Frequently Asked Questions - Bolero Aguazero 6250 Full Bi CECOTEC

How to install the Cecotec Bolero Aguazero 6250 dishwasher?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Make sure the appliance is level and that the water connections (inlet and drain) are correct. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. Consult the manual for the built-in diagram.

What to do if the dishwasher does not start?

Check that the door is properly closed, that a program is selected, and that power is supplied. If the problem persists, consult the error code displayed and the troubleshooting table in the manual.

How to clean the dishwasher filter?

The filter is located at the bottom of the tub. Turn it counterclockwise to remove it, rinse under running water, and replace. Clean it at least once a month to prevent clogs.

How to use the rinse salt?

Open the cap of the salt reservoir (located under the lower basket), pour the salt using a funnel until the reservoir is full, then close. Use specific dishwasher salt. The salt indicator will turn off after a few cycles.

How to adjust the rinse aid?

The rinse aid dispenser is usually adjustable from 1 to 6. Open the lid of the rinse aid compartment and turn the dial. A higher setting increases the dosage. Start at 4 and adjust according to results.

Which program to choose for very dirty dishes?

Use the Intensive (or Automatic) program. This program heats the water to a high temperature (65-70 °C) and extends the cycle to remove stubborn residues. Do not overload the dishwasher.

How to activate the delayed start?

Press the Delayed start button until the display shows the desired time (3h, 6h or 9h). Close the door and the cycle will start automatically at the set time.

Why is the dishes not dry at the end of the cycle?

Make sure the rinse aid is sufficient and the dosage is correct. Use a program with drying. Also check that the filter is clean and that the dishwasher is not overloaded.

Which detergent to use?

Use a powder, gel, or tablet detergent suitable for dishwashers. Follow the recommended doses. For better performance, we recommend all-in-one tablets with integrated salt and rinse aid.

How to maintain my Cecotec dishwasher?

Regularly clean the filter, spray arms, and door seal. Use a dishwasher cleaner once a month. Leave the door slightly open after each cycle to prevent odors. Descale periodically with white vinegar or a descaling product.

ENGLISH

B. Loading salt into the water softener

Water hardness varies from location to location. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on dishes and utensils. The appliance is equipped with a special water softener that uses salts specifically designed to remove lime and minerals from the water.

Always use salt intended for dishwasher use. The salt compartment is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as follows:

Instruction manual

Fig. 4.

A. Remove the lower basket, then unscrew and remove the salt compartment cap.
B. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce approximately 500 g of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt compartment.
C. For first-time filling, completely fill the compartment with water (approximately 700 ml).
D. Carefully screw the cap back on.
E. Typically, the salt warning light will switch off after the salt compartment has been filled.

Warning!

• Only use salt specifically designed for dishwasher use. Any other type of salt, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damage caused by the use of unsuitable salt, Cecotec offers no warranty nor accepts responsibility for any damage caused.
• Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salt water that may have been spilled from remaining on the machine's bottom for any extended period, which could cause corrosion.

NOTE:

• The salt tank must be refilled when the salt warning light illuminates on the control panel. Even when the tank is filled, the indicator light may remain lit until the salt has fully dissolved.
• For models without a salt warning light on the control panel, you can estimate when to refill the water softener salt based on the number of completed washing cycles.
• Take care not to overfill the salt tank and ensure any spillage is cleaned up.

C. Detergent usage

All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the corresponding compartment. Add the correct amount of detergent for the selected cycle to ensure optimal performance.

Only use detergents specifically designed for dishwashers. Keep detergent fresh and dry.

Do not put powder detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.

⚠️ Never use soap, laundry detergent or hand washing-up liquid in your dishwasher.
Do not ingest dishwasher detergent. Avoid inhaling the vapours. Dishwasher detergent contains irritants and caustic chemicals that can cause respiratory problems. If dishwasher detergent has been ingested or vapours inhaled, seek medical attention immediately.
⚠️ Keep dishwasher detergent out of children’s reach.

Filling the detergent dispenser

Fig. 5

1. Open the detergent compartment by pressing the button.
2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main wash compartment. The main compartment has lines for measuring specific amounts of detergent, marked at 15 ml or 25 ml, according to dish soil level. If your dishes require intensive washing, add 5 ml of detergent to the pre-wash section of the compartment.
3. Close the detergent compartment by sliding the lid in the direction of the arrow.

