Frequently Asked Questions - SMV69U80EU BOSCH

How to adjust the water softener?

Open the door, turn on the appliance, press and hold program button A and press START until H:O... appears. Release, then press C to change the value (H:00 to H:07). Confirm with START. Consult the water hardness table to choose the correct setting.

Why are my dishes not dry?

Possible causes: lack of rinse aid, program without drying, poor loading (water pockets), ineffective multi-detergent. Add rinse aid, activate intensive drying (d:01) or wait 30 minutes after the program ends.

What to do if the 'Check water supply' light comes on?

Check that the water tap is open and the hose is not kinked. Clean the water intake filter: unplug the appliance, close the tap, unscrew the connection, remove and clean the filter, then reassemble.

How to clean the filters?

Unscrew the filter cylinder and remove the filter system. Clean them under running water to remove residue. Reassemble, ensuring the arrows align after closing.

Can I use all-in-one tablets?

Yes, combined detergents (3in1, 4in1, etc.) are suitable for water hardness up to 21°dH. Above that, add salt and rinse aid separately. Tablets work best in long programs.

How to activate the delayed start?

Turn on the appliance, press the delay start button (+/-) until the desired time (max 24h). Press START to activate. To cancel, set to 00.

Water softening system/Special salt

To ensure good washing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing low amounts of lime, otherwise white limescale will be deposited on the utensils and inner container.

Tap water above 1.2 mmol/l must be softened. The water is softened with special salt (regeneration salt) in the water softening system of the dishwasher.

The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see table).

Setting

The amount of salt dispensed can be set from H:00 to H:07.

Salt is not required at the set value H:00.

1. Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water utility company will help you with this.
2. Set value can be found in the water hardness table.
3. Open the door.
4. Switch on ON/OFF switch 1.
5. Hold down programme button A and press START button 10 until H:0.... is indicated on the digital display.
6. Release both buttons. The LED for button A flashes and the digital display 3 displays the factory setting H:04.

To change the setting:

1. Press programme button C. Each time the button is pressed, the set value increases by one level; when the value H:07 has been reached, the display jumps back to H:00 (off).
2. Press START button 10. The chosen setting has now been stored.
3. Close the door.

Water hardness table

Using special salt

Always refill with special salt immediately before switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun special salt solution is immediately washed out and does not corrode the rinsing tank.

1. Open the screw-type cap of the compartment [28].
2. Fill the tank with water (only required when switching on the appliance for the first time).
3. Then add dishwasher salt (not table salt or tablets).

The water is displaced and runs out. As soon as the salt refill indicator 5 on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.

* depending on model

Using detergents with salt component

If combined detergents with a salt component are used, salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21° dH ( 37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). If the water hardness is over 21° dH, special salt must be used.

Switching off salt refill indicator/ water softening system

If the salt refill indicator 5 is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing salt component), it can be switched off.

■ Proceed as described under "Adjusting the water softening system" and set the value to H:00. The water softening system and salt refill indicator are now switched off.

Caution

Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. You will destroy the water softening system.

Rinse aid

As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator 6 is lit on the fascia, there is still a rinse-aid reserve of 1-2 rinsing processes. Refill with rinse aid.

The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers.

Combined detergents with rinse-aid component may be used up to a water hardness of 21° dH ( 37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness is over 21° dH, rinse aid must be used.

en Rinse aid

1. Open the dispenser 31 by pressing and lifting the plate on the cover.

1. Carefully pour rinse aid up to the max. mark in the filler opening.

1. Close cover until it clicks shut.
2. To prevent excessive foam formation during the next rinse cycle, remove any rinse aid which has run over with a cloth.

Setting amount of rinse aid

The amount of rinse aid can be set from r:00 to r:05. Please set rinse aid on r:05 to obtain very good drying results (r:05 is already set in factory).

Change this setting only if streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) are left on the utensils.

1. Open the door.
2. Switch on ON/OFF switch 1.
3. Hold down programme button A and press START button 10 until H:0.... is indicated on the digital display.
4. Release both buttons.

The LED for button A flashes and the digital display 3 displays the factory setting H:04.

1. Press programme button A until the factory set value r:05 is indicated on the digital display 3.

To change the setting:

1. Press programme button C. Each time the button is pressed, the set value increases by one level; when the value of r:06 has been reached, the display jumps back to r:00 (off).
2. Press START button [10]. The set value is saved.
3. Close the door.

