1. Packing
The packaging materials are 100% recyclable and
marked with the recycling symbol .
2. Removing the packaging and inspecting the
contents
After unpacking, make sure that the dishwasher is
undamaged and that the door closes correctly. If in
doubt, contact a
qualified technician or your local retailer.
3. Before using the dishwasher for the first
time
- The appliance must only be used in the household
and according to its purpose.
- The appliance is designed to operate at ambient
temperatures of between 5°C and 45°C.
- This dishwasher has been tested by the
manufacturer to ensure it functions correctly.
Such testing may leave slight drips/ water marks
which will disappear with the first wash.
4. Energy and water savings
- Do not rinse crockery under running water.
- Always fully load the dishwasher before running it
or select the "Half load/Multizone" function (if
available).
- If ecological energy sources are available such as
solar panel heating, heat pumps or centralised
heating systems, the appliance may be connected
to the hot water mains up to a maximum
temperature of 60° C. Make sure the water inlet
hose is of the correct type ("70°C Max" or "90°C
Max").
5. Child safety
- Keep the packaging materials out of the reach of
children.
- Children must not be allowed to play with the
dishwasher.
- Store the detergent, rinse aid and salt out of the
reach of children.
6. Safety warnings
- The appliance is not intended for use by children
or physically or mentally impaired persons, unless
adequately supervised by a responsible adult
capable of guaranteeing safe use of the appliance.
- Do not operate the appliance in the open air.
- Do not store flammable materials in close
proximity to the dishwasher.
- The water in the dishwasher is not potable.
- Do not use solvents inside the dishwasher: risk
of explosion!
- Be careful when the door is open: risk of
tripping!
- The open dishwasher door can only support the
weight of the loaded rack when pulled out. Do
not rest objects on the open door or sit or stand
on it.
- Sharp items that might cause injury (e.g. knives),
must be placed in the cutlery basket (where
present) with the sharp end facing downwards.
Long-handled utensils must be arranged
horizontally in the upper rack, with the sharp end
facing away from the front of the appliance.
- Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance,
unplug the socket from the mains, and turn the
water tap off; the same applies in case of fault.
- Repairs and technical modifications must be
carried out exclusively by a qualified technician.
7. Resistance to frost
If the appliance is placed in surroundings exposed
to the risk of frost, it must be drained completely.
Turn off the water tap, remove the inlet and outlet
hoses, and let all the water run out. Make sure
there is at least 1 kg of dissolved regeneration salt
in the salt reservoir to protect the appliance at
temperatures of up to -20°C. When the program
resumes, an error message may be displayed when
it switches on: "F6/E2" or the Cancel/Off light
flashes "6 times/2 times": the appliance must
remain at an ambient temperature of at least 5°C
for at least 24 hours.
After eliminating these faults, do a RESET (see
"What to do, if...").
8. Disposal
- The appliance is manufactured using recyclable
materials. If you decide to scrap the dishwasher, it
must be disposed of in compliance with local
waste disposal regulations. Make it unusable by
cutting off the power cord. To prevent situations
of potential danger to children (e.g. danger of
suffocation), break the lock of the door so that it
can no longer be closed.