NOTE:

Please follow the manufacturer's recommendations on the detergent packaging.

D. Rinse aid usage

Fig. 6

Filling the rinse aid dispenser helps ensure better washing quality and improved drying performance.

• To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the compartment lid.
• Fill the compartment with rinse aid to the MAX level, then close the lid. Take care not to overfill the compartment and ensure any spillage is wiped clean.
• Close the lid to lock the rinse aid compartment.
• Rinse aid is automatically added during the final rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing and streak-free drying.

Warning!

Use only branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g., dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This could damage the tool.

To change the rinse aid level, follow these steps before switching on the machine:

1. Touch the power touch icon to activate the dishwasher.
2. Within 60 seconds after switching on the appliance, touch the Timer touch icon for 5 seconds while the machine is in standby mode to enter setting mode. All wash cycle lights will flash three times, then change to the default rinse aid level. The factory setting is R3.

ENGLISH

1. To adjust the rinse aid level, press the Timer touch icon, and with each press, the level will change in the sequence:

Loading the dishwasher baskets

To achieve the best performance from your dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.

Warning!

Items not suitable for dishwasher cleaning:

1. Temperature-sensitive plastic items, copper and tin-coated items, aluminium and silver cutlery.
2. Delicate glassware, hand-painted decorative porcelain; items with crystal elements, etc.
3. Items with absorbent properties (sponges, household cloths).

Caution before or after loading the dishwasher baskets

• Remove any large food remnants.
• It is not necessary to rinse dishes under running water.
• For dishes or utensils with baked-on, burnt-on or stubborn food particles that are difficult to remove, soaking before washing is recommended.

• Place items in the dishwasher in the following order:

• Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. should be placed upside down.

• Curved items or those with recesses should be loaded at an angle so water can drain.

• All items must be stacked securely and cannot tip over.

• They must not prevent the spray arms from rotating during washing.

• Place cutlery, chopsticks and small items in the cutlery basket. Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall from the baskets.

Removing dishes

To prevent water from dripping from the upper rack to the lower rack, we recommend emptying the lower rack first, then the upper rack.

Loading the upper basket

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter tableware such as glasses, coffee and teacups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too soiled). Position dishes and cookware so they do not move under the water spray. Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down.

Adjusting the upper basket

• If needed, the height of the upper basket can be adjusted to create more space for large utensils in either the upper or lower basket.
• The upper basket can be height-adjusted by placing wheels of different heights on the rails. Fig. 8
• Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers or knives should be placed on the shelf, so they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms. The shelf can be folded or removed when not required.

CAUTION:

We recommend adjusting the basket height before loading dishes. Adjusting the basket after loading dishes could damage them.

Lower rack

Loading the lower basket

- We recommend placing larger items which are more difficult to clean in the lower basket: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in figure 9.

ENGLISH

• It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids at the sides of the racks to avoid blocking the rotation of the upper spray arm. Pots, serving bowls, etc., must always be placed upside down. Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
• The lower basket features fold-down tine rows to accommodate more large pots and pans.

Programmes

Starting a washing programme

1. Pull out both the upper and lower racks, load the dishes and push them back in. It is recommended to load the lower rack first, then the upper rack.
2. Pour in the detergent.
3. Ensure the water supply is fully turned on, press the Power icon, then the Programme icon to select your desired washing programme.
4. Press the Start/Pause icon to begin the programme, close the door applying gentle pressure to ensure it is properly sealed.

NOTE: You will hear a click when the door is correctly closed.

Changing the programme

1. Notice: A cycle in progress can only be modified if it has been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been released and the appliance may have already drained the washing water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled.
2. During the washing process, press the Power touch icon to switch off the appliance.
3. Press the Power touch icon again to switch on the appliance, then you can change the programme to the desired cycle.

NOTE: If you open the door during washing, the machine will pause, and the status light will flash. When you close the door, the machine will resume operation after 10 seconds.

The indicator light shows the dishwasher status:

a) Programme light steady --> Cycle running
b) Programme light flashing --> Pause

NOTE: If all lights begin to flash, this indicates the machine is out of order. Please turn off the main power and water supply before calling for service.

