Loading the dishwasher
Greener dishwashing
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Run programmes only with a full load
Wait to run a programme until the dishwasher is full, this way you save energy. Use the Rinse and hold programme to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.
Run programmes at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a programme with a low temperature.
Select ECO wash
This programme is intended for cleaning normally dirty dishes and is the most effective programme in terms of combined energy and water consumption.
The dishwashing programme is designed for an effective wash using as little energy and water as possible. The programme washes at a low temperature for a long time.
Select Green mode
The dishwasher has different programme modes. To save energy and water, use Green mode. (Available with: Normal wash, Daily wash)
Open the door a little once the programme has finished
Better drying results are achieved if you use the Auto Open option, which automatically opens the dishwasher door. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the programme has ended and the dishes have cooled before unloading the dishwasher. (If the dishwasher is built-in the surrounding furnishings must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water connection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand strong heat.
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons.
Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others can be damaged by dishwashing detergent.
Exercise caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic.
Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Wash fragile items made of crystal/glass, such as crystal glass from
Orrefors, using the gentle dishwashing programme Crystal glass.
Remember to use a small amount of detergent and to place items so that they do not touch each other during the wash.
Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with clear and spotless dishes.
Hand-painted glassware, as well as antique and very fragile items, should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the silver can become discoloured.
Aluminium
Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminium pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles may loosen.
Points to consider
• All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!
• Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
• Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the top cutlery tray.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Cutlery basket with lid
Foldable tines
Lower the foldable tines (plate supports) when washing pots. Release the foldable tines by pressing the catch inwards before adjusting their position.
The cutlery basket lid can be removed and used, for example, as an extra cutlery basket in the upper basket (see below).
Washing large plates
Move foldable tines and their mounts to widen the distance between the tine rows to adapt the lower basket to plates with a diameter greater than 25 cm.
Cutlery 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.
The cutlery basket is best placed in the middle at the front of the lower basket to best utilise dishwashing performance from the unique spray nozzle (Power Zone Cutlery™), which is intended for the cutlery basket.
WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the points down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other baskets.
Fold-down section for small items
The cutlery basket has a fold-down section in the middle for small items, or small shafts, such as electric whisk attachments.
