Caring for the environment
Energy saving washing
Disposal of the packing
material
This dishwasher is economical in the
use of water and electricity. For best
results follow these tips:
The cardboard box and packaging
protect the appliance during shipping.
These materials are biodegradable and
recyclable. Please recycle.
^ For lowest energy consumption you
may connect the dishwasher to a
cold water source.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children.
Danger of suffocation!
^ For fastest possible wash times, with
slightly higher energy consumption,
connect the dishwasher to a hot
water source.
Disposal of an old machine
^ Make full use of the baskets without
overloading for the most economical
washing.
Old appliances may contain materials
that can be recycled. Please contact
your local recycling authority about the
possibility of recycling these materials.
^ Use the correct amount of detergent
and rinse aid. Detergent dosage is
dependent upon the amount of
soiling and type of dishware being
washed. See the "Program Guide" for
more information.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. Before discarding an old
appliance, unplug it from the outlet, cut
off its power cord and remove any
doors to prevent hazards.
^ When using powder or liquid
detergent, reduce the amount to 2/3
of the normal amount when washing
a small load.
^ Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.

Before using for the first time
Water hardness
The water hardness factory setting is
15°d (16 gr/gal).
To achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs soft water. Hard
water results in calcium deposits on
dishware and in the dishwasher.
If your tap water hardness is above 4 °d
(4 gr/gal [US]), the water should be
softened.
If this setting matches your water
hardness you need not read any
further.
However, if you have a different water
hardness you must adjust the water
softener to match your water hardness.
– Your local water authority will be able
to advise you of the water hardness
level in your area.
– The dishwasher must be
programmed to correspond to the
water hardness in your area.
– In areas where the water hardness
fluctuates (e. g. 37 - 50 °d
[39 -52 gr/gal]) always program the
machine to the higher value (in this
example 50 °d [52 gr/gal]).
It is useful to know your water hardness
so that you can provide the service
technician with this information in the
event of any service calls.
If there is a fault, it will help the service
technician to know the hardness of your
local water supply.
Please note your water hardness

Before using for the first time
Filling the salt container
Every dishwasher is tested before
leaving the factory. Any water
remaining in the machine is from the
final factory test and does not
indicate that the machine has been
used.
To achieve good cleaning results, the
dishwasher needs soft water (water that
is low in minerals). Hard water results in
calcium deposits on dishware and in
the dishwasher.
Therefore, if your tap water hardness is
above 4 °d (4 gr/gal) the water should
be softened.
,Inadvertently filling the salt
container with dishwashing
detergent (including liquid
detergent) will damage the water
softener.
,Only use water softener salt
specially formulated for
dishwashers. Other salts may
contain insoluble additives which
can impair the water softener.
If using "Tab" products which
include salt, still add salt to the
machine to achieve optimal cleaning
results and ensure long-term
functioning of the water softener.

Items not recommended for
dishwashing
Glassware:
– There are no standard guidelines for
washing glassware, when in doubt
wash by hand.
– Cutlery with wooden handles
– Wooden cutting boards
– When purchasing new dishes,
glasses and cutlery, make sure they
are dishwasher safe. Only wash
items marked "dishwasher safe" in
the dishwasher.
– Glued items such as old knives with
handles glued together around the
shank of the blade
– Handmade craft items, antique,
metal trimmed or decorative
glassware
– If fine glassware is washed in the
dishwasher select the "China &
Crystal" program*. This will reduce
the risk of clouding.
– Plastic items that are not heat
resistant
– Copper, brass, tin or aluminum
Silver and aluminum:
– Dishes with color painted over the
glaze. These dishes may fade over
time
– Silver or aluminum items may tarnish.
– Silverware previously cleaned with a
silver polish may be damp or spotted
at the end of a program where water
has adhered to the polish. This can
be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth.
Silver that has been cleaned in an
immersion dip is usually dry at the
end of a program, but may tarnish.
– Fine glassware and crystal items
should only be washed using the
"China & Crystal" program*.
Otherwise clouding or etching may
occur after frequent washing.
– Cast iron pots and pans
– If left to dry, foods containing sulfur
can discolor silver. These include
egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise,
mustard, fish and marinades.
* depending on model
– Silverware may tarnish or pit if
washed next to stainless steel.
Leave space between these metals.
If unsure whether your china and
crystal are dishwasher safe, please
check with the manufacturer. The
China & Crystal program*, although
extremely gentle and thorough can
cause the china and crystal to "wear"
if they are not dishwasher safe.
– Clean aluminum items, e.g. grease
filters, with domestic dishwasher
detergent only.

,Do not drink water from the
dishwasher!
Ensure that the water connection is
secure after the first use.
– The dishwasher can heat its own
water to the temperature required by
the wash program. This allows for
connection of the machine to either a
hot (max. 140°F / 60°C) or cold water
source.
,To prevent damage to the
dishwasher, it must only be
connected to a fully vented drainage
system.
For lowest energy consumption you
may connect the dishwasher to a
cold water source.
For fastest possible wash times, with
slightly higher energy consumption,
connect the dishwasher to a hot
water source.
,Do not cut the intake hose. If the
hose is cut, the dishwasher will not
work. There will be a water leak. If
the hose is too long, coil it neatly
and place it behind or under the
machine.
– The inlet hose is approximately 5 ft.
(1.5 m) long.
– The water inlet hose comes
equipped with an inlet hose ending
with a 3/8" female compression
fitting. This can be directly
