Important safety instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING!
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

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

• When loading items to be washed:
  – locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, and
  – load sharp knives with the 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 the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

• Do not tamper with controls.

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

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

• 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. If the hot water system has not been used for two weeks, before using the dishwasher 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 flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

• Read the grounding instructions in the installation instructions.

General

• Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of the home.
• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.
• Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.

WARNING!
This product may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm.
Child safety
TIP!
Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are corrosive, so always keep them out of reach of children.

• Should a child swallow dishwasher detergent or rinse aid, give plenty to drink immediately, i.e., one or two glasses of milk or water. Do not try to induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately: Call the National Capital Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222.
• Always close the door and start the dishwasher as soon as you put in the detergent.
• Always keep small children away from the machine when it is open. There may be some detergent residue left inside the machine.
• If dishwasher detergent gets in someone’s eyes, rinse them with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

Activate child lock (Kid Safe™)
You can activate the child lock (button lock) to prevent children from starting the dishwasher (see the section Settings).

Winter storage/Transport

• Store the dishwasher where the temperature remains above freezing.
• Avoid long transport distances in very cold weather.
• Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its back.

Overflow guard function
The overflow protection starts pumping out the machine and turns off the water supply if the water level in the dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If the overflow protection is triggered, turn off the water supply and call the Customer Care Center.
Care and maintenance instructions
When cleaning the edge around the door, use only a slightly damp cloth. Do not spray water around the edge! Moisture can make its way into the lock, which contains electrical components.
Packing material
Please sort waste materials in accordance with local guidelines.

Disposal

• When the machine has reached the end of its service life and is to be disposed of, it should immediately be made unusable. Pull out the power cable and cut it as short as possible.
• The dishwasher is manufactured and labeled for recycling.
• Contact your municipality for information about where and how your dishwasher can be recycled correctly.

Before washing for the first time

Water supply
The machine can be connected to either a hot (max. 160 °F, 70 °C) or cold water supply. We recommend a cold water supply. The water pressure should be 4.2-140 psi. See also the section Economic dishwashing in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
Program key
Some dishwashers include program keys in different languages.
Attach the program key in the appropriate language to the top of the door.

Checking water hardness
Contact the local water utility to check the water hardness in your area. This is important to determine how much detergent and rinse aid to use.
Fill with rinse aid
Use rinse aid to improve wash and dry times. Also use rinse aid to achieve clear and spotless results.

1. Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2. Carefully top up with rinse aid. Only add rinse aid to the level marked max.
3. Wipe up any spilled rinse aid around the compartment.
4. Close the lid firmly.

Refill rinse aid indicator
When the rinse aid needs topping up, the above symbol lights on the display.

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

Loading the dishwasher

Economic dishwashing
Run programs only with a full load
Wait until the dishwasher is fully loaded before running a program, this way you save energy. Use the Rinse & Hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odors while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only lightly soiled, you can select a lower temperature with certain programs. See also the section Selecting Options in the chapter Using the dishwasher.
Select a program with the option Short dry
To save energy, use Short dry. The drying result will be better if, once the program is finished, you leave the door slightly open.
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Connect to cold water…
If you use oil or electricity to heat your home.
Connect to hot water (max. 160 °F (70 °C))…
If you use district heating, solar power, or geothermal power to heat your home. Choosing a hot water connection cuts program times and reduces the dishwasher’s electricity consumption.

Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high temperatures, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Position items so they do not touch during operation. Use a short program with the lowest possible wash temperature. Select Short dry. Do not wash fragile items in the dishwasher.
Glass washed at high temperatures can develop a gray film that cannot be removed. Wash fragile glasses at a low temperature with a small amount of detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the silver can become discolored.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles may loosen.
Wood
Wooden items should only be washed in a dishwasher if marked dishwasher safe.
Aluminum
Aluminum can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminum pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost.
Plastic items
Avoid washing plastic items that cannot withstand high temperatures.

Typical load for 10 place settings

Upper basket with 10 place settings AHAM DW-1

Lower basket with 10 place settings AHAM DW-1
The baskets
The dishwasher includes a top cutlery tray, an upper basket, and a lower basket with a cutlery basket.

