Instructions The safety aspects of HUSQVARNA electrical appliances comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, as a manufacturer we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information: · Never place the dishwasher in operation if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose is damaged; or the control panel, work top or plinth area is damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible. If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced for a longer lead, the cable (obtainable from HUSQVARNA customer service) must be changed by a service engineer authorised by HUSQVARNA. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable, always pull the plug. Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for safety reasons. Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the open door and hurting themselves. Sharp knives and items of cutlery with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery tray or in the upper rack. Installation, Connection and Placing into Operation · · The dishwasher may only be transported upright. Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Do not in any circumstances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your supplier. Prior to placing the appliance in operation, ensure that the nominal voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate. For information on how to correctly install and connect up your dishwasher, please read the "Installation" section. Multiway plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute a safety hazard. · · · · · · · Correct Use · Only wash household dishes using the dishwasher. If the appliance is used for other purposes, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer cannot accept any liability for any damage caused. Prior to use, ensure that the manufacturers of the special salt, detergent, and rinse aid employed specifically permit the usage of their products in household dishwashers. Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an explosion! The anti-flood system provides dependable protection against damage due to leaks. For this system to function correctly, the following preconditions must be met: ­ The appliance must remain connected to the mains even when it is switched off. ­ The dishwasher must be correctly installed. ­ Always shut off the water supply at the tap when the dishwasher is not to be used for longer periods, e.g. when you are away on holiday. Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appliance may tip over. In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains. If the appliance is permanently wired to the mains: switch off the fuse(s) or unscrew them. Child Safety · Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with the use of electrical appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure children are adequately supervised and that you do not allow children to play with the dishwasher ­ there is a risk that children can shut themselves inside the appliance (risk of suffocation!). Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children. Detergents can cause burns to the eyes, mouth, and throat, or even cause choking! Please observe the manufacturer's safety instructions for cleaners and detergents. The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for drinking. If there are still remnants of detergent in the appliance, there is a risk of burns! When disposing of the dishwasher: unplug from the mains, cut off and dispose of the mains cable. Break the door lock so that the door no longer shuts. · · · · · · · · · General Safety · Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer service or your dealer. 5 Dishwasher door safety catch The dishwasher has a door safety catch. This safety catch prevents children opening the dishwasher door by mistake. You can set the door safety catch as follows: 1. There is a catch on the left inside the door handle (1). To ensure that the dishwasher door cannot be opened unintentionally, push this catch across to the right (eg. with the handle of a spoon). 2. To open the dishwasher door once the safety catch has been set you must ­ first move the door handle to the left (2) until you feel slight resistance. ­ then push the door handle upwards (3) / forwards. 3. To cancel the dishwasher door safety catch, push the catch completely across to the left with your finger. 6 2 Disposal Disposing of the Packaging Material Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All the packaging materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recycled. · Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations: ­ >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material ­ >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-free) ­ >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips · Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling. Disposal of old appliances As and when you cease to use your dishwasher, please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer who will, for a small contribution to the costs, dispose of it for you. 2 Economical and Ecological Dishwashing · · · · Only connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply if your hot water is not electrically heated. Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted. Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water. When you wash a small load, the load sensor calculates the amount of water necessary and shortens the programme. It is more economical to always wash with a full load. Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soiling on the dishes. Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse aid than is recommended in these operating instructions and by the manufacturer of the respective product. · · 7 Appliance Features and Control Panel Top Spray Nozzle Rubber Seal for Connecting the Water Feed to the Spray Arm Spray Arms Water hardness switch Container for Special Salt Container for Detergent Container for Rinse Aid Rating Plate Filters 8 Control panel Function buttons Set start delay Multi-display 12 3 Dishwashing cycle buttons Indicators Door handle ON/OFF button The control field comprises the ON/OFF button and the cycle programme buttons with LED indicators. Function buttons: In addition to the dishwashing cycle selected, the following functions can also be set with the help of these buttons: Function button 1 Function button 2 Function button 3 Set water softener Activate/deactivate rinse aid inflow - not programmed - The multi-display can indicate: ­ the level of hardness to which the water softener is set. ­ whether the rinse aid inflow has been activated or deactivated. ­ the start delay that has been set. ­ the estimated time remaining for the current dishwashing cycle. ­ what type of error has occurred with the dishwasher. The indicators have the following meanings: V F 3 Refill with special salt Refill with rinse aid The indicators are never illuminated while a dishwashing cycle is running. Prior to using for the first time Prior to using for the first time, remove all the clips with which the dish racks are secured for transport. Then perform the following steps: 1. Adjust the water softener 2. Filling with Special Salt for the Water Softener 3. Filling with Rinse Aid 3 Special salt and rinse aid must not be added if you use 3-in-1 detergent tablets. 9 Set water softener To avoid scale deposits on the dishes and in the dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water, i.e. water with a low lime content. The dishwasher therefore has a built-in water softener, in which tap water with a hardness of 4°d (German degree) and harder is softened with the aid of special salt. 3 Your water supplier will be able to inform you about the hardness and hardness range of the water in your area. The water softener can be set manually using the water hardness switch; it can also be set electronically using the buttons on the control panel. Water hardness in 51 - 70 43 - 50 37 - 42 29 - 36 23 - 28 19 - 22 15 - 18 11 - 14 4 - 10 under 4 °d1) in mmol/l2) range Adjusting the hardness setting Manually Electronically 10 3) 9 8 7 6 5 4* 0* 3 2 1 no salt necessary Indication on the multi-display 10 L 9,0 - 12,5 7,6 - 8,9 6,5 - 7,5 5,1 - 6,4 4,0 - 5,0 3,3 - 3,9 2,6 - 3,2 1,9 - 2,5 0,7 - 1,8 under 0.7 9L 8L 7L 6L 5L 4L 3L 2L 1L IV 1 III II I/II I 1)(°d) German degree, measure of the hardness of water 2)(mmol/l) millimol per litre, international unit for the hardness of water 3)On this setting the length of the dishwashing cycle may be slightly longer. * Factory setting Adjust the water softener to the setting given in the table that corresponds to the hardness of the water in your area: The dishwasher must be switched off. Setting manually: 1. Open the dishwasher door. 2. Remove the lower rack from the dishwasher. 3. Turn the hardness range switch to 0 or 1 (see table). 4. Replace the lower rack. Setting electronically: 5. Press the ON/OFF button. The LED in the ON/OFF button will become illuminated. 3 If other indicators are also illuminated, this means that a dishwashing cycle has been activated. The dishwashing cycle must be deselected. Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds. All other indicators will go out. 10 6. Press the function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously and keep them pressed. The LED indicators in function buttons 1 to 3 will flash. 7. Press function button 1 again. The LED indicator for function button 1 will flash. The multi-display will indicate the hardness setting. 8. Pressing function button 1 increases the hardness setting by 1 degree. (Exception: hardness setting 1 follows hardness setting 10). 9. When the hardness setting is correct, press the ON/OFF button. The hardness setting is now saved. 11 Adding special salt to the water softener 3 If the water hardness in your area is less than 4 °d, then the water in your dishwasher does not need to be softened and you do not need to use special salt or salt substitute. Water can be softened in one of two ways: · If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt substitute, the detergent only is put into the detergent compartment. ­ In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and electronically to 1 to ensure that no special salt is added. If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt separately, the special salt is to be put into the salt supply container. ­ In this case the water softener must manually be set to 0 and electronically to between 2 and 10 (depending on the water hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is taken from the detergent container only. Use only special salt intended for dishwashers. Never fill the salt supply container with different types of salt (e.g. cooking salt) or detergent. This would destroy the water softener. Prior to filling with salt, please check each time that you really do have a packet of special salt in your hand. · 1 Setting the amount of special salt to be added 3 Some appliances are equipped with an additional 3 in 1 function. If you use 3-in-1 dishwashing tablets and select the 3 in 1 function together with the dishwashing cycle, the inflow of special salt does not have to be deactivated (see "3 in 1 function"). Set the water softener manually and electronically to the desired water hardness: Manual setting 0 0-1 Electronic setting 1 2 - 10 Multi-display indicator IL Addition of special salt Do not add special salt. Addition of special salt via salt supply container (factory setting) 2 L to 0 L 3 If the water softener is electronically set at "1" for the purpose of using detergent that includes special salt, the special salt indicator is deactivated. 12 Filling with special salt: If you are using dishwasher detergent and special salt separately, add the special salt: · Before using the dishwasher for the first time. · When the V indicator on the control panel is illuminated. 