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 Contact the local water utility to check the water hardness in your area. This is important with regard to how much detergent and rinse aid to use.

Basic settings

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 and rinse aid 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. Use the Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours. You can also use the Anti-odour program to prevent bad odours from dirty dishes left in the dishwasher. 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 Use when you want to save water and energy. For normally soiled load, such as plates, serving dishes, cups, glasses and so on. This 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 ­ Auto door open Better drying results are achieved if you use the Auto door open 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.

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. Fragile decoration Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher. Crystal/Glass By using rinse aid you will improve your drying result. You will also achieve 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. Silver Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the silver can become discoloured. In order to avoid marks and tarnishing, separate dishes made from different metals, such as silver, stainless steel and aluminium. Aluminium Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminium pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost. Cutlery with glued handles Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles may loosen.
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 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.

Using the dishwasher
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. 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.
If you want to load more dishes4)

Installation

[mm] *Remove the locking nuts when installing in a recess measuring 820-821 mm.
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! · Before screwing the dishwasher into place, test the dishwasher by running the Rinse and hold
program. Check that the dishwasher fills with water and drains. Check also that none of the connections leak.
WARNING!
The ventilation opening in the lower part of the door must not be blocked by a rug, carpet or similar furnishing.
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!
34

Installation
Transport protection for the door
Do not forget to remove the transport protection for the door when unpacking the dishwasher.
Placing the dishwasher
The dishwasher is intended for installation under a worktop. The recess dimensions are illustrated. Holes for wires/cables need not be larger than 38 mm in diameter. Make sure the edges of such holes are even to prevent damage to the drainage and inlet hoses and the power cable.
[mm] If the dishwasher is built-in the surrounding cabinetry must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher. Accessory Buy an accessory kit for freestanding installation (two side panels, a worktop and two anti-tip brackets). If the dishwasher is placed so that one of the sides is visible, side panels must be fitted. If the dishwasher is completely freestanding, both side panels, a worktop and anti-tip brackets must be fitted. Accessories can be purchased from where you bought the dishwasher.
Affix the protective film
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.)
35

Installation
NOTE!
The surface to which the protective film is affixed must be clean and dry.
Adjust the height and slide the dishwasher into place
1. Start by measuring the height from the floor to the bottom edge of the worktop. 2. Measure the height from the floor to the top edge of the dishwasher. 3. Lean the dishwasher forwards a little and adjust the rear foot with the screw at the front of the
dishwasher. Turn clockwise to lower or anticlockwise to raise.
4. Adjust the front feet by turning them clockwise to raise and anticlockwise to lower the dishwasher. 16 mm
24 mm 5. Check that there is an air gap of at least 3 mm between the underside of the worktop and the
top edge of the dishwasher. 6. Slide the dishwasher into place.
· Pull the supply and drainage hoses and the power cord when sliding the dishwasher into place.
36

Installation
· Check that the drainage hose has no kinks or sharp bends. Also check that there is nothing that can damage the hoses.
· Check that the machine is installed such that the door opens freely, otherwise door lock functionality may be disrupted.
7. Make any final adjustments to the feet and tighten the lock nuts on the front feet.
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.
min. 14 mm
37

Installation
Max. 950 mm
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 2.5 m (the total length of the drainage hose must not exceed 4.5 m). Any joints and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm. 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.
NOTE!
Only cold water connection is suitable for this appliance. The water pressure must be between 0.03 and 1.0 MPa. Connecting a dishwasher to the water supply via certain types of pressure limiting valves may restrict the water supply! This may cause the error message “Water inlet fault” to be displayed. If the water pressure is higher than 1.0 MPa a pressure limiting valve must be fitted.
38

Installation
Electrical connection
Information about the electrical connection can be found on the compliance 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 area to be easily accessible after installing the dishwasher. Do not use an extension cord!
Screwing the dishwasher into place
After fastening the machine, check that the front feet still touch the floor.
