Frequently Asked Questions - MNV-2545 Concept

How do I set the water softener based on water hardness?

Press the ON/OFF button, then hold the Start/Pause button for 5 seconds. Use the Start/Pause button to cycle through settings H1 to H6. Press ON/OFF to save. The factory setting is H4. Refer to the water hardness table in the manual for the correct level.

What type of salt should I use and how do I fill it?

Use only regenerative salt designed for dishwashers. Do not use kitchen salt. Pull out the lower rack, unscrew the cap, pour 0.5 L of water first (only for initial use), then add salt using the funnel (capacity ~1.2 kg). Tighten the cap gently.

How do I fill the rinse aid and adjust its dosage?

Open the rinse aid cap, pour in rinse aid up to max ~140 ml. The dosage can be set from 1 to 6 by turning the cap. Factory setting is 2. Increase if water stains appear, decrease if sticky film occurs. Close the cap firmly.

Which dishwasher detergent should I use and how much?

Use only detergent designed for dishwashers (powder, liquid, tablets, or combined). The container has a main wash (1) and pre-wash (2) section. Use 5/22 g for pre-wash/main wash typically. Do not exceed the MAX level. For short programs, powder detergent is recommended over tablets.

What are the washing programs and when to use them?

The dishwasher has 6 programs: Intensive (very dirty pots), Daily (normal soil), ECO (energy-saving, less dirty), Glass (delicate items), 1 Hour (quick wash with drying), and Rapid (accelerated, no drying). Select based on soil level and dish type.

How should I load the dishwasher for best results?

Place cups/glasses upside down, pots in lower rack, cutlery with handles down. Ensure items do not block spray arms. Collapse plate holders for larger pots. Use the extender for stemmed glasses. Adjust upper rack height if needed.

How do I clean and maintain the dishwasher?

Clean filters regularly (main, rough, soft) under running water. Clean spray arm jets if blocked. Wipe door seal with wet cloth. Use a special dishwasher cleaner every 4-6 months. Keep salt and rinse aid topped up. Leave door slightly open to prevent odors.

What should I do if the dishwasher does not start?

Check that the unit is plugged in and the door is closed properly. Ensure water tap is open and supply hose sieve is clean. Verify the program is selected and start button pressed. If still not working, consult the troubleshooting section in the manual.

How do I install the dishwasher and connect it to water/electricity?

Follow the built-in installation instructions: adjust door spring strength, connect supply hose to water tap (max 60°C), connect discharge hose to drain (height 400-1000 mm), and plug into grounded outlet. Use the condensation strip. Level the dishwasher with adjustable feet.

What are the safety precautions I should be aware of?

Do not use the dishwasher if door seal is damaged. Keep sharp objects with points down. Do not sit on open door. Use only dishwasher-safe detergents. When opening door during operation, be cautious of steam/hot water. Disconnect power before cleaning. Supervise children.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

For the first washing, buy

• regeneration salt (according to the water hardness – see below)
• dishwasher detergent
• rinse aid

Use only products designed for dishwashers.

Water softening device

Soft water is needed for effective washing, i.e. water with a low calcium content; otherwise limescale is created on the dishes and inside the unit. Water from the mains that exceeds the given hardness level shall be softened for use, i.e. decalcified. This is done by the regenerative salt in the softening device. The settings and necessary volume of the salt depend on the tap water hardness. Water hardness is marked in equivalent levels, German °dH, French °TH and mmol/l (milimol per liter – international water hardness unit).

The softener should be set according to the hardness of the local water. You may get the information on the local water hardness from your local water utilities provider.

To set the water hardness, proceed as follows:

• Open the door and push the (1) button.
• Press the button (5) for 5 seconds
• Press the button (5) to switch between programs H1 - H6.
• These programs detected by a combination of lighted LEDs in the following table.
• Press the button (1) to save and exit setup.

Water hardness				Indicator combination	salt consumption (gram / wash cycle)	Wash cycle / 1kg salt

Note: The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness H4.

Filling the regenerative salt

Effects of the salt

During the washing, salt is automatically washed out of the container into the softening device, where it dissolves calcium. The dissolved calcium is washed out of the unit. The water softening device is then ready for the next operation. This regenerative process works only if the salt dissolves.

1. Pull out the lower rack.
2. Open the container closing (Fig. 2).
3. Pour 0.5 l of water into the container before the first use.
4. Put the supplied funnel on the container opening.