Switching off rinse aid refill indicator

If the rinse-aid refill indicator 6 is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing rinse aid component), it can be switched off.

■ Proceed as described under "Setting amount of rinse aid" and set the value to r:00.

The rinse aid refill indicator 6 is now switched off.

Utensils

Not suitable

■ Cutlery and utensils made of wood. ■ Delicate decorative glasses, craft and antique utensils. These decors are not dishwasher-proof. ■ Plastic parts not resistant to heat. ■ Copper and tin utensils. ■ Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.

Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour and fade during the wash cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy after many wash cycles.

Glass and utensil damage

Causes:

■ Glass type and glass production process. ■ Chemical composition of the detergent. ■ Water temperature of the wash programme.

Recommendation:

■ Use only glasses and porcelain which the manufacturer designates as dishwasher-proof. ■ Use a detergent which protects utensils. ■ Take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme ends.

Loading the dishwasher

1. Remove large food remnants. It is not necessary to prerinse utensils under running water.
2. Place the utensils so that
3. they are secure over.
4. all utensils face down.
5. parts with curves are at an angle, thereby allowing water to drain.
6. does not obstruct the two spray arms 23 and 27.

Very small utensils should not be washed in the machine, as they may fall out of the baskets.

Unloading the dishwasher

To prevent water from dripping off the upper basket onto the utensils in the lower basket, it is recommended to empty the appliance from the bottom up.

Hot utensils are sensitive to shock! Therefore, when the programme ends, leave the utensils to cool down in the dishwasher until they can be handled.

Note

When the programme ends, water droplets can still be seen inside the appliance. This does not affect the drying of the utensils.

Cups and glasses

Top basket 22

Note

Utensils must not be placed above the tablet collecting tray 24. These may block the lid of the detergent dispenser and prevent it from opening fully.

Pans

Bottom basket 30

Tip

Heavily soiled utensils (pans) should be placed in the bottom basket. The more powerful spray jet provides a better dishwashing result.

Tip

Other examples, such as the best way of loading your dishwasher, can be found on our homepage as a free download. The corresponding Internet address can be found on the back page of these instructions for use.

Cutlery drawer

Arrange the cutlery in the cutlery drawer 21 as illustrated. Separately arranged utensils are easier to remove after washing.

The drawer can be taken out.

Depending on the model, you can fold down the side shelves to provide more room for taller items of cutlery. The front rows of prongs can be folded down to provide room for wider handles.

Folding spikes *

* depending on model

The spikes can be folded down to improve arrangement of pans, bowls and glasses.

Small accessories holder *

* depending on model

Light-weight plastic accessories, e.g. cups, lids, etc. can be held securely in the small accessories holder.

Adjusting the height of the basket

The height of the upper utensils basket 22 can be adjusted in 3 stages to create more space either in the upper or lower basket.

Appliance height 81.5 cm

	Top basket	Bottombasket
Setting 1 max. ø 16 cm	30 cm
Setting 2 max. ø 18.5 cm	27.5 cm
Setting 3 max. ø 21 cm	25 cm

Appliance height 86.5 cm

	Top basket	Bottombasket
Setting 1 max. ø 18 cm	33 cm
Setting 2 max. ø 20.5 cm	30.5 cm
Setting 3 max. ø 23 cm	28 cm

1. Pull out the top basket 22 out.
2. To lower the basket, press in the left and then the right lever on the outside of the basket. In doing so, hold the sides of the basket along the upper edge to prevent it from suddenly dropping.

1. To raise the basket, hold the basket on the sides of the upper edge and lift it up.
2. Before re-inserting the basket again, ensure that it is at the same height on both sides. Otherwise, the appliance door cannot be closed and the upper spray arm will not be connected to the water circuit.

Detergent

You can use tablets as well as powder or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing up liquid. The dosage can be individually adjusted with powder or a liquid detergent according to the degree of soiling. Tablets contain an adequately large amount of active ingredients for all cleaning tasks. Modern, powerful detergents predominantly use a low-alkaline formulation with phosphate and enzymes. Phosphates bond the lime in the water. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein. Phosphate-free detergents are less frequent. These have a slightly weaker lime bonding capacity and require a higher dosage. To remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, tomato sauce), oxygen-based bleaching agents are usually used.

Note

To ensure a good washing result, always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging! If you have further questions, we recommend that you contact the detergent manufacturers' helpline.

⚠ Warning – Read and observe the safety information and instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning and rinsing agents.