Top cutlery tray
The top cutlery tray accommodates cutlery, ladles, whisks, and other utensils.

Raising the top cutlery tray

1. Remove the top cutlery tray.
2. Pull the two locking handles forward on each side to raise the top cutlery tray.

Lowering the top cutlery tray

1. Remove the top cutlery tray.
2. Slide the two locking handles down and back to lower the top cutlery tray.

Upper basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and saucers in the upper basket. Place all soiled surfaces down! Place wine glasses on the wine shelf. Place knives on the knife stand, if applicable.

Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots, and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket.
Place pots and pans in the right rear of the lower basket for the best cleaning results from the two rear spray nozzles (Power Zone™ Pot & Pans), which are intended for these types of dishes.

Foldable tines
Lower the foldable tines when washing large pots.

Washing large plates
Move adjustable tines and their mounts to widen the distance between the tine rows to adapt the lower basket to plates with a diameter greater than 9 3/4″ (25 cm).
Cutlery basket
Place cutlery with the handles facing down, except for knives, and spread them out as much as possible. Ensure that spoons do not stack inside each other.
The cutlery basket is best placed in the middle at the front of the lower basket to best utilize dishwashing performance from the unique spray nozzle (Power Zone™ Cutlery), which is intended for the cutlery basket.

Using the dishwasher

WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the points down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other baskets. Fold-down section for small items
The cutlery basket has a fold-down section in the middle for small items, or small shafts, such as electric whisk attachments.

NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Add detergent

1. Prewash detergent compartment
2. Main wash detergent compartment

We recommend that you use only unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent. Using the wrong detergent could cause flooding and/or damage your dishwasher. Do not use detergent that has been wet and is clumped. Also, check the expiration date on the container.
The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. To determine the water hardness in your area, contact your local water utility or area water softening company.
The harder the water, the more detergent you may need. Refer to the chart below for the recommended detergent amounts based on water hardness. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find the correct amount. Twelve grains and higher is extremely hard water and detergent alone may not be enough. You may need to use a water softener to maximize the performance of your dishwasher.
Also, in areas with hard water (9+) you may need to wash at lower temperatures to prevent hard water deposits from forming in tank and wash system. In hard water areas, both the dishes and the machine can develop a white or gray film after a while. If this happens, run the Normal program with high temperature and two tablespoons of citric acid or commercially available dishwasher cleaner in the detergent compartment (with no dishes in the machine).

NOTE!
We recommend that you do not add prewash detergent for the program Quick.
NOTE!
If you use a dishwashing detergent with a rinse aid additive, you should not fill the rinse aid dispenser. This could cause a film on your dishes.

Recommended detergent amounts based on water hardness

Water hardness| Detergent amounts
Soft (0-3 grains per gallon)| Prewash 1 teaspoon Main wash 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons
Medium (4-8 grains per gallon)| Prewash 1 teaspoon Main wash 1 to 2 tablespoons
Hard (9+ grains)| Prewash 1 teaspoon Main wash 2 to 3 tablespoons
12 grains and higher is extremely hard water.

WARNING!
Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent is corrosive!
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Liquid hand-washing detergent must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid. There is a risk that the detergent will not be released properly if the lid is tight and cannot open correctly.
NOTE!
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs (less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher detergent instead.

3-in-1/All-in-one detergent
Read through the directions for these products carefully. If anything is unclear, contact the detergent manufacturer.
On/Left-on mode
Press and hold the On/Left-on mode button until the display lights up.
Program selection
Press the Program selector one or more times until the desired program symbol appears on the display.

