This document serves as a quick reference guide for a dishwasher, providing essential information on its operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. It is designed to help users get started quickly and address common issues.

Function Description

The dishwasher is designed to clean tableware efficiently. It features a water softening system to adapt to different water hardness levels, ensuring optimal cleaning results and preventing limescale buildup. The appliance also has dedicated dispensers for special salt and rinse aid, which are crucial for effective washing and drying. Various washing programs are available, tailored for different types of loads and soil levels, from intensive cleaning for heavily soiled items to quick washes for lightly soiled glassware. The device is equipped with spray arms that distribute water and detergent, and a filter system to capture food remnants, ensuring clean water circulation. A wastewater pump is integrated to drain used water from the appliance.

Usage Features

Initial Setup and Water Hardness: Before first use, users are instructed to read both the operating and installation instructions. A key initial step is setting the water softening system according to the local water hardness. This involves accessing a specific setting menu by pressing and holding program buttons, then adjusting the hardness level (H:xx) using another program button. A table is provided to help users convert mmol/l values to the appropriate setting value (H00-H07).

Adding Special Salt: Special salt is essential for the water softening system. To add salt, the lid of the dispenser needs to be unscrewed and removed. For initial startup, the dispenser should be filled with water before adding salt, which will displace the water. Detergent should never be added to the special salt dispenser. After adding salt, the lid must be replaced and turned to close securely. This process should be performed just before a program starts to prevent damage to the appliance.

Adding Rinse Aid: Rinse aid helps with drying and prevents water spots. To add rinse aid, the catch on the dispenser lid is pressed, and the lid is lifted. Rinse aid should be filled up to the maximum mark. After filling, the lid is closed until it clicks into position.

Adding Detergent: Detergent is added to a dedicated dry detergent dispenser. The dispenser often has markings (e.g., 15 ml, 25 ml, 50 ml) to guide the user on the appropriate amount. After adding detergent, the dispenser lid is closed until it clicks into position.

Operating the Appliance: The general usage sequence involves:

Loading tableware: Only dishwasher-safe items should be loaded, with large food remnants removed. It's important to ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.
Adding detergent: As described above.
Switching on: The appliance is turned on.
Selecting a program: Users choose from various programs like "Intensive 70°," "Auto 45-65°," "Eco 50°," "Glass 40°," "1h Programme," or "PreRinse," depending on the load. The manual provides estimated duration, energy consumption, and water usage for each program.
Starting the program: The "Start" button initiates the chosen program.
Removing tableware: After the program finishes, the clean tableware can be removed.
Cancelling a program: To cancel a running program, the "Reset 3 sec." button is pressed for approximately 3 seconds. The program will then cancel and end after about 1 minute.

Program Data: The manual includes a table detailing program data, measured according to European standard EN 60436. This data provides estimates for duration, energy consumption, and water usage. It notes that these figures can vary based on additional functions selected and that the runtime may change if the rinse aid system is switched off or if rinse aid needs to be added.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning Filters: Regular filter cleaning is crucial for optimal performance.

Checking for residue: After each wash, users should check the filters for any food remnants.
Removing filters: The coarse filter is turned anticlockwise and removed along with the filter system. The micro filter is then pulled down to remove it.
Cleaning: All filter elements should be cleaned under running water.
Re-assembly: The filter system is re-assembled and inserted back into the appliance, ensuring the arrow markings match up, and the coarse filter is turned clockwise to secure it.

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

Removing spray arms: The upper spray arm is unscrewed and pulled down, while the lower spray arm is simply pulled up to remove.
Checking and cleaning nozzles: Users should check the outlet nozzles on both spray arms for blockages and remove any foreign bodies under running water.
Re-inserting spray arms: The lower spray arm is re-inserted until it clicks into position. The upper spray arm is re-inserted and screwed firmly into place.

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

Disconnecting power: The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply.
Removing filter system: The filter system is removed.
Scooping out water: Any remaining water is scooped out.
Removing pump cover: The pump cover is pried off using a spoon, gripped by the crosspiece, lifted inwards at an angle, and removed.
Removing foreign bodies: Any food remnants or foreign bodies in the impeller area are removed.
Re-inserting pump cover: The pump cover is re-inserted and pressed down until it clicks into position.
Installing filter system: The filter system is re-installed.

Troubleshooting: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common faults:

E:18 or water supply indicator: Often indicates a kinked supply hose or turned-off/jammed water tap. Solutions include straightening the hose, turning on the tap, or checking the water flow rate (at least 10 l/min). If the filter in the water supply is blocked, a detailed 11-step process is provided to clean it, involving disconnecting power, turning off water, unscrewing connections, cleaning the filter, and re-assembling.
E:22 lights up: Indicates soiled or blocked filters, requiring cleaning.
E:25 lights up: Indicates a blocked wastewater pump (requiring cleaning) or a loose wastewater pump cover (requiring securing until it clicks).
Remnants of food on tableware: Possible causes include tableware placed too close together (requiring proper spacing), blocked spray arm rotation (requiring arrangement of tableware to allow free rotation), blocked spray arm nozzles (requiring cleaning), soiled filters (requiring cleaning), incorrectly inserted filters (requiring proper insertion and engagement), or a too-weak washing program (requiring selection of a more intensive program).
Removable streaks on glasses/glassware with metallic appearance/cutlery: Indicates too much rinse aid (requiring adjustment to a lower setting) or no rinse aid (requiring addition).
Rust spots on cutlery: Indicates non-rust-resistant cutlery (requiring use of rust-resistant tableware) or washing rusting items together (requiring avoidance of this).
Detergent residue in dispenser/tablet collecting tray: Indicates blocked spray arms (requiring checking and ensuring free rotation).
