Frequently Asked Questions - DW452ED KKT Kolbe

What should I do before first use?
Before first use, ensure the appliance is correctly installed. Adjust the water softener according to your water hardness, fill the salt container, and fill the rinse aid dispenser. Run a short wash cycle without dishes to clean the interior.
How do I adjust the water softener?
Switch on the appliance, then within 60 seconds press and hold the program button (P) for more than 5 seconds. Press P repeatedly to set the dosage (H1-H6) corresponding to your water hardness. Press the 3o/off button to confirm. Refer to the hardness table in the manual.
How do I fill the rinse aid dispenser?
Open the rinse aid dispenser cap. Pour rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill. Close the cap. Adjust the dosage setting if needed by pressing the program button and start time pre-selection button as described in the manual.
What type of detergent should I use?
Only use detergent specifically designed for automatic dishwashers in powder, gel, or tablet form. Do not use hand dishwashing soap. Follow the manufacturer's dosage recommendations. The dispenser has a main compartment and a pre-wash compartment.
How should I load the dishwasher for best results?
Scrape off large food remnants, but do not pre-rinse. Place dishes with openings downward, ensure spray arms can rotate freely, and avoid nesting items. Sharp utensils should point downward or be placed horizontally. Do not overload; use the upper basket for delicate items and lower basket for pots and pans.
Which washing program is most efficient?
The ECO program is the most energy- and water-efficient for normally soiled dishes. It runs at 45°C with a longer duration (235 min) but uses only 0.704 kWh and 9.0 L of water. It is also used for EU eco-design compliance testing.
How do I clean the filters?
Remove the lower basket, rotate the coarse filter anticlockwise to unlock the filter assembly, and lift it out. Disassemble the coarse, main, and fine filters, rinse them under running water, and use a soft brush if needed. Reassemble and reinstall, turning clockwise to lock. Clean filters at least once a week.
Why are my dishes not drying properly?
Possible causes include improper loading (water pooling), selecting a short program with lower temperature, removing dishes too soon, or lack of rinse aid. Use the Extra Drying function if needed. Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled and the dosage is correct. Open the door slightly after cycle to let steam escape.
How do I install the dishwasher?
Position the dishwasher near the water inlet, drain, and power supply. Connect the safety supply hose to the cold water tap (3/4 inch thread) and the drain hose to a pipe (min Ø4 cm) or sink siphon, ensuring no kinks. Level the appliance using the three levelling feet. Secure it to the cabinet using the installation hooks. Attach the condensation protection strip under the worktop.
What does error code E1 mean?
Error code E1 indicates a longer inlet time. Possible causes: the faucet is not fully turned on, the water intake is restricted, or water pressure is too low. Check that the water supply is fully open and the inlet hose is not kinked. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

2. Using the Dishwasher

2.1 Before first use

  • When installing the appliance, follow the installation instructions in this manual.
  • Adjust the water softener according to your water hardness.
  • Fill the salt container.
  • Fill and adjust the rins aid dispenser.
  • Fill the detergent dispenser.

SALT

KKT Kolbe DW452ED - Before first use - 2

Note

If your appliance smells slightly of solvent or similar at the beginning, this is normal.

With new appliances, plastic and synthetic odours can occur during the first 20 to 30 washing cycles due to heating. However, these odours will gradually dissipate.

2.2 Water softener

KKT Kolbe DW452ED - Water softener - 1

The water softener is designed to remove limescale, minerals and salts from the water,

to ensure optimum washing results and to prevent lime-scale residues on dishes, accessories and appliance parts, as well as harmful or adverse effects on the operation of the appliance due to deposits resulting from hard water.

For information about the hardness of your water supply, contact your local water authority.

Adjusting the salt dosage

The water softener must be adjusted manually according to the hardness of the water in your region.

  • Switch on the appliance.
  • Within 60 seconds after turning on the appliance, press and hold the program button P for more than 5 seconds to enter the water softener setting mode.
  • Press the program button P repeatedly until the dosage setting corresponding to your water hardness appears on the display (sequence: H1→H2→H3→H4→H5→H6; see table)
  • Press the on/off button ⏻ to confirm the setting.

Filling the salt container

KKT Kolbe DW452ED - Filling the salt container - 1

Attention! Risk of damage!

  • Any type of salt not specifically intended for use in dishwashers, especially table salt, will damage the water softener.
    Only use rinsing salt intended for dishwashers.
  • If any spilled grains of salt or salty water remain on the bottom of the machine for a long time, this can lead to corrosion.
    To avoid this, do not fill the softener with salt until just before starting a wash cycle.

- Remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container (Position see section Appliance components).

- Place the end of the supplied funnel into the hole and pour in about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.

- Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.

Illustration showing three steps of a salt preparation procedure: adding a salt, pouring liquid into a beaker, and adding a pot.

  • Screw back the cap tightly
  • Immediately after fi lling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (We suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the fi lter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water.

Notes

  • The salt container must only be refi lled when the salt icon lights up on the display.
  • The salt icon will disappear from the display after the salt container has been filled with salt.