1. Open the door, remove the lower rack. 2. Undo the lid on the salt container by turning it anticlockwise. 3. Only when using for the first time: fill the salt container with water. 4. Place the funnel supplied on the container opening. Fill the container with special salt through the funnel; the capacity of the container is approx. 1.01.5 kg depending on the grain size. Do not overfill the salt container with special salt. LE SA ALT Z S AL S EL S 3 The water expelled by filling the salt container with special salt runs out of the salt container onto the base of the washing compartment. This is not a cause for concern, the water will be pumped out at the start of the next wash programme. 5. Clean any salt remnants on the container opening. 6. Turn the lid clockwise to the stop, otherwise special salt will leak into the wash water, this could lead to poor wash results. To avoid this run a rinse program after filling the salt container with special salt. This will wash away salt water and any salt crystals that have been spilt. Depending on the size of the salt grains, it can take several hours for the salt to dissolve in the water and the special salt indicator to extinguish. The setting of the water softener and thus the consumption of salt are dependent on the hardness of the local water. 3 V 13 Adding rinse aid Rinse aid ensures that your dishes gleam and are free from spots, and that your glasses are clear. 5. Once the multi-display is indicating the required setting, press the ON/OFF button. The setting is now saved. Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways: · If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid is put into the detergent compartment. ­ In this case the dispensing of rinse aid from the supply container must be deactivated to avoid a double dosage. If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, the rinse aid is to be put into the rinse aid supply container. ­ In this case the dispensing of rinse aid from the supply container must be activated. ­ The amount of rinse aid to be dispensed must be set. Use only branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid container with any another substance (e.g. concentrated vinegar) or dishwasher cleaning agent. This would damage the appliance. · 1 Activating/deactivating the inflow of rinse aid 3 Some appliances are equipped with an additional 3 in 1 function. If you use 3-in-1 dishwashing tablets and select the 3 in 1 function together with the dishwashing cycle, the inflow of rinse aid does not have to be deactivated (see "3 in 1 function"). 1. Press the ON/OFF button.The LED in the ON/ OFF button will become illuminated. 3 If other indicators are also illuminated, this means that a dishwashing cycle has been activated. The dishwashing cycle must be deselected. Press function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously for approx. 1 second. All other indicators will go out. 2. Press the function buttons 2 and 3 simultaneously and keep them pressed. The LED indicators in function buttons 1 to 3 will flash. 3. Press function button 2. The LED indicator for function button 2 will flash. The multi-display will indicate the current setting: 0d 1d Inflow of rinse aid is deactivated Inflow of rinse aid is activated (factory setting) 4. Pressing function button 2 will change the setting. 14 Adding rinse aid If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, add the rinse aid: · Prior to using the dishwasher for the first time · When the F indicator on the control panel is illuminated. The rinse aid compartment is on the inside of the dishwasher door. 1. Open the door. 2. Press the rinse aid compartment release button with your finger. 3. Fully open the rinse aid compartment lid. 4. Fill with rinse aid exactly up to the level marked "max"; this corresponds to a quantity of approx. 140 ml. 5. Close the lid and press until it locks into place. 6. Wipe up any spilt rinse aid with a cloth. Otherwise too much foam will be formed during the wash. Adjusting Rinse Aid Dosing 3 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. As the dishes are washed rinse aid is released from the dispenser into the wash water. The dose is factory set at 4, and can be adjusted from 1 to 6. Only change the setting if streaks, milky spots or dried on water marks are visible on glasses or crockery. Open the door of the dishwasher. Press the rinse aid compartment release button with your finger. Fully open the rinse aid compartment lid. Set the dose level. Close the lid and press until it locks into place. If rinse aid has run out, wipe up with a cloth. 15 In Daily Use · · · · · Is it necessary to refill with special salt or rinse aid? Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher Fill with dishwasher detergent Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes Start the wash programme Loading cutlery and dishes 1 Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher. For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes are not suitable: 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. ­ Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother of pearl handles ­ Plastic items that are not heat resistant ­ Older cutlery with cement that is not temperature resistant ­ Bonded cutlery items or dishes ­ Pewter or copper items ­ Lead crystal glass ­ Steel items subject to rusting ­ Wooden platters ­ Items made from synthetic fibres · · Before loading the dishes, you should: ­ Remove large left-overs. ­ Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note: ­ Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms. ­ Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base. ­ Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other ­ To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch ­ Do not lay small objects (e.g. lids) in the cutlery rack 16 Loading Cutlery 1 1 1 Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. To