Before doing your first wash:  
Read through the directions for use  
Read through the directions for use before  
starting to use your machine, especially the  
Safety, Child Safety, and Basic Course sec-  
tions.  
Take care with certain materials  
Read the Fragile Dishes section before  
washing china with unglazed decoration  
or other household goods made of plastic,  
wood, or crystal requiring careful treatment.  
Check the door fitting  
Check that the door of the dishwasher fits  
properly: open the door a little and let it go.  
Does it stay exactly where you released it? If  
not, you should check the installation in-  
structions or consult the installer.  
Check the water’s hardness  
Call your local water utility company to  
check the water hardness in your area. This  
is important when dispensing dishwasher  
detergent and rinse aid.

Important safety instructions  
This manual does not cover all possible  
conditions and situations that may occur.  
Common sense and caution should always  
be used when installing, operating, and  
maintaining any appliance.  
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 wa-  
ter flow from each for several minutes. This  
will release any accumulated hydrogen  
gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smo-  
ke or use an open flame during this time.  
• When removing an old dishwasher from  
service or discarding it, remove the door to  
the washing compartment.  
• Read all instructions before using the dish-  
washer.  
• Dishwashers must be electrically groun-  
ded. Read the Installation Instructions for  
details.  
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended  
purpose.  
• 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.  
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents  
and rinse agents.  
• To reduce the risk of injury, keep deter-  
gents and rinse aids out of the reach of  
children.  
• Do not load sharp items near the door; you  
could damage the door seal.  
• Place sharp knives in the silverware basket  
with the sharp ends down to avoid the risk  
of cut-type injuries.  
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are  
marked “dishwasher safe” or the equi-  
valent. For items not marked, check the  
manufacturer’s recommendations. Items  
not dishwasher safe could become de-  
formed or melt and create a potential fire  
hazard.  
• Do not touch the heating element during or  
imediately after use.  
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all  
enclosure panels are properly in place  
(i.e., guard plate, access panel, toe kick,  
etc.)  
• Do not tamper with controls by removing or  
changing.  
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the dish-  
washer door or baskets.  
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow  
children to play in or on a dishwasher.  
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas

Child safety!  
Child safety tips  
Engaging the Child Safety Lock  
Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are  
corrosive, so always keep them out of reach  
of children.  
This model has a child safety lock on the left of  
the door handle. To activate the lock, press in  
the door handle and use a screwdriver to turn  
the screw slot to a vertical position. Reset it by  
turning the slot to its horizontal position.  
To open the door when the safety lock is  
engaged, press the white plastic tab located  
to the left of the door handle toward the left  
and hold it as you lift the door handle. (See  
illustration at right.)  
• Should a child swallow dishwasher deter-  
gent or rinse aid, give plenty to drink im-  
mediately, i.e., one or two glasses of milk or  
water. Do not try to induce vomiting. Seek  
medical advice immediately: Call the Nation-  
al Capital Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222  
• Always close the door and start the dish-  
washer 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.  
• Do not allow children to use or play in or  
on the dishwasher.  
• Load all long and sharp items in the knife/  
utensil basket. If this is not possible, load  
sharp objects with the pointed end facing  
the back of the dishwasher. Sharp items  
loaded in the silverware basket should be  
loaded with pointed ends down.  
• Engage the child safety lock.

such as electric whisks.  
Place long silverware and carving knives  
in the special knife box (if present) or in the  
upper basket.  
Load the baskets correctly!  
Thanks to Self Cleaning System, you  
do not need to rinse the dishes under  
running water. Simply remove large food  
particles and debris. Convenient and environ-  
mentally-friendly!  
Check that the spray arms are able to  
move freely.  
See the section entitled Fragile Dishes if you  
want to wash objects that may be fragile.  
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates,  
and dishes in the upper basket, wine glasses  
should be placed on the shelf with the wavy  
edge, and knives in the knife stand if present.  
Note!  
Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards  
or downwards!  
Dishwashing detergent  
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.  
Place dinner plates, side plates, serving  
dishes, saucepans, and silverware (in the  
silverware basket) in the lower basket. The  
removable plate insert, which comes with  
certain models, can be easily removed to  
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

