Getting Started

2.1 Add Detergent

Use detergent tabs, fresh powdered detergent or liquid detergent. For quick cycles, use powdered or liquid detergent instead of tabs.

Tip: The dispenser lid should slide closed easily.

2.2 Add rinse aid

This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid, which enhances drying results and shine.

Tip: Remove lid of the bottle for easier pouring and avoid the air vent.

NOTICE: The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be adjusted in the settings. Only change the setting if streaks remain on the dishes (lower the amount), or if dishes are not getting dry enough (increase the amount).

2.3 Start your dishwasher

  1. Press the On/Off button.
  2. Select a cycle and option if desired.
  3. Press Start.

Tips

3.1 Loading tips

Scan the code with your smart phone to watch the video on the best practices for loading dishes and avoiding some common mistakes.

  • Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Failure to do so may result in injury.
  • To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided.

3.2 Maintenance tips

  1. Clean surfaces with damp cloth and mild soap. NOTICE: Do not use abrasives or bleach based cleaners. Do not use stainless steel cleaner on black stainless or anti-finger print surfaces.
  2. Clean the filter 3-12 times a year, depending on usage.
  3. It is also recommended to run Machine Care program to keep the tub clean. It is accessible through the Home Connect® app.

3.3 Usage tips

  1. Use rinse aid.
  2. Scrape food off, do not rinse.
  3. Adjust upper rack for large items.

Troubleshooting and error codes

Why is food remaining on dishes after I run the cycle?
It is possible the dishes do not have adequate clearance between them. Also, be sure nothing is blocking the spray arms and that the filter is clean. Select the Heavy cleaning cycle.
Why does the cycle run a long time?
Sensors in the dishwasher automatically increase the cycle time to ensure a good wash when heavy soil is detected. Incoming water may not be hot enough and dishwasher has to heat it.