ensure that all items of cutlery are completely washed, you should 1. Place the grid insert on the cutlery rack 2. Place short knives, forks and spoons in the grid insert with their handles pointing downwards. Some models of dishwasher have cutlery baskets without a cutlery grid. 17 Loading Pans, Frying Pans and Large Plates Load large and heavily soiled dishes in the lower rack (Plates up to 29cm in diameter). Your dishwasher has one of the following two types of lower rack: Type 1: The rear plate insert in the lower rack can be removed 3 To make it easier to load large dishes, it is possible - to remove the plate inserts from the lower rack. - to move the cutlery basket sideways. Type 2: The rear plate insert in the lower rack can be folded on its side 3 To ease the loading of large items, - the two rows of prongs in the rear plate insert can be folded across one another. - the cutlery rack in the lower rack can be moved to the side. 18 Loading Cups, Glasses and Coffee Services Load small, delicate items and long pointed cutlery in the upper rack. · Arrange plates and dishes offset on and under the folding cup racks so that washing water can reach all items. · The cup racks can be folded up out of the way for tall items. · Lay or hang wine, champagne, and brandy glasses in the cut outs on the cup racks. · Glasses, beakers, etc. can also be placed on the two rows of prongs on the left of the upper rack. Adjusting the Height of the Upper Basket Maximum Height of the Dishes in the Upper Rack Lower Rack With upper basket raised With upper basket lowered 22 cm 24 cm 30 cm 29 cm 3 The height of the basket can also be adjusted when it is loaded. Lowering the Upper Basket: 1. Pull the upper basket out completely. 2. Holding the upper basket by the handle, lift it as far as it will go and then lower it vertically. The upper basket will engage in the lower position. Raising the Upper Basket: 1. Pull the upper basket out completely. 2. Holding the upper basket by the handle, lift it as far as it will go and then lower it vertically. The upper basket will engage in the higher position. 19 Filling with Detergent 1 Only use dishwasher detergent. Fill with detergent: Prior to the start of a wash programme (not for the pre wash programme). The detergent is released into the wash water during the programme. 2 Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. The detergent compartment is on the inside of the dishwasher door. 1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1). The lid springs open. 2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The markings indicate the dosing levels: "20" corresponds to approx. 20 ml of detergent, "30" corresponds to approx. 30 ml of detergent. 3. Close the lid and press until it locks into place. 3 If the dishes are very heavily soiled put additional detergent into the adjacent chamber (2). This detergent will take effect during the pre wash. 20 Use of "3 in 1"/ Combi Detergent Tablets General Advice These products are tablets with combined detergent/ rinse-aid and salt functions. 1. Before using these products you should first check that the water hardness in your supply is compatible with the use of these products as per the detergent manufacturers instructions (on the product packaging). 2. These products should be strictly used according to the detergent manufacturers instructions. Concentrated Detergent Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split into two basic types: ­ conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components. ­ low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes. 2 1 Do not place the tablets in the tub or the cutlery basket as this will result in poorer wash results. The tablets should be placed in the detergent doser. 3. If you encounter problems when using "3 in1" products for the first time then please contact the detergent manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on the product packaging). The use of 50 °C wash programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. For this reason 50 °C wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C programmes. Detergent Tablets 3 Special Advice When using combination products, the rinse-aid and salt lights are no longer useful. It may be helpful therefore to switch the rinse aid off - please note that only some dishwashers have this facility - and selecting the lowest possible setting for water hardness. For more information please refer to your instruction manual. If you decide to switch to the use of a standard detergent system we advise that you: · Refill both the salt and rinse aid compartments. · Switch the waterhardness setting to the highest possible position and run for three normal cycles without a load. · Readjust the waterhardness setting again according to the conditions for your region (as per the instruction manual). 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 wash programmes with pre wash when using detergent tablets. 21 Selecting the Wash Programme (Programme Table) Choose the most suitable wash programme with the aid of this table: Type of Dishes: in addition: Dinner Service and Pans ­ ­ heavy soiling; dried on leftovers ­ Coffee and Party Dishes with delicate glasses Dishes without Pans ­ dishes that have just been used, normal to slight soiling Particularly suitable when concentrated detergents are used.

This programme is not suitable when left-overs have dried on. The various stages in the wash programme have different sounds because the dishes are washed more intensely for short periods during certain stages of the wash programme to improve cleaning. The consumption figures were determined under standard conditions. They are intended as a guide only and depend on the loading. Variations can occur during normal usage. When the hardness setting is electronically adjusted to 10, the length of the dishwashing cycle may be slightly longer. 4) 5) 22 Start the dishwashing cycle 1.