1. Pour the regenerative salt slowly into the container (capacity about 1.2 kg). The salt will wash excess water out (Fig. 3).

WARNING!

Use only regenerative salt designed for dishwashers. Do not use kitchen salt!

Never use dishwasher detergent in the water softener container!

1. Close the container and fasten the closing gently.

Note: Indication to add regenerative salt on the control panel will be illuminated first. It will go out after a while, when a sufficient salt concentration has been achieved.

Warning

Never put dishwasher detergent in the regenerative salt container. You could destroy the softening device.

Indication to add regenerative salt

The salt has to be added immediately before the next washing, when the respective indicator on the control panel is illuminated.

Filling the Rinse Aid in the Container

The rinse aid is used in the last stage of rinsing. It prevents water droplets from drying and creating stains on the surface during drying.

Fill the rinse aid before running the washing program, so that any spilled remnants of the agent are washed away immediately and don't increase the risk of corrosion of the internal parts!

1. Open the door.
2. Open the container closing (Fig. 4).
3. Pour the rinse aid slowly into the container (Fig. 5); the capacity is about 140 ml.

WARNING! Use only rinse aid designed for dishwashers. Never put dishwasher detergent in the rinse aid container!

1. Close the container and fasten the closing gently (Fig. 6).

The volume of rinse aid can be checked visually. If the window by the closing of the rinse aid container is black, there is enough of the agent. If the window is light, the container is empty.

Setting the Rinse Aid Dosage

There are several positions for dosage of the rinse aid. Before the first use, set the dosage to 2.

If there are stains from water on the dishes, add rinse aid.

If a sticky fi lm remains, reduce the volume of rinse aid.

1. Open the door.
2. Open the container closing (Fig. 4).
3. Increase/reduce the dosage (position 1 - 6).
4. Close the container and fasten the closing gently (Fig. 6).

If you use only dishwasher detergent integrated with rinse aid, leave the rinse aid container empty, or reduce the dosage to the minimum.

Using the Dishwasher Detergent

Dishwasher detergents can be divided by form into four groups:

a) Powdered
b) Liquid
c) Tablets
d) Combined (e.g. 3 in 1 tablets)

They can be divided into two groups by chemical composition:

a) Alkaline
b) With natural enzymes

We can further divide them into:
a) Phosphate and chlorine
b) Phosphate and chlorine-free
c) Phosphate-free and chlorine-free

When using phosphate-free agents in hard water, white sediment may appear on the dishes and internal walls. This can be prevented by higher amounts of dishwasher detergent.

Chlorine-free dishwasher detergents have less bleaching effect. This may lead to a higher visibility of tea stains or discolored plastic parts.

A stronger washing program, increased volume of dishwasher detergent or use of chlorine dishwasher detergent can help here.

You can find out whether the dishwasher detergent is suitable for silver by reading the package.

For further inquiries, contact the manufacturer of the dishwasher detergent.

Dishwasher detergent instructions

Use commonly supplied liquid or powder brand-name products for dishwashers, or tablets (do not use agents for hand washing

Dishwasher detergent container with dosage

The doses in the container will help you pour in the correct volume of dishwasher detergent (Fig. 7). The container consists of a section for main washing (1) and pre-washing (2).

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbols

Fig. 8

Filling the Dishwasher Detergent

Pour in the dishwasher detergent when the door is fully open.

If the dishwasher detergent container remains closed, open it by pushing the closing lock.

1. Fill the container with dishwasher detergent. For proper dosage, please follow the manufacturer's instructions.
   Do not exceed the MAX level when pouring the dishwasher detergent.
   Due to the different operation of washing tablets their washing power can sometimes be limited during short programs. For these programs, powder dishwasher detergents are more suitable.
2. Close the dishwasher detergent container and close the door.

How to Save

If the dishes are just slightly dirty, a lower volume of dishwasher detergent than specified should suffice.

WARNING!

Keep the washing agents in a safe and dry place, out of reach of children and disabled persons.

Find out what type of dishwasher detergent or combined dishwasher detergent you have!

Follow the operating manual or instructions on the package.

When using combined dishwasher detergents, you don't have to use regeneration salt only up to the water hardness values of 21^ (37 °TH, 3.7 mmol/l). For water hardness over 21^ (37 °TH, 3.7 mmol/l), the salt is required.

Note: Optimum washing and drying results can be achieved by using classic rinse aids combined with separate use of salt and rinse aid.

