FAQs
What is the benefit of the Extra Dry option?
The Extra Dry option increases the temperature during the final rinse and extends the drying phase, ensuring that even items that are difficult to dry, like plastics, come out thoroughly dry.
How do I adjust the Rackmatic system?
The Rackmatic system allows you to adjust the height of the top basket. There are usually clips or levers on the sides of the top basket that you can use to lift or lower it, often with multiple height settings.
Can I download new programs using the Home Connect app?
Yes, the Home Connect app allows you to download additional wash programs tailored to specific needs, expanding the dishwasher's functionality beyond its standard cycles.
How often should I clean the dishwasher filters?
It is recommended to clean the filters at least once a month, or more frequently if you notice a decline in cleaning performance, to ensure optimal operation and hygiene.
What does the SpeedPerfect+ function do?
SpeedPerfect+ significantly reduces the washing time of a selected program by up to 65%, providing perfectly cleaned dishes in a fraction of the usual time.
Is the D energy efficiency rating high or low?
Under the current EU energy label system, a D rating is considered towards the lower end of the efficiency scale. Appliances rated A are the most energy efficient.
How can I set my favourite program combination?
You can typically set your favourite program via the control panel by selecting your desired program and options, then pressing and holding the Favourite button until it is saved. You can also often set this via the Home Connect app.
Troubleshooting
Dishwasher not starting
Check that the door is fully closed and latched. Verify power supply by testing the outlet with another appliance. Ensure the water tap is turned on.
Dishes not clean
Check that the spray arms are not blocked by large items. Ensure filters are clean. Verify correct detergent dosage and that it's not too old. Select an appropriate wash programme for the level of soiling.
Poor drying results
Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is full. Activate the Extra Dry option for difficult-to-dry items. Check that the load is arranged to allow water to drain away.
Unusual noises during operation
Check that dishes are not rattling against each other or the spray arms. Ensure the dishwasher is level and stable. Inspect the filter for any foreign objects.
Home Connect app not connecting
Verify your home Wi-Fi is working and the dishwasher is within range. Restart your router and the dishwasher. Re-pair the device with the Home Connect app if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the dishwasher is installed on a level surface and properly connected to water supply, drainage, and a grounded electrical outlet. Follow the included installation manual carefully, paying attention to water inlet hose connection and anti-vibration measures. For Home Connect functionality, ensure your home Wi-Fi network is active and within range.
Compatibility: This is a standard slimline dishwasher, compatible with most under-counter kitchen installations. The Home Connect app is available for iOS and Android devices. Ensure your Wi-Fi network meets the app's requirements.
Care: Regularly clean the filters (typically found at the bottom of the dishwasher interior) to maintain optimal performance and prevent blockages. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior and interior door seals. Periodically run an empty hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner to remove grease and limescale buildup. Ensure the spray arms are clear of debris.
