Important safety instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE WARNING! When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following: • Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. • Use the dishwasher only for its intended function. • Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
Important safety instructions Child safety • Always keep small children away from the machine when it is open. There may be some detergent residue left inside the machine. • Always close the door and start the dishwasher as soon as you put in the detergent. • If dishwasher detergent gets in someone’s eyes, rinse them with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. • Should a child swallow dishwasher detergent or rinse aid, give plenty to drink immediately, i.e., one or two glasses of milk or water.
Important safety instructions Contact your municipality for information about where and how your dishwasher can be recycled correctly.
Before washing for the first time 1. Water hardness In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher. Contact the local water utility to check the water hardness in your area. This is important to determine how much detergent and rinse aid to use. In general, more rinse aid and detergent are needed for hard water. 2. Basic settings Open the door and press the main power switch.
Before washing for the first time Table continued from last page Add rinse aid 1. Open the rinse aid compartment lid. 2. Carefully top up with rinse aid to the level marked max. 3. Wipe up any spilled rinse aid around the compartment. 4. Close the lid firmly. To change the chosen setting, see the chapter Settings.
Greener dishwashing The dishwasher saves energy and water When using a dishwasher in a residential setting, less energy and water are generally used compared to washing the dishes by hand. Do not rinse under running water Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water consumption. Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Loading the dishwasher Fragile dishes Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high temperatures, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent. Use caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminum, wood, and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
