Frequently Asked Questions - CG 560J2 CONSTRUCTA

Do I need to use special salt in my dishwasher?

Yes, dishwasher salt is required to soften the water and prevent limescale deposits. Fill the salt container with about 1 litre of water first, then add salt up to 1.5 kg. The LOW SALT indicator will light up when salt needs to be refilled.

How do I adjust the rinse-aid amount?

The rinse-aid dispenser has a stepless control. The factory setting is 4. If dishes have streaks, turn the knob towards '-'; if they have water marks, turn towards '+'. The LOW RINSE-AID indicator lights up when low.

Which programme should I use for heavily soiled pots and pans?

Use the Intensive 65°C/70°C programme. It includes a pre-rinse at 50°C, wash at 70°C, main rinses, end rinse at 70°C, and drying. It has the longest duration (99 min) and highest energy/water consumption.

Can I open the door during a wash cycle?

You can open the door carefully, but water may squirt out. If you open it after heating, leave the door ajar for a few minutes before closing to avoid the door flying open due to steam expansion.

What should I do if there is too much foam inside the dishwasher?

Foam can occur if normal washing-up liquid is used by mistake. Do not use anything other than dishwasher detergent. If foam appears, stop the programme and remove as much foam as possible, then restart with a rinse programme.

How do I clean the filters?

Remove the filter system by unscrewing the filter cylinder. Clean the filter cylinder, flat fine filter, and microfilter (if present) under running water. Reassemble by inserting and screwing the cylinder back. Inspect filters after every use.

My dishes are not drying properly. What can I do?

Ensure you use a rinse-aid and that the amount is set correctly (increase towards '+'). Select a programme with a drying phase (e.g., Intensive, Normal, or Eco). Leave the door ajar after the cycle ends to allow steam to escape.

How does the child lock work?

The child lock (on applicable models) prevents children from opening the door. Refer to the drawings in the manual: to engage, press the door handle in a specific way; to open with the lock engaged, follow the instructions; to disengage, reverse the action.

Can I use dishwasher tablets?

Yes, use tablets designed for domestic dishwashers. Place them in the detergent dispenser or as directed on the packaging. Ensure the dispenser lid is closed even when using tablets.

What should I do if the dishwasher stops mid-cycle?

First, check if the electricity supply is on and the water tap is open. If the programme has stalled, perform a reset: with the main switch on, press the 'reset' or 'new selection' buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The appliance will drain and reset.

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.

Water hardness table

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.

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.

Illustration of a funnel pouring granular material into a conical container with a side view showing a mechanical component (no text or symbols)

The LOW SALT indicator 5 on the front panel will light up initially but will extinguish again after a short period when the salt solution has become sufficiently concentrated.

Warning!

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

LOW SALT indicator

Add more salt as soon as the LOW SALT indicator 5 on the front panel lights up.

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 ↑

Illustration of a hand using a tool to press or install a component, with arrows indicating motion (no text or symbols present)

• Pour the rinse-aid into the filler hole until the level indicator turns dark.
• Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it snap closed.

Important

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

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 "4" 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 rinse-aid refill indicator on the panel 6 or dispenser has not illuminated, there is sufficient rinse-aid in the dishwasher.

LOW RINSE-AID indicator

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.

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 fdishwasher-proofí by the manufacturer..
• Use a mild detergent that is described as kind to dishesi. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers.
• Select a programme with as low a temperature and as short a duration as possible.
• 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

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.

Cups and glasses 21

Cups and smaller glasses should preferably be arranged at the back or the front of the racks.

Pots and pans

Pots and pans can be placed at the front of the rack 24.

Illustration of a basket filled with various fruits and vegetables, no text or symbols present

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).

Arranging crockery; glasses, etc. in the dishwasher

Folding spikes \*

Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf - not against other items to be washed.

Diagram of a grid-patterned structure with an arrow pointing to a specific area (no text or symbols present)

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

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.

The height of the cutlery-basket handle can also be adjusted.

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!)

Nowadays there are three types of dishwasher detergent available:

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

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.

Detergent

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 27

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

When you select the INTENSIVE programme, tip an extra 10-15 ml of detergent onto the inside surface of the door.

Reduce costs!

If you are using the upper rack only, or if your dishes are only moderately dirty, it will normally suffice to employ a reduced amount of detergent than otherwise 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:

Use the "Normal" programme for dishes and utensils which have plenty of food remains stuck on hard.

Reduce costs!

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

Programme 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 4.

Switching the dishwasher ON

• Set main switch 1 to ON. Indicators light up according to the last programme that was selected. This same programme will run again if no other programme button is pressed.
• The programme starts automatically.

End of programme

The programme has ended when a light 3 turn on.

Switching the dishwasher OFF

Several minutes after the programme has ended:

• Set the main switch 1 to OFF.
• Turn the water tap off. (Does not apply when Aqua-Stop unit has been fitted)
• Remove dishes, etc. when they have cooled down.

Interrupting the programme

• Set main switch 1 to OFF.
• Indicator lights extinguish. The programme is retained in the dishwasher memory.
• 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 continue with the stored programme, set the main switch to ON again.

GB

Washing dishes

Cancel programme (Reset)

• Only when the master switch is ON. Press the "reset" or "new selection" buttons simultaneously, and hold them pressed for approx. 3 seconds.
• The programme continues for approx. 1 min.
• When it has ended, set the main switch to OFF.
• Close the detergent compartment.

To restart the dishwasher, set main switch 1 to ON again and select desired programme.

Changing the programme

You can change the selected programme on the first 2 minutes after switching on the dishwasher.

If you wish to change a selected programme when it's running, first finish stages initialized before you can change it.

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.

Special dishwasher salt

Check the LOW SALT indicator 5. Top up with salt, if required.

Rinse-aid

Check the LOW RINSE-AID indicator 6 on the front panel or the level indicator on the rinse-aid container 27. 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 filter cylinder, a flat fine filter and, depending on the model, a microfilter (*).

Inspect the filters for obstructions every time the dishwasher has been used.

By unscrewing the filter cylinder, you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water.

Care and maintenance

Spray arms

Lime and remnants of food in the washing water can block the nozzles in the spray arms 20 and 22 and the arm mountings.

• Inspect the nozzles in the spray arms for blocked holes due to remnants of food.
• If necessary, pull the lower arm 22 upwards and lift it off.
• Unscrew the upper spray arm 20.
• Clean both spray arms under running water.
• Refit the spray arms. Ensure that the lower arm has locked into place and the upper one is screwed tight.

Pump

Larger remnants of food that have not been trapped by the filters and have been left in the water can cause a blockage in the pump. The water is no longer pumped out of the dishwasher and it can be seen covering the filter.

Proceed as follows:

• Ladle out as much water as possible.
• Remove the filters 23.
• Undo the screw in the cover (Torx T 20) and remove the cover.
• Inspect the inside and remove any obstructions that you find.
• Re-insert the cover and screw down.
• Re-insert the filters and screw down.

Other 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.

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.

Installation

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.

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 (see "Transporting the dishwasher").

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