Sanitation
A program that is able to deal with most household germs and particularly dirty dishware. This program uses a high final rinse temperature for good drying results and to kill germs.
NB: Do not load dishware that cannot withstand high wash or rinse temperatures.
Normal
This program is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash a full load of normally soiled dishes, such as plates, serving dishes, cups, and glasses. No options are recommended.
Heavy
Program for very dirty dishes, such as pans, casserole dishes, and oven dishes. If these dishes do not completely fill the dishwasher, you can add plates and other dishes that can withstand a Heavy wash to fill out the load.
Quick
This program is used for glasses and porcelain that is lightly soiled, such as coffee cups.
Hygiene
This program is recommended for baby bottles and cutting boards when additional sanitation is required. The temperature is high in the main and final rinse.
Delicate
If the dishes are only lightly soiled, you can select Delicate. This program is intended for glasses and porcelain that have just been used and as such do not require such a powerful program.
This program can be used for fragile dishes. Select Short dry to be extremely cautious. See also the section Fragile dishes in Chapter Loading the dishwasher.
Eco
This program is most effective in terms of combined energy and water consumption.
Upper half
You can use this program if you only have cups and glasses that need washing in the upper basket. Lightly soiled dishes can also be placed in the lower basket.
Lower half
You can use this program when you only want to wash plates and cutlery in the lower basket. Lightly soiled dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.
Rinse & Hold
Use to rinse dishes while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.

Selecting Options
To select an option, press one of the option buttons. The field under the button lights when the option is activated. The available options depend on the selected program. Once you have started the program, the options you selected are saved for the next time
you use the same program. An exception is the Delayed start option.
High temperature
Activate this option for improved dishwashing results. The machine then uses a higher temperature for the main wash.
If you want to use the lower temperature, press again so that the field under the button turns off.

You can vary the temperature as shown below:

| Sanitation:| 150 °F (65 °C) / 160 °F (70 °C)
---|---|---
| Normal:| 124 °F (51 °C) / 150 °F (65 °C)
| Heavy:| 140 °F (60 °C)/150 °F (65 °C)
| Quick:| 85 °F (30 °C) / 140 °F (60 °C)
| Delicate:| 105 °F (40 °C) / 120 °F (50 °C)
| Eco:| 130 °F (55 °C) / 140 °F (60 °C)
| Upper half:| 130 °F (55 °C) / 150 °F (65 °C)
| Lower half:| 130 °F (55 °C) / 150 °F (65 °C)

Delayed start
When you select Delayed start, the dishwasher will start 1-24 hours after you press the Start/Stop button.

1. Press the button once to activate Delayed start. Press the button several times – or hold it in – to set the desired number of hours.
2. Press Start/Stop and the dishwasher counts down 1 hour at a time and starts after the selected delay. Press and hold Start/Stop for three seconds if you want to cancel the Delayed start option.

NOTE!
Remember to press the Start/Stop button to start the program.

Start the dishwasher
Press and hold Start/Stop until the display shows (the door open symbol). This indicates that the dishwasher is ready to start.
Close the door properly, otherwise the dishwasher will not start.
The display flashes three times with the remaining time to indicate that the program has started.
NOTE!
If the machine does not start within 2 minutes of the last button press, the display returns to showing the last program run.

Time remaining
Once you have selected a program and options, the display indicates how long the program took the last time it was used. Once you have started the dishwasher, the display indicates how much program time remains. The remaining time is updated after the water for the final rinse has been heated.
This may differ somewhat from time to time depending on the temperature of the water supply, the amount of dishes, the ambient temperature, and other factors.
The time counts down while the program is running and the remainder of the program is displayed. The remaining time is displayed, e.g., 1:15, meaning that 1 minute 15 seconds of the program remains.

NOTE!
During the first run of each program, the remaining time displayed can be slightly misleading, as the dishwasher is estimating the time. When you run the program a second time, the dishwasher will calculate the remaining time based on the previous duration of the program.

Stopping or changing a program
If you want to change programs after starting the dishwasher, open the door then press and hold Start/Stop for three seconds. Add more detergent if the lid of the detergent dispenser has opened. Then choose a new program, press Start/Stop, and close the door.
Do you want to add more dishes?
Open the door. The dishwasher stops automatically. Add the dishes, close the door, and the dishwasher resumes the program.
If the dishwasher is turned off using the On/Left-on mode button or due to a power failure
If the program was not finished, the interrupted program resumes when power is restored.

NOTE!
During drying, the program is interrupted if the power is cut or the door is open for more than 2 minutes.
Once the program has finished
Once the program has finished, “End” appears on the display.
At the end of the program, one short signal will sound. Chapter Settings describes how to change this function. Once the cycle is complete, the dishwasher uses standby power only.