Adding detergent

1. If the detergent dispenser 32 is still closed, press the lock 33 to open the detergent dispenser.

Pour detergent into the dry detergent dispenser 32 only (insert tablet flat, not on its edge).

Dosage: see manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

The graduated detergent dispenser 32 helps you add the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent.

Usually 20 ml–25 ml are adequate for normal soiling. If using tablets, one tablet is adequate.

1. Close the cover on the detergent dispenser by sliding it up until the lock engages without difficulty.

The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the optimum time depending on the programme. The powder or liquid detergent is distributed in the appliance and is dissolved, the tablet falls into the tablet collecting tray where it dissolves in doses.

Tip

If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate.

Suitable detergents and care products can be purchased online via our website or via customer service (see back page).

Combination detergent

Apart from conventional detergents (Solo), a number of products are offered with additional functions. These products contain not only the detergent but also rinse-aid and salt replacement substances (3in1) and, depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.), additional components such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner. Combination detergents function only up to a specific degree of hardness (usually 21°dH). Over this limit salt and rinse-aid must be added.

As soon as combined detergents are used, the rinse programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible rinsing and drying result.

⚠ Warning – Do not place small parts for washing in the tablet collecting tray 24; this prevents the tablet from dissolving evenly.

⚠ Warning – If you want to add more utensils after the programme has started, do not use the tablet collecting tray 24 as a handle for the upper basket. The tablet could already be there and you will touch the partially dissolved tablet.

en Detergent

Notes

■ You will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results by using solo detergents and applying salt and rinse aid separately.

If programmes are short, tablets may not have full cleaning effect due to different dissolving properties and there may even be undissolved detergent residue. It is recommended to use washing powder for these programmes.

- The Intensive programme (on some models) requires one tab only. When using washing powder, you can apply some of this cleaning agent to the inside of the appliance’s door.

■ Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit, the rinse programme will run correctly with combined detergents.

If using detergents in a water-soluble protective cover: Take hold of the cover with dry hands only and put the detergent into an absolutely dry detergent dispenser only, otherwise the detergent may stick.

If you switch from combined detergents to solo detergents, ensure that the water softening system and amount of rinse aid have been set to the correct value.

Information for test institutes

Test institutes receive the information for comparability tests (e.g. according to EN60436).

These are the conditions for conducting the tests, however these are not the results or consumption values.

Request by e-mail to:

[e-mail]

The product number (E no.) and the production number (FD) are required which you can find on the rating plate [34] on the appliance door.

Additional options

* depending on model

Additional options can be set with the buttons 9.

Express WashPlus/Speed PerfectPlus (rioSpeedPlus) *

This function can reduce the running time by approx. 20% to 66% depending on the selected rinse programme. To obtain optimum cleaning and drying results at a reduced running time, water and energy consumption are increased.

Half load *

If you have only a few items to wash (e.g. glasses, cups, plates), you can switch to "half load". This will save water, energy and time. It is recommended to put a little less detergent in the detergent dispenser than for a full load.

HygienePlus *

This function increases the temperatures and retains them for an extra long time to obtain a defined disinfection performance. Continuous use of this function increases the hygiene status. This additional option is ideal for cleaning e.g. chopping boards and baby bottles.

Intensive zone *

Perfect for a mixed load. You can wash very soiled pots and pans in the lower basket together with normally soiled utensils in the upper basket. The spray pressure in the lower basket is intensified, the rinsing temperature is increased slightly.

High gloss drying *

By increasing the amount of water during the rinse cycle and extending the drying phase, stains are prevented and the drying result is improved. There is a slight increase in the energy consumption. Rinse aid is recommended for the high gloss drying function (even when using combination detergents).

Energy Save *

Water and energy consumption can be reduced with the “Energy Save” function. The running time is extended for optimum cleaning and drying results.

Operating the appliance

Programme data

The programme data (consumption values) can be found in the summary of instructions. They refer to normal conditions and the water hardness set value H:04. Different influencing factors such as e.g. water temperature or line pressure may result in deviations.

Aqua sensor *

* depending on model

The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water.

The Aqua sensor is used according to the programme. If the Aqua sensor is active, “clean” rinsing water can be transferred to the next rinse bath and water consumption can be reduced by 3–6 litres. If the turbidity is greater, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In the automatic programmes the temperature and running time can also be adjusted to the degree of soiling.

