1 SAFETY
1.1 ESD
Term
Electrostatic
Sensitive
Devices
General
State of the art electronics achieve economic efficiency, environmental
protection, user comfort, high functionality and operating safety in
electrical domestic appliances. This high quality technology requires
professional handling and competent specialist knowledge.
All electronic modules are fitted with components which are at risk
from electrostatic voltage.
1.1.1 Components which are at risk
The following components are at risk from electrostatic voltage:
►µ processors and ICs
►Transistors, thyristors and triacs
►Diodes
1.1.2 Causes and effects
You are carrying an electrostatic voltage:
►of up to 35,000 volts if you walk across a non-conductive
carpet,
►of up to 12,000 volts if you walk across a non-conductive PVC
floor,
►of up to 1,800 volts if you are sitting on an upholstered chair.
The electrostatic voltage on your body is transferred to the electronic
components and ESDs you touch which may be damaged as a result.
Shot down!
►A ‘dead’ component
►A ‘dead’ assembly
►A ‘dead’ appliance
Wounded!
►Damaged
►Debilitated
►Early failure

209_58300000178575_ARA_EN_C.doc –30.06.2015 Page 4 de 70
1.1.3 ESD instructions
All electronic modules and electronic assemblies feature electrostatic
sensitive devices.
The following measures must be taken in order to protect these
electrostatic sensitive devices:
Ensure that the assemblies and modules are appropriately identified.
Before you touch and measure the ESDs, put on an electrostatic
protection system (wrist band with earthing module).
Avoid touching ESDs with chargeable plastics (film, etc.).
When taking hold of assemblies, modules and printed circuit boards,
try not to touch the printed conductors or connections.
Keep ESDs away from monitors and television sets.
Only use conductive materials or the original packaging for
transportation.
1.1.4 Electrostatic protection system
The electrostatic voltage of the body is discharged via the wrist band
and the earthing module.
For reasons of safety this does not occur directly, but via a combina-
tion of resistors.
The earthing or protective conductor connection must not be
damaged!

209_58300000178575_ARA_EN_C.doc –30.06.2015 Page 5 de 70
1.2 Qualifications of service technicians
The described activities may be carried out only by electrical engineers
and electrical engineers for specific activities if they have been trained
by BSH or an authorised establishment.
An electrical engineer is one who, on account of his specialist training,
knowledge and experience as well as his knowledge of the relevant
regulations, can asses the work assigned to him and identify potential
hazards.
An electrical enginner for specific activities is a person who is instruct-
ed and, if required, trained by an electrical engineer on the work
assigned to him and the potential hazards of improper behaviour and
who was instructed on the required protective devices and protective
measures.
Observe country-specific regulations.

1.5 General safety instructions
►Read repair manual and follow the instructions included in it.
►Proceed systematically and follow the instructions for
troubleshooting and repairs.
►When repairs are complete, check the effectiveness of the protect-
tive measures in accordance with VDE 0701 or the corresponding
country-specific regulations and perform a function test.
If the test is not passed, clearly identify the appliance as not safe
and inform the operator in writing.
The test for the effectiveness of the protective measures must be
documented in a suitable manner. It is recommended to write
down the measured values.
►Use only conductors which comply with the currently valid health
and safety regulations at work.
DANGER
Exposed live parts
Danger to life caused by electric shock!
►Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
►Do not touch housing, frame or components.
►Use residual-current-operated circuit-breaker if tests
have to be conducted while the appliance is live.
►Ensure that the resistance of the protective conductor
does not exceed the standardised values.
WARNING
Exposed conductive parts may be live if a fault has
occurred.
Danger to life caused by electric shock!
►Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
►Do not touch housing, frame or components.
►Use residual-current-operated circuit-breaker if tests
have to be conducted while the appliance is live.
►Ensure that the resistance of the protetive conductor
does not exceed the standardised values.
CAUTION
Risk of being cut on sharp edges.
►Wear protective gloves.
►Wear personal protective equipment.
CAUTION
Charged capacitors
Risk of injury from electric shock and startle response.
►Discharge capacitors before working on the appliance.

static voltage will be damaged beyond repair
►Before carrying out any work, apply protective system
to components susceptible to electrical discharge.
►Observe measures to protect the components suscep-
tible to electrical discharge.
NOTE
Components which are replaced haphazardly will be
damaged beyond repair
►Before replacing components, perform
troubleshooting.
►Check systematically.
►Observe Technical Documentation.
►Do not replace components without reason.

