IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ BEFORE USING!
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• NOTE - This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance
of electrical current. You will be able to tell if
it is because a non-grounded appliance will
give off an electrical discharge.
• Manufacturer declines all responsibility for
any damage due to non-grounding of
appliance.
• DURING THE GUARANTEE PERIOD ONLY BAUMATIC

WATER
SOFTENING
FEATURE
THE LIME IN HARD WATER MAKES DEPOSITS FORM ON
DISHES AND UTENSILS. YOUR DISHWASHER HAS A
SPECIAL SOFTENING FEATURE THAT USES SALT
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE LIME AND
MINERALS FROM THE WATER.
WARNING!
ONLY USE DISHWASHER SALT IN YOUR
DISHWASHER.
NOTE:
IF YOU USE 3-IN-1 OR 2-IN-1 TABLETS, BE
SURE NOT TO ADD SALT AND/OR RINSE AID
TO THE APPLIANCE AS THESE TABLET
TYPES ALREADY CONTAIN SALT AND/OR
RINSE AID. ADDING SALT AND RINSE AID
TO YOUR DISHWASHER’S COMPARTMENTS
IN A CYCLE INVOLVING A 3-IN-1 OR 2-IN-1
TABLET WILL RESULT IN OVERDOSING OF
INDIVIDUAL CHEMICALS AND MAY CAUSE
OVERFLOWING OF WATER AND SUDS.
LOADING SALT INTO THE SALT CONTAINER
• REMOVE THE LOWER BASKET & THEN
UNSCREW AND REMOVE THE CAP
FROM THE SALT CONTAINER.
• IF YOU ARE FILLING THE CONTAINER
FOR THE FIRST TIME, FILL WITH
APPROX. 1 LITRE OF WATER.
• PLACE THE END OF THE SUPPLIED
FUNNEL INTO THE HOLE & ADD 1.2 Kg
OF SALT. NOTE: IT IS NORMAL FOR A
SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER TO COME
OUT OF THE CONTAINER.
Note on chemicals used by the dishwasher
• Your dishwasher is equipped with an adjustable rinse aid and salt container. Using individual detergents,
rinse aid and salt will give the best possible results as this will give the correct dosage of each chemical to
suit your needs. Using Two-in-One or Three-in-One tablets may not give the best results when used in
your appliance, and may not be suitable for the type of water supply in your home, as they contain pre-
determined quantities of salt, rinse aid and detergent and cannot be adjusted to the individual
requirements.
If you are going to use 3-in-1 (or 2-in-1) tablets, we suggest that you contact the manufacturer before use
or if you experience poor results in the wash performance and ask for assistance from them.

SETTING THE WATER SOFTENER LEVEL
YOU CAN ADJUST THE AMOUNT OF SALT USED BY THE DISHWASHER TO SOFTEN WATER TO GET
THE BEST WASHING RESULTS, BASED ON THE HARDNESS OF WATER IN YOUR AREA.
1 UNSCREW THE CAP FROM THE SALT
CONTAINER.
2 THERE IS A RING ON THE NECK OF THE
CONTAINER. ROTATE THE RING IN AN
ANTICLOCKWISE DIRECTION FROM THE “-”
SETTING TOWARDS THE “+” SETTING
ACCORDING TO THE HARDNESS OF WATER
IN USE. SEE TABLE BELOW.
NOTE
1. THE SALT CONTAINER MUST BE REFILLED WHEN THE
SALT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. ALTHOUGH THE
SALT CONTAINER MAY BE FULL, THE INDICATOR LIGHT
MAY NOT GO OUT UNTIL THE SALT HAS DISSOLVED.
2. IF THERE ARE SALT SPILLS, A SOAK PROGRAM CAN
BE RUN TO WASH AWAY SPILLAGE BEFORE USING THE
MACHINE.
3. CLEAR ANY SALT GRANULES AWAY FROM THE
CONTAINER OPENING.
ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD BE MADE ACCORDING TO THE TABLE BELOW:

DETERGENT “How much do I use?”
To OPEN the DETERGENT DISPENSER DOOR, use the CATCH on its LOWER SIDE.
*NOTE: SEE P.13 – WASH CYCLE TABLE for AMOUNT of DETERGENT to use.
NOTE:
• ALWAYS CHECK THE WASH CYCLE TABLE
FOR DOSAGE ADVICE. NEVER OVERFILL
THE DISPENSER.
• DO NOT OVERDOSE TO PREVENT THE
FORMATION OF DEPOSITS (THE WATER
SOFTENING FEATURE ALREADY TAKES CARE
OF THIS!).
THE HARDER YOUR WATER, THE MORE DETERGENT
YOU MAY NEED. ADJUST THE DOSE JUST BY SMALL
AMOUNTS UNTIL YOU FIND THE CORRECT AMOUNT
OF DETERGENT TO USE.