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you
achieve the best possible dishwashing results.
1 - 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 environmentally-friendly!
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and saucers
in the upper basket. Wine glasses should be hung
from or leaned against the wine glass shelf and
knives placed in the knife stand if present.
Note!
Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards or
downwards!
The middle basket is suitable for low items, such as
cups, small glasses, or bowls. The two baskets that
sit in the middle basket can be removed to create
more space between the upper and lower baskets
to fit taller items. The primary cutlery basket,
which is easy to remove, has room for ladles,
whisks, serving cutlery, and similar items.
Place dinner plates, side plates, serving dishes,
saucepans, and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the
lower basket. The removable plate insert, which
comes with certain models, can be easily removed
to provide room for large plates, saucepans, and
pots.
Stand the cutlery with handles downward and as
spread out as possible. Ensure that spoons are not
resting inside each other.
Do not put cutlery made of different materials -
such as silver and stainless steel - in the same
compartment (risk of stains).
The cutlery basket has a folding flap in the middle
for small items or narrow shafts, such as electric
whisks.
Place long cutlery and carving knives in the special
knife box (if present) or in the upper basket.
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.
2 - Dishwashing detergent
Dispensing dishwasher detergent
Detergent should be dispensed in accordance with
the water's hardness level.
Follow the dosage instructions on the detergent
package. If your machine is fitted with a water
softener, dispense as for soft water.
Pour the dishwasher detergent into the dishwasher
detergent compartment. There is one
compartment for pre-wash and one for main wash,
see Dispenser. Phone the dishwasher detergent
manufacturer if you have any questions regarding
the detergent.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the
dispenser cover. There is a risk that the dishwasher
detergent will not break down properly to give the
correct dosage if the cover is tight and cannot be
opened correctly.
3-in-1/ Multi-purpose detergent
Note!
Read the directions for use for such products
carefully. If anything is unclear, contact the
detergent manufacturer.
Basic Course
Do not put bowls or
cups in the primary
cutlery basket!

Choose environmentally-friendly dishwasher
detergent
Read environmental declarations on the package!
Connect to cold water supply
For best performance it is recommended that
connection is to cold water.
Fragile dishes
A number of household goods are not suitable 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.
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 machine 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.
Cutlery 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 washing.
However, good quality aluminum saucepans can be
machine washed, although a reduction in luster
should be expected.
Plastic
Certain types of plastic cannot withstand the high
temperature generated in machine dishwashing.
Protect plastic goods
Select a program with a low temperature.
Time remaining
When you have selected programme and option,
the display shows the length of time the programme
had taken the last time it was used. When you have
start the machine, the display window shows how
much of the programme 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.
During the time the programme is operating, the
time is counted down and the remaining
programme time is shown in the window. The
remaining time is shown e.g. as 1:02, which means
that 1 hour and 2 minutes of the programme
remain.
NB!
During the first run of each programme, the
remaining time display may be slightly misleading as
the machine is estimating the time remainimng.
If the programme takes longer than expected, it
displays 1 minute until the programme is completed.
Status light
The status light at the bottom on the machine
provides information by means of 3 different
colours.
Indications
Blue
- indicates that the program has started and it is
still possible to load more dishes
Red
- indicates that there is detergent in the machine
and it is not recommended to load more dishes
(risk of poor dishwashing result)
Flashing Red
- indicates one of the following faults:
- water inlet fault
- leaking valve
- too much water in the machine
- clogged filter

two tablespoons of citric acid in the dishwasher
detergent compartment.
Coarse filter
The coarse filter traps larger food particles, which
cannot get past the drain pump. Empty the coarse
filter when necessary.
1. Lift the coarse filter by the handle.
2. Empty the coarse filter. Don't forget to replace
it!

Rinse aid
Adding rinse aid
In some cases, drying can be made more efficient
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*.
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 dosage
setting knob.
Alter dosage if required. Do not forget to close the
cover.
*Note!
After filling there may be a short delay before the
signal light goes out.
Machines with refill indicator in detergent
dispenser
There is a refill indicator in the middle of the
dispenser (see illustration). If the refill indicator 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).
Select dosage
The dispenser is usually set at 1= soft water.
However, depending on the water hardness, you
may need to change the dosage.
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 3 grains, you
should use rinse aid with citric acid (acid rinse aid).
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).
Too much rinse aid can cause streaks on the dishes,
while too little can result in water stains.
Refill indicator Open

Cover for rinse aid
Open by turning and lifting the cover!