Mat No. 350564).
2.2 Water connection
2.2.1 Water supply
The water connection (3/4 inch) requires a conventional water line
with a water pressure of at least 1 bar (1 at.)
The optimum water pressure in the supply network is between 2 and
10 bar.
When the tap is on, the water flow must be at least 10 l/min
If the water pressure is between 1 and 2 bar (6 l/min), the
consumption parameters cannot be assure.
If the water pressure is more than 10 bar (10 at.), a pressure reducing
valve must be installed.
2.2.1.1 Aqua Stop or Aqua Secure version (optional)
The Aqua-Stop must be installed as shown in the picture

209_58300000178575_ARA_EN_C.doc –30.06.2015 Page 10 de 70
2.2.1.2 Hot Water appliances (optional)
The appliances with hot water connection have an additional water
valve.
The hot water connection is in red and can be installed to water
supply with maximum temperature of 60ºC.
If there is no hot water supply, it is not necessary to connect the hot
water hose or closet he water valve with a cover.
2.2.2 Water outlet
The waste water hose may be extended to 4 m (432060 2, 20 m), but
only if the hose is lying flat on the floor and has no more than one
connection.
2.3 Electrical connection

4 COMPONENTS
4.1 Aqua Stop valve (Optional)
4.1.1 Function:
An electric solenoid valve which is enclosed by a housing is attached
to the tap. The housing is connected to the appliance with a double
supply hose. The double supply hose contains the water supply hose
and electric control cable for the solenoid valve. The safety function is
actuated via the float in the base pan. The water flow is then stopped
mechanically.
4.1.2 Technical specifications:
►Nominal voltage 230–240 V
►Frequency 50 Hz
►Resistance 4.13 k± 10 %
►Flow rate 10 l/min ± 10%
►Water pressure 1.0–10 bar
►Water inlet temperature max. max. 25 °C

4.2 Aqua Secure valve (Optional)
4.2.1 Function:
A mechanical valve which is enclosed by the Aquastop housing is
attached to the tap. The housing is connected to the appliance with a
double supply hose. If the inner hose leaks, the water flows through
the double supply hose into the Aquastop housing. The safety function
is actuated mechanically; a sponge expands which pulls down a
plunger and closes the valve. The inspection window on the Aquastop
housing turns red. The Aquastop hose must be replaced because the
sponge does not contract when it dries.
In addition, the appliance has a float in the base pan; this float stops
the water inflow if there is a leak in the appliance.
4.2.2 Technical specifications:
►Flow rate 0.5–20 l/min
►Water pressure 0.2–10 bar
►Water supply temperature 5–93 °C
►Air temperature 5–60 °C
►Air humidity 30–95 %

4.3 Flow sensor
4.3.1 Function
The flow sensor seizes the quantity of water, directly before the
valves. It consists of an impeller with a magnet core and a one
resounds - to hall- IC. The impeller is shifted as a function of the water
flow in turn. In the case of turn of the impeller by the magnet of
impulses to resound - to hall-IC given.

4.4 Detergent-solution pump
4.4.1 Function:
The pump is actuated by a relay.
The detergent-solution pump features a thermal protection device.
The thermal protection device is actuated when the power input is too
high.
4.4.2 Technical specifications:
►Nominal voltage 230 VAC / 50 Hz
►Delivery head 1.0 m
►Delivery rate 18 l/min
►Resistance 155Ω ±7%
►Power 30 W
