Frequently Asked Questions - MNV-4560 Concept

How to install the dishwasher?

Ensure the inlet and outlet hoses are properly connected. Level the appliance using the adjustable feet. For detailed steps, refer to the installation guide in the manual.

What detergent should I use?

Use a dishwasher detergent suitable for automatic dishwashers. You can also use all-in-one tablets. Always follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions.

Why is the dishwasher not cleaning properly?

Check if the spray arms are clogged, filters are clean, and you are using the correct amount of detergent. Also ensure the water temperature is at least 50°C (122°F).

How to clean the filters?

Remove the lower rack, then unscrew the cylindrical filter. Rinse it under running water. Clean the flat filter as well. Reinstall them properly before next use.

What does the 'Salt' indicator mean?

It indicates that the water softener needs more salt. Add dishwasher salt to the dedicated compartment to prevent limescale buildup.

Can I use the dishwasher without rinse aid?

Yes, but you may get water spots on glasses and dishes. Rinse aid improves drying and prevents spots. Refill if indicator lights up.

How to set the delay start?

Press the Delay Start button repeatedly to select the desired delay (1-24 hours). Close the door and the cycle will start automatically after the set time.

Why is the dishwasher leaking water?

Check hose connections, door seal, and ensure the appliance is level. Overfilling due to blocked filters can also cause leaks. If persists, contact service.

What is the maximum load capacity?

The dishwasher can hold up to 12 place settings. Follow loading guidelines in the manual for best results.

How to reset the dishwasher?

Press and hold the Start/Reset button for 3 seconds to cancel a running cycle. To factory reset, unplug for 10 minutes then plug back in.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

For the first dishwashing, buy

• a regenerative salt (according to water hardness – See below)
  • a dishwashing detergent
• a rinse aid.
  • Exclusively use products designed for dishwashers.

WATER SOFTENING DEVICE

Soft water is needed for effective dishwashing, i.e. water with a low calcium content; otherwise lime scale is created on dishes and inside the appliance. Tap water that exceeds the given hardness level must be softened for dishwashing, i.e. decalcified. This is done by the regenerative salt in the dishwasher water softening device. The setting and needed quantity of the salt depend on the tap water hardness.

Water hardness is indicated in equivalent degrees of hardness: German °dH, French °TH, British °Clark, and mmol/l (millimol per litre – the international unit for water hardness).

The softener should be set according to the hardness of the local water. Information on the local water hardness in the given area is available from the local water utilities provider. Set the water softener dosing regulator according to the table below (Figure 1).

Water softening device setting

1. Open the door, turn the dishwasher on by means of the main switch pushbutton (1).
2. Press the P (Dishwashing program selection) pushbutton (4) for more than 5 seconds to activate the water softening device, the setting of which will be available for the subsequent 60 seconds. (During setting up this function, the salt and rinse indicator lights go on in turns).
3. Set up the required value of H1 to H6 by pressing the P (Dishwashing program selection) pushbutton (4).
4. Confirm your set-up by pressing the main switch pushbutton (1).

Note: 1.

1 dH = 1,25 Clarke = 1,78 fH = 0,178 mmol/l

dH = German degree

fH = French degree

Clark = British degree

Note: 2. This dishwasher was set at the value of H4 (EN50242) by the manufacturer.

Regenerative salt fill

Salt effects

During dishwashing, the salt is automatically washed out of the container into the softening device where it dissolves calcium. The dissolved calcium is washed out of the appliance. The water softening device is then ready for the next operation. This regenerative process works only if the salt is dissolved in water.

Fill the regenerative salt before running the dishwashing program so that any spilt remnants of the salt are washed immediately and prevented from increasing the risk of corrosion of internal parts by its chemical effects!

1. Pull out the lower rack.
2. Open the container closing (Figure 1).
3. Pour 0.5 l of water into the container before the first use.
4. Put the supplied funnel on the container opening.
5. Pour the regenerative salt slowly into the container (capacity about 1.2 kg). The salt will wash excess water out (Figure 2).
6. Close the container and fasten the closing gently.

Fig. 2 Fig. 1

CAUTION!

Exclusively use regenerative salt designed for dishwashers. Do not use kitchen salt! Never put a dishwashing detergent in the water softener container!

Note: At first, the salt lever indicator light will go on. It will go out after a while when the sufficient salt concentration has been achieved.

