Protecting against freezing If the dishwasher is placed in an environment where the temperature sometimes fall below 0° C, there is a risk that the small amount of water which remains inside the parts of the dishwasher will freeze and damage it. To prevent this you should: 1. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher. 2. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses. 3. Make sure that there is coarse-grained salt in the salt container for the water softener. The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at normal room temperature. The manufacture is not responsible for any frost damage. 6 Instruction book General information Economical and ecological dishwashing Only connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply, if your hot water is not electrically heated. G Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted. G Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water. G Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soiling on the dishes. G Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse aid than is recommended in this instruction booklet and by the detergent manufacturer. G For washing in the dishwasher the following are not suitable: - wooden platters - plastic items that are not heat resistant - lead crystal glass - pewter or copper items - bonded cutlery items or dishes - older cutlery with cement that is not temperature resistant - cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother of pearl handles For washing in the dishwasher the following are of limited suitability: - Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher safe by the manufacturer. - Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently. - Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use. - Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes. Make sure you always buy articles that are dishwasher safe. 7 Instruction book Description of the appliance 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 Spray arm Coarse filter/microfilter Fine filter Detergent dispenser Rinse aid dispenser Salt container 8 Instruction book The control panel A Indicator and control lamps Display On/Off button Water softener button Delay start button Programme buttons Combination buttons "A" In addition to selecting a programme, you can by pressing these two buttons adjust the setting of the water softener and cancel a programme in progress.

This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener, where tapwater which is harder then 4°d (german degree) is descaled with special salt. Adjust the water softener according to the table below for the water hardness level for your area. Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water hardness level for your area. The water softener has 5 settings: Water hardness °d mmol/l 1) 2) Setting on the water softener 5 4 3* 2 1 no salt is needed Number of light flashes 5 4 3 2 1 > 24 18 - 24 12 - 18 4 - 12 below 4 > 4,2 3,2 - 4,2 2,1 - 3,2 0,7 - 2,1 below 0,7 1) german degree of measurement for the water hardness 2) millimol, internationel unit for water hardness *) factory setting The dishwasher must be switched off. 1. Press the On/Off button. 2. Press the combination buttons simultaneously and hold them pressed in. When the first three programme indicator lamps starts to flash, you can let go of the buttons. 3. Press the water softener button once. The lamp for the water softener start to flash. The display shows the hardness setting. 4. The water hardness level is raised by 1 step every time you press the water softener button. After hardness level 5 comes hardness level 1. 5. Press the On/Off button when the required water hardness level is selected. This saves the selection. If the setting 1 is chosen, the salt indicator lamp is not lit. 10 Instruction book Filling with salt for the water softener Caution! Use only salt designed for dishwashers. Never fill the salt container with any another type of salt or dishwasher detergent as this would irreparably damage the water softener. Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have a packet of dishwasher salt in your hand. 1. Unscrew the filler cap to the salt container anticlockwise. 2. Fill the salt container with water (only the first time). 3. Fill the container with coarse salt, using the funnel supplied. 4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage around the filler opening. 5. Screw the filler cap back properly in place. Fill with dishwasher salt: When the indicator light on the control panel is lit. 11 Instruction book Filling the rinse aid Use of rinse aid will result in cleaner and faster drying of the load, since it helps water and soil to run off. Too much rinse aid may result in streakiness, too little may cause white spots. Caution! Only use rinse aid specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substance (e.g. vinegar concentrate or dishwasher detergent) as this would damage the appliance. The rinse aid dispenser is on the inside of the dishwasher door. 1. Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch towards the compartment and lift the lid. 2. Fill up with rinse aid; do not overfill. Maximum inhold ca. 150 ml. 3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive foaming during the next wash programme. 4. Close the lid and press until it locks again. Fill with rinse aid: When the indicator light on the control panel is lit. Adjusting rinse aid dosing The dispenser holds about 150 ml. This is enough for approx. 60 wash cycles, depending on the dosage setting. Adjust the dosage setting according to the hardness of the water. You can set the dosage between 1 - 6, equivalent to 1 - 6 ml rinse aid. Factory setting is 1. Begin at the lowest dosage setting and increase if necessary by turning the setting arrow with e.g. the handle of a spoon. 12 Instruction book Filling with detergent Caution! Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers. The detergent is released into the wash water during the programme. Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. 1. Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch towards the compartment. 2. Filling with detergent. Pre-wash detergent is poured into the smaller compartment to the left when needed. 3. Close the lid. Avoid frequent use of liquid detergents, as the long term effects of such detergents create a potential risk of increasing pump noise. Detergent tablets Detergent tablets of different makes dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use normal programmes with pre-wash when using detergent tablets. 13 Instruction book Programme chart Type of dishes Type of soil: Plates and cooking pots · heavily soiled · dried-on food remnants especially eggwhite and starch Suitable programme: Programmecycle: 1) All types of dishes · normally soiled · dried-on food remnants INTENSIVE CARE 70° Pre-wash Washing 2 x rinses Final rinse Drying 107 minutes 13 minutes NORMAL 65° Pre-rinse Washing Rinse Final rinse Drying 84 minutes 13 minutes Washing time with drying: 2) Drying time: 2) Energy: Water: 2) 1,15 kWh 9 litres 0,80 kWh 7 litres 2) 1) Noise levels vary at different stages of the wash programme as at some programme stages the dishes are washed more energetically so that they will be cleaned more thoroughly. 2) The consumption figures were determined under standard conditions.

