Installation

Refer to the Installation chapter.

Overflow Protection

The overflow protection starts pumping and shuts off the water intake if the water level in the dishwasher rises above normal. If the protection is triggered, F54 (Water Overflow) will be displayed. Turn off the water tap and contact the nearest service center. (To avoid water leakage outside the dishwasher, do not pull the plug from the wall socket before the water tap on the supply line is turned off!)

Winter Storage/Transport

Store the dishwasher frost-free and avoid long transports in severe cold. Transport the dishwasher upright or lying on its back.

Before transporting a used dishwasher or for long-term storage, the water must be drained.

Packaging

The packaging protects the product during transport. The packaging material is recyclable. Sort the packaging to contribute to reduced raw material consumption and less waste. Your retailer can take back the packaging for recycling or inform you about the nearest recycling station. The packaging consists of:

• Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recycled material.
• Expanded polystyrene (EPS) without chlorine and fluorine additives.
• Untreated wood battens.
• Polyethylene (PE) protective film.

Disposal

The dishwasher is manufactured and marked for recycling. When the dishwasher has reached the end of its service life and is to be scrapped, it must be rendered unusable immediately. Pull out the plug and cut the cord as short as possible.

Contact your municipality for information on where and how your dishwasher should be recycled correctly.

Before Washing for the First Time

Water Hardness

To achieve a good washing result, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low lime content). Hard water causes white deposits on dishes and in the dishwasher.

Checking Water Hardness

Water hardness is indicated in German degrees of hardness (°dH), French degrees of hardness (°fH), English degrees of hardness (°eH), or millimoles per liter (mmol/L).

Incoming water with a hardness degree above 2.8°dH (5°fH / 3.5°eH / 0.5 mmol/L) must be softened. This is done automatically by the built-in water softener. For the water softener to function optimally, the setting must be adapted to the incoming water's hardness degree. After setting the water softener, dose detergent and rinse aid as if you have soft water.

Contact your local waterworks to find out the hardness of your water.

Note your water hardness:

If the water hardness exceeds 36.4°dH (65°fH / 45.5°eH / 6.5 mmol/L), it is recommended to connect an external water softener.

Increased Consumption During Regeneration

The dishwasher's built-in water softener regenerates regularly to maintain its function. During regeneration, the wash cycle is extended, and energy and water consumption increase. How often the dishwasher's water softener regenerates depends on the selected setting. Example: If the Eco 55° program is run with the standard water hardness setting (04), the water softener will regenerate regularly, increasing energy consumption by 0.025 kWh and water consumption by 2.5 liters, while extending the program time by 1 minute. The setting is made during the main wash of the program.

WARNING! Hard water causes white deposits on dishes and in the dishwasher. It is therefore important to select the correct water softener setting! See Water Hardness in the Settings chapter.

Never run the dishwasher with an empty salt container if the incoming water has a hardness degree above 2.8°dH (5°fH / 3.5°eH / 0.5 mmol/L).

Initial Settings

When the dishwasher is first switched on, it is important to select the correct settings for optimal washing results. See chapter Settings.

Set:

• Rinse Aid
• Water Hardness
• TAB

Filling Rinse Aid

Drying is faster and the result is better when using rinse aid. You also get a finer wash result with clear and spot-free dishes.

Fill the rinse aid container if you have selected Rinse Aid 01 – 05.

It may take a little while for the symbol to go out after refilling.

Filling Salt

Fill the salt container if you have selected Water Hardness 01 - 07.

WARNING! To avoid rust stains, start a wash cycle immediately after refilling salt.

Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt container. This will destroy the water softener!

Washing More Environmentally Friendly

Save Energy and Water

Washing dishes in a dishwasher generally uses less energy and water than hand washing.

• Do not rinse under running water: Do not rinse dishes under running water, as this leads to increased energy and water consumption. Simply scrape off larger food residues before loading the dishwasher.
• Choose an environmentally adapted detergent: Read the environmental declarations on the packaging!
• Overdosing: Overdosing detergent, rinse aid, and salt can impair washing results and also place an extra burden on the environment.
• Wash with a full load: Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is fully loaded (see number of standard place settings). Use the 1h 65° program with the Quick Wash option to rinse dishes if you have odor problems.
• Wash at a lower temperature: If the dishes are only lightly soiled, you can choose a program with a lower temperature.
• Select Program – Eco 55°: This program is suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water consumption. This program is used to assess compliance with EU ecodesign legislation. The program is designed to wash effectively with as low energy and water consumption as possible. The program washes at a low temperature for a long time.
• Activate Setting – Auto Dry: You will get a shorter wash cycle and better drying results if you activate the Auto Dry setting, which automatically opens the dishwasher door. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program is finished and the dishes have cooled down before unloading the dishwasher. (If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding cabinetry must withstand any condensation from the dishwasher).
• Connect to cold water: Connect the dishwasher to cold water if the property is heated by oil, electricity, or gas.
• Connect to hot water: Connect the dishwasher to hot water (max 60 °C) if the property is heated by an energy-efficient water heater such as district heating, solar cells, or geothermal heat. By choosing a hot water connection, the dishwasher's electricity consumption is reduced.

