MEDION MD 37496 - Water connection - 1

NOTICE!

Damage to the appliance!

If the appliance is connected improperly, there is a risk of damage to the appliance.

■ The hose must be free of kinks and connected carefully.
If the water pipes are new or have not been used for a long time, run the water to ensure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk of the water inlet becoming blocked and the appliance being damaged.

MEDION MD 37496 - Damage to the appliance! - 1

When connecting to the drinking water, ensure that the appliance is connected to a safety device to stop the drinking water becoming contaminated by backflow (in accordance with DIN EN 1717). We recommend hiring a qualified specialist to perform the installation work, including the water and electrical connections, and any repair work.

If the hose supplied does not fit your tap, you can buy adapters from your plumbing supply store.

MEDION MD 37496 - Damage to the appliance! - 2

Connect the water supply hose to the connection for the water supply (13). Screw the hose connection hand tight.
Connect the end of the hose with AquaStop to a cold water tap with a 3/4" thread (see Fig. 5). You can also connect the supply hose to a hot water tap if the water temperature does not exceed 60°C.

This reduces wash time by about 15 minutes.

▶ Screw the hose connection hand tight.

The water hose is designed for a water pressure of approx. 10 bar. We recommend turning off the water supply after use, especially if your house connection does not have a pressure reducer.

■ Make sure that the outlet hose is always introduced into an outlet at a height of 60 cm, as otherwise the pump performance would be impaired.
■ Under no circumstances should the hose end be submerged.
■ Ensure that the inlet and outlet hoses are not kinked or crushed.

You can also feed the outlet hose into a drain pipe. Hook the hose into the drain pipe in such a way that it cannot come loose and the water drains directly downwards unhindered (see Fig. 6, B).
The outlet hose can be extended by max. 100 cm. Use an extension with an internal diameter that is at least the diameter of the original hose or a suitable connecting piece.
The hose extension should run along the floor – only the section of hose near the draining point should run upwards.

6.4. Connecting to power supply

▶ Once you have connected the washing machine to the water supply and drain, connect the power plug to a socket.
The socket must be easily accessible so that you can unplug the appliance from the mains quickly if necessary.

7. Preparations for use

7.1. Opening the door

▶ Hold the recessed grip and open the door by pulling it towards you. Open the door out fully.

If the door is opened during operation the wash cycle will automatically be interrupted.

7.2. Closing the door

▶ Push the dish rack fully into the appliance.
▶ Press on the door until you hear it lock into place.

7.3. Adding salt to the appliance

Dishwasher salt (regeneration salt) is used to harden water from a water hardness of 1-2 "medium".

It is advisable to add dishwasher salt.

MEDION MD 37496 - Adding salt to the appliance - 1

NOTICE!

Possible material damage!

Using an incorrect salt additive may damage the appliance.

■ Always use dishwasher salt/regeneration salt that is suitable for the dishwasher.
■ Normal household salt is not suitable and can damage the appliance.

Remove the dish rack and twist the lid off the salt container (11).
▶ Fill the salt container (11) with approx. 700 ml water before the first use.
Insert the funnel into the opening on the salt container and fill it with 1 kg of dishwasher salt. It is normal for water to come out of the salt container (11).

▶ Once the container has been filled, twist the lid clockwise to tighten.
To prevent damage to the appliance, a quick program without dishes or dishwasher detergent should be started immediately after filling with salt (see section "8. Starting the wash program" on page 261).

MEDION MD 37496 - Possible material damage! - 2

The salt container (11) needs filling when the salt warning light (19) switches on.

Once the salt consumption has been set according to "7.4. Setting salt consumption" on page 254 and the salt container (11) has been filled, the salt warning light will go out.

7.4. Setting salt consumption

For good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs low-lime water. Adding regeneration salt helps to achieve the required water hardness with the aid of the softening system. To maintain the function of the softening system, regeneration is performed regularly, resulting in higher water and energy consumption during the process (see table below).

▶ Set the required salt consumption, depending on the local water hardness.
The table below shows what setting is necessary for your local water hardness.

Water hardnessSalt consumptionPress PDisplayRegeneration at every X program sequence*
dH(degree of German hardness)mmol/l(millimole per litre)

35–456.2–8.0Press 6 xH61
* When regeneration is carried out during a program, an additional 2 l of water is required, the energy consumption increases by 0.02 kWh and the program is extended by 4 minutes.

▶ Close the appliance door.

▶ Press the ⏻ button (15) to switch on the appliance and make settings. Wait approx. 60 seconds.
Then press and hold the P button (25) for approx. 5 seconds to set the salt consumption according to the table above.
▶ Press the P button several times until the required water hardness level (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 or H6) is set. The setting is saved after 5 seconds if no further buttons are pressed.

7.5. Adding rinse aid

Rinse aid prevents water droplets and deposits from forming on the dishes in the last part of the wash program. Rinse aid also ensures that the dishes dry better and faster.

The appliance can operate with liquid rinse aid. The container is located next to the detergent container (3/4) on the inside of the door.

MEDION MD 37496 - Adding rinse aid - 1

NOTICE!

Risk of damage to the appliance

Using incorrect rinse aid may damage the appliance.

Remove surplus rinse aid with a damp cloth after filling and close the lid.

