Check water hardness level Phone your local Water Board to check the water hardness in your area. This is important when dispensing dishwasher detergent and rinse aid. Take care with certain materials Read the section `Fragile dishes' before washing china with unglazed decoration or other household goods made of plastic, wood or crystal requiring careful treatment. Machine with water softener Once you know the water hardness, you can set the water softener, see Settings. Before you start dishwashing, you must also fill with salt, see Salt. Check the door 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 instructions or consult the installer. 5 Safety General · Read and keep the directions for use! · Installation of water, drainage and electricity must be carried out by a qualified professional. · Do not use the dishwasher for any purposes other than those stated in these directions for use. · Do not load the dishwasher door or the dishwasher baskets with anything other than dishes. · Only use dishwasher detergent! · Place knives and other sharp objects so that they cannot cause injury to people or damage the dishwasher. Never put dishes containing solvent residue in the machine due to risk of explosion. Neither may dishes containing ashes, wax or lubricating grease be washed in the dishwasher. Packaging materials Sort at source in accordance with the recommendations of your local authority. Scrapping When the time comes for the machine to be scrapped, it should immediately be rendered unusable. Remove the plug and cut off the lead as short as possible. Contact the refuse collection department or your local authority for information on the correct way to dispose of the dishwasher! The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling. Winter storage/Transport Store the machine away from frost. Avoid long journeys in extreme cold. Transport the machine in an upright position or lying on its back. Overfill protection The overfill protector starts pumping out water and closes off the water intake if the machine's water level exceeds the normal level. If the overfill protector starts up, shut off the water supply and phone for service. See also `Troubleshooting' on pages 23-25. Cleaning Only use a slightly damp cloth for cleaning around the edge of the door. Do not use a spray bottle! Water can penetrate into the lock and come into contact with the electrical components. 6 Child safety! Child-safe dishwashing · Always close the door and start the program immediately once dishwasher detergent has been added. · Keep children away from the dishwasher when it is open. There might be the remains of dishwasher detergent present! · Do not allow children to use or play with the dishwasher. Always take particular care when the door is open. Protect your children! - Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Store dishwasher detergent and rinse aid out of the reach of children! Should dishwasher detergent be swallowed, immediately drink one or two glasses of milk or water. Do not attempt to induce vomiting. Contact a doctor! Should dishwasher detergent come into contact with the eyes, rinse (for at least 15 minutes) with copious amounts of water. 7 Parts of the dishwasher* 1. Knife basket 2. Upper basket 3. Spray arms 4.

See Fragile dishes, if you want to wash articles that may be fragile. Load the baskets correctly! Your dishwasher is equipped with Super Cleaning SystemTM. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before washing. Simply remove large food particles and debris. Convenient and environmentally friendly! Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and dishes in the upper basket. Dispense dishwasher detergent Detergent should be dispensed in accordance with the water's hardness level. Follow the dosage instructions on the detergent package. If your dishwasher 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. NB! Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards or downwards! Place dinner plates, side plates, serving dishes, saucepans and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket. 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, e.g. silver and stainless steel, in the same compartment (risk of stains). Check that the spray arms are able to move freely. CAUTION! Protect your children! - Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! NB! Only use dishwasher detergent Detergent for washing by hand cannot be used as the build-up of foam impedes the machine's performance. 