IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE WARNING! This manual does not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense and caution should always be used when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance. • Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. • Dishwashers must be electrically grounded. Read the Installation Instructions for details. • Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose.
BEFORE WASHING FOR THE FIRST TIME WATER SUPPLY The machine can be connected to either a hot (max. 160 °F, 70 °C) or cold water supply. We recommend a cold water supply. The water pressure should be 4.2-140 psi. See also the section Economic dishwashing in the chapter Loading the dishwasher. PROGRAM KEY Some dishwashers include program keys in different languages. Attach the program key in the appropriate language to the top of the door.
LOADING THE DISHWASHER ECONOMIC DISHWASHING Run programs only with a full load Wait until the dishwasher is fully loaded before running a program, this way you save energy. Use the Rinse & Hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odors while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded. Run programs at a lower temperature If the dishes are only lightly soiled, you can select a lower temperature with certain programs.
UPPER BASKET Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and saucers in the upper basket. Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right (if equipped). Lowering the upper basket 1 Pull out the upper basket. 2 While holding the basket, pull out the two locking handles on either side to lower the upper basket. NOTE! All dirty surfaces should face in and down! MIDDLE BASKET The middle basket's wire basket with spray pipes is suitable for short objects.
LOWER BASKET CUTLERY BASKET Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots, and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket. Place cutlery with the handles facing down, except for knives, and spread them out as much as possible. Ensure that spoons do not stack inside each other. Place pots and pans in the rear of the lower basket to best utilize dishwashing performance from the two rear spray nozzles (Double Power Zone™ Pots & Pans), which are intended for these types of dishes.
USING THE DISHWASHER ADD DETERGENT Recommended detergent amounts based on water hardness Water hardness Detergent amounts Soft (0-3 grains per gallon) Prewash 1 teaspoon Main wash 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons Medium (4-8 grains per gallon) Prewash 1 teaspoon Main wash 1 to 2 tablespoons Hard (9+ grains*) Prewash 1 teaspoon Main wash 2 to 3 tablespoons *12 grains and higher is extremely hard water.
Heavy wash Program for very dirty dishes, such as pans, casserole dishes, and oven dishes. If these dishes do not completely fill the dishwasher, you can add plates and other dishes that can withstand a Heavy wash to fill out the load. Normal wash Use to wash normally soiled dishes, and even dishes with dried leftovers, such as plates, serving dishes, cups, glasses, and so on. Daily wash A program suitable for day-to-day dishwashing.
Long dry A higher temperature in the final rinse and a longer drying phase improves the drying result if you activate the Long dry option. This causes a slight increase in energy consumption. This option can be used with all programs except Time program, Rinse & Dry, and Rinse & Hold. This option cannot be activated if the Time saver option is selected. If you want a program with Short dry, press again so that the field under the button turns off.
IF THE DISHWASHER IS TURNED OFF USING THE ON/LEFT-ON MODE BUTTON OR DUE TO A POWER FAILURE ONCE THE PROGRAM HAS FINISHED If the program was not finished, the interrupted program resumes when power is restored. A buzzer also sounds at the end of the program. See the section Settings, which describes how to change this function. NOTE! During drying, the program is interrupted if the power is cut or the door is open for more than 2 minutes.
