Frequently Asked Questions - CG 564 CONSTRUCTA

What should I do if the dishwasher does not start?

Check if the fuse in the mains supply is intact, the plug is inserted, the door is closed properly, the water tap is turned on, and the strainer in the water intake hose is not blocked.

How do I clean the filters?

Turn off the dishwasher. Remove the coarse/microfilter by unscrewing it, then lift out the fine filter. Rinse both under running water to remove debris. Reinsert the fine filter and screw the coarse/microfilter back tightly.

Why are my dishes not drying properly?

Ensure the selected programme includes a drying function. The rinse-aid level may be too low; adjust the setting higher. Also, remove dishes as soon as the programme ends to allow better air drying.

What type of detergent should I use?

Use any dishwasher-specific powder, liquid, or tablet detergent. Do not use regular washing-up liquid. For environmental reasons, choose phosphate-free detergents, but note they may require higher dosage or temperature for hard water.

How do I adjust the rinse-aid amount?

Open the rinse-aid container lid. Turn the stepless control knob: towards '-' if there are streaks on glasses, towards '+' if there are water marks. The factory setting is 3.5.

What causes excessive foam during washing?

This is usually due to normal washing-up liquid being poured into the rinse-aid container. Remove any foam manually and ensure only dishwasher-specific products are used.

How should I arrange cutlery in the basket?

Place cutlery randomly with handles pointing downwards (except for knives with sharp blades). Long and pointed items should be placed on the shelf or knife shelf to prevent injury and ensure proper water circulation.

What items are not suitable for the dishwasher?

Avoid wooden items, delicate decorative glassware, antique china, non-heat-resistant plastics, copper, pewter, aluminum, silver items, and highly absorbent materials like sponges. Items soiled with tobacco ash, wax, or paint should also be excluded.

How do I set the water hardness level?

Determine your tap water hardness (ask local water supplier). Use the water hardness table in the manual to find the correct setting (0-3). Turn the switch on the salt container to the corresponding level. Add special salt if setting is 1-3.

What to do if water remains in the appliance after programme completion?

Check for a blockage or kink in the drainage hose. Ensure the drainage pump is not jammed; clean the filters if they are blocked. If problem persists, inspect the pump for obstructions by removing the cover (after draining water).

• Check packaging and dishwasher immediately for signs of transport damage. If the appliance is damaged, do not put it into use but contact your supplier without delay.
• Please dispose of packaging materials properly.

During installation

• Site the dishwasher and connect it up in accordance with the installation instructions.
• The dishwasher must not be connected to the electricity supply while installation is being carried out.
• Ensure that the domestic wiring is properly earthed.
• The mains electricity supply must conform to the details shown on the dishwasher nameplate.

- Do not connect the dishwasher to the electricity supply via an extension cable.

- Not on all models: The plastic housing on the water input contains an electrically operated valve. The connecting wires are inside the inlet hose. Do not cut through this hose and do not immerse the plastic housing in water.

- Built-under and built-in appliances should always be installed under a continuous work surface which is attached to the adjacent cupboards, in order to ensure that the appliance is entirely stable.

- After the appliance has been installed, the mains plug should still be easily accessible.

During normal use

• Use the dishwasher solely in a domestic environment and for its designated purpose: washing household tableware and other utensils.
• Do not place any heavy objects or stand on the door when it is open. The appliance could tip forward.
• The water inside the dishwasher is not suitable for drinking.
• Do not use solvents of any kind inside your dishwasher. They could cause an explosion.
• Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher is operating. There is a risk of water squirting out.

If your family includes children

• Do not permit small children to play with or operate the dishwasher.
• Keep children away from detergents and rinse-aids.
• Keep small children away from the open door of the dishwasher. There could still be some detergent left inside.

Safety information

If a fault occurs

• Repairs or other work on the dishwasher should only be carried out by a qualified specialist.
• The dishwasher must be disconnected from the electricity supply before any repairs or other work are started. Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket or switch off at the fuse box. Grasp the plug to remove it from the socket; do not tug on the cable. Turn the water off at the tap.

When disposing of old appliances

• Appliances that have reached the end of their service life should be rendered inoperable in order to exclude the possibility of subsequent accidents. Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket, cut through the connecting cable and disable the door lock.
• Take the appliance to a designated waste disposal centre.

You will need to purchase the following before using the dishwasher for the first time:

• special salt for use in dishwashers
• detergent
• rinse-aid

Water softener

In order to rinse dishes and glasses satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on crockery and glasses, etc.

If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e. decalcified, so that it can be used in the dishwasher.

This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher.

The water softener, that is the required amount of salt, is set up according to how hard the tap water is.

Setting up the water softener

• Determine the level of hardness of your tap water. Your local water company or service agent can help you with this.
  – Identify setting from the following water hardness table.