The newly selected dishwashing cycle will start automatically following a countdown of the hours set. Load Sensing If a wash programme is started even though there are only a few dishes in the upper and/or lower rack, an intelligent electronic system adjusts the amount of water and the duration of the wash programme to the number of dishes. By this means it is possible to wash only a few dishes quickly and economically. At half load (6 place settings), up to 2 litres of water and 0.2 kWh of electricity are saved. Switching Off the Dishwasher Only switch the dishwasher off when the multi-display indicates "0" remaining programme time. 1. Press the ON/OFF button M. The ON/OFF but- ton M indicator extinguishes. 1 Hot steam may escape from the appliance when opening the door immediately after the end of the programme. Therefore: 2. Open the door carefully. Emptying the Dishwasher 3 · · Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing them from the appliance. Leave the dishes in the dishwasher for approx. 15 minutes after the end of the programme so that they dry better and can cool down. First empty the lower rack, and then the upper rack. By using this procedure you will avoid any water that may be remaining in the upper rack, dripping onto the dishes in the lower rack and leaving water marks. · 24 Care and Cleaning 1 · · Do not under any circumstances use furniture care products or aggressive cleaners. If necessary, clean the controls only with a soft cloth and pure warm water. Occasionally check the internal containers, door seal, and water inlet for soiling, clean if necessary. Cleaning the Filter 3 The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to a large extent self-cleaning. Nevertheless the filters should be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result. 1. Open the door, remove the lower rack. 2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse/ fine filter, microfilter and a flat filter. Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and remove. 3. Turn the handle about ¼ a turn anticlockwise and remove. 4. Take hold of the coarse/fine filter (1/2) by the handle with the hole and remove from the microfilter (3). 5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water. 6. Remove the flat filter (4) from the base of the washing compartment and clean both faces thoroughly. 7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the washing compartment. 8. Place the coarse/fine filter in the microfilter and press together. 9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop.

To compensate for unevenness in the floor and to match the height of the appliance to that of surrounding units extend the threaded feet by unscrewing : ­ use a screwdriver. For built-in, integrated and fully integrated dishwashers, the rear feet should be adjusted from the front of the appliance using a screwdriver. The drain hose, inlet hose and mains cable must not be kinked or crushed when the dishwasher is in position. The dishwasher must also be screwed on tightly to the work surface or to the adjoining units. This is essential to ensure the diswasher does not tip. · · · Depending on type, the dishwasher is to be installed as follows: Dishwashers That Can Be Integrated (see installation template supplied) 3 Width: The door of the appliance can be fitted with a wooden furniture door with the following dimensions 591 ­ 594 mm 16 ­ 24 mm dependent on - Recess height - Plinth height - The adjustment so that the unit matches the height of the adjoining units The exact height of the adjoining units must be measured at the place of installation. Thickness: Height: (variable) Weight: max. 8 kg If the facing panel is longer than 600 mm, the door of the appliance cannot be opened completely (the facing panel bumps against the plinth). If this is the case, the plinth must be cut out (see installation template) or the brace adapter for the extra long door BLT 60 must be used. You can obtain this with the E No. 911 239 008. 31 1 Built-In Dishwasher (see enclosed installation instructions) Free-Standing Appliances 1 can be set up as stand-alone without additional installation. If the dishwasher is set up next to a cooker, a heat-insulating, non-flammable plate must be mounted between the dishwasher and the cooker, flush to the top edge of the work surface (depth 57.5 cm). The plate should have aluminium foil on the side facing the cooker. If the dishwasher is installed underneath a kitchen work surface, the original work surface of the dishwasher is to be removed as follows: 1. Unscrew the screws from the positioning plates on the back (1). 2. Slide the appliance's work surface approx. 1 cm to the rear (2). 3. Lift the work surface at the front (3) and remove. 1 3 If the dishwasher is later used as a freestanding appliance, the original work surface must be re-mounted. The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable. 32 Connecting the Dishwasher Water Connection The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations. · The dishwasher can be connected to cold and hot water supplies up to max. 60 °C. · The dishwasher must not be connected to open hot water appliances or instantaneous water heaters. Permitted water pressure Lowest permitted water pressure: 1 bar (=10 N/cm2 =100 kPa) Highest permitted water pressure: 10 bar (=100 N/cm2 =1 MPa) Consult your installer if the water pressure is less than 1 bar. In the case of a water pressure greater than 10 bar, a pressure reduction valve must be used (available from your dealer). Connect the inlet hose 1 The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled when it is being connected up. Connect the threaded hose fitting (ISO 228-1:2000) on the water inlet hose to a tap with an external thread (¾ inch). The inlet hose is equipped either with a plastic or with a metal connection nut: ­ Tighten plastic hose connection nuts by hand only. ­ Metal hose connection nuts must be tightened using an appropriate tool. Finally, visually check that it is water-tight (ensure that the tap is not dripping). 