WARNING!

  1. Under certain conditions hydrogen is generated in a hot-water system, which has not been used within a fortnight or longer. Hydrogen is explosive. If you have not operated the hot-water system within such a period of time, open all hot-water taps and let the water flow for several minutes to release the hydrogen. During this period do not smoke and do not use any open flames or naked light, because hydrogen is flammable.
  2. While unpacking, the packaging materials (polythene bags, polystyrene pieces, etc.) should be kept away from children. CHOKING HAZARD.
  3. Do not connect the appliance to the electric supply unless all packaging and transit protectors have been removed.
  4. Operate the appliance with 220 240V / 50Hz AC only. All connections and energy-leading components must be replaced by an authorized professional. Any repairs should be carried out by an authorized aftersales service
  5. Do not use a socket board or a multi socket when connecting the appliance to the mains.
  6. A dedicated and properly grounded socket (250V/10A) meeting the data of the plug is required to minimize any kind of hazard.
  7. Check that the power cord is not placed under the appliance or damaged when moving the appliance.
  8. The technical data of your energy supplier must meet the data on the model plate of the appliance.

7. Water outlet hose installation

Wolkenstein WDW147FI TD - Water outlet hose installation - 1

Fit the drainage hose of your appliance to the drainage pipe without bending. If the length of the hose is not sufficient, apply to your authorized service for an extension made from the same material as the original hose. Remember that the length of the hose (including extension) should not exceed 4 meters.

If the drainage hose is longer the 4m the dishes will not be cleaned properly. Check that the connection does not leak. Fix the outlet hose with a hose-holder.

8. Raised level installation

Partially and fully integrated appliances can be installed at a raised level when connected properly. A collar enables the bending of the drain hose. There is a holding device on the collar to fix the collar. The drain hose must have a height of min. 40 cm at the top of the collar. Look at the drawing below for the connection options A, B and C.

A. Water softener

You must fill in the water-softener manually; please use the water-softener filler hole. Open the lid and pour approx. 2kg of water-softener into the container; then close the lid properly.

Wolkenstein WDW147FI TD - Water softener - 1

B. Filling of the water softener container

The water softener container is beneath the lower dish rack.

  • Only use a water softener (= dishwasher salt) which is suitable for dishwashers. Other water softeners and salts, especially table salt, will damage the water softener container.
    The manufacturer shall not guarantee against and is not liable for any damage caused by an unsuitable water softener.
    Fill the container only shortly before you start a programme, otherwise spilled residuals of the water softener may remain in the appliance and cause corrosion.
    The control light on the control panel goes off after the first programme.

D. Dishwasher detergent

Dishwasher detergents are divided into 2 groups due to their chemical composition:

conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.

"Normal" programmes combined with concentrated detergents prevent pollution and are also good for your dishes. Such programmes support the washing effect of the enzymes. Therefore, "normal" programmes combined with concentrated detergents are as effective as "intensive" programmes.

There are 3 kinds of dishwasher detergents:

  1. with phosphate and chlorine.
  2. with phosphate / without chlorine
  3. without phosphate / without chlorine

Most recent powdered dishwasher detergents usually do not contain any phosphate so they do not soften the water. In such a case add a water softener (= dishwasher salt) even if the hardness of water is c.g. 6dH. Otherwise white spots may occur on your dishes and glasses.

Dishwasher detergents without chlorine only bleach slightly, so they do not remove tough stains. In such a case select a programme with a higher temperature.

Dishwasher tabs

Dishwasher tabs of different manufacturers may need different periods of time for washing your dishes. So some kinds of tabs cannot be used when operating a short programme. Always select long lasting programmes to clean your dishes completely.

The detergent container

You must fill the container matching the information of the programme schedule.
Use detergents which are suitable for dishwashers only.
Always keep your detergent dry.
Fill the container just before starting a programme.
The detergent and rinse aid consumption of your appliance is lower than the consumption of conventional appliances. In general you need 1 tablespoon of detergent for a normal programme.
You must increase the amount of detergent if your dishes are heavily soiled.

Filling of the container

Wolkenstein WDW147FI TD - Filling of the container - 1

Wolkenstein WDW147FI TD - Filling of the container - 2

  1. When the lid is closed, press the open-button.
  2. Fill the container just before starting a programme. Use detergents which are suitable for dishwashers only.

Pour the detergent in the container. The marks indicate the dose levels (look at figure below). If your dishes are heavily soiled, pour an additive dose of detergent in the pre-wash section.

Wolkenstein WDW147FI TD - Filling of the container - 3

  1. Detergent main-wash. MIN equal to approx. 20g
  2. Detergent pre-wash; equal to approx. 5g

Note the manufacturer's dosage instructions on the packaging of your dishwasher detergent.

Close the lid and press until it locks.

5. Dish racks

Observe the instructions given in this chapter to reach the best performance of your appliance. The features and design of the racks depend on model.

Wolkenstein WDW147FI TD - Dish racks - 1

Before and after filling the racks

  1. Remove residuals of food from the dishes.
  2. You do not need to rinse the dishes under flowing water.
  3. Fill the racks as follows:

a. Objects such as cups, glasses, pots and pans upside down.
b. Curved objects and objects with recesses in a slanted position, so the water can drain off.
c. Arrange the dishes safely and tightly in the rack so they cannot tip over.
d. The dishes must not block the rotating spray arms.
e. Do not put very small objects in the appliance as they may easily drop out of the racks.

  1. After washing empty the lower rack first; so remaining water cannot drop from the upper rack into the lower one.

Wolkenstein WDW147FI TD - Before and after filling the racks - 1

Adjusting of the upper rack

You can adjust the position of the upper dish rack to provide more room for large objects either in the lower or the upper rack. You adjust the upper rack by placing the relevant wheel-set in the rail. Put long items on the shelf so they will not impede the rotating spray arms. You can fold back the shelf if need be.