Caution

Never put a dishwashing detergent in the regenerative salt container. Otherwise the softening device might be destroyed.

Salt level indicator

The salt must be refilled immediately before the first dishwashing when the salt level indicator is on.

Rinse aid container fill

The rinse aid is used in the last stage of rinsing. It prevents water droplets from drying and creating stains on the surface during drying.

Fill the rinse aid before starting the dishwashing program so that any spilt remnants of the agent are washed away immediately and prevented from increasing the risk of corrosion of internal parts by its chemical effects!

1. Open the appliance door.
2. Open the container closing (Figure 3).
3. Pour the rinse aid slowly into the container (Figure 4); the container capacity is about 140 ml.

CAUTION!

Only use the rinse aid designed for dishwashers. Never put a dishwashing detergent in the rinse aid container!

1. Close the container and fasten the closing gently (Figure 5).

If the rinse aid indicator light is displayed during the program, it is necessary to refill the rinse aid before starting the next dishwashing program! The volume of the rinse aid can also be checked visually. If the window next to the rinse aid container door is black, the rinse aid container is sufficiently filled. If the window is light, the container is empty.

Rinse aid dosage set-up

The rinse aid dosage can be set from 1 to 6. Set the rinse aid dosage to 2 before the first use.

If water marks remain on dishes, add the rinse aid.

If a sticky film remains on dishes, reduce the rinse aid amount.

1. Open the appliance door.
2. Open the container closing (Figure 3).
3. Increase/reduce the rinse aid dosage.
4. Close the container and fasten the closing gently (Figure 5).

If you only use the dishwashing detergent mixed with the rinse aid, leave the rinse aid container empty, or reduce the dosage to the minimum.

Dishwashing detergent use

Dishwashing detergents can be grouped by their form as follows:

a) Loose (powder),
b) Liquid,
c) Tablets,
d) Combined (e.g. 3-in-1 tablets).

They can be divided into two groups by their chemical composition:

a) Alkaline,
b) With natural enzymes.

They can further be grouped as follows:

a) Phosphate and chlorine,
b) Phosphate and chlorine-free,
c) Phosphate-free and chlorine-free.

When using phosphate-free agents in hard water, white sediment may appear on dishes and internal walls. This can be prevented by higher amounts of the dishwashing detergent.

Chlorine-free dishwashing detergents have less bleaching effect. This may lead to a higher appearance of tea stains or discolouration on plastic parts.

A stronger dishwashing program, increased amount of dishwashing detergent, or use of chlorine dishwashing detergent can help here.

The suitability of the dishwashing detergent use for silver can be determined by reading the packaging instructions.

For further inquiries contact the manufacturer of the dishwashing detergent.

Dishwashing detergent instructions

Use commonly supplied liquid or powder brand-name products for dishwashers, or tablets (do not use agents for hand dishwashing!)

Dishwashing detergent container with dosage

The doses in the container will help pour in the correct amount of dishwashing detergent (Figure 6). The container consists of a compartment for main dishwashing (1) and pre-dishwashing (2).

Fig. 6

Fill the dishwashing detergent when the door is fully open.

Should the dishwashing detergent container remain closed, open it by pushing the closing lever.

1. Fill the container with the dishwashing detergent. For proper dosage, please follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not overfill the dishwashing detergent container while filling.

Due to the different operation of dishwashing tablets their washing power may not always fully develop during short programs. For these programs, powder dishwashing detergents are more suitable.

1. Close the dishwashing detergent container and close the dishwasher's door.

How to save

- If dishes are only slightly stained, a lower amount of the dishwashing detergent than specified shall generally suffice.

Using 3-in-1 or 2-in-1 dishwashing detergents

Put the dishwashing detergent (a tablet, gel bag etc.) into the container (Figure 6) in the main dishwashing compartment (1). Should pre-dishwashing be needed, it is necessary to put the dishwashing detergent (a tablet, gel bag etc.) into the pre-dishwashing compartment (2) as well. In terms of savings and environmental protection, use a 2-in-1 pre-dishwashing detergent (a tablet, gel bag etc.). The use of so-called „combined“ dishwashing detergents may make the use of a rinse aid and/or salt unnecessary.

Currently, various types of combined dishwashing detergents are available.

a) 3-in-1: Combines the dishwashing detergent, rinse aid, and salt,
b) 2-in-1: Combines the dishwashing detergent, the rinse aid or salt.