Water hardness table

- Set the water hardness switch 26 to the appropriate level.

Filling the special salt container

How the salt works

While washing is taking place, salt is automatically rinsed out of the salt container into the water softener where it dissolves the lime in the water.

The dissolved lime is pumped out of the dishwasher. The water softening system is then ready for the next load.

This process of regeneration can only function when the salt is dissolved in water.

Unscrew the lid on the salt container 25

Before you use the dishwasher for the first time, pour approx. 1 litre of water into the salt container.

Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the filler hole.

Tip in enough salt to fill the container to the top (maximum of 1.5 kg). As you tip in salt, some of the water is displaced and drains away. When you have done this, clean off any remnants of salt from the area round the neck of the container. Screw the lid back onto the container, ensuring that it is not cross-threaded.

Filling the special salt container

The LOW SALT indicator ^4 on the front panel will light up initially but will extinguish again after a short period when the salt solution has become sufficiently concentrated.

Information

If the switch is set to "0", it is not necessary to add any salt, as none is consumed while the dishwasher is operating. If the switch is set between "1" and "3", then salt must be added.

Warning!

Do not pour detergent into the container for special salt. This would destroy the water softener.

LOW SALT indicator

Salt should be added as soon as the LOW SALT indicator 4 in the fascia panel illuminates. For models that do not have an indicator in the fascia panel, salt should be added as soon as the coloured dot in the lid on the salt container 25 is no longer visible.

Filling the rinse-aid container

The purpose of a rinse-aid is to prevent the formation of water marks on tableware and utensils, and to ensure that glasses are clean and sparkling. The rinse-aid is consumed during the washing process.

• Fold back the lid on the rinse-aid container 28. To open the lid, press the mark on the rinse-aid lid and simultaneously lift the lid off the lug.
• Pour the rinse-aid into the container through the filler hole (see figure) until the level indicator turns dark.
• Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it snap closed.

Filling the rinse-aid container

Adjusting the amount of rinse-aid

The amount of rinse-aid added to the water can be varied by adjusting the stepless control. The rinse-aid control has been set to "3.5" in the factory.

Do not alter the setting of the rinse-aid control unless streaks (turn knob towards “−”) or water marks (turn knob towards “+”) are left on the dishes.

LOW RINSE-AID indicator

As long as the level indicator 6 on the rinse-aid container 28 is dark and the one on the front panel has not illuminated, there is sufficient rinse-aid in the dishwasher.

LOW RINSE-AID indicator

Important

Use only rinse-aid intended for use in domestic dishwashers.

Not suitable for the dishwasher

What you should not put into the dishwasher:

Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from wood. They become faded and unsightly in appearance. Furthermore, the adhesives that are used are not suitable for the temperatures that occur inside the dishwasher. Delicate decorative glassware and vases, special antique or irreplaceable china. The decorative patterns on such items will not be dishwasher-proof.

Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and pewter utensils are also not suitable. Decorative patterns printed or painted onto the surface of crockery, glasses, etc., aluminium and silver items tend to become discoloured or faded if washed in the dishwasher. Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance after they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent materials, such as sponges and towels, should never be placed in the dishwater.

Our recommendation:

In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed as being dishwasher-proof.

Important

Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by tobacco ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint, should not be put in the dishwasher.

Not suitable for the dishwasher

Damage to glassware and other dishes

Possible causes:

• type of glass or manufacturing process
• chemical composition of detergent
• water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme.

Suggested remedy:

• Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked 'dishwasher-proof' by the manufacturer.
• Use a mild detergent that is described as 'kind to dishes'. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers.
• Select a programme with as low a temperature and as short a duration as possible. This is one advantage of connecting the dishwasher to a hot-water supply.
• To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme has ended.

Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher

Loading the dishwasher

Scrape off any large amounts of left-over food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.

Place objects in the dishwasher in such a way that

• items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down,
• curved items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run off,
  – they are stacked securely and cannot tip over,
  – they do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.

Cutlery

Cutlery should always be inserted in random order with the handles pointing downwards (take care with knife blades!). This enables the jet of water to reach the individual items more easily.

To prevent the risk of injury, place long and pointed implements and knives on the shelf (some models) or knife shelf (available as an accessory).

Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers or knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms. The shelf can be folded back when not required for use.

Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher

Adjusting position of basket \*

* not on all models

The top basket can be inserted on either its upper or lower rollers, according to requirement. This enables more height to be gained for bigger dishes in either the top or bottom basket.

Detergents

Information about detergents

You can use any brand of liquid or powder detergent, as well as tablets, that have been specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers. (Do not use normal washing-up liquid!)

1. those containing phosphates and chlorine,
2. those containing phosphates but no chlorine,
3. those containing neither phosphates nor chlorine.

We recommend you use detergents that contain neither phosphates nor chlorine as these are less harmful to the environment.

