PREPARE THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION

1

Before first use

Before using the appliance, verify that the data given on the rating plate matches that of local power outlets.
■ Remove all packing materials from inside of the appliance.
Prepare special salt (water softener).
Pour water into the special salt dispenser and then add about 1.5 kg of special salt (dishwasher salt).
Pour rinse aid into the dispenser.

2

The importance of water descaling

A dishwasher requires soft water (with low calcium content) to operate efficiently. Otherwise, white residue main remain on the dishes and inside the appliance. This has a negative impact on the quality of dishwashing, rinsing and drying. When the water flows through the softener, ions responsible for the water hardness are removed, and the water becomes soft, for best dishwashing results. Depending on the degree of water hardness, the ions responsible for water hardness accumulate quickly inside the water softener. Therefore, the water softener must be regenerated to operate with the same efficiency during the next wash. This is why special salt is used in the dishwasher.

3

Add special salt

Only use special salt intended for dishwashers.

Any other type of salt that is not intended for use in a dishwasher, especially regular kitchen salt, will damage the water softener. In the event of damage caused by the use of the wrong salt, the manufacturer's warranty is void and we will not be liable for damage. Fill with special salt before running the washing programme.

This will prevent spilled special salt or salty water from remaining on the bottom of the device, which may cause corrosion.

  1. Remove the lower basket from the appliance and unscrew the special salt dispenser cap.
  2. Place the end of the funnel (included) in the hole and pour about 1.5 kg of salt.
  3. Pour water into the dispenser until full. It is normal that a small amount of water spills out of the special salt dispenser.
  4. After you fill the dispenser, screw the cap on.
  5. When you fill the dispenser with special salt, the add salt indicator goes out.
  6. Start the washing programme immediately after filling the dispenser with special salt (the quick wash is recommended). Otherwise, salty water can damage the filters, the pump or other important appliance components This is not covered by the warranty.

NOTE:

Fill the special salt dispenser when the special salt indicator on the control panel lights up. Depending on the rate of salt dissolution, the special salt indicator may still be on even after filling the dispenser.

If there is no special salt indicator on the control panel (on some models), you can estimate when to top up the dispenser based on the number of wash cycles performed.

If some special salt spills, run the soaking programme or a quick wash programme.

The test strip

The dishwashing effectiveness is linked to water hardness. Therefore, the appliance is equipped with a system to reduce the hardness of the water supply. The dishwashing effectiveness is improved when the system is set correctly. To check water hardness contact the municipal water company or determined the water hardness using test strip (if available).

Open the detergent dispenser flap by pressing the detergent dispenser tab to release the lock as shown in the figure. The detergent dispenser features volume marking. Using these markings (lines) you can measure the correct amount of detergent. The dispenser can accommodate a maximum of 30g of detergent.

Open the pack with dishwasher detergent and in the case of heavily soiled dishes pour 25 cm ^3 detergent into the main wash compartment (A) or 15 cm ^3 for less soiled dishes (B). If the dishes remained unwashed for an extended period of time or if food has dried, pour 5 cm ^3 detergent into the pre-wash compartment and start the dishwasher. Depending on the amount of soil and the water hardness you may need to add more detergent.

Please note that the setting may be different depending on the water contamination. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the detergent packaging.

Multi-component (multitab) detergents (eg. 2-in-1, 3-in-1, etc.)

There are three types of detergents:

  1. Containing phosphates and chlorine,
  2. Containing phosphates and no chlorine,
  3. Containing no phosphates and no chlorine.

The latest tablets are generally phosphate-free. Since phosphates have water softening properties, we recommend adding salt to the container even if the water hardness is only 6°dH. If you use phosphate-free detergent where water is hard, white residue may be visible on the dishes.

You can prevent this by increasing the amount of detergent. Chlorine-free detergents have less bleaching effect. Stains may not be entirely removed. Select the programme with a higher wash temperature.

Generally, using multi-component detergents suitable results are obtained only under certain conditions. Such detergents contain rinse aid and/or special salt in a specific amount. It is recommended to use special salt when using multi-component tablets.

7

What you should pay attention to when using these tablets.

