NOTE: AS SOON AS THE WATER SUPPLY IS TURNED ON, THERE IS PRESSURISED WATER IN THE HOSE AND APPLIANCE, EVEN IF THE WATER SUPPLY IS SUBSEQUENTLY TURNED OFF AGAIN!
Fitting the filter, rack and cutlery basket
•Fit the steel filter (not shown) in the base of the appliance. o The filter is to be fitted with the handle outwards.
o Check that the filter is correctly fitted and that the washer arm can move freely and can turn a complete circle.
•The washing rack (1) is equipped with wheels, so that it slides easily in and out.
•Position the cutlery basket (8) on the rack. The cutlery basket can be removed from the washing rack if it is not required, e.g. when washing dishes, bowls and other large objects.
Filling with salt and surface-active agent
Water hardness varies from place to place and from waterworks to waterworks. Hard water can leave white deposits on dishes and requires more detergent. This appliance is therefore equipped with a softener, which softens the water in the appliance with the aid of salt, which helps to ensure good washing results. Soft water requires less detergent, so the salt helps to reduce detergent consumption and also protect the environment.
To fill with salt:
•Unscrew the salt container cover (2) and fill with salt.
oFill with approx. 250 g salt each time; this is sufficient for approx. 15 cycles.
• Then add water to the salt container until it is completely full.
• Close cover.
• Repeat this process when the salt indicator (IV) lights up.
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT TO ADD WATER BEFORE THE FIRST WASH CYCLE! ONLY USE SALT INTENDED FOR DISHWASHERS.
Surface-active agents reduce surface tension in the water, which produces quicker, better drying. Surface-active agents also produce cleaner dishes and clearer, shiny glasses.
To fill with surface-active agent:
•Unscrew the cover (g) from the surface-active agent container (h) on the inside of the back and fill the container with surface-active agent until it reaches the lower edge of the container’s filling nozzle.
•Close cover.
•Repeat at regular intervals according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
Basic operation
•Press the release button on the door (3), and open the door.
•Check that the filter in the base of the appliance is correctly fitted and is not blocked.
•Put the items to be washed in the washing rack and cutlery basket.
oGlasses must always be turned upside down, so the water can run off easily. o Glasses should not be put over the pins, which are intended for plates. These
do not provide sufficient support, which means glasses can fall over and be damaged.
o Always place sharp knives with the blade downwards in the cutlery basket to avoid cutting yourself.
o Very dirty dishes should be rinsed off before putting them in the machine. Ensure
that large food residues are removed to prevent them blocking the filter in the base of the dishwasher.
• Check that the washer arm can move freely and can turn a complete circle.
• Pour detergent into the detergent container (10) using the measuring spoon (7) or filler cap (9).
o As a guideline, use 12 g of detergent per wash cycle, but check local guidelines
for your area. Check also with your local waterworks and read the detergent manufacturer’s instructions on the pack.
• Close the door. Check that this is closed properly before continuing.
• Check that the water supply is connected and on.
• Press the On/Off button (6) to switch the scale on.
o When the appliance is switched on, a beep can be heard.
o The display (4) lights up for a few seconds so you can check that all the indicators are working as they should.
• When the display changes to normal, you can see on the salt indicator whether the salt needs replenishing.
• Select the wash program as described below.
• Press the pause/start button (V) to start the appliance.
• You can follow how long the current wash program has left to run by looking at the time display (II) and the program cycle display (VII).
• Once the program is finished, the appliance stops automatically. A beep sounds when the wash program is complete.
Setting the wash program
•Once the appliance is switched on (on/off indicator (III) lights up), you can press the program selector button (VI) to switch between the three possible wash programs:
STR “Strong” | NOR “Normal” | RAP “Rapid” |
| | |
Water temperature: 70 ºC | Water temperature: 70 ºC | Water temperature: 55 ºC |
Wash time: 75 minutes | Wash time: 67 minutes | Wash time: 35 minutes |
Water consumption: | Water consumption: | Water consumption: |
14 litres | 12 litres | 6 litres |
| | |
•You can switch between the three programs by pressing the program selector button until the required program appears in the display.
•NB: All wash programs start with the appliance being emptied of water. It is completely normal for a small amount of water to be pumped out of the appliance when a wash program is started.
Temporary interruption of cooking
•Cooking can be temporarily interrupted at any time by pressing the "STOP/ CLEAR" button once.
•When the wash program is interrupted, you can switch to another wash program by pressing the program selector button.
•To restart cooking, close the oven door (if it has been opened) and press the "Time/Menu/Start".
After each wash program
•When the appliance has not been used for approx. 10 minutes, the display switches off.
•The power to the appliance remains on until it is interrupted by pressing the on/off button.
•Then allow the vacuum cleaner to cool for approximately 15 minutes until the appliance is emptied.
•Once the appliance is empty, check the filter in the base of the appliance for dirt and clean it if necessary.
Some useful advice
•Dishes will dry quicker if the door is opened slightly as soon as the wash program is complete.
•Be sure to rinse dishes after use. Dishes with dried-on food are more difficult to clean using a normal program.
•Detergent loses its detergency over time. If your detergent is very old or lumpy, it should be replaced.
CLEANING
When cleaning the appliance, you should pay attention to the following points:
•Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
•Never use scouring powder, steel scourers or other strong cleaning agents to clean the interior or exterior surfaces of the appliance, as they may scratch the surfaces.
•Use a well-wrung cloth and warm water. A little detergent can be added if the appliance is heavily soiled.
•Make sure that no water gets into the vent holes.
•The turning ring and the floor of the appliance must be cleaned regularly so that the glass turntable can move around without hindrance.
•The appliance should be decalcified at regular intervals:
oPour approx. 1 cup of wine vinegar into the base of the appliance. o Run the appliance empty, i.e. without any dishes or cutlery inside.
BEFORE GOING TO A REPAIR CENTRE
If the appliance will not start:
•Check that the plug is correctly in place in the wall socket. If that is not the case, remove the plug, wait 10 seconds and then plug it in again.
•Check whether a fuse has blown or whether the fuse relay has been switched off. If it is not that, you can check that the socket itself is working by plugging in another device.
•Check that the appliance is level. Adjust the four height-adjustable legs if necessary.
•Check that the door is closed properly. If this is not the case, the automatic safety system via the lock dowels (1) ensures that the appliance cannot be started.
•Check that the appliance has been programmed correctly.
•Check that the water supply is working properly.
oThe water supply hose must not be trapped or have any sharp kinks that prevent water getting through.
oIf the water level in the appliance is below normal, an alarm is emitted for approx. 30 seconds, while the display shows one of the following error codes:
| Error code in display: | Description of problem: | Possible solution: |
| | | |
| E1 | The water is entering | Check the water supply. |
| more slowly than usual. |
| | |
| | | |
| E2 | The water is draining | Check that the drainage hose is |
| correctly fitted and that the drain is |
| | more slowly than usual. |
| | not too high. |
| | |
| | | |
| "E3" | The water is heating up | Check that the heating element |
| and/or heat sensor are working. |
| more slowly than usual. |
| | |
| | | |
| | Abnormal water level. | There is too much water in the |
| E4 and E5 | appliance. Check the water supply |
| |
| | | and water pressure. |