When a phosphate-free detergent is used in conjunction with hard water, there is a greater possibility that white marks will be left behind on crockery and glasses, etc. These can be avoided by pouring an increased amount of detergent into the dispenser.

Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced bleaching effect. This can mean that tea stains are not completely removed or plastic items become discoloured.

This can be resolved by:

• selecting a higher temperature programme, or
• increasing the amount of detergent, or
• using a detergent that contains chlorine.

Check the label on the detergent packaging to determine whether a particular product is suitable for use with silverware.

If you have any further questions, we recommend that you contact the customer advice departments of the various detergent manufacturers.

Detergents

Detergent compartment with measuring marks

The side of the detergent compartment is marked with lines to help you determine how much powder to add.

The capacity of the detergent container is 15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up to the middle line. When the compartment is full, it contains 40 ml.

Important

If the lid on the detergent compartment is closed, press the release lever to open the flap.

Adding detergent

- Tip detergent powder into the corresponding compartment 29.

Please observe the manufacturer's instructions printed on the detergent packaging when determining the correct dosage.

Reduce costs!

If your dishes are only moderately dirty, you may be able to use less detergent than recommended.

• Close the lid on the detergent compartment. Press down the lid (1) until it clicks shut (2).
• If you are using detergent in tablet form, read the manufacturer's recommendations on the packaging in order to determine where the tablets should be placed inside the dishwasher (e.g. in cutlery basket, detergent compartment, etc.). Make sure that the lid on the detergent compartment is closed, even if you are using tablets.

Washing dishes

Programme selection

The most appropriate programme can be identified by comparing the type of crockery, cutlery, etc., as well as the amount and condition of food remains, with the details contained in the programme overview.

The corresponding programme sequence, duration and consumption details are shown in the bottom half of the overview.

For example:

For a mixture of various types of crockery and utensils with plenty of food remains that are not stuck on fast, use the NORMAL 65°/55° programme.

Reduce costs!

If only a small number of dishes have been loaded into the dishwasher, selecting a programme that operates at the next lowest temperature will usually suffice.

Program data

The stated programme data are based on standard operating conditions. The values can vary considerably according to:

• different amounts of dishes
• temperature of mains water supply
• pressure of mains water supply
• ambient temperature
• fluctuations in mains voltage
• machine-related factors (e.g. temperature, water volume, ...).

Energy and water consumption is reduced by up to 1/4 when dishes are washed in the upper basket only.

Water consumption values are based on a water hardness setting of 1.

Switching the dishwasher ON

• Turn the programme selector 1 to the required programme (turn clockwise only).
• Press the corresponding temperature button 9.
• Press the main switch 7. The control lamp lights up 8. The programme now starts.

Switching the dishwasher OFF

Several minutes after the programme has ended:

• Set the main switch 7 to OFF. The indicator light 8 extinguishes.
• Turn the water tap off. (Does not apply when Aqua-Stop unit has been fitted). It is not necessary to reset the programme selector.
• Remove dishes, etc. when they have cooled down.

Interrupting the programme

• Set the main switch 7 to OFF.
• Indicator lights extinguish.
• If the hot water was switched ON or the appliance has already heated up and then the appliance door opened, leave the door ajar for several minutes and then close. Otherwise, the appliance door may fly open due to expansion.
• In order to resume the programme, set the main switch to ON again.

Washing dishes

Changing the programme

If you want to change the previously selected programme, press the main switch 7.

Turn the programme selector 1 to the new programme and press the corresponding temperature button 9 (on some models only). Press the main switch again.

Check whether the detergent compartment is still closed. If necessary, fill up with detergent again.

Programme sequence indicator

While the dishes are being washed, the programme selector rotates in a clockwise direction and indicates how far the programme has progressed.

Care and maintenance

Regular inspection and maintenance of your appliance helps to prevent problems from occurring. This saves time and aggravation. You should therefore carefully inspect the inside of your dishwasher from time to time.

Overall condition of appliance

• Check that no grease or scale has accumulated on the inside of the dishwasher.
  If you discover any deposits:
  – Clean the interior of the dishwasher thoroughly with a detergent solution.

Dishwasher salt

Check the LOW SALT indicator 4 or 25 Top up with salt, if required.

Rinse-aid

Check the level of liquid in the rinse-aid container 6 or 28. Top up with rinse-aid, if required.

Care and maintenance

Filters

The filters 23 prevent larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump. This residue can occasionally clog up the filters.

The filter system consists of a coarse/microfilter and a flat fine filter.

• Inspect the filters for obstructions every time the dishwasher has been used.
• Remove the filters if necessary. After you have unscrewed the coarse/microfilter, you can lift out the fine filter. Remove any obstructions and clean the filters under running water.
• Re-insert the fine filter and secure it in place by screwing the coarse/microfilter tight.

