This document provides a comprehensive guide for operating and maintaining a dishwasher, covering its functions, usage, and troubleshooting.

Function Description

The dishwasher is designed to efficiently clean tableware using various programmes and settings. It features a water softening system to adapt to different water hardness levels, ensuring optimal cleaning performance and preventing limescale buildup. The appliance includes dispensers for special salt and rinse aid, which are crucial for effective washing and drying. Spray arms distribute water and detergent throughout the wash cabinet, while a filter system captures food remnants to prevent clogging. The Home Connect feature allows for remote control and monitoring via a mobile device, enhancing convenience and offering additional functionalities.

Usage Features

Setting up Home Connect: To begin using the smart features, users need to install the Home Connect app on their mobile device and follow the in-app instructions. A QR code is provided in the manual to facilitate easy connection. This feature enables convenient control and adjustment of settings from a smartphone or tablet.

Water Softening System: The dishwasher offers a water softening system with multiple settings (H00 to H07) to accommodate different water hardness levels, ranging from soft to hard. Users can consult a table of country-specific units in the instruction manual to determine the appropriate setting. To adjust this:

1. Press the designated button.
2. Press "Setup 3 sec." for 3 seconds to access basic settings. The display will show "Hxx" and then "set."
3. Repeatedly press "Start" until the desired water hardness setting is displayed.
4. Press "Setup 3 sec." for 3 seconds to save the setting.

Adding Special Salt: Special salt is essential for the water softening system. To add salt:

1. Unscrew and remove the lid of the special salt dispenser.
2. For initial start-up, fill the dispenser with water.
3. Add special salt until the dispenser is full. The water will be displaced. Never add detergent to this dispenser.
4. Replace the lid and turn to close. This should be done just before a programme starts to prevent damage to the appliance.

Adding Rinse Aid: Rinse aid helps with drying and prevents water spots. To add rinse aid:

1. Press the catch on the lid of the rinse aid dispenser and lift it open.
2. Add rinse aid up to the "max" mark.
3. Close the lid until it clicks into position.

Adding Detergent: Detergent is crucial for cleaning. To add detergent:

1. Add the appropriate amount of dry detergent to the dispenser.
2. Close the lid until it clicks into position.

Programmes: The dishwasher offers a variety of programmes tailored for different cleaning needs:

• Intensive 70°: For heavily soiled items.
• Auto 45-65°: Automatically adjusts settings based on soil level.
• Eco 50°: An energy-efficient programme.
• Speed 65° / Speed 45°: Faster programmes for lightly soiled items.
• Machine Care: A dedicated programme for cleaning the dishwasher itself.
• Favourite: Allows users to save a preferred programme or combination of settings.

Programme data, including duration, energy consumption, and water usage, are measured according to European standard EN 60436. These figures may vary depending on selected additional functions and if the rinse aid system is off or needs refilling.

Troubleshooting

The manual provides solutions for common faults:

• E:32-00 or water supply indicator lights up:
  • Cause: Kinked supply hose, water tap turned off, jammed/furred water tap, or blocked filters in the water connection.
  • Solution: Straighten hose, turn on tap, check flow rate (at least 10 l/min), clean filters in the supply hose connection.
• E:61-02 lights up:
  • Cause: Blocked wastewater pump or loose pump cover.
  • Solution: Clean the wastewater pump, secure the pump cover.
• E:92-40 lights up or remnants of food on tableware:
  • Cause: Soiled/blocked filters, tableware placed too close together, blocked spray arm rotation/nozzles, incorrect filter insertion, or weak washing programme.
  • Solution: Clean filters, arrange tableware with sufficient space, clean spray arms, insert filters properly, select a more intensive washing programme.
• Removable streaks on glasses/cutlery or metallic appearance:
  • Cause: Too much rinse aid dispensed or no rinse aid added.
  • Solution: Set rinse aid system to a lower setting, add rinse aid.
• Rust spots on cutlery:
  • Cause: Cutlery not sufficiently rust-resistant or washed with rusting items.
  • Solution: Use rust-resistant tableware, avoid washing with rusting items.
• Detergent residue in dispenser/tablet tray:
  • Cause: Spray arms blocked by tableware.
  • Solution: Check spray arms for free rotation.
• All LEDs light up/flash or programme doesn't continue:
  • Cause: Electronics fault.
  • Solution: Press main switch button for approx. 4 seconds to reset and restart the appliance.
