After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes out.

NOTE!Increase the rinse aid dosage:• If the dishes have water marks.Decrease the rinse aid dosage:• If the dishes have a sticky white/blue film.• If the dishes are streaked.• Build-up of foam. If you have very soft water, the rinse aid can be

diluted 50:50 with water.

NOTE!For water with a hardness greater than 10–12 °dH, you ought to userinse aid with citric acid (known as acid rinse aid).

Loading the dishwasher

Energy-efficient dishwashingRun programs only with a full loadWait to run a program until the dishwasher is full. This way you saveenergy. Use the Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if thereare any unpleasant odours while you wait for the dishwasher to becomefully loaded.

Run programs at a lower temperatureIf the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a lowtemperature.

Select Green modeThe dishwasher has different program modes. To save energy andwater, use Green mode.

Better drying results are achieved if you open the door a little once theprogram has ended. (If the dishwasher is built-in, the surroundingcabinets must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)

Do not rinse under running waterSimply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.

Choose a green detergentRead the environmental declaration on the packaging!

Connect to cold waterConnect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building isheated using oil, electricity or gas.

Connection to hot water supplyConnect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if thebuilding is heated using an energy-efficient means such as districtheating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water con-nection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's energyconsumption.

NOTE!Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain ma-terials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat.

Fragile dishesSome cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons.Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others can be damagedby dishwashing detergent.

Exercise caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration,crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic.Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.

Fragile decorationPorcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough)should not be washed in a dishwasher.

Crystal/GlassWash fragile items made of crystal/glass, such as crystal glass fromOrrefors, using the gentle dishwashing program Crystal glass. Remem-ber to use only a small amount of detergent and to place items so thatthey do not touch each other during the wash.

By using rinse aid you will improve your drying result. You will alsoachieve 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.

SilverSilver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as thesilver can become discoloured.

AluminiumAluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, goodquality aluminium pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if someof the shine will be lost.

Cutlery with glued handlesSome types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handlesmay loosen.

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 top cutlery tray.

NOTE!Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Nominal dimensions. Actual measurements may vary.

It is important that you read through and follow the instructions anddirections below. Conduct installation and connection in accordancewith the separate installation instructions.

Safety instructions• Connections to electricity, water and drainage must be performed

by a qualified professional.• Always follow applicable regulations for water, drainage and elec-

tricity.• 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 dishwasherfills with water and drains. Check also that none of the connectionsleak.

WARNING!Turn off the water supply when installing the dishwasher!

The plug must be disconnected or power to the socket turned offwhile the work is carried out!

Setup• The dimensions and connection information are included in the

separate installation instructions. Check that all dimensions andconnections are correct before commencing the installation. Notethat the height of the exterior panel can be adjusted to match otherfittings.

• Make sure the area on which the dishwasher is to be installed isfirm. Adjust the adjustable feet so that the dishwasher is level.Tighten the lock nuts.

Drainage connectionSee the separate installation instructions for necessary information.

This dishwasher is suitable for installing in a raised recess (to attainan ergonomic working height). This means that the dishwasher can beplaced so that the drainage hose runs to a lower level than the bottomof the dishwasher, such as by routing it directly to a floor drain. Thedishwasher is fitted with an integrated anti-siphon device to preventthe machine from being emptied of water during the wash cycle.

The drainage hose can also be connected to a connection nipple onthe sink unit’s water trap. The connection nipple must have an internaldiameter of at least 14 mm.

The drainage hose may be extended by a maximum of 2.5 m (the totallength of the drainage hose must not exceed 4.5 m). Any joins andconnecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm.However, the drainage hose should ideally be replaced with a newhose without joins.

No part of the drainage hose may be more than 950 mm above thebottom of the dishwasher.

Ensure that the drainage hose has no kinks.

Connection to water supplyUse only the inlet hose supplied with the dishwasher. Do not re-useold or other spare hoses.

The supply pipe must be fitted with a water tap (stopcock). The watertap must be easily accessible, so that the water can be shut off if thedishwasher has to be moved.

Once the installation is complete, turn on the water tap and allow thepressure to settle for a while. Check that all connections are watertight.

Connection to cold water supplyConnect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building isheated using oil, electricity or gas.

Connection to hot water supplyConnect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if thebuilding is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district

heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water con-nection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's energyconsumption.

NOTE!Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain ma-terials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat. SeeFragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.

NOTE!Connecting a dishwasher to the water supply via certain types ofpressure limiting valves may restrict the water supply!

This may cause the error message Water inlet fault to be displayed.

Electrical connectionInformation about the electrical connection can be found on the com-pliance 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 areato be easily accessible after installing the dishwasher. Do not use anextension cord!

NOTE!Repairs and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified profes-sional.
