Using the dishwasher
Add detergent
Press to open
1 Prewash detergent compartment
2 Main wash detergent compartment
Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. This dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also entails greater environmental impact.
The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent. There is one compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If powder or liquid dishwasher detergent is used, add a small amount of the detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact the detergent manufacturer if you have questions about the detergent.
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid. There is a risk that the detergent will not be released properly if the lid is tight and will not open correctly.
NOTE!
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programmes
(less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher detergent instead.
All-in-one detergent
There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read through the directions for these products carefully.
When using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid, you can activate the setting TAB. Note that the salt compartment must be filled with salt.
NOTE!
Optimal washing and drying results are achieved by using normal dishwasher detergent together with separately dispensed rinse aid and salt.

Select a programme to suit the type of dishes and how dirty they are.
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.
You can read more about greener dishwashing in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
Normal wash
Powerful programme for daily use that can remove dried leftovers, but is not intended for burnt food, such as on oven dishes. This programme provides maximum rinse effect, and takes longer than Daily wash.
Auto wash
The dishwasher can measure how dirty the dishes are and adjust water consumption and temperature accordingly. When newly installed, the programme needs to be run five times before it is fully adapted and can provide the best results.
Daily wash
An effective programme for daily use for slightly dried leftovers. (This programme is not intended for burnt food, such as on oven dishes.)
Time program
The programme adapts to the specified running time or finish time.
With this programme it is important to choose a time suited to how dirty the dishes are.
0:15-0:45
1:00-1:30
2:00-2:30
Slightly dirty dishes
Normally dirty dishes
Very dirty dishes
Press the option button to set the desired programme time.
Rinse and hold
Used to rinse dishes while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded.
Plastic wash
A programme intended for washing plastic items that are dishwasher safe. This programme has an extra long drying cycle. Porcelain and glasses can also be washed.
Hygiene wash
This programme is ideal to use where demands on hygiene are extra high, e.g. for baby bottles and cutting boards. The temperature is high both in the main wash and in the final rinse.
Crystal glass
A gentle dishwashing programme with a low temperature for washing fragile items made of crystal/glass, such as crystal glass from Orrefors.
Remember to use a small amount of detergent and to place items so
that they do not touch each other during the wash. See also Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher. Porcelain that has just
been used without dried leftovers can also be washed using this programme.
Quick Pro wash
Shorten the dishwashing programme by preheating the water. This programme is not intended for dried leftovers. Remember to scrape off larger food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Step 1: To prepare the programme, press Start/Stop until the display shows "Preheating". Close the door. (The spray arms rotate while the water is being preheated.) Wait until the status light turns green and the display shows "Preheating ready", which indicates that the dishwasher is ready to start (within 180 minutes).
You can load the dishes while the water is being preheated.
Step 2: To start the programme, press Start/Stop until the display shows
"Program started, close door". Close the door properly, otherwise the dishwasher will not start.
Self-cleaning
Self-cleaning programme for hygienic cleaning of the dishwasher tub, spray arms and spray pipes.
This programme should be run (with no dishes in the machine) using normal dishwasher detergent or citric acid. Special dishwasher cleaners are also available on the market. For the removal of limescale deposits,
see The dishwasher tub in the chapter Care and cleaning.
Upper half wash
You can use this programme if you only have cups and glasses that need washing in the upper basket. Slightly dirty dishes can also be placed in the lower basket.

How to get the best drying results
• Fully load the dishwasher.
• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
• Top up with rinse aid or increase the rinse aid dosage level.
• Activate the Auto Open option.
• Activate the High temperature setting. See the chapter Settings.
• Allow the dishes to cool before unloading the dishwasher.
Unloading the dishwasher
Hot porcelain is more fragile. Leave the dishes to cool in the dishwasher before unloading them.
Unload the lower basket first to avoid any water drops from the upper basket falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.
Status light
The status light at the bottom on the dishwasher provides information by means of 3 different colours.
Blue - Load more
The programme has started, but you can still load more dishes.