Care and maintenance

Drainage pump

Larger remnants of food in the washing water that have not been kept back by the filters can cause a blockage in the drainage pump. Waste water is no longer pumped out of the dishwasher and can be seen covering the filter.

Proceed as follows:

• Ladle out as much water as possible.
• Remove the filters 23.
• Undo the bolt securing the pump and remove the cover (i.e. and loosen screw, Torx T 20).
• Inspect the inside for obstructions and remove any that you find.
• Replace cover and secure with bolt.
• Insert filters again.

Fault finding

Resolving minor problems yourself

Experience has shown that you can resolve most problems that arise during normal daily usage yourself, without having to call out a service engineer. Not only does this save costs, but it also means that the appliance is available for use again that much sooner. The following list of common occurrences and their remedies should help you identify the causes of most problems.

Important information

Notes on waste disposal

Old appliances still have some residual value. An environment-friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again.

When an appliance has reached the end of its working life, unplug it from the mains. Cut through the mains cable and dispose of it together with the plug.

Destroy the door locking mechanism. This will ensure that children at play cannot become locked inside and are not exposed to the risk of suffocation.

Your new appliance was protected by suitable packaging while it was on its way to you. All materials used for this purpose are environment-friendly and can be recycled. Please make a contribution to protecting the environment by disposing of the packaging appropriately.

Do not allow children to play with any parts of the packaging. There is a risk of suffocation by the cardboard boxes and the plastic wrapping.

Up-to-date information concerning options for disposal can be obtained from your retailer or local municipal administration.

General information

- Measures must be taken to ensure that built-under and built-in units that are subsequently re-sited as free-standing appliances cannot topple over. This can be achieved by bolting the dishwasher to the wall or fitting it under a continuous work surface which is screwed to the adjacent cupboards.

- For Switzerland only: There are no restrictions on installing the appliance between wooden or plastic walls as part of a fitted kitchen. If the appliance is not plugged into a wall socket, it must be connected to the mains via a separator for all poles within the domestic wiring system. This device must have a gap of at least 3 mm between open contacts, in order to conform with relevant safety regulations.

Installation

In order to function correctly the dishwasher must be properly installed. Specifications for the water intake and waste-water drainage, as well as electrical connections, must fulfil the criteria that are set out in the following paragraphs and the installation instructions.

- When installing the dishwasher, carry out tasks in the following order:

• check contents of delivery upon receipt,
• site dishwasher,
• connect drainage hose,
• connect inlet hose to water supply,
• connect dishwasher to electricity supply.

Checking contents of delivery

All functions of your dishwasher have been thoroughly tested in the factory. A small number of water marks have been left on the dishwasher as a result. They disappear as soon as the appliance is used for the first time.

Siting the dishwasher

Dimensions associated with siting the dishwasher are contained in the installation instructions. Ensure that the appliance is completely level by adjusting the feet. Make sure that it is standing on a firm surface.

Drainage connection

See the installation instructions for details of procedure to be followed.

If necessary, fit a siphon trap (U-bend) with a connecting piece for the drainage hose. Connect the drainage hose to the trap using the enclosed parts.

Fresh-water connection

Connect the inlet hose to a water tap using the enclosed parts and in accordance with the installation instructions.

Water pressure:

Minimum 0,5 bar - maximum 10 bar. If the water pressure is higher, install a pressure reducing valve.

Flow rate:

Minimum of 10 litres per minute.

Water temperature:

We recommend that you use cold water. If you do use hot water, the temperature should not exceed 60 °C.

Electrical connection

This appliance should only be connected to a 230/240 V AC source via a properly installed earthed socket. See nameplate for size of required fuse.

The socket must be installed close to the dishwasher.

If you need to extend the mains connecting lead, do not cut off the plug. Replace the whole cable, which can be disconnected at the junction box on the rear of the appliance.

If the domestic wiring includes a residual-current-operated (FI) circuit-breaker, make sure that it bears the mark, as only this type conforms to the latest regulations

Disconnecting the dishwasher

Here too, it is important that tasks are carried out in the correct sequence: always unplug the appliance from the mains electricity first of all. Pull plug out of wall socket. Turn off water supply. Disconnect drain and water input hoses. Remove screws in underside of work surface. Detach base board, if fitted. Pull out appliance and carefully withdraw hoses at same time.

Installation

Transporting the dishwasher

Drain water from the dishwasher. Secure all loose parts. The appliance should only be transported in an upright position.

- If the appliance is not kept upright during transport, any water left inside may seep into the control module and cause subsequent errors with programme functions.

Protection from freezing temperatures

If the appliance is installed in a location where there is a risk of freezing temperatures (e.g. in a holiday home), all water must be completely drained out of the interior.

Turn OFF the tap, disconnect the supply hose and allow to drain.
