5

WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the points down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other baskets.
WARNING!
Children must be supervised ­ dishwasher detergent is corrosive!
Installation
See the chapter Installation.
Overflow guard function
The overflow guard 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 guard is triggered, F54 (Overfilling water) appears on the display. Turn off the water tap and contact your nearest service centre. (To avoid water leakage outside the dishwasher, do not remove the plug from the wall socket until the water tap on the supply line has been turned off!)
Winter storage/transport
Store the dishwasher above freezing and avoid long transport distances in very cold weather. Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its back.
Before transporting a used dishwasher, or before prolonged storage, water must first be removed from the machine.
Packaging
The outer packaging protects the product during transport. The packaging material is recyclable. Separate the different packaging materials to help reduce raw material use and waste. Your dealer can take the packaging for recycling or direct you to the nearest recycling centre. The packaging is comprised of:
· Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recycled material. · Expanded polystyrene (EPS) with no added chlorine or fluorine. · Supports made from untreated wood. · Protective plastic made from polyethylene (PE).
Disposal
The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling. When the dishwasher 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.
Contact your local authority for information about where and how your dishwasher should be correctly recycled.

Before washing for the first time

Water hardness
In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher.
Checking water hardness
Water hardness is specified using German degrees of water hardness (°dH), French degrees of water hardness (°fH), English degrees of water hardness (°eH) or millimoles per litre (mmol/l).
A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/ll) must be softened. This is done automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener. In order for the water softener to function properly, its settings must be adjusted to the hardness of the water supply. Once you have adjusted the water softener settings, add detergent and rinse aid in doses suitable for soft water.
Contact the local waterworks to check the water hardness in your area.
Make a note of the water hardness:____

°dH 0-5 6-8 9-11 12-14 15-19 20-24 25-29 30-39 40-49 50

°fH 0-9 10-14 15-20 21-25 26-34 35-43 44-52 53-70 71-88 89

°eH 0-6 7-10 11-14 15-18 19-24 25-30 31-36 37-49 50-61 62

mmol/l 0.0-0.9 1.0-1.4 1.5-2.0 2.1-2.5 2.6-3.4 3.5-4.3 4.4-5.2 5.3-7.0 7.1-8.8 8.9

Recommended setting 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09

If the water hardness exceeds 50°dH (89°fH / 62°eH / 8.9 mmol/l), we recommend connecting an external water softener.
Increased consumption during regeneration
The dishwasher’s built-in water softener is regularly regenerated to maintain its function. Regeneration extends the dishwashing program and increases energy and water consumption. Just how often the dishwasher’s water softener is regenerated depends on the selected setting.
Example: If the Eco 55° program is run with a water hardness of 14°dH (25°fH / 18°eH / 2.5 mmol/l), the water softener is regenerated at regular intervals (after 7 dishwashing cycles), energy consumption increases by 0.015 kWh, and water consumption increases by 2.3 litres, while the program time is extended by 3 minutes. Regeneration takes place during the program’s main wash.
WARNING! Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and inside the dishwasher. It is therefore important that you select the right setting for the water softener! See Water hardness in the chapter Settings.
Never run the dishwasher with an empty salt compartment if the water supply has a water hardness in excess of 5°dH (9°fH / 6°eH / 0.9 mmol/l).

Basic settings
The first time the dishwasher is switched on, it is important that you choose the right settings to ensure good dishwashing results. See the chapter Settings. Set up: · Rinse aid · Water hardness · TAB
Top up with rinse aid
Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with clear and spotless dishes. Top up the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid if you have selected Rinse aid 01 – 05.
Lift up to open
Press to close
1. Open the rinse aid compartment lid. 2. Carefully top up with rinse aid to the level marked MAX. 3. Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment. 4. Close the lid firmly.
Top up with salt
Add salt to the salt compartment if you have selected Water hardness 01 – 09.
1. Remove the salt compartment lid by turning it anticlockwise. 2. Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt compartment top-up hole. First, pour in
about 1 l of water. 3. Add enough salt to fill the salt compartment (max. 750 gram). Use special dishwasher salt. 4. Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed on firmly.
WARNING! In order to avoid rust stains a dishwashing program must be started immediately after adding salt.
8