However, depending on how well the salt dissolves, it may remain lit for some time after the salt container is already filled.

- If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.

2.3 Rinse aid dispenser

KKT Kolbe DW452ED - Rinse aid dispenser - 1

Attention!

To avoid damaging the appliance, observe the following instructions:

  • Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
    • Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers.
  • Never fi ll the rinse aid dispenser with other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent).

KKT Kolbe DW452ED - Attention! - 1

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks.

It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes.

Notes

  • The intervals after which the dispenser must be refi lled depend on the number of rinse cycles and the dosage setting.
  • If rinse aid is required, this is indicated by the rinse aid indicator (*).
  • Do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser.

Filling / Refilling the rinse aid dispenser

  • Open the rinse aid reservoir cap by lifting up the handle (1).
  • Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser (2), being careful not to overfi ll it.
  • Close the cap again (3).

KKT Kolbe DW452ED - Warning! - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a baby with a crossed-out bottle and no text or symbols

KKT Kolbe DW452ED - Warning! - 2

The chemical components that make up commercial dishwashing detergents are necessary to remove, dissolve and rinse out all types of soiling from the machine.

Cleaning products with labels such as „organic“ or „eco“ usually contain only small amounts of environmentally harmful active ingredients.

The cleaning effect may be limited as a result.

Notes

  • Use only detergent specifically intended for use in dishwashers.
  • Keep detergent powder fresh and dry.
  • Do not add powdered detergent to the dispenser until just before starting a wash cycle.

Filling the detergent dispenser

  • Open the dispenser lid by sliding the release catch to the right (1).
  • Put the detergent for the main rinse cycle into the detergent compartment of the dispenser (2).
    For a better cleaning result, especially when you have heavily soiled items, add a small amount of detergent for the pre-wash phase on the inside of the appliance door.
  • Close the flap by sliding it to the front and then pressing it down. (3).

KKT Kolbe DW452ED - Filling the detergent dispenser - 1

Note

The amount of detergent required depends on the degree of soiling and can vary.

Attention!

To avoid damage, follow the instructions below for cleaning:

  • Make sure that liquids cannot penetrate into the door lock and the electrical components, and avoid the use of spray cleaners.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring sponges as these can damage the surfaces. This also applies to some paper towels.
  • Do not use solvents for cleaning.

- Only use a cloth with warm soapy water to clean the outside and the door area.

Note: The sides of the appliance door will not be reached by the spray arms when washing up. If necessary, clean them before closing the door.

- Only clean the control panel with a soft, damp cloth.

- Clean the door seals regularly with a soft, damp cloth.

- To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water an a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

4.2 Filtering system

KKT Kolbe DW452ED - Filtering system - 1

Attention!

When using the dishwasher without or with improperly inserted filters, coarse dirt particles can enter the system and cause clogging, impair the performance of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

  • Never use the dishwasher without the fi lter.
  • Make sure that all parts of the filter module are correctly reinstalled.

KKT Kolbe DW452ED - Attention! - 1

The fi ltering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the washing cycle. The collected coarse debris may cause the fi Iters to clog. Check the condition of the fi Iters regularly and clean them if necessary but at least once a week under running water as described in this chapter.

Removing the fi Iter module

  • Hold the coarse fi Iter and rotate it anticlockwise to unlock the fi Iter assembly.
  • Lift the filter assembly upwards and out of the dishwasher.
    • Make sure that no foreign objects can get into the opening.

4.4 Caring for the dishwasher

After every wash

After every wash, leave the door slightly open for some time so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

Maintenance

During use of the dishwasher, deposits of dirt or limescale may form which can significantly affect the operation of the appliance.

To prevent this, observe the following instructions:

  • Always ensure that the salt container is sufficiently full and that the correct dosage setting is used according to your water hardness (see relevant section).
  • Clean the appliance components regularly as described before.
    We recommend additional cleaning of the appliance with a commercial machine cleaner for dishwashers according to the manufacturer's instructions every 1-3 months.

Frost precaution

In winter, if necessary, take frost protection measures on the dishwasher after each wash cycle:

  • Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
  • Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
  • Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
  • Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
  • Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.

When not in use for a longtime

It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open.

This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

Moving the appliance

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

6.6 Tension adjustment of the door spring

KKT Kolbe DW452ED - Tension adjustment of the door spring - 1

door springs are set at the factory to the proper tension for the appliance door.

However, after installing the aesthetic wooden panel, you will have to adjust the door spring tension.

To do this, proceed as follows:

  • Rotate the adjusting screw (see figure) to increase or decrease the tension of the right and left door spring.
  • The door spring tension is correctly set when the door opens and closes easily and flips into the open position by itself smoothly.

6.7 Attaching the condensation protection

To protect the underside of the worktop from moisture (e.g. from steam escaping from the appliance) and to prevent damage, attach the supplied condensation protection strip under the worktop of the cabinet.

Proceed as follows:

• Make sure that the underside of the worktop is clean and dry.
- Glue the sealing tape to the underside of the worktop so that it is flush with edge of work surface.