3 · In order that access to the tap in the kitchen is not limited by the use of the dishwasher, we recommend the installation of an additional tap, or fitting a two way adapter to the existing tap. If you need a longer water inlet hose than that supplied, VDE approved complete hose sets are to be used. These are available from your local Service Force Centre. 33 3 The following section is only applicable to dishwashers that have a safety valve on the threaded hose fitting for the tap: Water inlet hose with safety valve After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running water and the draining pump in the dishwasher is switched on. 1 Please take care when installing the water inlet hose: ­ The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the double-walled water inlet hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water. ­ If the water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the mains plug immediately. ­ A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a specialist or Customer Services. 34 Water drain Drain hose 1 · The drain hose must not be kinked, crushed or entangled. Connecting the drain hose: ­ Maximum permitted height: 1 metre. ­ Minimum required height 40 cm above the lower edge of the machine. Extension hoses · Extension hoses are available from your dealer or customer service. The internal diameter of the extension hoses must be 19 mm to ensure that the function of the appliance is not impeded. Extension hoses may be laid a maximum of 3 metres horizontally; the maximum permitted height for the connection for the drain hose is then 85 cm. · Siphon connection · The outlet of the drain hose (ø 19 mm) fits all commonly available siphon types. The outer diameter of the siphon connection must be at least 15 mm. The drain hose must be fixed to the siphon connection using the hose clamp supplied. · If the dishwasher is fitted at a high position If the dishwasher is installed at a high level, and the drainhose connection is less than 30 cm from the bottom of the appliance, adapter kit ET 111099520 must be fitted. This is available from Customer Service. Water drain into wash basins (only possible with free-standing appliances) In the case that you wish to hang the drain hose in a wash basin, use a detachable hose elbow. You can obtain this from customer service under spare part number ET 646 069 190. 1. Fit the elbow to the drain hose. 2. Secure the drain hose against sliding off the edge of the wash basin. Pass a piece of cord through the hose elbow and fix it to the wall or the tap. 35 Leak Prevention System For protection from damage due to water leaks, the dishwasher is equipped with a leak prevention system. In the event of a fault, the safety valve in the water inlet hose immediately interrupts the supply of water to the appliance and the drain pump is activated. The remaining water in the appliance is automatically pumped out. 1 The leak prevention system also works when the appliance is switched off. Electrical connection 1 In compliance with electric company technical requirements for mains connections, hard-wired connections to the mains may only be made by approved electri-cians. When connecting the appliance, observe the German VDE regulations and, if applicable, any additional conditions required by your local electricity supplier. Following installation, live parts and live insulated wiring must not be accessible using a finger test in accordance with EN 60335/DIN VDE 0700. Information on the electrical connection can be found on the rating plate on the right side of the inner edge of the dishwasher door. If the appliance has a change-over switch, the additional instructions on the change-over diagram in the mains connector box must be observed. Prior to connecting ensure that the mains voltage and current rating at the site of installation match the nominal voltage and current rating given on the rating plate. The required fuse protection is also to be found on the rating plate. To isolate the dishwasher from the mains, remove the mains plug. Important: The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed. If the appliance is hard-wired to the mains supply, then it must be safely iso-lated from the mains within the electrical installa-tion with an all-pole (N,L1) isolator (eg. protective cut-out) with a contact gap of > 3 mm. 36 Connections The water inlet and drain hoses, as well as the mains cable must be connected beside the dishwasher because there is no space for them behind the appliance. The example plumbing and electrical installation given below can only be regarded as a recommendation; the actual situation where the dishwasher is to be installed will define the exact installation (available connections, local electricity and water board regulations for connecting up appliances, etc.).
