4 BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
Preparing your dishwasher for first use
• Make sure the electricity and supply water
specications match the values indicated in
the installation instructions for the machine.
• Remove all packaging material inside the
machine.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.
Detergent usage
Only use detergents specifically designed for
domestic dishwashers. Store detergents in cool,
dry places out of reach of children.
Add the proper detergent for the selected cycle
to ensure the best performance. The amount of
detergent needed depends on the cycle, load
size, and soil level of dishes.
Do not overfill the detergent compartment.
Using too much detergent can cause
discoloration on glasses and dishes and glass
corrosion. Continued use of too much detergent
may cause machine damage.
Using too little detergent can result in poor
cleaning and whitish streaks, especially in hard
water.
See the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for
a further information.
Filling the detergent
Push the latch to open the dispenser and pour in
the detergent.
Close the lid and press it until it locks in place.
The dispenser should be refilled just before the
start of each cycle. If the dishes are heavily
soiled, place additional detergent in the pre-
wash detergent chamber.
DETERGENT
Using detergent pacs
These products should be used according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Never put detergent pacs into the interior
section or the cutlery basket.
Detergent pacs contain not only the detergent
but also rinse aid, salt replacement substances
and additional components depending on the
combination.
We recommend you do not use detergent pacs
in short cycles. Please use powder or liquid
detergents instead of detergent pacs in short
cycles.
If you encounter problems when using detergent
pacs, please contact the detergent manufacturer.
When you stop using detergent pacs, make sure
that rinse aid setting is set to the correct level.
Rinse-aid usage
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without
streaks and stains. Rinse aid is required for
stain-free utensils and clear glasses. The rinse
aid is automatically released during the hot
rinse phase. If rinse aid setting is too low, whitish
stains remain on dishes and dishes do not dry or
wash clean.
If rinse aid setting is too high, bluish layers on
glasses and dishes may be seen.
Filling the rinse-aid and setting
To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the rinse
aid compartment cap. Fill the compartment
with rinse aid to the MAX level and then close
the cap. Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid
compartment and wipe up any spills.
In order to change the rinse aid level, follow
the below steps
• Turn on the machine by pressing the Power
button.
• Press the Cycles button for at least 5
seconds immediately after the machine is
turned on.
• Release the Cycles button when “rA”
is shown. Next, the last setting level is
displayed.
• Set the level by pushing the Cycles button.
• Switch off the machine to save the setting.
USA - CAN - 15
The factory setting is “4”.
If the dishes are not drying properly or are
spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on
your dishes, decrease the level.

5 LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER
Proper loading of the dishwasher will help it run
efciently with the best possible washing and
drying performance.
The lower rack can accommodate large and
deep items such as pots with long handles,
pot lids, plates, salad plates and cutlery sets.
The upper rack has been designed for dessert
plates, salad bowls, cups and glasses. When
placing long stem glasses and goblets, lean them
against the basket edge, rack or glass supporter
wire and not against other items. Do not lean
long glasses against one another or they
cannot remain steady and may be damaged.
It is more appropriate to locate the thin and
narrow shaped items into the middle sections of
racks. Place spoons in separate openings of the
silverware basket and do not allow them to nest.
Use the silverware basket to obtain the best
cleaning result for spoons, forks, and knives. To
avoid any possible injuries, always place such
long-handle and sharp-pointed items as serving
fork, bread knife etc. with their sharp points
facing down or horizontally on the baskets.
WARNING: Place your dishes into your
machine in a way that they will not prevent the
upper and lower spray arms from spinning.
NOTE: Place all large and very dirty items
in the lower rack.
WARNING: Do not put in the appliance
items that can absorb water (sponges, household
cloths).
NOTE: Place all containers such as cups,
glasses and pots into the dishwasher with the
opening facing downwards (so that no water can
collect).
NOTE: Dishes and cutlery should not be
placed above each other.
NOTE: Do not overload your dishwasher
and pay attention to manufacturer instructions
regarding dishes which are appropriate for
use in a dishwasher. Only with suitable dishes
(mentioned in section 5) will you obtain optimal
washing results with a sensible use of energy.
High temperature water and dishwasher
detergent may form a chemical synthesis that
can damage certain items.
WARNING: Be careful when loading and
unloading sharp items. Load sharp knives with
the handles up to reduce the risk of personal
injury.
Follow the below steps before loading
dishwasher.
1. Open the door.
2. Remove coarse food leftovers from

NOTE: The cycle duration may change according to the amount of dishes, the water temperature,
the ambient temperature and selected additional functions.
NOTE: The energy-usage label is based on the “Normal” cycle. This cycle is the most efcient in
terms of its combined energy and water consumption at cleaning normally soiled dishes. The Energy
Guide Label is based on the normal soil detection cycle. In this cycle, the dishwasher was tested without
any rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser, with a single dose of detergent in the detergent dispenser and
detergent used for the prewash step. For cycles with prewash, a dose of detergent can be added on
the inside of the cabinet door. We recommend that the rack position for crockery loads be set to the
highest position as in the energy certicate test.
• Only use powder or liquid detergent for short cycles.
• Short cycles do not include drying.
• To assist drying, we recommend slightly opening the door after a cycle is complete.