11 Switch on the main switch and close the door Select program Select a program by pressing the program selector one or more times until the required program is displayed. Heavy soil The Heavy soil program should be used for heavily soiled dishes, e.g. saucepans, pots and gratin dishes. If there is still space in the machine after loading such items, you can add plates etc. Normal wash Used for washing normally soiled dishes such as plates, serving dishes, cups and glasses, etc. For washing normally soiled mixed loads use the Normal wash program normal temperature normal drying . and with Quick wash Select Quick Wash if the dishes are very lightly soiled. This program is used for very lightly soiled glass and china, e.g. coffee cups. Rinse & Hold For rinsing the dishes while waiting for the machine to be filled. If you wish to use further options continue to point 5. Otherwise you can now start the dishwasher, see point 6. To save more water and energy use economy temperature and economy drying. 12 Options Select options To select an option, press one of the option buttons. Temperature With the temperature option button you can select the wash temperature yourself. You can vary the temperatures as follows: Normal Economy Heavy soil: 70°C 55°C Normal wash 65°C 55°C Quick wash: 50°C 30°C The field next to the button lights up if you have selected the normal temperature. The selection remains until changed. Drying If you require a better drying result, you can press the Normal drying button. The field next to the button lights up. Should you require a programme with Economy drying ­ press again and the light will go out. Cannot be used in the Rinse & Hold programme. Press Start The dishwasher will now start. It manages the entire wash automatically. Ensure that the door is properly closed or the machine will not start. The circle around the Start/ Stop button lights up progressively as dishwashing progresses. Changing options If you want to change program after having started the dishwasher, press the Start/Stop button for three seconds. Then select a new program and press the Start/Stop button. Do you want to load more dishes? Open the door; the machine stops automatically, put in the dishes, close the door and the dishwasher will continue from where it left off. If the machine is switched off with the main switch (or in the event of a power cut) before the washing program has been completed, the interrupted program will continue when power comes back on. 7 After dishwashing When the dishwasher has finished, the whole circle around the Start/Stop button will be lit up. It will then only consume standing current. Should you wish to disconnect the current completely, just switch off at the main switch. Turn off the water tap if the machine is not to be used for an extended period, e.g. during holidays. Advice! For quicker drying allow the door to stand slightly ajar. 13 Eco-dishwashing Only perform washes with a full machine Put off dishwashing until the machine is full, and in this way you will save energy. Do not rinse before dishwashing Thanks to the dishwasher's Super Cleaning SystemTM you do not need to rinse the dishes under running water before loading them into the machine. Choose environmentally-friendly dishwasher detergent Read environmental declarations on the package! 14 Fragile dishes A number of household goods are not suitable for machine washing. There can be many reasons for this. Certain materials cannot withstand intense heat, others can be damaged by the dishwasher detergent. Cutlery with glued handles Certain types of adhesive cannot withstand machine washing. In such cases the handles can come loose. Fragile decoration China with decoration on top of the glaze (the article has a rough feel) should not be machine washed. Wood Wooden articles should only be machine washed if they are labelled as dishwasher proof. Crystal/ glass Place the articles so that they do not knock together during the wash. Antique and very fragile items should not be machine washed. Aluminium Aluminium can be dulled by machine washing. However, good quality aluminium saucepans can be machine washed, although a reduction in lustre should be expected. Silver Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact with each other as the silver can discolour. Plastic Certain types of plastic cannot withstand the high temperature generated in machine dishwashing. To protect plastic articles Select a program with Economy temperature and Economy drying. 15 Standard program Program Tested program Press Program Heavy soil Normal wash Normal wash -- Quick wash Quick wash -- Options How the machine works Temperature Pre-wash with SCS* (number) Main wash (number) Rinse & Dry (number) Final rinse 70°C 2 1 3 70°C Yes 65°C 2 1 2 70°C Yes 55°C -1 2 60°C Yes 30°C -1 2 60°C Yes 30°C -1 2 --- Fan Consumption values 1.