Find out what type of dishwashing detergent or combined dishwashing detergent you have!

Follow the service instructions or directions on the packing.

When using combined dishwashing detergents, the use of regenerative salt is not necessary if water hardness is 21^ dH ( 37^ TH, 3.7 mmol/l) or less. For water hardness over 21^ dH ( 37^ TH, 3.7 mmol/l), the salt is required.

Note: The optimum dishwashing and drying results can be achieved by using classic dishwashing detergents combined with the separate use of salt and a rinse aid.

Following the respective service instructions or directions on the combined dishwashing detergent packaging is critical for its effectiveness.

Caution

Despite the fact the rinse aid indicator light and/or the salt refill indicator light is on, the dishwashing program using 3-in-1 agents is running faultlessly.

Unsuitable dishes

Do not wash:

• Cutlery and dishes having wooden parts; these soak in the dishwasher and lose their nice appearance. Also, glues used for wood are not suitable for the dishwashing temperatures inside the dishwasher.
• Finely decorated glasses and vases, or irreplaceable antiquities. Such kitchen utensils were not designed for washing in dishwashers. Some types of glass may become cloudy after several dishwashing cycles.
• Plastic parts of dishes sensitive to hot water and dishes made of copper and tin. Also, aluminium or silver decorations on glass can change or lose colour.
  Absorbent materials, such as sponges and towels, do not belong to items washable in dishwashers.

Recommendation:

Only wash dishes confirmed as suitable for dishwashing in your dishwasher.

Caution

Dishes soiled by ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint should not be washed in the dishwasher.

Glass/dishes damage

Causes:

• The type of glass and its manufacturing process.
• The chemical composition of the dishwashing detergent.
- The temperature of water and the dishwasher program duration.

Recommendation:

• Use just glass and porcelain designated as suitable for dishwasher washing by the manufacturer.
• Use the dishwashing detergent designated by the manufacturer as dish-friendly. Inquire at the manufacturers.
• Select programs with the shortest duration.
• In order to prevent any damage, remove glass and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as possible once the program is over.

Placing dishes

Placing dishes

Remove large leftovers from dishes. Rinsing under running water prior to dishwashing is not necessary.

Place dishes in the dishwasher as follows:

• Place cups, glasses, pots etc. upside down.
• Place convex or hollow dishes at an angle to allow water to drain away.
  • Dishes must stay firm and must not sway.
• Dishes must not prevent spray arms from rotating.

Do not wash very small dishes in the dishwasher as they might fall out of racks easily.

Removing dishes

In order to prevent water and water droplets from running down from the upper rack onto dishes in the lower rack, it is recommended to first remove dishes from the lower rack and then from the upper racks.

Dish placement example:

For dishwashing larger items (pots, pans etc.) tilt plate holders in the lower rack (Figure 8).

Cutlery

Place cutlery into the cutlery rack; knives with the sharp edge down. Place bent cutlery (forks, spoons, teaspoons) in the rack in one direction (to achieve better dishwashing effects). Place long and sharp items that do not fit in this rack onto the multi-level sub-rack of the upper rack (Figure 8).

Upper multi-level sub-rack

Lean goblets and high glasses on the multi-level sub-rack (instead of on other dishes).

Place long items, serving and salad cutlery, ladles and kitchen knives so that they do not prevent spray arms from rotating. The multi-level sub-rack can be tilted and height adjusted as needed (Figure 9).

Note: When no temperature is indicated for the program phase, the dishwasher does not heat water in that phase.

Note: For a lightly loaded dishwasher, using the next weaker program is adequate.

Program information

The stated data applies under normal conditions.

Major differences may occur due to:

• Differing amounts of dishes,
• The incoming water temperature,
• The water mains pressure,
• The adjacent temperature,
• The voltage tolerance in the mains,

- By deviations in the dishwasher's operation (e.g. the temperature, water quantity etc.).

Dishwashing procedure

1. Open the dishwasher's door

1. Check and, if needed, add salt or the rinse aid.

2. Pull out, fill, and push in racks in an orderly manner.

3. Put the relevant amount of dishwashing detergent into the corresponding compartment of the container.

4. Open the water tap up fully.

5. Turn on the dishwasher by pressing the main switch (5). All symbols and indicator lights will be illuminated for a moment.

6. Select the required program by repeatedly pressing the P pushbutton (4). The expectant duration of the program shows itself on the display.

