Program Selection: The dishwasher offers various programs, including Hygiene (increased temperature to 70°C for sanitization), 1 Hour (for normally soiled loads needing quick wash), ECO (standard program for normally soiled loads), Rapid (shorter wash for lightly soiled loads), and Self-Cleaning (for cleaning the dishwasher itself).

Child Lock: A safety feature to prevent children from operating the appliance.
Adding Dishes Mid-Cycle: Possible before the detergent is released by opening the door slightly, waiting for spray arms to stop, adding dishes, and then closing the door.

Maintenance Features

External Surfaces: Clean with a soft, moist cloth. Avoid abrasive detergents or sharp cleaners.
Door and Door Seal: Regularly clean food residue from the door gasket with a soft, moist cloth. Remove any residue from the sides of the door before closing.
Control Panel: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use spray cleaners to prevent water ingress.
Filter System: The filter system at the bottom of the dishwasher needs regular checking and cleaning. This involves unscrewing and lifting the strainer, removing the fine filter, and rinsing them under running water. Filters must be correctly replaced to ensure appliance effectiveness.
Spray Arms: Regularly clean the spray arms to prevent clogging from hard water chemicals. This involves unscrewing the nuts, removing the spray arms, and cleaning the jets with a soft brush.
Frost Protection: In winter, the dishwasher should be protected from freezing by disconnecting power, turning off and disconnecting the water inlet hose, draining water, and reconnecting the hose. The filter should be removed, and any remaining water collected with a sponge.
Long-Term Storage: If not used for a long time, run an empty washing program, unplug the appliance, close the water supply, and leave the door slightly ajar to protect gaskets and prevent odors.
Troubleshooting: The dishwasher displays error codes (e.g., Rapid light flicker for longer inlet time, Rapid and Self-Clean light flicker for not reaching required temperature, ECO light flicker for overflow) to help identify problems. A troubleshooting table provides possible causes and solutions for common issues like the dishwasher not starting, dishes not drying, or stains on dishes.
Recycling: The appliance and its packaging are made of recyclable materials. The product is marked with the crossed-out waste container symbol, indicating it should not be disposed of with normal municipal waste but taken to an electronic waste collection and recycling point.
Disposal: Before scrapping, disconnect the plug, cut the power cord, and damage the door lock to prevent risks.
