FAQs

How do I load the dishwasher?

Place plates and larger items in the lower rack, cups and glasses in the upper rack, and cutlery in the designated basket or tray. Avoid overcrowding the dishwasher.

What type of detergent should I use?

Use dishwasher detergent tablets, powder, or liquid, specifically designed for dishwashers. Follow the dosage instructions on the detergent packaging.

How often should I clean the filters?

Clean the filters regularly, ideally once a week or every other week, to ensure optimal performance.

What is the Delay Start function?

The Delay Start function allows you to set the dishwasher to begin its cycle at a later time, up to 24 hours in advance. This can be useful for running the dishwasher during off-peak hours or when you're away from home.

What does the ActiveDry feature do?

ActiveDry opens the dishwasher door automatically after the wash cycle, allowing fresh air to circulate, which helps to improve drying performance and reduce energy consumption.

Can I connect this dishwasher to a hot water supply?

Yes, you can connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply, with a maximum temperature of 60°C. This can help reduce energy consumption.

What does the Intensive wash program do?

The Intensive wash program is designed for heavily soiled dishes, such as pots, pans, and items with baked-on food. It uses higher temperatures and more powerful water jets for a thorough cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Dishwasher not starting

Check the power supply, ensure the door is closed securely, and confirm the water supply is turned on.

Dishes are not clean

Check the spray arms for obstructions, ensure proper loading, and verify the detergent is being dispensed correctly. Consider using a hotter wash cycle or an intensive program.

Water is not draining

Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher.

Dishwasher is leaking

Inspect the door seal for damage. Check the connections of the water inlet and drain hoses.