7. By pressing the ALT pushbutton, it is possible to select the use of the upper spray arm, the lower spray arm, or both spray arms.

8. If a delayed dishwashing start is needed, repeatedly press the delayed-start pushbutton (3) in order to set up the required time of delay (up to 24 hours).

9. Close the dishwasher's door with slight pressure until it locks into place. The preset program or the delayed start countdown will commence.

10. Once the program is over, the dishwasher signalises its end with a beep.
11. Open the dishwasher's door, and turn the dishwasher off by pressing the main switch (5).

CAUTION!

Be careful when opening the dishwasher. A large volume of steam might release when the door is opened.

1. Close the water mains tap.
2. Hot dishes are very fragile. It is recommended to wait for about 15 minutes before removing your dishes to let them cool down.
3. Remove the dishes from the lower rack first, then from the upper racks, to prevent water dripping from the dishes placed above onto those below.

In case the selected program is to be changed:

a) If the program has not started yet, select another program or press the main switch pushbutton (5) – the dishwasher turns off and the preset program is cleared from the memory.
b) If the program is already running, press the main switch pushbutton (5) – the dishwasher turns off and the preset program is cleared from the memory.

Note: If you decide to change the selected program, check to see if there is any dishwashing detergent in the container, or if it has already been used, and if required add more before starting a new program.

In case additional dishes are to be placed in the dishwasher when a program is already running

1. Slightly open the dishwasher's door; the running program will stop. Wait until spray arms stop moving.
2. Add dishes into the dishwasher and close the door. The running program resumes after a couple of seconds.

CAUTION!

Be highly careful when adding dishes into the dishwasher. A large volume of steam may be released, or hot water may splash out when the door is opened. Hot water with a dishwashing detergent can be chemically aggressive when in contact with skin or furniture.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Regular checking and maintenance of the dishwasher may prevent failures. Therefore, the dishwasher must be carefully inspected from time to time.

For maintaining the perfect appearance of the dishwasher's internal chamber it is recommended to use a special dishwasher washing agent at intervals of 4 to 6 months.

Overall dishwasher condition

• Check the washing chamber for grease and scale sediments. If there are sediments, fill the dishwashing detergent container and run the dishwashing program at the highest temperature.
• Wipe door seals regularly with a wet dishcloth to remove sediment.
• Check the salt dosage indicator light, and refill the salt if needed.
• Check the rinse aid indicator light. Refill the rinse aid if needed.

Drain filters

Drain filters protect the pump against large leftovers from the washing water. These leftovers may eventually clog the filters. The filtering system (Figure 10) consists of a main filter (1), a coarse filter (2), and a fine filter (3).

Check the condition of the filters after each washing. The filtering system can be removed once the coarse filter cylinder is taken out. Remove sediments and clean the filters under running water. Follow the reverse steps to reinstall the filters.

Never use the dishwasher without properly installing the filtering system!

Fig. 10

Spray arms

Lime scale and sludge from dishwashing water can block jets and spray arm bearings.

• Check output jets of spray arms for clogging by leftovers.
• If needed, unscrew spray arms, and remove them (Figure 11). Rinse them under running water and reinstall.

Use a soft, wet cloth. Do not use abrasive or sharp objects or aggressive cleaning agents.

Protect the door lock against intrusion of dampness and water.

Protection against freezing

If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a lengthy period of time, or stored in a place with a low temperature, the following procedure must be followed:

1. Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains.
2. Disconnect the dishwasher from the water supply.
3. Demount the supply hose and drain water from the dishwasher. A shallow tray, e.g. a sink tub, may be used for collecting the drained water.
4. Reconnect the supply hose to the dishwasher.
5. Remove the filtering system in the dishwasher's bottom and dry the remaining water in the drain e.g. with a sponge.

Some maintenance tips

• After every use, turn off the water supply, and leave the dishwasher's door slightly open to prevent dampness and odour from accumulating.
• Before maintaining and cleaning, disconnect the supply cord from the electric socket.

Do not use rough tools or hand-washing sponges. They might scratch the surface. Use a wet cloth soaked in water with detergent.

• When leaving your apartment for a longer period of time, run a dishwashing program with the dishwasher empty; once the program is over, disconnect the power supply cord from the electric socket, close the water tap, and leave the door slightly open to prevent dampness and odour from accumulating inside. The ajar door also prolongs the life of the door seals.
• If the appliance is to be relocated, keep it in the vertical position during transfer. If this is impossible, turn and move it onto its back side.
• Impurities accumulated around individual seals are one of the sources of odour. Check them and wipe with a wet cloth if needed.