For the effectiveness of the combined dishwasher detergent it is crucial to follow the respective operating instructions.

Caution

Even when the rinse aid and/or salt level indicators are illuminated, a washing program using 3 in 1 tablets runs without defects.

Unsuitable Dishes

Do not wash:

• Cutlery and dishes containing parts made of wood. They get soaked in the dishwasher and lose their attractiveness. The glues used for wood are also unsuitable for temperatures inside a dishwasher.
• Finely decorated glasses and vases or priceless antiques. Such kitchenware was not made for use in dishwashers. Some types of glass may turn cloudy after several washing cycles.
• Plastic parts of dishes sensitive to hot water and dishes made from copper and tin. Aluminum or silver decorations on glass can change or lose color as well.

Absorbent materials, such as sponges or towels, do not belong in the dishwasher.

RECOMMENDATION:

Wash only dishes for which dishwasher suitability has been confirmed.

Caution

Dishes soiled by ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint should not be washed in the dishwasher.

Damage to glass and dishes

Causes:

• Type of glass and its manufacturing process.
  • Chemical composition of the dishwasher detergent.
  • Water temperature and time of the program.

RECOMMENDATION:

• Use glass and porcelain labeled by the manufacturer as suitable for washing in dishwashers.
• Use dishwasher detergents labeled by the manufacturer as dish-friendly. Inquire at the manufacturer's.
• Select programs with the shortest time.
  • To prevent damage, remove the glass and cutlery as soon as possible after the program finishes.

Loading the dishwasher

Remove large remnants of food from the dishes. Rinsing under running water prior to washing is not necessary.

Put the dishes in as follows:

• cups, glasses, pots etc. bottoms up
- put convex or hollow dishes crossways to allow the water to drain
• the dishes shall stand firm and not sway
• the dishes shall not prevent the spray arms from rotating

Do not wash very small dishes in the dishwasher – they may fall out of the racks easily.

Removing the dishes

To prevent water from the upper rack dripping onto the dishes in the lower rack, we recommend removing the dishes from the lower rack fi rst.

Note: If there is no temperature stated for a program, the dishwasher does not heat water at this stage.

When using 3 in 1 detergents (tablets) the washing program parameters can vary slightly. To achieve the best washing results, use the Intensive, Normal and Economy programs.

Note: When the dishwasher is not fully loaded it is sufficient to use the next weaker program.

Information for the programs

The stated data apply under normal conditions.

Major differences may occur due to:

• various amounts of dishes
• temperature of the supplied water
• water pressure in the mains
• surrounding temperature
• electric power network voltage tolerance
- differences due to the dishwasher's operation (e.g. temperature, volume of water, etc.)

Water consumption values relate to the water hardness in the medium position.

Washing the Dishes - Procedure

1. Slide out, fill and slide in both racks.
2. Check or add salt or rinse aid.
3. Put the relevant amount of dishwasher detergent in the corresponding section of the container.
4. Open the water tap fully.
5. Keep pushing the door gently until it clicks to close it properly.
6. Turn on the dishwasher by pushing the main switch (1). All the symbols and indicators on the display will be illuminated for a moment.
7. If you need to delay the start of the washing, push the delayed ON button (3) repeatedly to set the required time of the delay (2, 4, 6, 8 hours).
8. Select the required program by pressing the respective button (6).
9. The program (or countdown function) starts in several seconds.
10. After the program is complete the dishwasher will beep.
11. Turn the dishwasher off by pressing the main switch (1).
12. Close the water tap.
13. Hot dishes are very fragile. We recommend waiting for about 15 minutes before you take out the dishes to let them cool down.
14. Take out the dishes from the lower rack first, then from the upper rack to prevent water dripping from the upper to the lower dishes.

Note: If you decide to change the selected program, check to see if there is any dishwasher detergent in the container, or if it has been used and more should be added before launching a new program.

If you need to add dishes to the dishwasher when program is running

1. Open the dishwasher door slightly; the running program will stop. Wait until the spray arms stop moving.
2. Add the dishes to the dishwasher and close the door. The program will resume after a couple of seconds.

WARNING!

Proceed with caution when adding dishes. A large volume of steam may be released, or hot water may splash out when you open the door. Hot water with dishwasher detergent can be chemically aggressive in contact with skin or furniture.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

By regular checking and maintenance you may prevent defects before they occur. Therefore, you should inspect the dishwasher carefully from time to time. To keep the dishwasher in perfect condition, we recommend using special dishwasher cleaner once every 4 - 6 months (e.g. Calgonit).

