9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.

This dishwasher is intended for use up to a maximum altitude of 13,000 ft (4,000 meters) above sea level.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe the following:

9 WARNING

RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH! Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered in this manual or for any purpose other than those explained in the following pages.

9 WARNING

RISK OF INJURY!

Severe injury and/or product damage could result from the use of unauthorized service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by an authorized service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.

9 WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE!

Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual unless you are certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed and the dishwasher has been properly grounded.

9 WARNING

HEALTH HAZARD!

Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards!

6

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring system or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. See the Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical requirements.

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.

7

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

9 WARNING

STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNINGS! This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Causes of Damage en-us

ƒCauses of Damage
NOTICES

Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for the possible damages or consequences.

Bleach-based wipes can cause stainless-steel doors and tubs to rust.

Using harsh chemicals (e.g. bleach), abrasive cleaners, scouring pads (metal or plastic), or abrasive cloths/paper towels can damage your dishwasher’s exterior door panel, fascia panel and buttons.

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing materials or anything other than normal, dishwasher safe dishware and kitchenware.

Recommendation:

Use only glasses and porcelain which the manufacturer designates as dishwasher-safe.

Use a detergent which protects silverware.

Use less intensive wash cycles and take glass and silverware out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the wash cycle ends.

Loading the racks
For best dishwashing results, observe the following when loading the dishwasher:

Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached food soil.

Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks and excessive grease.

Pre-treat items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils.

Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the insides of bowls, pots and pans are facing the spray arms.

Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes.

Separate items of dissimilar metals. Use care to not block movement of the spray arms.

Only wash household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher-safe.

Refer to the Dishware Materials section for more information about dishware suitability.

NOTICE

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing materials or anything other than normal, dishwasher safe dishware and kitchenware.

Loading the upper rack

Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.

Note: When pushing the upper

rack 1* into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of the tub so the upper rack spray

arm 12 connects to the water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door.

.Detergent

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

NOTICE

To avoid dishwasher damage:

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.

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

1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25 ml).

3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.

Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.

Note: The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal soil sensing cycle as follows: The unit was tested without any rinse aid (liquid) in the rinse aid dispenser 9". A single dose of detergent was inserted into the detergent dispenser 9*, with no detergent being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected to truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure. We recommend that dish loads such as the one in the energy certification test have the rack position set in the highest position.

0Dishwasher Cycle

Options

* Depending on the features of your dishwasher you can select various wash cycle options H.

Delay

Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher up to 24 hours.

SpeedPerfect™*

SpeedPerfect™ is an option that allows saving time without sacrificing wash and dry performance. Selecting this option ensures the same final temperatures as the underlying cycle by starting the heat period at an earlier phase in the program. Selecting this option also increases energy consumption while reducing cycle time.

Delicate

This option’s reduced time and temperature are best for lightly soiled items with easy to remove food soils. The option also reduces the likelihood of cloudy glasses. Rinse aid is recommended for the high gloss drying function (even when using combination detergents).

Sanitize

This function increases the temperatures and retains them for an extra long time to obtain a defined disinfecting performance. Continuous use of this function increases the hygiene status. This additional option is ideal for cleaning items such as chopping boards and baby bottles.

The sanitize LED will light when sanitation requirements are met. Using the Sanitize option may also improve drying.

Extra Shine®*

Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse), the Extra

Shine® option raises the temperature and extends the drying time to further enhance drying results and provide a brilliant shine.

Extra Dry

An increased temperature during the final rinse and an extended drying phase ensure that plastic parts dry better. There is a slight increase in the energy consumption.

ExtraScrub

Perfect for a mixed load. You can wash very soiled pots and pans in the lower rack together with normally soiled utensils in the upper rack. The spray pressure in the lower rack is intensified, the rinsing temperature is increased slightly.

Wash Cycle Information

To save energy, this dishwasher has EcoSense where the sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the amount of food soil and the incoming water temperature. The “Smart Control”

makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. Wash cycle times are

based on 120°F (49° C) water supply. If your household water supply is different than 120°F (49° C), your dishwasher’s cycle times may be impacted.

1Operating the Dishwasher

Note: With hidden controls, the door must be opened before changing settings and closed after changing settings.
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.

Protection against unintentional operation

Your dishwasher is equipped with a function that helps to prevent unintentional operation (e.g. by children).

After setting the dishwasher, the dishwasher door has to be closed within 4 seconds, otherwise the operation will be paused. There will be a signal on the control panel advising you to press the Start button again and close the door.

This function will be activated when:

pressing Start to begin a wash cycle

setting Delay time and pressing Start

opening the door while Delay time is active

opening the door during a wash cycle.

Note: This function cannot be deactivated.

Operating the Dishwasher en-us

AquaSensor

The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device which measures the cleanliness of the rinse water.

The AquaSensor is used according to the wash cycle. If the AquaSensor is active, “clean” rinse water can be transferred to the next rinse and water consumption can be reduced by 0.8–1-5 gal (3–6 liters). If the rinse water is not yet clear, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In the automatic wash cycles the temperature and running time can also be adjusted to the degree of soiling.

Switching the appliance on
1.Turn the water supply on fully.
2.Open the door.

3.Press the On/Off button (. The display of the last selected wash cycle flashes. This wash cycle remains selected if no other wash cycle button 0is pressed. The expected wash cycle duration flashes on the display 8. Select any desired option.

4.Press Start button P.

Wash cycle sequence starts.

Note: Your dishwasher is protected against unintentional operation. If the appliance door remains open for more than 4 seconds after pressing the Start button, the operation will be paused. Press the Start button again and close the appliance door.