DISHWASHER CONNECTION AND ASSEMBLY

General

Standard and built-in dishwashers installed additionally as free-standing appliances must be protected from overturning. They should, for example, be screwed to the wall, or placed under a compact worktop fixed to cupboards. The dishwasher has to be expertly connected to ensure its proper operation. The data for water input and output and electric parameters must correspond to the data indicated in the technical parameters or assembly instructions.

Preparation for installation

The built-in dimensions are shown in Figure 12. Leave a minimum space of 50mm around the open door.

Fig. 12

Dimensions and cover plate fixture to door

Figure 13 shows the required dimensions and placing of the holes on the dishwasher's door cover plate.

Fig. 13

Fix the holder to the cover plate so that the holder's fixing bolts have sunken heads not protruding from the cover plate back side. Mount swivels in holes with a min. diameter of 2 mm (Figure 14) and slide the whole assembly onto the dishwasher door (Figure 15).

Door lifting spring strength adjustment

The door cover plate weight depends on the material used. The spring strength can be adjusted by turning the screws (Figure 16) on the front side so that the door holds in the open position, and closes smoothly when lifted.

Drain hose connection

Connect the drain hose:

a) to the drain tube 40 mm in diameter with a vent,
b) or use the supplied adapter allowing drainage into a sink tub or a bathtub.

Note: When used, the adapter must be fixed properly. Otherwise, it may come loose and water may spill on the floor.

c) or use the siphon side hose of the sink or basin. Fix the hose to the lower side of the worktop. Thus, the water is prevented from flowing back into the dishwasher.

The end of the drain hose should be 400-1000 mm (Figure 17) above the floor, and not immersed in water to prevent water back flow.

Make sure the hose is not bent or jammed to prevent the water supply from becoming reduced or stopped.

Fig. 17

Water inlet connection

- Prior to connecting the supply hose to the water mains, make sure the water pressure complies with values of 0.04-1.00 MPa. In case of higher water pressure, a pressure reduction valve must be installed.

- The dishwasher can be connected to hot (maximum 60°) or cold water. Connection to cold water is recommended. A hot water supply may not necessarily be effective for very stained dishes, as it reduces the time of the washing program too much.

- Connect the supply hose to a water tap with a 3/4" thread (Figure 22). Make sure the supply hose is not bent, pressed, or tangled.

- When an old dishwasher is replaced with a new one, a new water supply hose must always be used to connect to the water source; the old supply hose must never be reused.

- In case the water mains are new or were not used for a long time, let a sufficient volume of water run out before connecting the water supply hose so that pipes may get flushed and any potential deposits are prevented from entering the dishwater.

Connecting to the mains

• Make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the values on the rating plate.
• Only use grounded electric sockets.
• Never use adapter sockets, connectors and extension cords. They might create a risk of fire due to overheating.
• The dishwasher supply cord plug must remain freely accessible after the dishwasher is installed.
• Only a qualified specialist may perform any changes in connection.

DISHWASHER INSTALLATION

When installing the dishwasher, follow these instructions:

1. Check the dishwasher after delivery. Note: All the dishwasher functions have been checked thoroughly during manufacture. Small water stains may be left after these tests. They will disappear after the first washing.

2. Fix the cover plate on the dishwasher door.

3. Adjust the door lifting spring strength.

4. Connect the water supply hose to the water mains.

5. Connect the drain hose to the water sink.

6. Connect the dishwater to the mains.

7. Fix the condensation strip to the plate bottom following the instructions on the condensation strip backside. Dampness will condense on it, and the wooden desk will thus be protected.

8. Push the dishwasher into the selected place in the cupboard.

9. Level the dishwasher horizontally by adjusting the feet. In the centre of the lower side front section, there is a screw allowing adjustment of the back height. Check the horizontal position using a level.

10. Make sure the dishwasher is secured in the cupboard against displacement by fixing sheet metal plates and wood screws fixed to the upper board or/and to the side board of the corpus.

