Fragile dishes

A number of household goods are not suit-able for machine washing. There can bemany reasons for this. Certain materialscannot withstand intense heat, others canbe damaged by the dishwasher detergent.

Fragile decorationChina with decoration on top of the glaze(the article has a rough feel) should not bemachine washed.

Crystal/ glassPlace the articles so that they do not knocktogether during the wash. Antique and veryfragile items should not be machinewashed.

SilverSilver and stainless steel items should notcome into contact with each other as thesilver can discolour.

Cutlery with glued handlesCertain types of adhesive cannot withstandmachine washing. In such cases the handlescan come loose.

WoodWooden articles should only be machinewashed if they are labelled as dishwasherproof.

AluminiumAluminium can be dulled by machine wash-ing. However, good quality aluminiumsaucepans can be machine washed, al-though a reduction in lustre should be ex-pected.

PlasticCertain types of plastic cannot withstandthe high temperature generated in machinedishwashing.

To protect plastic articlesSelect a program with Economytemperature and Economy drying.

Cleaning

CleaningThe dishwasher’s inner container is made ofstainless steel and is kept clean throughnormal use. However, if you have calciferous(hard) water, lime deposits can form in thedishwasher. In this case, run a normal washprogram with two tablespoons of citric acid inthe dishwasher detergent compartment.

Coarse filterThe coarse filter collects large food parti-cles which cannot get past the outflowpump. Lift out and empty the coarse filter asnecessary. Don’t forget to replace it!

Fine filterThe residue which collects on the fine filter isautomatically rinsed off with each wash. Thefine filter should still be cleaned once ortwice a month.1. Remove the fine filter by first turning thefilter’s tubular strainer anti-clockwise andthen lifting it straight up with the coarse filter.2. Clean with a dishwashing brush. Ensurethat the edges are properly sealed whenreplacing the fine filter.

Drainage pumpThe pump can be accessed from the insideof the machine.1. Always remove the plug from the wallsocket before you clean the pump.2. Remove the coarse screen first bypressing together the two lugs and pullingthe screen upwards.3. Now loosen the tubular part of the screenby turning it anticlockwise and removing thefine screen.4. Finally remove the small adapter to theleft of the bottom drain.5. It’s possible, by inserting your finger inthe hole, to turn the pump impeller andremove any blockage.6. Refit the adapter and screens.7. Insert the plug in the wall socket.

If you still cannot start the machine and ahumming noise can be heard, then theoverfilling protection has been activated.• Shutoff the water• Remove the plug from the wall socket• Call Service

CAUTION!Do not forget to replace the adapting piece.

Spray armsThe holes and bearings can occasionallybecome clogged.1. Pull the lower spray arm straight up torelease it.2. Scrape away the debris with a needle orsimilar. The spray arms also have holes onthe underside.

To release the upper spray arm, the upperbasket must be removed.3. Pull out the basket and turn the basketstop outwards on both rails (see picture).The basket can now be removed.4. Remove the upper spray arm in the sameway as the lower arm and clean it.

DoorWhen cleaning the edge around the door,use only a slightly damp cloth, possibly witha little detergent. Do not use a spray bottleor similar around the door catch. This is toensure that water does not penetrate intothe door catch and come into contact withthe electrical components.

CAUTION!Do not use a spray bottle or similar aroundthe door catch.

Tip!In order to prevent bad odours in thedishwasher, clean the strips and cornerswith a dish brush and low-lather detergent.

Rinse aid

Pour in rinse aidDrying proceeds more quickly if you userinse aid.

Machines with indicator on the panelWhen the rinse aid has run out and more isneeded, the rinse aid symbol on the panellights up*.

To fill with rinse aid:1. Turn and lift up the cover of the rinse aidcompartment to the right of the dispenser.This is where you top up and set theamount of rinse aid to be dispensed in eachwash.2. Carefully pour in rinse aid up to the knobfor dosage setting.Alter dosage if required. Do not forget toclose the cover.

*NB!After filling there may be a short delaybefore the signal light goes out.

Machines with refill indicatorThere is a refill indicator in the middle of thedispenser (see picture). If the refill indicatoris totally black, there is sufficient rinse aid.However, if the indicator has a moretransparent appearance, you need to top upwith rinse aid (see above).

Open

Closed

Refill indicator

Cover for rinse aidOpen by turning and lifting the cover!