the more detergent you may need. Refer to

and as spread out as possible. Ensure that  
spoons are not resting inside each other.  
Remember, you should adjust the amount  
of detergent you use by small amounts  
until you find the correct amount.  
Do not put silverware made of different ma-  
terials - such as silver and stainless steel - in  
the same compartment (risk of stains).  
The silverware basket has a folding flap in

temperatures to prevent hard water deposits carefully. If anything is unclear, contact the  
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. This can be removed by  
replacing the prewash detergent with two  
tablespoons of citric acid. If the water is very  
hard, use a rinse aid that contains citric acid.  
Different brands of dishwasher detergent  
have different amounts of phosphorous for  
softening water. If you have hard water and  
use a detergent with less than 8.7% phos-  
phorous content, you may need to use more  
detergent or use a detergent with more than  
8.7% phosphorous content.

NOTE:  
If you use a dishwashing detergent with  
a rinse aid additive, you should not fill the

Dishwasher tablets  
The dishwasher will now start. It man-  
ages the entire wash automatically.  
Ensure that the door is properly closed or  
the machine will not start.

dishwasher detergent will not break down  
properly to give the correct dosage if the  
cover is tight and cannot be opened cor-  
rectly.

To save energy, select Economy dry. You will  
get a better drying result if you leave the door  
slightly open after the end of the program.  
Do not rinse before dishwashing  
Thanks to the dishwasher’s Self Cleaning  
System you do not need to rinse the dishes  
under running water before loading them  
into the machine.

Read environmental declarations on the  
package!  
Reduce Energy Use  
You can use a cold water fill which can save  
additional energy. The dishwasher heats  
water which is used for the main wash and  
final rinse.

Fragile dishes  
A number of household goods are not suit-  
able for machine washing. This can be due  
to a variety of reasons. Certain materials  
cannot withstand intense heat; others can  
be damaged by the dishwasher detergent.  
Plastic  
Certain types of plastic cannot withstand  
the high temperature generated in machine  
dishwashing.  
Protect plastic goods  
Select a program with a low temperature.  
Fragile decoration  
China with decoration on top of the glaze  
(the goods have a rough feel) should not be  
machine washed.  
Crystal/ glass  
Place the goods so that they do not knock  
together during the wash. Use the lowest  
possible wash temperature and the shortest  
possible program. Do not heat dry! Antique  
and very fragile items should not be ma-  
chine washed.  
Glass which is machine washed at high  
temperatures can in time develop a grey film  
which cannot be removed. Wash fine glass  
at the lowest temperature and with a low  
dosage of dishwasher detergent.  
Silver  
Silver and stainless steel items should not  
come into contact with each other as the  
silver can discolor.  
Silverware with glued handles  
Certain types of adhesive cannot withstand  
machine washing. In such cases the handles  
can come loose.  
Wood  
Wooden items should only be machine  
washed if they are labeled as dishwasher  
safe.  
Aluminum  
Aluminum can be dulled by machine wash-  
ing. However, good quality aluminum sauce-  
pans can be machine washed, although a  
reduction in luster should be expected.

Display  
Display window  
When you have selected the program, the  
display shows the length of time the pro-  
gram took the last time it was used. When  
you have started the machine, the display  
window shows how much of the program  
time remains.  
This time can vary a little from one occasion  
to another depending on the temperature  
of the inlet water, the amount of dishes, the  
ambient temperature, etc.  
While the program is running, the time is  
counted down and the remaining program  
time is displayed in the window.  
Note!  
During the first use of each wash program,  
the time display can be slightly misleading  
as the machine is estimating the remaining  
cycle time. The time displayed the next time  
that program is started is an estimate based  
on how long the previous cycle took to  
complete. If the program takes longer than  
estimated, 1 minute will continue to show in  
the display until the program is finished.  
The corrected time will be displayed the  
next time the cycle is started.