Forgetting to add a dish

A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent dispenser opens.

1. Press the Start/Pause touch icon to stop the washing.
2. After the spray arms stop working, you can open the door completely.
3. Add the forgotten dishes.
4. Close the door; the dishwasher will start running after ten seconds.

WARNING!

It is dangerous to open the door during washing, as hot water may scald you. If the door is opened whilst the dishwasher is operating, the machine will stop automatically.

End of washing programme

After the programme has finished, the buzzer will sound three short beeps, sounding like "beep, beep, beep". At the same time, the indicator light will remain on for 3 minutes and automatically turn off if no further operation is performed, also switching off the machine.

Open the door carefully. Hot steam may escape when opening the door!

• Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. Therefore, they should be allowed to cool for about 15 minutes before removing from the appliance.
• Open the dishwasher door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes. This way, they will be cooler and drying will improve.

Unloading the dishwasher

It is normal for the dishwasher interior to be damp. Empty the lower basket first, then the upper basket. This will prevent water from dripping from the upper basket onto dishes in the lower one.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before beginning any care or maintenance, you must always disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply and also close the water supply.

ENGLISH

Filtration system

Fig. 10

The filtration system consists of a coarse filter, flat filter and microfilter.

1. Flat filter: Food and debris will be trapped by a special jet on the lower spray arm.
2. Coarse filter: Large debris, such as bone or glass that could clog the drain, will be trapped in this filter. To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the tabs on top of the filter and lift it out.
3. Microfilter: This filter holds soil and food waste in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposited on dishes during a cycle.

Check the filters for blockages every time the dishwasher is used.

By unscrewing the coarse filter, you can remove the filtration system. Remove any food is and clean the filters under running water.

• The filter effectively prevents food residue from the dishes from falling into the washing system. However, food residue can sometimes clog the filter, affecting washing performance. It is recommended to check the flat filter for food residue immediately after finishing the washing programme and clean it if necessary.

• Additionally, it is advisable to disassemble and clean the filter at least once a week. The steps for cleaning the filter are shown in figure 11:

• Remove the coarse filter from the microfilter.

• Turn the microfilter counterclockwise.

• Remove the microfilter and flat filter assembly from the dishwasher compartment.

• Clean the filters under running water.

Note: You must clean and rinse the filters thoroughly before replacing all sections in the reverse order to that mentioned above.

To be considered:

• A programme should not be run without the filters in place.
• Incorrect filter placement can reduce washing performance and damage the appliance.
• When cleaning the filters, they should not be knocked. Otherwise, they could become deformed and dishwasher performance could decrease.

Cleaning the spray arms

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly, as hard water minerals can clog the jets and bearings.

To clean the spray arms, follow these steps shown in figure 12:

1. Pull the lower spray arm upwards to remove it.

2. To remove the upper spray arm, first remove the lock by turning it.

3. The spray arms must be cleaned and rinsed thoroughly before replacing them.

Note: Ensure the upper spray arm lock is properly tightened when reinstalling.

Dishwasher care

To clean the control panel, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.

To clean the exterior, use a specific appliance cleaner.

Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Cleaning the door

To clean around the door, use only a soft, warm, damp cloth.

To prevent water penetration into the door lock and electrical components, do not use spray cleaners of any kind. Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on outer surfaces as they will scratch the finish. Some paper towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

WARNING! Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel, as this may damage the door latch and electrical components. The use of abrasive agents or paper towels is not permitted due to the risk of scratching or leaving marks on the stainless steel surface.

Frost protection

If the dishwasher is left in an unheated location during winter, ask a service technician to:

• Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
• Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
• Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a tray to collect the water)
• Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
• Remove the filters and use a sponge to remove water in the sump.

How to maintain your dishwasher

After every wash

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

Unplug it

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always unplug the appliance. Do not take risks.

Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Use only a cloth with warm soapy water. To remove spots from the interior surface, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product specifically made for dishwashers.

ENGLISH

When going on holiday

When going on holiday, it is recommended to run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then unplug it, turn off the water supply and leave the appliance's door slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odours from forming in the appliance.

Moving the appliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in a vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Gaskets

One of the factors that cause odours in the dishwasher is food trapped in the seals. Regular cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this.
