Need help?Do you have a question about the Blomberg GSN 9120 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is an instruction manual for a Blomberg Dishwasher, model GSN 9120. It provides comprehensive information on the appliance's function, usage, and maintenance, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
The dishwasher is designed for washing dishes in the home, offering a convenient and effective solution for cleaning soiled items. Before its first use, it is recommended to operate the dishwasher on the Prewash or Economy program without dishes to ensure proper functioning and remove any residual water from quality control processes. The appliance features a water softening system, which is crucial for preventing limescale and watermarks, especially in hard water areas. Users are guided on how to determine their local water hardness level using a provided test strip and adjust the dishwasher's settings accordingly. This adjustment is vital for optimizing washing effectiveness and preventing damage to dishes and the machine.
For operation, the dishwasher requires special pelletized salt for the water softener, which must be added immediately before starting a wash program to prevent corrosion. The manual explicitly warns against using other types of salts, as they can damage the appliance. Detergent use is also detailed, allowing for various types such as powder, gel, and tablet detergents designed for household dishwashers. Proper dosage is emphasized to avoid scratches on dishes or detergent residue. The manual also discusses "two-in-one" and "three-in-one" combined detergents, outlining their specific usage conditions and potential impacts on drying performance and limescale formation. It advises on adjusting rinse aid settings and adding salt even with phosphate-free detergents to mitigate white marks on dishes.
The rinse aid dispenser should be filled with rinse aid specifically intended for dishwashers to prevent watermarks and enhance drying. The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be adjusted via a regulator, with a factory preset level, allowing users to fine-tune it based on drying results.
Loading the dishwasher correctly is highlighted as a key factor in achieving optimal washing, drying, and energy performance. The manual provides guidance on arranging dishes in the upper and lower baskets, as well as the movable cutlery basket. It suggests placing large or heavily soiled items in the lower basket and smaller, delicate items in the upper basket. Special attention is given to long-stemmed glasses, which should lean against the basket or racks, not against other dishes, to prevent damage. The upper basket features a variable height setting, allowing users to adjust its height even when fully loaded, to accommodate taller items. The lower basket includes folding plate support rods, providing flexibility to create more space for larger items like saucepans and bowls.
Operating the dishwasher involves a series of steps: turning on the water tap, ensuring spray arms can rotate freely, adding detergent, closing the door, pressing the on/off button, checking salt and rinse aid levels, selecting a program, and pressing the start/stop button. Users are cautioned against opening the door during operation due to hot water and steam, though a safety mechanism will stop the machine if the door is opened. After the program finishes, dishes should be allowed to cool for 15-30 minutes, and leaving the door ajar can improve drying results. Unloading should begin with the lower rack to prevent water drops from falling onto already removed dishes.
Maintenance features are crucial for the dishwasher's longevity and performance. Regular cleaning of spray arms and filters is recommended, at least once a week. The manual details how to remove and clean the main, coarse, and micro filters, emphasizing the importance of correct re-positioning to avoid poor washing results. The upper and lower spray arms also require cleaning to remove food particles that may block nozzle holes. Users are instructed to unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply before cleaning. For cleaning the door seal and control panel, a neutral detergent and damp cloth are advised, with a strict warning against abrasive detergents. If the appliance is not used for an extended period, it should be switched off, the water supply turned off, and the door left ajar.
The manual also includes a comprehensive troubleshooting guide to help users identify and resolve common issues before calling for service. This guide covers problems such as spotting, filming, poor cleaning, small particles on items, oversudsing, dishes not drying, scratches on glassware, detergent cakes, chipping/breakage of dishes, and odors in the dishwasher, providing possible causes and solutions for each.
Overall, the Blomberg Dishwasher GSN 9120 is designed for user-friendly operation and maintenance, with detailed instructions to ensure optimal performance and durability.