Overall condition

• Check the washing zone for sediments of fat and limescale. If there are sediments, fill the dishwasher detergent container and run the program at the highest temperature.
• Wipe the door sealing regularly with a wet cloth to remove sediments.
• Check the salt level indicator; add salt if needed.
• Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid if needed.

Fig. 14

Discharge fi Iters

The discharge fi Iters protect the pump against large particles from the washing water. These particles can clog the filters. The filtering system (Fig. 1) consists of the main fi Iter (1), rough fi Iter (2) and soft fi Iter (3).

Check the condition of the fl iters after each washing.

You can remove the filter system after unscrewing the rough filter drum. Remove sediments and clean the filters under running water. Follow the reverse steps to reinstall the fl iters.

Never use the dishwasher without a properly installed fi Iter system!

Spray arms

Calcium and dirt from the washing water can block the jets and bearings of the spray arms.

• Check the output jets of the spray arms for food remnants.
• If necessary, unscrew and remove the arms (Fig. 15). Rinse them under running water and reinstall them.

Fig. 15

Cleaning the control panel and surface of the dishwasher

Use a soft, wet cloth. Do not use rough or sharp objects or aggressive detergents.

Protect the door lock from water.

Protection from freezing

If you are not going to use the dishwasher for longer time, or you are going to store it in a place with a low temperature, you should proceed as follows:

1. Disconnect the dishwasher from the power outlet.
2. Disconnect the dishwasher from the water supply.
3. Dismantle the supply hose and pour out the water. You may use a shallow tray to collect the water.
4. Connect the supply hose back to the dishwasher.
5. Remove the filter system on the bottom, and dry the remaining water (with a sponge).

Some tips for maintenance

• Close the water supply after each use, and leave the door slightly open to prevent dampness and smell from accumulating inside.
• Disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet before cleaning and maintenance.
• Do not use rough tools or hand-washing sponges. They could scratch the surface. Use a wet cloth soaked in water with detergent.
• If you are leaving your apartment for a longer period of time, run a washing program with the dishwasher empty; after completion disconnect the power supply cable, close the water tap and leave the door slightly open to prevent dampness and smell from accumulating inside. An open door also prolongs the life of the sealing.
• If you need to move the unit, keep it in the vertical position. If this is impossible, turn and move it on the back side.
  • One of the sources of smell is dirt around individual seals. Check them and wipe with a wet cloth if necessary.

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY OF THE DISHWASHER

General

Based and integrable dishwashers installed additionally as free-standing appliances must be protected from overturning. They should, for example, be screwed to a wall, or placed under a compact worktop fixed to cupboards.

The dishwasher has to be expertly connected to assure proper operation. The data for the water input and output and electric parameters shall correspond to the data mentioned in the technical parameters or assembly instructions.

Preparations for installation

For built-in version dimensions, see Fig. 16a (for model MNV 4045) and Fig. 16b (for model MNV 4060). Leave a minimum space around the open door of 50 mm.

Door lifting spring strength adjustment

Due to the material used for the cover plate, the weight will differ accordingly. You may set the spring strength using screws (Fig. 20) on the front side so that the door holds in the open position, and close smoothly when lifted.

Connection of the discharge hose

Connect the discharge hose:

a) to a discharge pipe with a diameter of 40 mm with a hole,
b) or use the supplied adapter that enables discharge into a basin or a bathtub. Note: If you use the adapter, it must be fixed properly. Otherwise, it can come loose and the water can spill on the floor.
c) Or use the siphon side hose of the sink or basin. Fix the hose to the lower side of the worktop. Thus, you will prevent the water from flowing back into the dishwasher.

The end of the discharge hose should be 400 – 1,000 mm (Fig. 21) above the floor, not immersed in water to prevent back flow.

Make sure the hose is not bent or jammed to prevent a reduced or stopped water supply.

Fig. 21

Water supply connection

- Before you connect the supply hose to the water mains, make sure the pressure corresponds to the value range 0.01 – 1.00 MPa. In case of higher water pressure you should install a reduction pressure valve.

- The dishwasher can be connected to hot (maximum 60^ ) or cold water. We recommend connecting to cold water. A hot water supply is not necessarily effective with very dirty dishes, as it reduces the time of the washing program too much.

- Connect the supply hose to a water tap with a 2/4" thread (Fig. 22). Make sure the supply hose is not bent, pressed or tangled.