Demounting

When demounting the dishwasher, it is important to proceed in the correct sequence of operations:

1. First, disconnect the dishwasher from the mains (pull out the plug).
2. Close the water supply.
3. Loosen the water drain and inlet hoses.
4. Loosen the fixing screws.
5. Demount the plate base when used with the dishwasher.
6. Pull out the dishwasher and in doing so pull out carefully also the water drain and supply hoses, and the supply cord.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Dishwasher users may resolve most minor faults that may occur during the dishwasher operation themselves without calling the service centre. This will save them money and help them put the dishwasher back in operation. The following overview table should be consulted in finding out causes of fault occurrences.

Problem Cause Solution
The dishwasher can't be operated.	Plug inserted into the mains outlet incorrectly or insufficiently.	Check the plug connection.
	The mains outlet is not live. Check for voltage, e.g. by connecting another appliance.
The dishwasher does not run.	The dishwasher is not closed properly.	Make sure the dishwasher is ON and the door is closed tight.
	The water tap is not open. Check to make sure the water supply is open.
	The supply hose sieve is clogged. Turn off the dishwasher and disconnect the power cable from wall outlet. Close the water supply. Clean the sieve located on the supply hose connection.
The lower or upper spray arm turns with difficulty.	The arm is blocked by dishes or food particles.	Check the position of the dishes, or clean the arm.
The dishwasher detergent container can't be closed.	The container is full. Remove the excess amount of dishwasher detergent.

	The filters are clogged. Check and replace the filters.
	The discharge pump is blocked. Have the unit repaired by a qualified specialist.
Soapy water in the washing zone.	Unsuitable dishwasher detergent, spilled rinse aid.	Use only dishwasher detergent designed for dishwashers; if there is soapy foam in the washing zone, leave the dishwasher open. Add 4.5 liters of cold water to the washing zone, close the dishwasher and pump out the water. Repeat the steps if necessary. Always wipe up spilled rinse aid.
Stains in the washing zone.	Colored dishwasher detergent was used.	Do not use colored dishwasher detergents.
The dishes aren't dry.	The rinse aid container is empty.	Make sure the rinse aid container is filled.
The dishes and cutlery aren't clean.	Wrong program. Select a more effective program.
	Incorrectly loaded dishwasher. Make sure the operation of the rinse aid container and spray arms is not blocked by incorrectly loaded dishes.
Stains and film on glasses and cutlery.	Extremely hard water, low water temperature, overloaded dishwasher, incorrectly loaded dishwasher, old or wet dishwasher detergent, empty rinse aid container, wrong dosage of the dishwasher detergent.	Take out metal dishes, do not add dishwasher detergent, select the longest program, run the dishwasher for 18 – 20 minutes, during main washing open the door, pour 2 cups of vinegar on the bottom, close the door, and let the dishwasher finish the washing cycle. If the vinegar does not work, repeat the whole procedure and add 1⁄4 cup of citric acid.
Stains on glass.	Combination of soft water and too much dishwasher detergent.	Use less dishwasher detergent in case of soft water, and select the shortest washing cycle for washing glass.
Yellow or brown film on the internal surface.	Ferrous sediments in the water can cause this film.	Contact a company specializing in water treatment and ask for a suitable filter.
White film on the internal surface.	Mineral sediments from hard water.	Use a wet sponge with detergent; put rubber gloves on. Never use any other cleaning agents than those designed for dishwashers.
Slight steam leakage.	Normal phenomenon. It is common for steam to leak through the door lock during drying and water discharge.
Black or gray stains on the dishes.	Aluminum cutlery was touching the dishes during washing.	Use a soft abrasive to clean the stains. Do not use this agent in the dishwasher!
Water remains in the washing zone.	Normal phenomenon. A small volume of water around the drain holes on the bottom keeps the sealing lubricated.
The dishwasher is leaking.	The dishwasher detergent or rinse aid container is overflowing, or the dishwasher is not in a horizontal position.	The dishwasher detergent or rinse aid container is overflowing, or the dishwasher is not in a horizontal position.
"E1" symbol is displayed.	The dishwasher has been pumping water for a long time.	Check the water supply.
"E4" symbol is displayed.	The dishwasher is overflowing. Too much water supplied. Check the supply water pressure.
"E8" symbol is displayed.	Water supply valve defect.	Have the unit repaired by a qualified specialist.

Note: The angled water tap sold in the Czech Republic mostly contains a check valve that can be blocked when Aqua-Stop equipment is used, and, therefore, the appliance does not pump water. To make sure the operation is correct the check valve must be removed from the tap.
