Check the 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. If you have a machine with a 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 Winter storage/Transport · 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. 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. 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 your refuse collection department or your local authority for information on the correct way to dispose of the machine! The machine 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 `Troubleshooting' on pages 26-28. 6 Child Safety! Child-safe button lock To prevent children starting the machine, you can activate a button lock. Proceed as follows: 1. Switch off the dishwasher with the main switch. 2. Press and hold the Temperature button, and at the same time switch on the main switch. 3.Press the Drying button until "Child lock" appears in the display. 4. Select: On with the Temperatur button. 5. Continue with the Drying button until you get back to the main menu or press the Start/stop button. 6. A key symbol appears in the display if you have activated the child lock. To deactivate the button lock temporarily when you want to start the machine, press the Temperature and Drying buttons simultaneously.

Detergent compartment cover 5 10 Basic Course Below are step by step instructions to help you achieve the best possible dishwashing results. 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 available) or in the upper basket. Check that the spray arms are able to move freely. See the section entitled Fragile Items if you want to wash objects that may be fragile. Load the baskets correctly! Your dishwasher is equipped with Super Cleaning SystemTM. It is therefore 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, wine glasses should be placed on the shelf with the wavy edge, and knives in the knife stand if present. NB! Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards or downwards! Dispensing dishwasher detergent Detergent should be dispensed in accordance with the water's hardness level. 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, or placed in three alternative positions. 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). 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. CAUTION! Protect your children! - Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! 11 NB! Only use dishwasher detergent Detergent for washing by hand cannot be used as the build-up of foam impedes the machine's performance. Lower basket wash When you only want to wash plates and cutlery in the lower basket you can use the lower basket wash. Delicate wash If the dishes are not heavily soiled, you can select Light wash. This program is intended for glass and china which has just been used and therefore does not need such a powerful program. Fragile dishes can be washed using the Light wash program. Deselect the heat dry if you want to be particularly careful. See also the chapter on Fragile dishes. 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. Rinse & Dry The Rinse & Dry program comprises one rinse with heat and drying. It is a suitable program if you are planning to make jam and want to rinse and warm previously washed glass jars. If you wish to use additional options, continue to point 4. Otherwise you can now start the machine, see point 5. Press the main switch and select programme Select a programme by pressing the programme selector one or more times until the required programme is displayed. Auto wash The dishwasher detects how soiled the dishes are and adjusts water consumption and temperature accordingly. Heavy wash The Heavy Wash programme 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 with 65°C and normal drying. To save more water and energy use 55°C and economy drying. Mixed wash This dishwashing programme is used for lightly soiled dishes in the upper basket and heavily soiled dishes in the lower basket. Upper basket wash If you only have cups and glasses in the upper basket which require washing, you can use this programme. 12 Options Select options To select an option, press one of the option buttons Drying You can select different drying time lengths depending on how dry you want your dishes to be when the machine has finished. The temperature can be selected in all programmes except Auto wash, Rinse & Hold and Rinse & Dry programmes. By pressing the drying button you can select `Short drying', `Economy drying' (the drying symbol is shown in the form of a wavy line) or `Normal drying' (the drying symbol is shown in the form of three wavy lines) . Temperature The temperature can be changed in all programmes except the Auto wash, Rinse & Hold and Rinse & Dry programmes. By pressing one or more times on the Temperature button, you can advance to the desired temperature, from cold (incoming water temp.), 30°, 40°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°C. In the Delicate wash and Quick wash programmes you can only select temperatures up to 60°C. 13 Eco-dishwashing Only perform washes with a full machine Waiting to run the wash until the machine is full saves energy. Wash at a lower temperature If the load is only lightly soiled, you can lower the temperature. Select program with Economy drying To save more energy - use Economy drying. You will get a better drying result if you leave the door slightly open after the end of the program. 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! Connect to cold water supply If the machine is connected to the cold water, the operating time will be longer, as it takes longer to heat up the water. However, the extended washing time means that it is possible to operate a program with a lower washing temperature and still achieve the same results. 14 Specialsettings Language, Child lock, Buzzer volume, Water hardness, Temperature unit, Machine information, Reset machine to the original settings You will probably only need to adjust these settings when the machine is new.

Hold in the Programme button while pressing the main switch The machine will reset itself to the original settings (with the exception of water hardness and language). 15 Buzzer volume If you wish, the machine will emit a buzzer signal to let you know when it is finished. Press Start/Stop and close the door The dishwasher will now start. It manages the entire wash automatically. Ensure that the door is properly closed or the machine will not start. Changing options If you want to change program after having started the machine, 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. NB! If the power is switched off, or if the door is open for more than 2 minutes during drying, the program is interrupted. After dishwashing Once the machine has finished, it is only drawing 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 even quicker drying, allow the door to stand slightly ajar. 16 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. Wood Wooden articles should only be machine washed if they are labelled as dishwasher proof. Fragile decoration China with decoration on top of the glaze (the article has a rough feel) 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. Crystal/ glass Place the articles 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. 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. Silver Silver and stainless items should not come into contact with each other as the silver can discolour. Cutlery with glued handles Certain types of adhesive cannot withstand machine washing. In such cases the handles can come loose. 17 Standard program Program Tested program Press Program Auto wash Heavy wash Normal wash Normal wash Options How the machine works Temperature Pre-wash with SCS* (number) Main wash (number) Rinse & Dry (number) Final rinse 40-60°C 0/1 1 2/3 60°C Yes 70°C 2 1 3 70°C Yes 55°C -1 2 60°C Yes 65°C 2 1 2 70°C Yes Fan Consumption values 1.