Zeolith drying

The appliance features a Zeolith container. Zeolith is a mineral which can store moisture and heat energy and release them again.

During the washing step this heat energy is used to dry the mineral and heat up the rinsing water.

During the drying phase moisture from the washing compartment is stored in the mineral and heat energy is released. This released heat energy is blown into the washing compartment with dry air. This accelerates and improves drying.

These processes therefore save a great deal of energy.

Caution

Please ensure that the intake opening 25 is not obstructed and do not place any temperature-sensitive utensils in the lower basket at the rear right side above the blow opening 26.

⚠ Warning – Risk of injury!

Do not touch the blow opening [26]. The blow opening becomes hot and, furthermore, any damage will result in a chargeable callout by customer service.

en

Cleaning and maintenance

■ To ensure that the door seal always remains clean and hygienic, regularly clean it with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid. If the appliance is switched off for a prolonged period, leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of an unpleasant odour.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage.

Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and fascia with a damp cloth; water and a little washing up liquid are adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces.

Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths or wash them out thoroughly several times before using for the first time.

Warning – Health hazard

Never use other domestic detergents, e.g. containing chlorine!

Special salt and rinse aid

- Check the refill indicators 5 and 6. If required, refill salt and/or rinse aid.

Filters

The filters 29 keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. These foreign objects may occasionally block the filters.

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

1. After each washing cycle check the filters for residue.
2. Unscrew filter cylinder as illustrated and take out filter system.

1. Remove any residue and clean filters under running water.
2. Re-install filter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow marks are opposite each other after closing the filter system.

Water softening system/Special salt

To ensure good washing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing low amounts of lime, otherwise white limescale will be deposited on the utensils and inner container.

Tap water above 1.2 mmol/l must be softened. The water is softened with special salt (regeneration salt) in the water softening system of the dishwasher.

The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see table).

Setting

The amount of salt dispensed can be set from H:00 to H:07.

Salt is not required at the set value H:00.

1. Find out about the hardness value of your tap water. Your water utility company will help you with this.
2. Set value can be found in the water hardness table.
3. Open the door.
4. Switch on ON/OFF switch 1.
5. Hold down programme button A and press START button 10 until H:0.... is indicated on the digital display.
6. Release both buttons. The LED for button A flashes and the digital display 3 displays the factory setting H:04.

To change the setting:

1. Press programme button C. Each time the button is pressed, the set value increases by one level; when the value of H:07 has been reached, the display jumps back to H:00 (off).
2. Press START button 10. The chosen setting has now been stored.
3. Close the door.

Water hardness table

Using special salt

Always refill with special salt immediately before switching on the appliance. This ensures that overrun special salt solution is immediately washed out and does not corrode the rinsing tank.

1. Open the screw-type cap of the compartment [28].
2. Fill the tank with water (only required when switching on the appliance for the first time).
3. Then add dishwasher salt (not table salt or tablets).

The water is displaced and runs out. As soon as the salt refill indicator 5 on the fascia is lit, top up the salt.

* depending on model

Using detergents with salt component

If combined detergents with a salt component are used, salt can usually be omitted up to a water hardness of 21° dH ( 37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). If the water hardness is over 21° dH, special salt must be used.

Switching off salt refill indicator/ water softening system

If the salt refill indicator 5 is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing salt component), it can be switched off.

■ Proceed as described under "Adjusting the water softening system" and set the value to H:00. The water softening system and salt refill indicator are now switched off.

Caution

Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. You will destroy the water softening system.

Rinse aid

As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator 6 is lit on the fascia, there is still a rinse-aid reserve of 1-2 rinsing processes. Refill with rinse aid.

The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers.

Combined detergents with rinse-aid component may be used up to a water hardness of 21° dH ( 37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness is over 21° dH, rinse aid must be used.

en Rinse aid

1. Open the dispenser 31 by pressing and lifting the plate on the cover.

1. Carefully pour rinse aid up to the max. mark in the filler opening.

1. Close cover until it clicks shut.
2. To prevent excessive foam formation during the next rinse cycle, remove any rinse aid which has run over with a cloth.

Setting amount of rinse aid

The amount of rinse aid can be set from r:00 to r:05. Please set rinse aid on r:05 to obtain very good drying results (r:05 is already set in factory).

Change this setting, only if streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) are left on the utensils.

1. Open the door.
2. Switch on ON/OFF switch 1.
3. Hold down programme button A and press START button 10 until H:0.... is indicated on the digital display.
4. Release both buttons.