Greener dishwashing
Save energy and water
When using a dishwasher in a residential setting, less energy and water are generally used compared to washing the dishes by hand.
Do not rinse under running water
Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water consumption. Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Too much detergent, rinse aid and salt can result in less effective dishwashing and also entail greater environmental impact.
Run a fully loaded dishwasher
Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running a program (see number of standard place settings). Use the 1h 65° program with the Speed wash option to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low temperature.
Select dishwashing program ­ Eco 55°
This program is suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most effective program in terms of combined energy and water consumption. This program is used to assess compliance with EU legislation on ecodesign.
The dishwashing program is designed for an effective wash using as little energy and water as possible. The program washes at a low temperature for a long time.
Select option ­ Automatic door opening
A shorter dishwashing program and better drying results are achieved if you use the Automatic door opening option, which automatically opens the dishwasher door. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program has ended and the dishes have cooled before unloading the dishwasher. (If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding furnishings must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water connection reduces the dishwasher’s energy consumption.
NOTE! Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.

Loading the dishwasher
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high heat, others can be damaged by dishwasher 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.
Loading affects the results
Load the dishes carefully to ensure the best washing and drying results with the lowest possible energy and water consumption. Give your dishwasher the best chance to reach and clean all surfaces, as well as to dry the dishes as thoroughly as possible. · 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 cutlery basket.
NOTE! Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.
The dishwasher’s baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with an upper basket and a lower basket with a cutlery basket. The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher setup.
Upper basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards! Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right.

Installation
It is important that you read through and follow the instructions and directions below. Conduct installation and connection in accordance with the separate installation instructions.
[mm]

*Remove the plastic strips if the recess dimension is 596-598 mm. Exercise caution! The edges may be sharp. Wear protective gloves!

**Cover door length.

Nominal dimensions. Actual measurements may vary.

Safety instructions
· Connections to electricity, water and drainage must be performed by a qualified professional. · Always follow applicable regulations for water, drainage and electricity. · Take care during installation! Wear protective gloves! There must always be two people! · Place a drip tray on the floor beneath the dishwasher to prevent damage from any water leaks. · Before screwing the dishwasher into place, test the dishwasher by running the 1h 65° program
with the Speed wash option. Check that the dishwasher fills with water and drains. Check also that none of the connections leak.
WARNING! Turn off the water supply when installing the dishwasher!
The plug must be disconnected or power to the socket turned off while the work is carried out!

Setup
· The recess and connection dimensions are included in the separate installation instructions. Check that all dimensions are correct before starting the installation. Note that the height of the cover door can be adjusted to match other fittings.
· Make sure the area on which the dishwasher is to be installed is firm. Adjust the adjustable feet so that the dishwasher is level.

32

· If the dishwasher is built-in the surrounding furnishings must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.
· Mount the protective film beneath the worktop and up around the edge. The function of the protective film is to protect the worktop from moisture. (The protective film is in the enclosed plastic bag.)
· Check that the machine is installed such that the door opens freely, otherwise door lock functionality may be disrupted.
· Note that the door springs may need adjusting after a cover door has been fitted. Adjust the left and right door springs equally until the door is evenly balanced.
Drainage connection
This dishwasher is suitable for installing in a raised recess (to attain an ergonomic working height). This means that the dishwasher can be placed so that the drainage hose runs to a lower level than the bottom of the dishwasher, such as by routing it directly to a floor drain. The dishwasher is fitted with an integrated anti-siphon device to prevent the machine from being emptied of water during the wash cycle.
The drainage hose can also be connected to a connection nipple on the sink unit’s water trap. The connection nipple must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm.
The drainage hose may be extended by a maximum of 3 m (the total length of the drainage hose must not exceed 4.5 m). Any joins and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm. However, the drainage hose should ideally be replaced with a new hose without joins.
No part of the drainage hose may be more than 950 mm above the bottom of the dishwasher.
Attach the drainage hose with a hose clamp. Ensure that the drainage hose has no kinks.
Connection to water supply
Use only the inlet hose supplied with the dishwasher. Do not re-use old or other spare hoses.
The supply pipe must be fitted with a water tap (stopcock). The water tap must be easily accessible, so that the water can be shut off if the dishwasher has to be moved.
Once the installation is complete, turn on the water tap and allow the pressure to settle for a while. Check that all connections are watertight.
Connection to cold water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water connection reduces the dishwasher’s energy consumption.
NOTE! Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
Electrical connection
Information about the electrical connection can be found on the serial number plate. This specification must match the electricity supply.
The dishwasher must be connected to an earthed socket.
33

The electric wall socket must be placed outside of the installation area to be easily accessible after installing the dishwasher. Do not use an extension cord!