When you have started 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 can be slightly misleading as the machine is estimating the time. If the programme takes longer than expected, it displays 1 minute until the programme is finished. 20 Cleaning Cleaning The dishwasher's inner container is made of stainless steel and is kept clean through normal use. 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! Coarse filter Tubular strainer Fine filter After 300 dishwashing cycles, `Clean filter' appears in the display (applies only to certain models and markets). 1. The fine filter is removed by first turning the tubular strainer of the filter anti-clockwise and then lifting it straight up. 2. Clean with a dishwashing brush. Ensure that the edges are properly sealed when replacing the fine filter. The message is cancelled by pressing on one of the buttons or the main switch. 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 21 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. 22 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 1-6: the harder the water, the higher the dosage. When the water hardness exceeds 10-12 odH you should use rinse aid with citric acid (acid rinse aid) if the machine does not have a water softening filter. If the machine 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! 23 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, the salt symbol on the display* lights up (this function is not available on all machines). 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. 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. Move the float arm up and down to loosen it. 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. Cover for the salt compartment *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! 24 Fault indications Display Overfilling Water inlet fault Type of fault Too much water in the machine Fault in the water inlet Action Phone for service Check that the tap is open Shut off the tap and phone for service See `Possible causes' in chapter Troubleshooting Clean filters, see chapter Cleaning Inlet valve leakage Inlet valve leakage Drainage fault Blocked drain Blocked filter Clogged filter To remove the fault indications from the display, turn off the main switch and then turn it back on again. 25 Troubleshooting Problems The dishes are not clean.

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. 30 Connection to water 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 relating to 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 sink unit.

Adjusting machines with six feet (freestanding dishwasher) 1. Adjust the height of the dishwasher with the four steel feet. 2. Lock the feet with the nuts. NB! The dishwasher must not be allowed to lean more than 5 mm. Stålfötter Steel feet 5. Check that the height of the machine corresponds to the height from the floor to the underside of the work surface. Tighten the locking nuts (locking nut) on the rear feet. 6. Push the dishwasher into place. 7. Finely adjust the front feet (the machine may lean max. 5 mm) and tighten the locking nuts. C. Adjusting machines with adjustable foot 1. Start by measuring the height from the floor to the underside of the work surface. 2. Install the sliding feet on the dishwasher. 3. After the steel feet have been adjusted, screw down the two rubber feet tightly against the floor. The rubber feet now work as anti-tilt protection. B. Adjusting machines with three or four feet 1. Start by measuring the height from the floor to the underside of the work surface. 2. Install the sliding feet on the dishwasher. 3. Measure the height from the floor to the top edge of the dishwasher. 4. Tilt the dishwasher forward a fraction and roughly adjust the rear foot by screwing the set screw at the front clockwise to raise or anti-clockwise to lower (illustrated below). Use a broad screwdriver or a hexagonal head screwdriver. 5. Adjust the front feet by turning them clockwise to raise or anti-clockwise to lower. 6. Check that the height of the machine corresponds to the height from the floor to the underside of the work surface. 7. Push the dishwasher into place. 8. Finely adjust the feet (the machine may lean max. 5 mm) and tighten the locking nuts on the front feet. 3. Measure the height from the floor to the top edge of the dishwasher. 4. Adjust all the feet by screwing them clockwise to raise or anti-clockwise to lower. 32 Not all models To prevent kinks, pull the drain hose and the connecting pipe. Fitting fixed kick-plate Adjusting the plinth (Only if you have kick-plate as accessory) The dishwasher has two kick-plates (certain models). The taller one should be used if the machine is to be 850 - 870 mm high and the plinth depth can be varied between 45 - 105 mm. The lower one is to be used if the machine will be 820 - 845 mm with a plinth depth of between 50 - 105 mm. Attach the enclosed felt insulation to the kickplate (some models). Set the correct plinth depth as follows: 1. Press the grey catches towards each other and pull out the holders as far as required. Press in the catches so that they lock the brackets in place. 2. Hang the kick-plate onto the holders by inserting it into the grooves. Fitting strip seal (on the floorplinth covering plate) Proceed as follows: 1. Remove the plastic plinth by gripping with both hands under the plastic plinth(A), and breaking outwards and upwards. B A 2. Undo the two screws on the covering plate(B). 3. Glue the accompanying rubber strip(C) to the underside of the covering plate (against the floor). 4. Screw the covering plate back into place. Adjust the covering plate so that the rubber strip is just in contact with the floor. Screw the dishwasher into place If the machine is to be screwed in at the sides, the enclosed plastic plugs are used for covering the screw holes. After fixing check that the front feet are in contact with the floor. x x C 5.