The LED for button A flashes and the digital display 3 displays the factory setting H:04.

1. Press programme button A until the factory set value r:05 is indicated on the digital display 3.

2. Press START button [10]. The set value is saved.
3. Close the door.

Switching off rinse aid refill indicator

If the rinse-aid refill indicator 6 is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing rinse aid component), it can be switched off.

Proceed as described under "Setting amount of rinse aid" and set the value to r:00.

The rinse aid refill indicator 6 is now switched off.

Utensils

Not suitable

Cutlery and utensils made of wood. Delicate decorative glasses, craft and antique utensils. These decors are not dishwasher-proof. Plastic parts not resistant to heat. Copper and tin utensils. Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.

Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour and fade during the wash cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy after many wash cycles.

Glass and utensil damage

Causes:

■ Glass type and glass production process. ■ Chemical composition of the detergent. ■ Water temperature of the wash programme.

Recommendation:

■ Use only glasses and porcelain which the manufacturer designates as dishwasher-proof. ■ Use a detergent which protects utensils. ■ Take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme ends.

Loading the dishwasher

1. Remove large food remnants. It is not necessary to prerinse utensils under running water.
2. Place the utensils so that
3. they are secure over.
4. all utensils face down.
5. parts with curves are at an angle, thereby allowing water to drain.
6. does not obstruct the two spray arms 23 and 27.

Very small utensils should not be washed in the machine, as they may fall out of the baskets.

Unloading the dishwasher

To prevent water from dripping off the upper basket onto the utensils in the lower basket, it is recommended to empty the appliance from the bottom up.

Hot utensils are sensitive to shock! Therefore, when the programme ends, leave the utensils to cool down in the dishwasher until they can be handled.

Note

When the programme ends, water droplets can still be seen inside the appliance. This does not affect the drying of the utensils.

Cups and glasses

Top basket 22

Note

Utensils must not be placed above the tablet collecting tray 24. These may block the lid of the detergent dispenser and prevent it from opening fully.

Pans

Bottom basket 30

Tip

Heavily soiled utensils (pans) should be placed in the bottom basket. The more powerful spray jet provides a better dishwashing result.

Tip

Other examples, such as the best way of loading your dishwasher, can be found on our homepage as a free download. The corresponding Internet address can be found on the back page of these instructions for use.

Cutlery drawer

Arrange the cutlery in the cutlery drawer 21 as illustrated. Separately arranged utensils are easier to remove after washing.

The drawer can be taken out.

Depending on the model, you can fold down the side shelves to provide more room for taller items of cutlery. The front rows of prongs can be folded down to provide room for wider handles.

Folding spikes *

* depending on model

The spikes can be folded down to improve arrangement of pans, bowls and glasses.

Small accessories holder *

* depending on model

Light-weight plastic accessories, e.g. cups, lids, etc. can be held securely in the small accessories holder.

Adjusting the height of the basket

The height of the upper utensils basket 22 can be adjusted in 3 stages to create more space either in the upper or lower basket.

Appliance height 81.5 cm

	Top basket	Bottombasket
Setting 1 max. ø 16 cm	30 cm
Setting 2 max. ø 18.5 cm	27.5 cm
Setting 3 max. ø 21 cm	25 cm

Appliance height 86.5 cm

	Top basket	Bottombasket
Setting 1 max. ø 18 cm	33 cm
Setting 2 max. ø 20.5 cm	30.5 cm
Setting 3 max. ø 23 cm	28 cm

1. Pull out the top basket 22 out.
2. To lower the basket, press in the left and then the right lever on the outside of the basket. In doing so, hold the sides of the basket along the upper edge to prevent it from suddenly dropping.

1. To raise the basket, hold the basket on the sides of the upper edge and lift it up.
2. Before re-inserting the basket again, ensure that it is at the same height on both sides. Otherwise, the appliance door cannot be closed and the upper spray arm will not be connected to the water circuit.

Detergent

You can use tablets as well as powder or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing up liquid. The dosage can be individually adjusted with powder or a liquid detergent according to the degree of soiling. Tablets contain an adequately large amount of active ingredients for all cleaning tasks. Modern, powerful detergents predominantly use a low-alkaline formulation with phosphate and enzymes. Phosphates bond the lime in the water. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein. Phosphate-free detergents are less frequent. These have a slightly weaker lime bonding capacity and require a higher dosage. To remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, tomato sauce), oxygen-based bleaching agents are usually used.