OBS! Do not exceed the permitted temperature of the incoming water. Some materials in certain household items cannot withstand high heat. See Delicate Crockery in the Loading the Dishwasher chapter.

Loading the Dishwasher

Delicate Crockery

Some household items are not suitable for machine washing. This can be due to several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high temperatures, while others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent.

Be careful with, for example, handmade items, delicate decorations, crystal/glass, silver, copper, pewter, aluminum, wood, and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher Safe" marking.

Loading Affects Results

Be careful how you load the dishes to achieve the best washing and drying results with the lowest possible energy and water consumption. Give your dishwasher the best conditions to reach and wash all surfaces and to dry the dishes properly.

• Turn all dirty surfaces inwards and downwards!
• Dishes should not lie on top of or against each other.
• Tilt items with indentations, such as cups, so that the rinse water can run off. This is also important for plastic items.
• Ensure that small items do not fall through the basket; place them in the cutlery basket.

OBS! Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Dishwasher Baskets

The dishwasher is equipped with an upper basket and a lower basket with a cutlery basket. The appearance of the baskets may vary depending on the dishwasher model.

Upper Basket

Place glasses, cups, bowls, saucers, and plates in the upper basket. Turn all dirty surfaces inwards and downwards! Wine glasses should be placed on the wine glass shelf, and knives should be placed in the knife rack on the right.

Lower Basket

Place plates, saucers, serving dishes, pots, and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket.

Adjustable Plate Supports

The adjustable plate supports can be folded down to allow better placement of pots and bowls.

Cutlery Basket

Place cutlery with the handles facing downwards, except for sharp knives, and spread them out as much as possible. Ensure that spoons do not lie on top of each other.

The cutlery basket is placed in the lower basket.

Using the Dishwasher

Dosing Detergent

Follow the dosing instructions on the detergent packaging. The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener, so dose as if you have soft water.

Overdosing detergent can impair washing results and also places an extra burden on the environment.

Detergent Compartment

The detergent compartment must be dry when dosing detergent.

OBS! Only use dishwasher detergent! Hand dish soap must not be used, as the foam formation hinders the dishwasher's operation.

Combination Detergents

There are many types of combination detergents on the market. Read the instructions for these products carefully.

Activate the TAB setting and deactivate the Rinse Aid setting when using combination detergents that contain rinse aid.

Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs (under 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher detergent instead.

OBS! For optimal washing and drying results, use regular dishwasher detergent along with separate dosing of rinse aid and salt.

Contact the detergent manufacturer if you have questions about detergent.

On/Off

Close the door properly, otherwise the dishwasher will not start. Press the power button. Also turn on the water tap if it is turned off.

When the program is not running, press the power button to turn off the dishwasher immediately. If the program is running, press and hold for five seconds to turn off the dishwasher. Alternatively, you can press and hold the pause button for three seconds to pause the dishwasher and then press the power button to turn it off.

Child Lock

To prevent children from interrupting a running wash cycle, you can activate the child lock function. After starting a program, press and hold for three seconds. CL (Child Lock) will be displayed when you press the control panel. (To unlock, press and hold for three seconds). You can also activate the automatic child lock setting to prevent children from starting the dishwasher. See the Settings chapter.

Select the program based on the type of dishes and how dirty they are. Eco 55° is the default.

Press P once or several times until the desired program is activated, indicated by a light.

• Eco 55°: This program is suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water consumption. This program is used to assess compliance with EU ecodesign legislation. Read about how to wash more environmentally friendly in the chapter Washing More Environmentally Friendly. For heavily soiled dishes with a lot of grease, use a program with a higher temperature.
• Auto 45-65°: The dishwasher can measure how dirty the dishes are and adjust water consumption and temperature accordingly. After initial installation, the program needs to be run five times before it is fully adapted and can provide the best results.
• 1h 65°: A quick program for lightly dried-on food residues. (The program is not intended for baked-on food, such as casserole dishes.) The Auto Dry (automatic drying) option is important for ensuring the best drying results.
• Intensive 70°: A program with a high temperature that dissolves grease on heavily soiled dishes such as pots, pans, and casserole dishes. If the dishwasher is not filled with such dishes, you can also fill it with plates and other dishes.
• Glass 40°: A gentle wash program with a low temperature for washing delicate items in crystal/glass. Be sparing with the detergent dosage and place the items so that they do not collide during washing. See also Delicate Crockery in the Loading the Dishwasher chapter. Porcelain that has just been used without dried-on food residues can also be washed with this program.
• Hygiene 70°: This program is ideal when extra high hygiene requirements are needed, for example, for baby bottles and cutting boards. The temperature is high during both the main wash and the final rinse.

Self Cleaning