Salt
Add salt
Before using a dishwasher with a water softening
filter, you must fill the salt compartment with salt.
Use coarse salt or special salt for dishwashers.
It is best to fill with salt when you are about to do
a wash, as the dishwasher needs to be rinsed out
immediately after filling.
Proceed as follows the first time:
1. First unscrew the cover as illustrated.
2. Place the funnel, which is supplied with the
dishwasher, into the compartment's filler hole.
3. First pour in approximately 1 litre of water.
Then fill the compartment with max 1.5 kg of
salt.
4. Wipe away excess salt so that the cover can be
properly screwed into place.
5. Run a Normal wash program so that any salt in
the machine is rinsed away.
When the salt runs out, the salt symbol on the
display* lights up. Unscrew the cover and fill the
compartment with salt. Water is only needed on
the first occasion! Wipe clean and screw back in
place. Run a Normal wash program so that any salt
is rinsed away.
Occasionally check to see if more salt is needed.
A green indicator can be seen in the cover of the
salt compartment.
The indicator is not working
If the indicator is not working, this may be because
the float, which is positioned under the cover, has
become stuck in salt residue. The float can be
reached through the green arm located under the
cover of the salt compartment.
1. Move the float arm up and down to loosen it.
2. Once the float has been loosened, press it
down again.
Models without a salt symbol in the display show
green in the salt compartment cover when there is
sufficient salt.
*NB!
After filling, there may be a short delay before the
signal light goes out.
CAUTION!
Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt
compartment. It will destroy the water softener!

TOOLS
1) Flathead screwdriver
2) Open-ended spanner 16 mm
3) Tape measure
4) Spirit level
Step 1. Fitting the dishwasher in place
1. Loosen the locking nuts on the dishwasher's
two front steel feet using a 16 mm open-ended
spanner. Screw the locking nuts down as close
to the floor as possible.
2. Adjust the height of the dishwasher by turning
the front steel feet with your hands. Leave
enough space to adjust them later.
Make sure the
edges of the
cable hole are
even so as not to
damage the
drainage and
supply hoses and
the electric cable.
Cable hole
25
3. Screw in the back foot completely by turning
the adjustment screw at the front
anticlockwise. Use a flat-bladed screwdriver or
an Allen screwdriver.
4. Push the plastic feet into place on all three
steel feet (included in document bag).
Note:
Do not attach the plastic feet if the installation
space is of minimum height.
5. Affix the light shielding film (packed in the
document bag) to the underside of the
worktop above the touch buttons.
The light shielding film ensures optimal button
functionality.
Note:
The surface on which the protective film is to be
affixed must be clean and dry.
6. Push the dishwasher into the cavity. At the
same time, pull the electric cable and drainage
and supply hoses through the cable hole.
7. Lift the dishwasher a little at the front and turn
the front feet to lower them.
8. Check that there is a space of 3 mm between
the top of the dishwasher door and the
underside of the worktop.
Do not attach the locking nuts. This will be done
later.

9. Adjust the back foot by turning the adjustment
screw at the front clockwise.
10. Place the spirit level on the dishwasher door to
check that the machine is level and adjust if
necessary. The door must be fully closed!
Note:
The dishwasher must be level!
An unlevel machine can affect the amount of water
taken in, the door can be difficult to close, and the
baskets difficult to place securely.
Step 2. Attaching cover or wooden door
Follow the separate instructions supplied with the
dishwasher to attach the chosen cover or wooden
door to the front of the machine.
Note:
Once you have fitted the cover or wooden door to
the dishwasher, the door springs may need
adjusting. Check that the door stays in the position
in which it is placed. If the door drops down when
you open it, the springs need tightening. If the door
shuts on its own, the springs need loosening.
See step 3 for further instructions.