Note

To ensure a good washing result, always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging! If you have further questions, we recommend that you contact the detergent manufacturers' helpline.

⚠ Warning – Read and observe the safety information and instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning and rinsing agents.

Adding detergent

1. If the detergent dispenser 32 is still closed, press the lock 33 to open the detergent dispenser.

Pour detergent into the dry detergent dispenser 32 only (insert tablet flat, not on its edge).

Dosage: see manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.

The graduated detergent dispenser 32 helps you add the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent.

Usually 20 ml–25 ml are adequate for normal soiling. If using tablets, one tablet is adequate.

1. Close the cover on the detergent dispenser by sliding it up until the lock engages without difficulty.

The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the optimum time depending on the programme. The powder or liquid detergent is distributed in the appliance and is dissolved, the tablet falls into the tablet collecting tray where it dissolves in doses.

Tip

If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate.

Suitable detergents and care products can be purchased online via our website or via customer service (see back page).

Combination detergent

Apart from conventional detergents (Solo), a number of products are offered with additional functions. These products contain not only the detergent but also rinse-aid and salt replacement substances (3in1) and, depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.), additional components such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner. Combination detergents function only up to a specific degree of hardness (usually 21°dH). Over this limit salt and rinse-aid must be added.

As soon as combined detergents are used, the rinse programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible rinsing and drying result.

⚠ Warning – Do not place small parts for washing in the tablet collecting tray 24; this prevents the tablet from dissolving evenly.

⚠ Warning – If you want to add more utensils after the programme has started, do not use the tablet collecting tray 24 as a handle for the upper basket. The tablet could already be there and you will touch the partially dissolved tablet.

Detergent

Notes

■ You will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results by using solo detergents and applying salt and rinse aid separately.

If programmes are short, tablets may not have full cleaning effect due to different dissolving properties and there may even be undissolved detergent residue. It is recommended to use washing powder for these programmes.

- The Intensive programme (on some models) requires one tab only. When using washing powder, you can apply some of this cleaning agent to the inside of the appliance's door.

Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit, the rinse programme will run correctly with combined detergents.

If using detergents in a water-soluble protective cover: Take hold of the cover with dry hands only and put the detergent into an absolutely dry detergent dispenser only, otherwise the detergent may stick.

If you switch from combined detergents to solo detergents, ensure that the water softening system and amount of rinse aid have been set to the correct value.

Programme selection

You can select a suitable programme according to the type of utensils and degree of soiling.

Information for test institutes

Test institutes receive the information for comparability tests (e.g. according to EN60436).

These are the conditions for conducting the tests, however these are not the results or consumption values.

Request by e-mail to:

[e-mail]

The product number (E no.) and the production number (FD) are required which you can find on the rating plate [34] on the appliance door.

Additional options

* depending on model

Additional options can be set with the buttons 9.

Express WashPlus/Speed PerfectPlus (rioSpeedPlus) *

This function can reduce the running time by approx. 20% to 66% depending on the selected rinse programme. To obtain optimum cleaning and drying results at a reduced running time, water and energy consumption are increased.

Half load *

If you have only a few items to wash (e.g. glasses, cups, plates), you can switch to “half load”. This will save water, energy and time. It is recommended to put a little less detergent in the detergent dispenser than for a full load.

HygienePlus *

This function increases the temperatures and retains them for an extra long time to obtain a defined disinfection performance. Continuous use of this function increases the hygiene status. This additional option is ideal for cleaning e.g. chopping boards and baby bottles.

Intensive zone *

Perfect for a mixed load. You can wash very soiled pots and pans in the lower basket together with normally soiled utensils in the upper basket. The spray pressure in the lower basket is intensified, the rinsing temperature is increased slightly.

High gloss drying *

By increasing the amount of water during the rinse cycle and extending the drying phase, stains are prevented and the drying result is improved. There is a slight increase in the energy consumption. Rinse aid is recommended for the high gloss drying function (even when using combination detergents).

Energy Save *

Water and energy consumption can be reduced with the “Energy Save” function. The running time is extended for optimum cleaning and drying results.

Operating the appliance

Programme data

The programme data (consumption values) can be found in the summary of instructions. They refer to normal conditions and the water hardness set value H:04. Different influencing factors such as e.g. water temperature or line pressure may result in deviations.

Aqua sensor *

* depending on model

The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water.