All programme cycles begins with a drainage. 14 Instruction book All types of dishes · normally soiled · lightly soiled Coffee cups, delicate items · lightly soiled ECO 55° Pre-rinse Washing Rinse Final rinse Drying 159 minutes 54 minutes GLASS 50° Washing Rinse Final rinse 36 minutes - 30 MIN 40° Washing Rinse Final rinse 31 minutes - 0,63 kWh 7 litres 0,40 kWh 6 litres 0,35 kWh 6 litres 15 Instruction book Loading the dishes Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down. G Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc.) so that the water can run off when drying. G Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each other. This is particularly important in regard to the cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. simply cannot be properly washed. The water must get at all the soiled surfaces. G Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other items do not protrude through the openings in the basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating. G Never put silver and stainless steel objects together. When these metals come into contact with each other a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver. G When washing delicate items, select the programme with the lower wash temperature. G Substances such as ketchup containing strong colouring agents can cause temporary discolouration to the interior of the dishwasher. G Caution! Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the main basket. The cup shelves can be placed in two different levels.

Check that the following accessories are supplied: ­ A funnel for filling salt (1) ­ Elbow for discharge hose (2) 1 2 4 Positioning The dishwasher is intended to be installed on a kitchen sink, worktop or built-in. To function properly, make sure that the appliance is level. Its height can be adjusted with the adjustable feets (5 mm each). See the illustration for built-in measurements. 24 Position- and connection instructions Water inlet The dishwasher is equipped with safety features which are to prevent the water from going back to the fresh water system. These features are according to current water technical safety regulations. The temperature of the water supply should not exceed 65° C and the pressure should be between 80-1000 kPa (0,8 - 10 bar). It is important to have a tap or stopcock, positioned close to the dishwasher and with easy access. Special mixer taps with dishwasher connections are available, as well as adaptors for older mixer taps. Connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" pipe thread. The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form of extension hose. If it is too short, the entire hose must be replaced with a longer high-pressure hose, specially designed for the purpose. The end of the hose, which is connected to the dishwasher can be turned in any direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose, then retighten the nut. Check that the nut and all other connections are tight before the machine is moved into position. Use only the inlet hose supplied to the dishwasher, do not reuse the old inlet hose. 25 Position- and connection instructions Water drainage To protect the dishwasher against water damage it is equipped with a water safety system. In the event of a fault the drainpump starts automatically and the remaining water inside the dishwasher is pumped out. The water safety system also works when the dishwasher is switched off. However the dishwasher must be connected electrically. Place the discharge hose over the sink as illustrated. It must not at any point be higher up than 75 cm over the surface which the dishwasher is standing on. If it runs higher, operation of the dishwasher might be impaired. It is also important to ensure that the inside diameter of the hose is not less than 13 mm at any point. If the discharge hose is too long, it can easily be cut to the right length. 1. Cut the hose to a suitable length, using a sharp knife. 2.
