Usage Features
The dishwasher offers a user-friendly interface with programme buttons, a display showing remaining running time and basic settings, and buttons for timer programming and additional functions.
Basic Operation:
- Switching on/off: The appliance can be switched on by pressing the ON/OFF button. It automatically switches off after 10 minutes of inactivity or 1 minute after a programme ends (4 seconds if the door is opened immediately after the programme).
- Programme Selection: Users can select a suitable programme based on the soiling level and tableware type.
- Additional Functions: Functions like ExtraDry (increased final rinse temperature for better drying), Extra Rinse (additional rinse cycle), and Hygiene+ (higher temperature for enhanced hygiene) can be activated.
- Timer Programming: The start of a programme can be delayed by up to 24 hours.
- Starting/Interrupting Programmes: Programmes are started with the Start button and can be interrupted by opening the door and pressing the Start button again.
- Terminating Programmes: A programme can be terminated by pressing Reset for 4 seconds.
Tableware Arrangement:
- Heavily soiled items should be placed in the bottom basket.
- Tableware should be arranged stably to prevent tipping.
- Cutlery with sharp points should face downwards.
- Containers should be placed with openings facing down to prevent water collection.
- Spray arms must not be blocked.
- Small parts should not be placed in the tablet collecting tray.
Settings:
- Water Softening System: Adjustable from H:00 (off) to H:07, depending on water hardness. Special salt is required for water hardness above 8 °E.
- Rinse Aid System: Adjustable from r:00 (off) to r:06. A higher setting improves drying and reduces water marks.
- Sensors: Sensitivity settings (SE:00, SE:01, SE:02) adjust programme strength based on soiling.
- Efficient Dry: Automatic door opening during the drying phase can be activated (o:01) or deactivated (o:00), or activated only for the Eco 50°C programme (o:02).
- InfoLight: A spot of light projected onto the floor indicates programme status.
- Tone Volume: Adjustable for signal and button tones.
- Home Connect: Enables remote control and access to additional programmes via the app.
Maintenance Features
Regular cleaning and servicing ensure optimal performance and longevity of the appliance.
- Cleaning the Tub: Remove coarse soiling with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning Products: Use suitable cleaning products for dishwashers. Avoid solvents, highly caustic alkaline or acidic cleaning agents with aluminium parts, and hand washing-up liquid.
- Machine Care: Run the Machine Care programme (70 °C) periodically without tableware using specialized machine care products. This helps remove deposits and ensures optimal cleaning.
- Filter System: The filter system (micro, fine, and coarse filters) should be checked for residue after each wash and cleaned under running water. The filter cleaning nozzle can be activated in basic settings to reduce manual cleaning frequency.
- Spray Arms: Limescale and soiling can block nozzles. Spray arms should be unscrewed, removed, and cleaned regularly to ensure proper water distribution.
- Wastewater Pump: If water does not drain properly, the wastewater pump may be blocked. It should be cleaned by removing the pump cover and clearing any food remnants or foreign bodies from the impeller area.
The manual also provides troubleshooting guidance for common faults, including water protection system activation, supply hose issues, water pressure problems, and cleaning performance issues, often directing users to customer service or specific maintenance steps. Information on transportation, storage, and disposal of the appliance is also included.
