This document provides a comprehensive guide for operating and maintaining a dishwasher, focusing on its functions, usage features, and maintenance procedures.

Function Description

The dishwasher is designed to clean tableware efficiently using various pre-set programs and adjustable settings. It incorporates a water softening system to optimize cleaning performance based on local water hardness. The appliance also features dedicated dispensers for special salt and rinse aid, crucial for achieving spotless results and preventing limescale buildup. The Home Connect function allows for remote control and setting adjustments via a mobile device, enhancing user convenience.

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. The appliance can then be connected by scanning a QR code provided in the manual. This enables remote control and monitoring of the dishwasher.

Water Softening System: The dishwasher's water softening system is adjustable to match the local water hardness. Users can access the basic settings by pressing the "Setup 3 sec." button for three seconds. The display will show "H:xx" and then "set," allowing users to adjust the water hardness level using the "+" or "-" buttons. Once the desired level is set, pressing "Setup 3 sec." again saves the settings. The manual provides a table correlating water hardness ranges (mmol/l) to specific setting values (H:00 to H:07).

Adding Special Salt: Special salt is essential for the water softening system. To add salt, unscrew and remove the lid of the special salt dispenser. For initial start-up, the dispenser should be filled completely with water before adding the special salt. The salt displaces the water, and detergent should never be added to this dispenser. After adding salt, replace the lid and turn to close. It is recommended to add special salt just before a program starts to prevent damage to the appliance.

Adding Rinse Aid: Rinse aid ensures streak-free drying results. To add rinse aid, press the catch on the lid of the rinse aid dispenser and lift it. Fill the dispenser up to the maximum mark. After filling, close the lid until it clicks into position.

Adding Detergent: Detergent, either powder or tablet, should be added to the dry detergent dispenser. After placing the detergent, close the lid until it clicks into position.

Operating the Appliance:

Loading Tableware: Load only dishwasher-safe tableware, ensuring large food remnants are removed. Verify that the spray arms can rotate freely without obstruction.
Adding Detergent: Add the appropriate amount of detergent.
Switching On: Turn on the appliance.
Selecting a Programme: Choose a suitable washing program from the available options.
Starting the Programme: Press the "Start" button.
Unloading Tableware: Remove the clean tableware once the program is complete.
Cancelling a Programme: To cancel a running program, press "Reset 4 sec." for approximately four seconds. The program will be cancelled and end after about one minute.

Programmes: The dishwasher offers a variety of programs, each with specific durations, energy consumption, and water usage. These figures are measured according to European standard EN 60436 and can vary based on selected additional functions or if the rinse aid system is switched off or needs refilling.

Intensive 70°: A robust program for heavily soiled items.
Auto 45-65°: Automatically adjusts settings based on soil level.
Eco 50°: An energy-efficient program with a longer duration.
Silence 50°: Designed for quiet operation, suitable for night use.
brilliantShine: A program focused on achieving sparkling results.
Speed 60°: A quick wash program.
Speed 45°: An even faster wash for lightly soiled items (half standard load).
Machine Care: A dedicated program for cleaning the dishwasher itself.
Favourite: A customizable program setting.

Maintenance Features

Remove Coarse Filter: Press the locking catches together and lift out the coarse filter.
Clean Filter Elements: Wash all filter elements under running water.
Re-assemble: Re-assemble the filter system and insert it back into the appliance, turning the coarse filter clockwise until the arrow markings align.

Cleaning Spray Arms: Blocked spray arm nozzles can impair cleaning performance.

Remove Upper Spray Arm: Unscrew the upper spray arm and pull it down to remove.
Remove Lower Spray Arm: Pull up the lower spray arm to remove.
Check Nozzles: Inspect the outlet nozzles on both spray arms for blockages and remove any foreign bodies under running water.
Re-insert Lower Spray Arm: Push the lower spray arm back into place until it clicks.
Re-insert Upper Spray Arm: Insert the upper spray arm and screw it firmly into place.

Cleaning Wastewater Pump: If the wastewater pump is blocked, it needs to be cleaned.

Disconnect Power: Unplug the appliance from the power supply.
Remove Filter System: Follow the steps for cleaning filters to remove the filter system.
Scoop Out Water: Remove any standing water from the bottom of the appliance.
Remove Pump Cover: Use a spoon to prise off the pump cover, gripping it by the crosspiece.
Lift and Remove Cover: Lift the pump cover inwards at an angle and remove.
Remove Debris: Clear any food remnants or foreign bodies from the impeller area.
Re-insert Pump Cover: Insert the pump cover and press down until it clicks into position.
Install Filter System: Re-install the filter system.

Troubleshooting: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section addressing common issues and their solutions:

Water Supply Issues (E:32-00 or water supply indicator): Check for kinked supply hoses, closed or jammed water taps, or blocked filters in the water connection.
Drainage Issues (E:92-40 or E:61-02): Indicates soiled or blocked filters, a blocked wastewater pump, or a loose wastewater pump cover.
Food Remnants on Tableware: Suggests improper loading, blocked spray arm rotation, blocked spray arm nozzles, soiled filters, incorrectly inserted filters, or an insufficient washing program.
Streaks on Glasses/Cutlery: Often due to excessive rinse aid or lack of rinse aid.
Rust Spots on Cutlery: Caused by non-rust-resistant cutlery or washing with rusting items.
Detergent Residue: Indicates blocked spray arms preventing detergent from rinsing out.
Appliance Malfunction (All LEDs light up/flash): Suggests an electronic fault, requiring a reset by pressing the main switch button for approximately four seconds.
