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.

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.
