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.

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!

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

Using special dishwasher salt
As soon as the low salt indicator
lights up on the digital display @,
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.
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
Detergent with a 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.
NOTICE
Detergent will destroy the water
softening system! Never pour
detergent into the salt dispenser.

The Double Flex silverware basket
This basket splits along its length,
resulting in two halves that may be
placed in a variety of positions in the
lower rack 9", greatly increasing
the lower rack’s loading versatility.
The basket snaps together either
side by side or back to back.
To split the Double Flex silverware
basket:
Grasp the basket and slide the two
halves in opposite directions and
then pull the two halves apart.
Side by side
Back to back
To assemble the Double Flex

silverware drawer that should
accommodate most silverware
loading needs.
However, if you are washing while the
silverware drawer has been removed,
or with excess silverware, a
