Detergent and Rinse-Aid Usage:
- Use only dishwasher-specific detergents and keep them out of reach of children.
- Fill the detergent dispenser before each program; add extra detergent to the pre-wash chamber for heavily soiled dishes.
- Rinse aid is essential for streak-free drying and is automatically released during the hot rinse phase.
- Adjust rinse aid dosage based on drying results (increase for spots, decrease for blue stains).
- The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener system. Fill the salt compartment with dishwasher salt (and water on first use) to prevent lime residues. The salt level can be adjusted based on water hardness.
Maintenance Features
General Maintenance:
- Before any maintenance, switch off the appliance, disconnect the mains plug, and turn off the water tap.
- Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a month.
- Wipe door seals regularly with a dampened cloth to remove residues.
- Clean the machine with a fine cleaning material and a dampened cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
- If oil or lime accumulates, run a high-temperature program without dishes and detergent.
Filter Cleaning:
- Check coarse and fine filters for food wastes.
- Remove and thoroughly clean filters under running water if clogged.
Spray Arm Cleaning:
- Check upper and lower spray arm holes for clogging.
- Remove spray arms (pull lower arm upwards, turn upper arm nut to the left) and clean under water.
- Ensure nuts are perfectly tightened when refitting.
Troubleshooting:
The manual provides a detailed troubleshooting guide for common issues such as:
- Program not starting (e.g., not plugged in, door open, fuse blown, water inlet tap closed).
- Water remaining inside (e.g., clogged drain hose/filters, program not finished).
- Machine stopping during washing (e.g., power failure, water inlet failure).
- Shaking/hitting noises (e.g., spray arm hitting dishes).
- Partial food wastes (e.g., incorrect loading, insufficient detergent, wrong program, clogged spray arms/filters).
- Whitish stains (e.g., insufficient detergent/rinse aid, high water hardness, salt compartment cap not closed).
- Dishes not drying (e.g., drying option not selected, rinse aid dosage too low, poor stainless-steel quality).
- Rust stains (e.g., insufficient dish quality, high salt level, salt compartment cap not closed, spilled salt, poor grounding).
- Detergent remaining (e.g., detergent compartment wet before use).
Automatic Fault Warnings:
The dishwasher uses LED indicators and specific fault codes (FF, F5, F3, F2, F8, F1, F7, F9, F6, HI) to signal issues like water inlet system failure, pressure system failure, continuous water input, inability to discharge water, heater error, overflow, overheating, divisor position error, faulty heater sensor, and high voltage failure, with corresponding recommended actions.