The Aqua sensor is used according to the programme. If the Aqua sensor is active, “clean” rinsing water can be transferred to the next rinse bath and water consumption can be reduced by 3–6 litres. If the turbidity is greater, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In the automatic programmes the temperature and running time can also be adjusted to the degree of soiling.

Zeolith drying

The appliance features a Zeolith container. Zeolith is a mineral which can store moisture and heat energy and release them again.

During the washing step this heat energy is used to dry the mineral and heat up the rinsing water.

During the drying phase moisture from the washing compartment is stored in the mineral and heat energy is released. This released heat energy is blown into the washing compartment with dry air. This accelerates and improves drying.

These processes therefore save a great deal of energy.

Caution

Please ensure that the intake opening 25 is not obstructed and do not place any temperature-sensitive utensils in the lower basket at the rear right side above the blow opening 26.

⚠ Warning – Risk of injury!

Do not touch the blow opening [26] . The blow opening becomes hot and, furthermore, any damage will result in a chargeable callout by customer service.

Cleaning and maintenance

A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents problems.

Overall condition of the machine

■ Check spray arm for grease and limescale deposits.

If you find such deposits:

- Fill detergent dispenser with detergent. Start the appliance without utensils in the programme with the highest rinsing temperature.

Clean the appliance with detergents/appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.

Cleaning and maintenance

To ensure that the door seal always remains clean and hygienic, regularly clean it with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid. If the appliance is switched off for a prolonged period, leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of an unpleasant odour.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage.

Regularly wipe the front of the appliance and fascia with a damp cloth; water and a little washing-up liquid are adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces.

Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths or wash them out thoroughly several times before using for the first time.

Warning – Health hazard

Never use other domestic detergents, e.g. containing chlorine!

Special salt and rinse aid

Check the refill indicators 5 and 6. If required, refill salt and/or rinse aid.

Filters

The filters 29 keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. These foreign objects may occasionally block the filters.

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

1. After each washing cycle check the filters for residue.
2. Unscrew filter cylinder as illustrated and take out filter system.

1. Remove any residue and clean filters under running water.
2. Re-install the filter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow marks are opposite each other after closing the filter system.

Spray arms

Limescale and contaminants in the rinsing water may block nozzles and bearings on the spray arms 23 and 27.

1. Check outlet nozzles on the spray arms for blockages.
2. Unscrew the upper spray arm [23].
3. Remove the lower spray arm 27 upwards.

1. Clean spray arms under running water.
2. Re-engage or screw on spray arms.

Fault, what to do?

Experience has shown that you can rectify most faults which occur in daily operation yourself. This ensures that the machine is quickly available to you again. In the following overview you can find possible causes of malfunctions and helpful information for rectifying them.

Note

If the appliance stops during dishwashing or does not start for no obvious reason, first run the Abort programme function (Reset). (See chapter entitled “Operating the appliance”)

Warning – Don't forget: Repairs may be carried out by technicians only. If a component has to be replaced, ensure that only original spare parts are used. Improper repairs or use of non-original parts may cause considerable damage and put the user at considerable risk.

en Fault, what to do?

Waste water pump

Large food remnants or foreign objects which were not captured by the filters may block the waste water pump. The rinsing water will then be above the filter.

Using detergents with a salt component

When using combined detergents with a salt component, you can generally do without special salt up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). For water hardness above 21° dH, the use of special salt is still required.

1. Carefully pour rinse aid up to the max mark on the filler opening.

1. Close the lid until it clicks into place.
2. If necessary, wipe up any spilled rinse aid with a cloth to prevent excessive foaming during the next rinse.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid and shine

The amount of rinse aid and shine added can be adjusted from r:00 to r:06. Set the amount of rinse aid and shine to r:05 to achieve a very good drying result. It is already set to r:05 at the factory.

Change the amount of rinse aid and shine only if there are streaks left on the dishes (set a lower level) or water stains (set a higher level).

1. Open the door.
2. Turn on the ON/OFF switch 1.
3. Keep the program button □A pressed and press the START button □10 until the numeric display shows H:O....
4. Release both buttons. The control light of button □A flashes, and the numeric display □3 shows the factory-set value H:04.
5. Press the program button □ A until the numeric display □ 3 shows the factory-set value r:05.

Instructions

Make sure that parts of the dishes are not above the tablet collecting tray 24. They could block the lid of the detergent compartment 32.

Pots
