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! 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 cord having an equipment-grounding conductor.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Safe Operation

Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher safe.

Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

9 CAUTION

When loading items to be washed:

■Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.

■Load knives and other sharp utensils with their 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 your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.

■Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.

Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

9 WARNING

RISK OF INJURY!

To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided.

NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

Child Safety

To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents/legal guardians to ensure the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper Care and Maintenance

9 WARNING

RISK OF EXPLOSION! 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. Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, 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 explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher for service or discarding.

To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not allow water to remain in your dishwasher systems through extended periods of freezing temperatures. Freezing temperatures can damage the water fill valve and potentially other components of your dishwasher.

NOTICE

It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the procedure to shut off the incoming water supply and the procedure to shut off the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instructions or contact your installer for more information.

Water softening system / special salt en-us

+Water softening system / special salt *

To ensure good rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. water which is low in lime, otherwise limescale will be deposited on the utensils and interior container. Tap water above 7° dH (1.2 mmol/l) must be softened. The water

is softened with special salt (regeneration salt) in the water softening system of the dishwasher. The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see following water hardness table).

* optional feature which may or may not be included with your dishwasher.

Adjusting the water softener settings

Instructions for use of included “Water Hardness Test Strip”

Only use salt designed for automatic dishwashers. Never use household water softener salt or table salt.

Follow the instructions below for the included test strip. (If purchasing a different test strip, follow manufacturers instructions).

1.Run the water at the kitchen sink for 5 minutes.

2.Dip the end of the test strip with the colored squares into the tap water for 1 second and shake off excess water.

3.After one minute, compare the test strip to the chart below and determine the Dishwasher Water Softener setting.

4.Adjust the dishwasher Water Softener setting. ~ "Adjusting the water softening system" on page 14

5.If required, add salt to the dishwasher salt chamber as shown. ~ "Using special dishwasher salt" on page 14

Adjusting the water softening system

The amount of salt dispensed can be set from •:‹‹ to •:‹ˆ. Salt is not required at the set value •:‹‹.

Set the softening system as follows:

1.Ask your local water utility company for the water hardness value of your tap water or use test strip.

2.Required setting can be found in the water hardness table.

3.Press On/Off button (.

4.Hold down function key # and press Start button P until the display 8 indicates •:‹x (x can be any number).

5.Release both buttons.

6.Press Start button P to save the setting.

The chosen setting has now been stored.

Using special dishwasher salt

As soon as the low salt indicator lights up on the digital display 8, salt should be topped off. Always refill with special salt immediately before switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun special salt solution is immediately washed out and does not corrode the rinsing tub.

NOTICE

Detergent will destroy the water softening system! Never pour detergent into the salt dispenser.

Top off the salt as follows:

1.Undo the screw plug on the dispenser 1Z.

2.Fill the dispenser with water (required only when switching on the appliance for the first time).

3.Add salt as illustrated (do not use table salt, salt tablets or salt for

use with whole house water softeners).

The water is displaced and runs out.

For more information about buying dishwasher salt, please contact

Customer Service 1-800-944-2904.

Using detergents with salt component

If combined detergents with a salt component are used, special salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH,

26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). If the water hardness is over 21° dH, salt must be used.

Switching off low salt indicator / water softening system

If the use of combined detergents with a salt component impairs the low salt indicator on the digital display 8, the low salt indicator can be switched off.

Proceed as described under “Setting water softening system” and set the value to •:‹‹. The water softening system and salt refill indicator are now switched off.

14

,Rinse Aid

.Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.

NOTICE

To avoid damage to dishwasher or dishware:

■Do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.

■Do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft water may cause etching in glassware and fine china.

■To best protect glassware, use a wash cycle with low temperatures or a specific glass-care cycle (depending on the model) and use a detergent that includes etch protection.

Detergent en-us

This dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft water,