7.5.1. Setting the rinse aid dosing

The dosage control (6) is located inside the rinse aid container.

Remove the lid.

The control has 6 dosing levels.

▶ Begin with level 4 and check whether there are water spots on the washed dishes or are poorly dried. If this is the case, increase the dosing amount by setting the control to a higher level, e.g. with a coin.
If the dishes appear matt or glasses look "dull", reduce the amount of rinse aid. Turn the control to a lower level.

7.6. About dishwasher detergents

7.6.1. Types of detergent

Dishwasher detergent ensures that dirt is loosened and removed from dishes and cutlery. Always use detergents suitable for dishwashers. There are three types of dishwasher detergent:

• Detergents with phosphate and chlorine
• Detergents with phosphate and without chlorine
- Detergents without phosphate and without chlorine.

Dishwasher detergent in powdered form does not normally contain phosphate. As phosphate softens water, this function is not performed without phosphate.

If phosphate-free detergent is used, add extra dishwasher salt (see section "7.3. Adding salt to the appliance" on page 253).
▶ If using phosphate-free detergent, increase the dose of detergent to avoid water spots on the dishes and glasses.

Detergents with chlorine will bleach the dishes slightly. Stains and crusts are removed less easily without chlorine.

In this case, select a wash program with a higher temperature.

7.6.2. Detergent concentrates

Concentrates come in two types, depending on their chemical composition:

  • Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
  • Detergents with low alkali content and natural enzymes.

A “normal” wash program in conjunction with a detergent concentrate reduces water pollution and is better for the dishes. These wash programs are designed to loosen the dirt optimally and can achieve the same effect with cleaner concentrate as an “intensive” program.

7.6.3. Detergent tabs

The various components of cleaner tabs (e.g. 3-in-1 tabs, rinse aid, salt) dissolve gradually in sequence. The combination of several components does away with the need for a separate rinse aid and/or salt.

Larger cleaner tabs may not dissolve fully in certain circumstances. Make sure that the tabs are suitable for the selected wash program and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

7.7. Adding detergent

MEDION MD 37496 - Adding detergent - 1

DANGER!

Risk of chemical burns!

Detergents are chemicals containing caustic and abrasive ingredients.

  • Keep detergent out of reach of children!
    ■ Do not fill the detergent compartment (3) with detergent until just before running the wash cycle.

MEDION MD 37496 - Risk of chemical burns! - 1

Fig. 13

Dishwasher detergent must be added before each wash cycle. Only add as much detergent as indicated in the table in section "8. Starting the wash program" on page 261.

The appliance normally needs less detergent than a conventional dishwasher. One tablespoon of detergent is usually enough to wash a complete load of dishes. Depending on the degree of dirt, more can also be required.

Always add the detergent immediately before the wash cycle so that dishwasher powder does not become moist and dissolves properly later.

▶ Open the appliance door.

If the lid of the detergent container (3/4) is closed, push the unlocking lever to the rear (Fig. 12). The lid (7) will open.
▶ Fill the left dispenser (3) with dishwasher powder or a detergent tab (see Fig. 13). During the pre wash cycle: If using dishwasher powder, you can also fill the right dispenser (4) with a little powder.
▶ Close the lid of the detergent compartment. The lid must lock into place and must not spring open again.

7.8. Arranging the dishes and cutlery

MEDION MD 37496 - Arranging the dishes and cutlery - 1

WARNING!

Risk of injury!

There is a risk of injury due to sharp objects.

■ Knives and other utensils with sharp tips must be placed in the rack or basket with the tip in a horizontal position.

7.8.1. General information and tips on energy saving

Only use dishwasher-safe dishes and cutlery. Look for markings such as "Dish-washer safe" or "Suitable for dishwashers" when purchasing dishes.
▶ Use mild detergent that is also suitable for sensitive dishes.

Remove larger food residues from the crockery and soak dried food residues (such as dried egg or spinach). However, it is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water before the wash cycle. Pre-rinsing dishes increases water and energy consumption and is not recommended.

To prevent damage to glass or cutlery, do not remove these from the dishwasher directly after the wash program has finished. Allow the dishes to cool down slightly first.

MEDION MD 37496 - General information and tips on energy saving - 1

natural_image Diagram showing a mechanical or fluid system with an arrow, a circular component, and a droplet on a surface (no text or symbols)

Fig. 14

▶ Arrange hollow objects such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with the opening downwards, so that water cannot collect inside.

Dishes must not be put inside each other or cover another dish.
Place large dishes on the dish rack (6).

▶ To save energy and water it is best to run a cycle when your dishwasher is full.
To achieve good washing results, avoid overfilling the dishwasher.
▶ Washing dishes in a dishwasher usually uses less energy and water than washing them by hand, provided the dishwasher is used according to the user manual.
▶ Select a program that is suitable for the type of dishes and the degree of soiling.
▶ Reduce the amount of detergent if the dish racks are only half full.

7.8.2. Unsuitable or partially suitable dishes

Unsuitable dishes

• Dishes with elements made from wood, horn, mother-of-pearl
- Plastic items not resistant to heat
- Bonded dishes
- Pewter
- Crystal glass
• Non-stainless steel items

Partially suitable dishes

• Some types of glass can become dull after many wash cycles
• Silver and aluminium parts can lose colour
- Glazed designs can become pale after many wash cycles