Step 3. Adjusting the door springs
The door springs are on the sides of the
dishwasher.
If necessary, pull out the dishwasher and adjust the
tension of the door springs. A good idea is to try
adjusting one side only first.
1. Make sure the door is closed.
2. Grab the front end of the spring and pull it up
and forward to release it from the forward
mount.
27
3. Loosen the spring from the rear mount by
turning it outwards.
4. Adjust the spring tension using one of the
following methods depending on how much
adjustment is needed.
If you need to adjust the spring a lot, place the rear
mount in another hole. Place the spring further
forward to reduce the tension and further back to
increase the tension.
If you want to make small adjustments to the
spring, hold the back end with one hand and turn
the forward mount clockwise or anticlockwise one
or more times. Turn the mount clockwise to
increase spring tension and anticlockwise to reduce
spring tension.
5. Replace the back end of the spring by holding
the spring at a right angle to the side of the
dishwasher and pushing the end of the spring
into the hole, then turning the spring in towards
the dishwasher.
6. Reattach the front end of the spring by pulling it
up and forward to fasten it in the mount.
7. Open the door and check the spring tension
again. If necessary, make further adjustments as
above.
Stronger door springs are available for purchase for
dishwashers fitted with a cover door. Springs are
available for various weights and sizes of door.
Door springs can be purchased from the retailer
who sold you the dishwasher.
Step 4. Connecting electricity, water and
drain
1. Connect drain hose
The drain hose runs to an inlet plug on the ink
unit's water trap.
Note:
The hose must be fastened on a level with the
underside of the sink unit.
Cut the drain hose adapter to the appropriate size
for connection to the undersink drain or garbage
disposer. The overall length of the drainage hose
must not exceed 4,5 m.
No part of the drainage hose may be more than
950 mm above the bottom of the dishwasher.
Reduce spring tension Increase spring tension
Reduce spring tension
Increase spring tension
The hose must not be run directly to the floor
drain or similar.
The hose must always discharge at least 350 mm
above the bottom of the dishwasher.
2. Connect water supply hose
Connect using the supplied O ring and tighten
the connection by hand plus a quarter turn with
a wrench. Open the shutoff valve and let the
pressure settle for a while. Check the
connections again to make sure they are not
leaking.
3. Connect the electric plug
Ensure that the power socket is within the
range of the power cable. Do not use an
extension cord! The dishwasher must be
connected to a grounded outlet.
Step 5. Checking dishwasher function and fit
Also check that none of the connections leak.
Also check that adjacent drawers and cupboards
can be opened when the dishwasher door is open.
Step 6. Securing the dishwasher
1. Pull out the upper basket, and the centre basket
if present, and turn the basket stop on the
runner outwards.
2. Remove the upper basket, and the centre
basket if present, by pulling the basket(s) out as
far as possible. This is to make more space
available during installation.
3. Remove the lower basket. Otherwise it easily
rolls out if you need to adjust the dishwasher
during installation.
4. Connec. Screw the dishwasher to the worktop
from the inside or to the cabinets on either
side. If the worktop is a hard material, such as
marble, screw the dishwasher to the side
cabinets. Use the supplied plastic spacers when
screwing the dishwasher into place!

5. Cover the screw holes on the sides with the
supplied plastic plugs. Push in the plugs
diagonally to fit them in place.
6. Check that the dishwasher's two front steel feet
are solidly placed on the floor, that is, the
dishwasher is not hanging in the air. Otherwise
turn the front feet to lower them.
Also adjust the rear foot if necessary so that the
dishwasher is level.
7. Tighten the lock nuts on the front feet with
6mm open-ended wrench.
Step 7. Attaching the toe kick (if applicable)
When fitting the kickboard, choose a size best
suited to the installation. Start by testing the high
kickboard. If the dishwasher door hits the
kickboard when opened, change to the lower
kickboard. For installations with a worktop height
of 900 mm, the higher kickboard is recommended.
For installations with a worktop height of 850 mm,
the lower kickboard is recommended.
1. Attach the supplied sound insulation material to
the back of the kickboard (certain models only).
If you use the low kickboard, adjust the height
of the insulation material by removing the thin
strip.
Adjust the height of the insulation material
30
2. Loosen the holders for the kickboard by moving
the grey catches to the side.
3. Adjust the holders (pull out or push in) until
they are on a level with the surrounding kitchen
plinth.
4. Lock the holders in place by pushing each catch
into a suitable notch in the holder.
5. Hang the toe kick on the holders.
6. Check that the toe kick is in line with the
surrounding kitchen toe kick, that is, at the
same depth. Loosen and adjust the holders as
necessary until satisfied.