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 The coarse filter collects large food particles which cannot get past the outflow pump. Lift out and empty the coarse filter as necessary. Don't forget to replace it! Tubular strainer Coarse filter Fine filter The residue which collects on the fine filter is automatically rinsed off with each wash. The fine filter should still be cleaned once or twice a month. 1. Remove the fine filter by first turning the filter's tubular strainer anti-clockwise and then lifting it straight up with the coarse filter. 2. Clean with a dishwashing brush. Ensure that the edges are properly sealed when replacing the fine filter. Fine filter Drainage pump The pump can be accessed from the inside of the machine. 1. Always remove the plug from the wall socket before you clean the pump. 2. Remove the coarse screen first by pressing together the two lugs and pulling the screen upwards. 3. Now loosen the tubular part of the screen by turning it anticlockwise and removing the fine screen. 4. Finally remove the small adapter to the left of the bottom drain. 5. It's possible, by inserting your finger in the hole, to turn the pump impeller and remove any blockage. 6. Refit the adapter and screens. 7. Insert the plug in the wall socket. Adapting piece 18 If you still cannot start the machine and a humming noise can be heard, then the overfilling protection has been activated. · Shutoff the water · Remove the plug from the wall socket · Call Service CAUTION! Do not forget to replace the adapting piece. 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. 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 picture). 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 similar 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 similar around the door catch. Tip! In order to prevent bad odours in the dishwasher, clean the strips and corners with a dish brush and low-lather detergent. 19 Rinse aid Pour in rinse aid Drying proceeds more quickly if you use 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 knob for dosage setting. Alter dosage if required. Do not forget to close the cover. Select dosage The dispenser is usually set at 1= soft water. However, depending on the water hardness, it may be necessary to change the dosage. Open the rinse aid cover . Here you will find the dispenser's adjustment dial. Settings 16: the harder the water, the higher the dosage. Where the water hardness exceeds 1012 odH you should use rinse aid with citric acid (acid rinse aid) if the dishwasher does not have a water softening filter. If the dishwasher has a water softening filter, dispense as for soft water. 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. *NB! After filling there may be a short delay before the signal light goes out. Machines with refill indicator There is a refill indicator in the middle of the dispenser (see picture). 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). Open Refill indicator Closed Cover for rinse aid Open by turning and lifting the cover! 20 Salt Pour in salt (applies to dishwashers with water softeners) 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. First pour in approximately 1 litre of water. 3. Then fill the compartment with max 1.5 kg 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, 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. Cover for the salt compartment CAUTION! Never pour dishwasher detergent into the salt compartment. The water softener will be ruined! 21 Settings Setting water hardness If you have a dishwasher with a water softener, you may need to change the setting depending on the water's hardness level.

Built-in installation 550 820-870 570 20 CAUTION! Connection to electricity, water and drainage must be carried out by a suitably qualified person. A. Built-in The dishwasher can be built in under a worktop with a working height of 820 - 870 mm. The width measurement must be at least 600 mm. For additional measurements, see picture. B. Freestanding A freestanding dishwasher must be fitted with anti-tilt. This comprises two fastening irons which are screwed into place as illustrated. The dishwasher is then pushed in so that the fastening irons grip onto the rear feet. The dishwasher cannot now tilt in the event a load is placed on the open door. If the dishwasher is to be fully freestanding, both side panels and the work top should be fitted. These accessories can be purchased where you purchased the dishwasher. Tip! A machine with side panels and a counter top (freestanding) can, of course, also be installed as a built-in unit. 820870 570 100150 600 175 50 -23 0 50-10 5 Freestanding installation 413 45 5- 47 5 600 CAUTION! A fully freestanding dishwasher must be fitted with anti-tilt. C. Semi-freestanding If the dishwasher is positioned so that either side is visible, a side panel can be fitted. These accessories can be purchased where you purchased the dishwasher. 28 Connection to water supply There must be a shut-off tap on the water supply pipe. The shut-off tap should be positioned above the work surface or at the front of the sink unit. The water supply pipe has a connection with a 1/2" or 3/4" internal thread depending on country. When the installation is complete, the shutoff tap should be opened to allow the pressure to settle for a while and to check that all connections are tight. Connection to drainage When the drain hose is routed to a connection nipple at the sink's water trap (see illustration 1), note that the hose must be fastened level with the underside of the sink unit ­ otherwise the dishwater from the sink can run down into the dishwasher. The drain hose is threaded onto a cone-shaped connecting pipe at the sink unit's water trap. The cone-shaped pipe must be cut to an internal diameter of at least 16 mm. For other alternative connections, see illustrations 2 and 3. The drain hose may be lengthened by a maximum of 3 m (the total length of the drain hose may not exceed 4.5 m). Any connections and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 16 mm. However, the drain hose should ideally be replaced with a new hose without joins. No part of the drain hose may be more than 950 mm above the bottom of the machine. The hose must not be routed directly to the floor drain or similar. In such cases, the hose can act as a siphon and empty the dishwasher. The hose must always discharge at least 350 mm above the bottom of the machine. Connection to electricity A dishwasher fitted with a lead and plug must be connected to an earthed socket. Repairs and maintenance affecting safety or performance must be carried out by a qualified professional. Technical data See the type plate on the right hand side of the door. CAUTION! The lead must be disconnected or the socket voltage-free while the work is carried out! Connection to drainage NB! The hose must be fastened level with the underside of the work surface.
