Caring for the environment  
Energy saving washing  
This dishwasher is exceptionally  
economical in the use of water and  
electricity. For best results follow these  
tips:  
^ 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.  
^ Make full use of the baskets without  
overloading for the most economical  
washing.  
^ 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.  
^ When using powder or gel 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.

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.  
– 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]).  
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 below:

^ Remove the lower basket from the  
wash cabinet and unscrew the salt  
container lid.  
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.  
When opening the salt container,  
water will run out. Open the  
container only to refill salt.  
Filling the salt container  
Important: The salt container must  
be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water  
before adding salt for the first time  
so the salt can dissolve

properly. Water does not have to be  
added with subsequent refills.  
Therefore, if your tap water hardness is  
above 4 °d (4 gr/gal) the water should  
be softened. The built-in water softener  
is designed for this purpose. The water  
softener is suitable for a water hardness  
up to 70 °d (73 gr/gal).  
,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.

– Water pressure: Must be between  
4.5 - 145 psi (0.3 - 10 bar).  
,Do not drink water from the  
dishwasher!  
– If the water pressure if lower, a  
"Water Intake" notification will be  
shown. See "Frequently Asked  
Questions" for more information.  
– 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.  
– If the water pressure is higher than  
shown, a pressure reducing valve  
must be used.  
Ensure that the water connection is  
secure after the first use.  
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.  
,To prevent damage to the  
dishwasher, it must only be  
connected to a fully vented drainage  
system.  
– To use the "Energy Saver" program, a  
hot water connection of minimum  
115°F / 45°C and maximum 140°F /  
60°C (water intake temperature) is  
necessary.  
,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 higher the water intake  
temperature, the better the cleaning  
and drying results.  
– 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  
connected to a water supply valve or  
to an appropriate coupling.
