WARNING

Risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury

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.

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.

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.

WARNING

HEALTH HAZARD Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher.

Some bleach-based products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards!

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

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

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

Proper Care and Maintenance

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.

State of California Proposition 65 Warning:

WARNING

This product can expose you to chemicals including vinyl chloride, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

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.

Note: 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.

Remote diagnosis

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).

Using special salt

As soon as the low salt indicator P lights up on the digital display, salt should be topped off. Refilling the salt dispenser should be done before switching on the appliance. This ensures that extra salt water is washed out and will not corrode the rinsing tank.

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

Top off the salt as follows:

Undo the screw plug on the dispenser 1b.

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

Add salt as illustrated (do not use table salt or tablets).

The water is displaced and runs out.

Using a water hardness test strip

The strip will be included in the use and care kit.

Sample test strip

Adjusting the water softening system

The amount of salt dispensed can be set from 0 to 62°E. Salt is not required at the set value 0-8.

Ask your local water utility company for the water hardness value of the tap water.

Required setting can be found in the water hardness table.

Open the door.

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.

Switching off low salt indicator / water softening system

If the use of combined detergents with a salt component impairs the low salt indicator P on the control panel or the text on the display window at the top salt for x rinse cycles), the displays can be switched off.

Proceed as described under “Setting water softening system” and set the value to 0-8. The water softening system and salt refill indicator are now switched off.

there are streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) visible on the utensils.

Switching off rinse aid refill indicator

If the use of combined detergents with a rinse aid component impairs the low rinse aid indicator H on the control panel (enough rinse aid for x rinse cycles), the displays can be switched off.

Proceed as described under “Setting amount of rinse aid” and select setting 0.

NOTICE: Using no rinse aid or setting the dispenser to 0 may result in longer cycle times consuming more energy and water. The higher temperatures can damage fine china or glassware.

Close the lid. Lid must be fully closed until it clicks in order to seal.

Wipe up any excess rinse aid that may have puddled when the dispenser reservoir is full.

This prevents excessive frothing during the next wash cycle. The indicator light will go out a few moments after the dishwasher door is shut.

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.

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.

Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in the following table.

Dishwasher Cycle Options

PowerBoost ®

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.

Save Time

Save Time 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, while heating up the dishes more quickly. Selecting this option also increases energy consumption while reducing cycle time.

Half Load

Can reduce water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half or less of the dishwasher’s capacity.

Sanitize

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.

“Sanitized” will appear in the display window when sanitation requirements are met. Using the Sanitize option may also improve drying. There is a slight increase in energy consumption.
