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.

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

NUMBER

UNTIL

YOUR

DISHES

ARE

THERE ARE 4 (2 ON EACH SIDE).

THESE CAN BE ADJUSTED INTO 2

POSITIONS = POSITION 1 (HIGH)

AND POSITION 2 (LOW).

TO MOVE THE FLAPS BETWEEN THESE

EITHER END OF EACH FLAP. GENTLY PULL

BOTH CLASPS OFF THE WIRE RACK AND

MOVE THE FLAP TO THE DESIRED

WHEN THE FLAPS ARE MOVED TO THE LOWER POSITION, THEY CAN BE USED TO

HOLD ADDITIONAL TUMBLERS, CUPS AND MUGS. ALWAYS CHECK THAT YOU ARE

ONLY PLACING ITEMS ON THE FLAPS THAT WILL CLEAR THE CEILING HEIGHT OF

YOUR DISHWASHER WHEN YOU PUSH THE RACK BACK IN. BE PARTICULARLY

CAREFUL WITH LONG-STEMMED GLASSWARE SUCH AS CHAMPAGNE GLASSES –

OVERFLOW PROTECTION

YOUR BAUMATIC DISHWASHER HAS AN OVERFILL PROTECTION DEVICE WHICH AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF

THE INLET VALVE AND STARTS THE DRAIN PUMP IF THE WATER OVERFLOWS. IF THIS OCCURS THEN TURN OFF

THE MAINS WATER SUPPLY BEFORE CALLING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. IF THERE IS WATER IN THE BASE

PAN BECAUSE OF AN OVERFILL OR SMALL LEAK, THE WATER SHOULD BE REMOVED BEFORE RESTARTING

T

HE

DISHWASHER.

time

by

pressing

Remember

to

wait

approx.

10

seconds

before

you

open

the

fully,

as

the

continue

to

AS

THIS

WILL

AFFECT

THE

RESULT!

YOU

ALSO

COULD

JUST

PULL

THE

DOOR

OPEN

–

DO

NOT

TOUCH

ANY

BUTTONS!

NOTE

:

If

you

need

to

change

a

cycle

,

you

can

as

long

as

the

dishwasher

has

only

been

running

for

a

short

time.

Just

press

the

ON/OFF

button

so

the

ON

light

goes

out,

turn

the

knob

to

the

setting

you

want

then

turn

the

dishwasher

back

on

with

the

ON/OFF

button.

However,

if

it’s

been

a

long

time

since

the

old

cycle

began,

the

detergent

may

have

already

been

released

and

the

wash

water

drained

out.

You’ll

need

to

start

a

new

cycle

altogether

so

press

the

‘ON/OFF’

button

to

switch

the

dishwasher

off,

wait

until

the

inside

cools

before

you

refill

the

detergent

dispenser,

close

the

door

and

then

turn

the

knob

to

the

cycle

setting

you

want

before

you

turn

your

dishwasher

back

on.

TAKE CARE WHEN OPENING THE DOOR DURING

WASHING. THE HOT WATER MAY SCALD YOU!

AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE

14

When the knob stops turning and lines up with the STOP mark (see

figure), the cycle has finished. Turn the dishwasher off using the ON/OFF button

and open the door of the dishwasher. Wait a few minutes before unloading the

dishwasher so the dishes can cool down. This will make them less breakable and

allow them to dry better.

TRAPPED

IN

FROM

1 MAIN 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.

2 COARSE 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.

3 FINE 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.

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

- Before cleaning

the