RINSE AID
• TO OPEN THE DISPENSER, TURN THE CAP TO
THE ‘OPEN’ (LEFT) ARROW AND LIFT IT OUT.
• POUR THE RINSE AID INTO THE DISPENSER.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERFILL.
• REPLACE CAP BY INSERTING IT ALIGNED WITH
‘OPEN’ ARROW & TURN IT TO THE CLOSED
(RIGHT) ARROW.
• THE RINSE AID IS RELEASED DURING THE
FINAL RINSE TO PREVENT WATER FROM
FORMING DROPLETS ON YOUR DISHES
THAT CAN CAUSE SPOTS AND STREAKS. IT
ALSO IMPROVES DRYING BY ALLOWING
WATER TO FALL OFF THE DISHES.
• YOUR DISHWASHER IS DESIGNED TO USE
LIQUID RINSE AIDS. THE RINSE AID
DISPENSER CAN BE FOUND INSIDE THE
DOOR NEXT TO THE DETERGENT
DISPENSER. TO FILL THE DISPENSER, OPEN
THE CAP AND POUR THE RINSE AID INTO
THE DISPENSER UNTIL THE LEVEL
INDICATOR TURNS COMPLETELY BLACK.
THE DISPENSER HOLDS ABOUT 100ML OF
LIQUID RINSE AID.
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERFILL THE
DISPENSER – THIS COULD CAUSE
FROTHING. WIPE AWAY SPILLS WITH A
DAMP CLOTH. DON’T FORGET TO REPLACE
THE CAP BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE
DISHWASHER DOOR.
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE SOFT WATER, YOU MAY NOT
NEED RINSE AID FOR IT MAY CAUSE A WHITE FILM
TO DEVELOP ON YOUR DISHES.
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
•
As with detergent, the amount of rinse
aid needed for your dishes depends on
the hardness of the water in your area.
Too much rinse aid can result in
foaming and cause cloudiness or
streaks on your dishes.If your water
is very soft, you may not need rinse
aid. You can always dilute the rinse
aid with an equal amount of water.
The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. ALWAYS START WITH THE DISPENSER SET ON “1”. IF SPOTS & POOR
DRYING ARE A PROBLEM, INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF RINSE AID DISPENSED BY REMOVING THE DISPENSER
LID AND ROTATING THE DIAL TO “2”. IF THE DISHES ARE STILL NOT DRYING PROPERLY OR ARE SPOTTED,
ADJUST THE DIAL TO THE NEXT HIGHER NUMBER UNTIL YOUR DISHES ARE SPOT-FREE.
***NOTE: Please read the notes for detergent use on p. 13.
WHEN TO REFILL THE RINSE
AID DISPENSER - If the rinse aid
warning light (SEE control panel) is not on, you
can judge the rinse aid level by looking at the
black dot on the rinse aid dispenser. As the
rinse aid level decreases, the black dot shrinks.
Never let the rinse aid get below ¼ full.

FORGET TO ADD A DISH?
A FORGOTTEN DISH CAN BE ADDED AT ANY TIME BEFORE THE DETERGENT
DISPENSER OPENS.
• OPEN THE DOOR A LITTLE TO STOP THE WASHING.
• WAIT ABOUT TEN SECONDS. AFTER THE SPRAY ARMS STOP WORKING,
YOU CAN OPEN THE DOOR COMPLETELY.
• ADD FORGOTTEN DISHES.
• CLOSE THE DOOR, THE DISHWASHER WILL WORK AFTER TEN SECONDS.
NEED TO INTERRUPT A CYCLE?
If an emergency arises, you can stop the machine at any time. Remember to wait
approx. 10 seconds before you open the door fully, as the spray arms continue to turn
after the power has been cut and could spray hot water up at you.
DO NOT PRESS THE ‘ON/OFF’ BUTTON AS THIS WILL RESET THE WHOLE
WASH CYCLE! YOU JUST NEED TO PULL THE DOOR OPEN – DO NOT TOUCH
ANY BUTTONS!
SET THE WRONG CYCLE?
If you set the wrong wash program, you can always cancel the one the machine is
working on by pressing the ‘ON/OFF’ button to switch your dishwasher off, waiting a
few seconds before opening the door to change the cycle (see p.12 to recap on how to
start a washing cycle). Don’t forget to add detergent for the new cycle. Your
dishwasher will automatically drain any water away and begin the new cycle.
TAKE CARE WHEN OPENING THE DOOR DURING
WASHING. THE HOT WATER IN THERE MAY SCALD YOU IF YOU OPEN
THE DOOR TOO QUICKLY!

AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE
WHEN YOUR DISHWASHER’S WASHING CYCLE HAS FINISHED:
• THE ALARM WILL SOUND FOR EIGHT SECONDS.
• OPEN THE DOOR OF YOUR DISHWASHER & SWITCH YOUR
DISHWASHER OFF USING THE ‘ON/OFF’ KEY.
• WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE UNLOADING THE
DISHWASHER TO AVOID HANDLING THE DISHES AND
UTENSILS WHILE THEY ARE STILL HOT AND MORE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO BREAKAGE.
• THEY WILL ALSO DRY BETTER IF YOU LEAVE THEM IN FOR
A WHILE.
NOTE: THESE MODELS FEATURE BUILT-IN RESIDUAL DRYING.
FILTERING SYSTEM
FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, WE HAVE PLACED THE FILTERING SYSTEM WITHIN EASY REACH INSIDE THE
TUB. THE FILTER REMOVES BITS OF FOOD TRAPPED IN THE FILTER FROM THE WASH WATER SO IT CAN BE

BAUMATIC BDW15 dishwasher user manual

RECIRCULATED DURING THE CYCLE. THERE ARE THREE PARTS TO THE FILTERING SYSTEM: 1) The Main Filter,
2) The Coarse Filter & 3) The Fine Filter.
1MAIN FILTER
Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are
pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and
washed down the drain.
2COARSE FILTER
Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass that could
clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To
remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze
the tabs on top of this filter and lift it out.
3FINE FILTER
This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area
and prevents it from being re-deposited on the dishes
during a cycle.
Caring for your Dishwasher
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE SURFACES OF YOUR APPLIANCE
• TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR OF YOUR DISHWASHER (INCLUDING THE CONTROL PANEL), USE A LIGHTLY
DAMPENED CLOTH THEN DRY THOROUGHLY. NEVER USE SHARP OBJECTS, SCOURING PADS OR
HARSH CLEANERS ON ANY PART OF THE APPLIANCE. SOME PAPER TOWELS CAN SCRATCH.
• TO CLEAN THE EDGE AROUND THE DOOR,
ONLY EVER USE A SOFT WARM, DAMP RAG.
DO NOT USE A SPRAY CLEANER HERE OR
WHEN CLEANING THE DOOR PANEL AS THIS
MAY HARM THE DOOR LOCK AND
ELECTRICAL PARTS.
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
THE SPRAY ARMS NEED REGULAR CLEANING AS HARD WATER RESIDUES WILL CLOG THEIR
JETS & BEARINGS. TO REMOVE THE SPRAY ARM, SCREW OFF THE NUT TO TAKE OUT THE
WASHER ON TOP OF THE SPRAY ARM AND REMOVE THE ARM. WASH THE ARMS IN SOAPY
WARM WATER & USE A SOFT BRUSH TO CLEAN THE JETS. REPLACE THE SPRAY ARM AFTER
RINSING IT THOROUGHLY.

BAUMATIC BDW15 dishwasher user manual

17
CLEANING THE FILTERS
• THE FILTER ASSEMBLY MUST BE KEPT CLEAN FOR BEST PERFORMANCE. You should remove the
larger bits of food trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and
cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull up on the cup handle.
• The entire filter assembly should be cleaned at least once a month.
• To clear the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts
as shown in the figure above and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher in its seat & press
downward to secure it.
• Improper replacement of the filter may impair appliance performance and damage dishes and
utensils.
• Warning - never run the dishwasher without the filters
in place!
• Warning - Before cleaning the inner cavity of the appliance
always allow 30 minutes for the Element to cool down to
avoid injury!

HOW TO KEEP YOUR DISHWASHER IN SHAPE
AFTER EVERY WASH,leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours are not trapped
inside.
REMOVE THE PLUG before cleaning or performing maintenance. Never run the risk of electric
shocks.
DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR ABRASIVE CLEANING AGENTS to clean the exterior and the rubber
parts of the dishwasher. Only use a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains
from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar,
or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
WHEN YOU GO ON HOLIDAY, run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty. Then unplug it, turn
off the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odours and mould from
developing.
MOVING THE APPLIANCE is possible but KEEP IT UPRIGHT.
SEALS can trap food, which in turn will cause odours. Periodic cleaning with a damp cloth or
sponge will prevent this from becoming a problem.
PROTECTING YOUR DISHWASHER AGAINST FREEZING
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a
service technician to:
1) Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit
breaker.
2) Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water
valve & discharge hoses.
3) Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve (Use a pan to catch the
water).
4) Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
5) Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub bottom and use a sponge to soak
up water in the rubber boot.