Select dosageThe dispenser is usually set at 1= soft water.However, depending on the water hard-ness, it may be necessary to change thedosage.

Open the rinse aid cover . Here you will findthe dispenser’s adjustment dial. Settings 1-6: the harder the water, the higher the dos-age.Where the water hardness exceeds 10-12 odH you should use rinse aid with citricacid (acid rinse aid) if the dishwasher doesnot have a water softening filter. If the dish-washer has a water softening filter, dis-pense as for soft water.

Too much rinse aid can lead to the build-upof foam. If your water is particularly soft, youcan dilute the rinse aid (1 part rinse aid, 1part water).

Too much rinse aid can cause streaks onthe dishes, while too little can result in waterstains.

21

Salt

Pour in saltBefore using a dishwasher with a watersoftening filter, you must fill the salt com-partment with salt. Use coarse salt or spe-cial salt for dishwashers.

It is best to fill with salt when you are aboutto do a wash, as the dishwasher needs tobe rinsed out immediately after filling.Proceed as follows the first time:1. First unscrew the cover as illustrated.2. Place the funnel, which is supplied withthe dishwasher, into the compartment’s fillerhole. First pour in approximately 1 litre ofwater.3. Then fill the compartment with max 1.5 kgsalt.4. Wipe away excess salt so that the covercan be properly screwed into place.5. Run a Normal wash program so that anysalt in the machine is rinsed away.

When the salt runs out, unscrew the coverand fill the compartment with salt. Water isonly needed on the first occasion! Wipeclean and screw back in place. Run a Nor-mal wash program so that any salt is rinsedaway.

Occasionally check to see if more salt isneeded. A green indicator can be seen inthe cover of the salt compartment.

CAUTION!Never pour dishwasher detergent into thesalt compartment. The water softener will beruined!

Suggestions for positioning thedishwasherThe dishwasher can be built in, fully free-standing or semi-freestanding.

CAUTION!Connection to electricity, water and drain-age must be carried out by a suitably quali-fied person.

A. Built-inThe dishwasher can be built in under aworktop with a working height of 820 - 870 mm.The width measurement must be at least 600mm. For additional measurements, see picture.

B. FreestandingA freestanding dishwasher must be fittedwith anti-tilt. This comprises two fasteningirons which are screwed into place as illus-trated.The dishwasher is then pushed in so thatthe fastening irons grip onto the rear feet.The dishwasher cannot now tilt in the eventa load is placed on the open door. If thedishwasher is to be fully freestanding, bothside panels and the work top should befitted. These accessories can be purchasedwhere you purchased the dishwasher.

Tip!A machine with side panels and a countertop (freestanding) can, of course, also beinstalled as a built-in unit.

C. Semi-freestandingIf the dishwasher is positioned so that eitherside is visible, a side panel can be fitted.These accessories can be purchasedwhere you purchased the dishwasher.

Connection to water supplyThere must be a shut-off tap on the watersupply pipe. The shut-off tap should bepositioned above the work surface or at thefront of the sink unit.

The water supply pipe has a connectionwith a 1/2” or 3/4” internal thread dependingon country.

When the installation is complete, the shut-off tap should be opened to allow the pres-sure to settle for a while and to check thatall connections are tight.

Connection to electricityA dishwasher fitted with a lead and plugmust be connected to an earthed socket.Repairs and maintenance affecting safety orperformance must be carried out by a quali-fied professional.

Technical dataSee the type plate on the right hand side ofthe door.

CAUTION!The lead must be disconnected or the socketvoltage-free while the work is carried out!

Connection to drainageWhen the drain hose is routed to aconnection nipple at the sink’s water trap(see illustration 1), note that the hose mustbe fastened level with the underside of thesink unit – otherwise the dishwater from thesink can run down into the dishwasher. Thedrain hose is threaded onto a cone-shapedconnecting pipe at the sink unit’s water trap.The cone-shaped pipe must be cut to aninternal diameter of at least 16 mm. Forother alternative connections, seeillustrations 2 and 3.

The drain hose may be lengthened by amaximum of 3 m (the total length of thedrain hose may not exceed 4.5 m). Anyconnections and connecting pipes musthave an internal diameter of at least 16 mm.However, the drain hose should ideally bereplaced with a new hose without joins.

No part of the drain hose may be more than950 mm above the bottom of the machine.The hose must not be routed directly to thefloor drain or similar. In such cases, thehose can act as a siphon and empty thedishwasher.