■ Always check the type of detergent used and whether it is a multi-component product.
■ Make sure that the detergent used is appropriate for tap water hardness.
■ Follow the instructions on the product packaging.
If the detergent is in the form of tablets, never place it the cutlery basket. Always place the tablet in the detergent dispenser compartment.
The use of these detergents yields good results only in certain applications. Using this type of detergent you should contact the manufacturer for information about proper use.
If you use the detergent properly and dishwasher settings are correct you can save on salt and/or rinse aid.
If dishwashing results while using 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 detergents are not satisfactory (traces of lime scale on the dishes), please contact the detergent manufacturer. The warranty does not cover complaints due to the use of multi-component detergents.

Hansa ZWM426EH - Multi-component (multitab) detergents (eg. 2-in-1, 3-in-1, etc.) - 1

Recommended use: For best results using multi-component cleaning agents, add special salt and rinse aid in the dishwasher and set the water hardness and amount of rinse aid to the lowest setting.

The solubility of the detergent tablets made by different manufacturers can vary with regard to temperature and time. It is therefore not recommended to use detergent tablets in quick programmes. It is recommended to use powder detergents in quick programmes.

Hansa ZWM426EH - Multi-component (multitab) detergents (eg. 2-in-1, 3-in-1, etc.) - 2

Always store detergents in a dry, cool place, out of reach of children. Add detergent to the dispenser immediately before using the appliance.

Warning: If encounter another problem when using a multi-component detergent, please contact the detergent manufacturer.

Stop using multi-component detergents

■ Add special salt and rinse aid to dispensers.
■ Set the water hardness to the highest level (6) and run an empty dishwasher.
■ Adjust the water hardness.
■ Adjust rinse aid setting.

Add rinse aid to the dispenser and adjust setting

Use rinse aid to prevent the formation of white water drops, lime scale spots, white streaks that may occur on the dishes, as well as to improve the drying process. Contrary to popular belief, it not only serves to obtain a shiny dishes, but also to facilitate drying. For this reason, make sure there is always sufficient amount of rinse aid in the dispenser.

If the rinse aid indicator on the control panel lights up, add rinse aid to the dispenser. To add rinse aid remove the dispenser lid by unscrewing it. Add rinse aid until the level indicator becomes dark. Replace the lid and turn it until markings align. Use rinse aid level indicator to make sure the level is sufficient. Dark colour indicates sufficient rinse aid level in the dispenser, and the light colour indicates you need to add rinse aid to the dispenser.

You can adjust rinse aid dosage from 1 to 6. The factory setting for the rinse aid is 4. Adjust to a higher dose if streaks remain on the dishes after drying or to a lower dose if blue residue collets on the dishes.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1

Clean external surfaces

Door and door seal

To remove food residue, clean the door gasket regularly with a soft, moist cloth. When loading dishes into the dishwasher, food and drink residue may deposit on the sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the dishwasher compartment and the water from the spray arms does not reach them. Remove any residue before closing the door.

Control Panel

Wipe the control panel ONLY with a soft, damp cloth.

WARNING

Do NOT use any spray cleaner to prevent water ingress into the door lock and electrical components.

Do not use any abrasive detergents or sharp cleaners on external surfaces. Some paper towels may also leave scratches or marks on the surface.

2

Clean internal surfaces Filter system

The filter system at the bottom of the dishwasher compartment stops coarse residue during wash cycle. This residue can cause clogging of the filters. Regularly check the condition of the filters and rinse them under running water, if necessary. Clean the filters as follows.

Clean the dishwasher

Frost protection

In winter, the dishwasher must be protected against freezing temperature. After each wash:

  1. Disconnect the dishwasher from power.
  2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet hose from the water valve.
  3. Drain the water from the inlet hose and the water valve. (Collect the water in a bowl)
  4. Reconnect the water inlet hose to the water valve.
  5. Remove the filter and use a sponge to collect the water from the bottom of the dishwasher.

After each wash

After each wash, close the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar, so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside.

Unplug the appliance

Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before any cleaning and maintenance.

Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents.

Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the outer parts and the rubber seals of the dishwasher. Use only cloths and warm soapy water.

To remove stains from the inside use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar or cleaning detergent intended specifically for dishwashers.

If the dishwasher is not used for a long time

It is recommended to run the washing programme with an empty dishwasher, then unplug the appliance from power, close the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar. This protects the gaskets and prevents the formation of unpleasant odours in the appliance.

Move the appliance

If the appliance needs to be moved, try to keep it in an upright position. If absolutely unavoidable, you can rest the appliance on the back wall.