Cleaning  
Cleaning  
The dishwasher’s inner container is made of  
stainless steel and is kept clean through nor-  
mal use. However, if you have calciferous  
(hard) water, lime deposits can form in the  
dishwasher. In this case, run a normal wash  
program with two tablespoons of citric acid  
in the dishwasher detergent compartment.  
Coarse filter  
Coarse filter  
The coarse filter collects large food particles  
which cannot get past the drain pump. Lift  
out and empty the coarse filter as neces-  
sary. Don’t forget to replace it!  
Strainer  
Fine filter  
The residue collected on the fine filter is auto-  
matically rinsed off with each wash. The fine  
filter should still be cleaned once or twice a year.  
1. Remove the fine filter by first turning the filter’s  
strainer counter-clockwise and then lifting  
the strainer and filter straight up.  
2. Clean with a dishwashing brush. Ensure  
that the edges are properly sealed when  
replacing the fine filter.  
Fine filter  
Drain pump  
The pump can be accessed from inside the  
machine.  
1. Always unplug the dishwasher or turn the  
power to the unit off at the circuit breaker  
before cleaning the pump.  
2. First remove the coarse filter by pressing  
together the two catches and lifting the  
filter upwards.

3. Then remove the filter’s strainer by turn-  
ing it counter-clockwise and remove the  
fine filter.  
4. Finally remove the Pump access plug to  
the left in the bottom drain.  
5. By inserting a finger into the hole you can  
rotate the pump blade and remove any  
blockages.  
6. Replace the Pump access plug and fil-  
ters.  
7. Insert the electrical plug back into the outlet.

If the machine still does not start and a whir-  
ring sound is heard, the overfill protection  
has been activated.  
• Shut off the water  
• Remove the electrical plug from the outlet  
• Call the Customer Care Center at the num-  
ber listed at the bottom of this page.  
CAUTION!  
Do not forget to replace the pump access  
plug  
Spray arms  
The holes and bearings can occasionally  
become clogged.  
1. Pull the lower spray arm straight up to  
release it.  
2. Scrape away the debris with a needle or  
similar item. The spray arms also have  
holes on the underside.  
To release the upper spray arm, the upper  
basket must be removed.  
3. Pull out the basket and turn the basket  
stop outwards on both rails (see illustra-  
tion). The basket can now be removed.  
4. Remove the upper spray arm in the same  
way as the lower arm and clean it.  
Door  
When cleaning the edge around the door,  
use only a slightly damp cloth, possibly with  
a little detergent. Do not use a spray bottle  
or the like around the door catch. This is to  
ensure that water does not penetrate into  
the door catch and come into contact with  
the electrical components.  
CAUTION!  
Do not use a spray bottle or the like around  
the door catch.  
Tips!  
To avoid unpleasant odors in the dishwash-  
er, clean the edges and corners with a dish-  
brush containing a low foaming detergent.

Rinse aid  
Select dosage  
Adding rinse aid  
The dispenser is usually set at 1= soft water.  
However, depending on the water hardness,  
you may need to change the dosage.  
In some cases, drying can be made more ef-  
ficient by using rinse aid.  
Machines with indicator on the panel  
When the rinse aid has run out and more is  
needed, the rinse aid symbol on the panel  
lights up*.  
Open the rinse aid cover. Here you will find  
the dispenser’s adjustment dial. Settings 1-6:  
the harder the water, the higher the dosage.  
When the water hardness exceeds 10-12 dH,  
you should use rinse aid with citric acid (acid  
rinse aid) if the machine does not have a wa-  
ter softening filter. If the machine has a water  
softening filter, dispense as for soft water.  
To fill with rinse aid:  
1. Turn and lift up the cover of the rinse aid  
compartment to the right of the dispenser.  
This is where you top up and set the amount  
of rinse aid to be dispensed in each wash.  
2. Carefully pour in rinse aid up to the dos-  
age setting knob.  
Too much rinse aid can lead to the build-  
up of foam. If your water is particularly soft,  
you can dilute the rinse aid (1 part rinse aid,  
1 part water).  
Alter dosage if required. Do not forget to  
close the cover.  
Too much rinse aid can cause streaks on  
the dishes, while too little can result in water  
stains.  
*Note!  
After filling there may be a short delay be-  
fore the signal light goes out.  
Machines with refill indicator  
There is a refill indicator in the middle of the  
dispenser (see illustration). If the refill indica-  
tor is totally black, there is sufficient rinse  
aid. However, if the indicator has a more  
transparent appearance, you need to top up  
with rinse aid (see above).