- When replacing the unit, a new supply hose shall always be used – do not use the old supply hose.

- If the water pipes are new, or have not been used for a long time, let a sufficient volume of water run out before you connect the supply hose to rinse the pipes and prevent possible sediment from getting into the dishwasher.

Double safety system

The supply hose is equipped with a double safety system.

a) Double layer – prevents cracking.

b) The Aqua Stop safety valve is mounted to the water tap. In case of leakage during operation, the safety valve stops the water supply.

Connecting to the mains

• Make sure the mains voltage matches the value marked on the rating plate.
• Use grounded wall outlets only.
- Do not use adapter plugs, connectors or extension cables. They could create a risk of fi re due to overheating.
• The supply cable socket has to be freely accessible even after the installation.
- Only a qualified expert can perform connection changes.

INSTALLATION OF THE DISHWASHER

When installing the dishwasher, follow these instructions:

1. Check the dishwasher after delivery.
   Note: All the functions have been checked thoroughly during manufacture. Small water stains may be left after these tests. They will disappear after the first washing.
2. Fix the cover plate to the door.
3. Adjust the door lifting spring strength.
4. Connect the supply hose to the water mains.
5. Connect the discharge hose to the drain pipe.
6. Stick condensation strip on the lower edge of the worktop (supplied) to reduce the humidity permeating the worktop (Fig. 24).
7. Connect the dishwasher to the electric power network.
8. Put the dishwasher in the selected place.
9. Adjust the dishwasher to a horizontal position using the feet. Adjust the height of the front feet with a wrench, adjust the height of the rear feet with a screwdriver (Fig. 24). Check the horizontal position using a level.

Fig. 24

Removal

If you are dismantling the dishwasher, it is important to proceed correctly:

1. Disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical network first (pull out the plug).
2. Close the water supply.
3. Release the supply and discharge hoses.
4. Release the screws under the worktop.
5. If there is a plate base under the dishwasher, disassemble it.
6. Remove the dishwasher carefully, and the supply and discharge hoses with it.

TROUBLESHOOTING

You will be able to fix most of the minor defects that may occur during operation of the dishwasher yourself, without calling the service centre. This will save you money and help you put the dishwasher back in operation. The following overview should assist you when looking for causes of the defects.

Problem Cause Solution
The dishwasher can't be operated.	Plug inserted into the mains outlet incorrectly or insufficiently.	Check the plug connection.
	The mains outlet is not live.	Check for voltage, e.g. by connecting another appliance.
The dishwasher does not run.	The dishwasher is not closed properly.	Make sure the dishwasher is ON and the door is closed tight.
	The water tap is not open.	Check to make sure the water supply is open.
	The supply hose sieve is clogged.	Turn off the dishwasher and disconnect the power cable from wall outlet. Close the water supply. Clean the sieve located on the supply hose connection.
The lower or upper spray arm turns with difficulty.	The arm is blocked by dishes or food particles.	Check the position of the dishes, or clean the arm.
The dishwasher detergent container can't be closed.	The container is full.	Remove the excess amount of dishwasher detergent.
	The mechanism is blocked by stuck remnants of dishwasher detergent.	Clean the closing mechanism of the dishwasher detergent container.
The light indicators do not go out after washing.	The main switch is still ON.	Turn the dishwasher off by pushing the main switch.
Remnants of dishwasher detergent are stuck in the container.	The container was wet during filling.	Pour the dishwasher detergent only into a dry container.
Water remains in the dishwasher after washing.	The discharge hose is clogged or bent.	Check the clearness of the discharge hose.
	The liters are clogged. Check and replace the liters.
	The discharge pump is blocked.	Have the unit repaired by a qualified specialist.
Soapy water in the washing zone.	Unsuitable dishwasher detergent, spilled rinse aid.	Use only dishwasher detergent designed for dishwashers; if there is soapy foam in the washing zone, leave the dishwasher open. Add 4.5 liters of cold water to the washing zone, close the dishwasher and pump out the water. Repeat the steps if necessary. Always wipe up spilled rinse aid.
Stains in the washing zone.	Colored dishwasher detergent was used.	Do not use colored dishwasher detergents.
Problém Příčina Řešení
The dishes aren't dry. The rinse aid container is empty.		Make sure the rinse aid container is fi lled.
The dishes and cutlery aren't clean.	Wrong program. Select a more effective	program.
	Incorrectly loaded dishwasher.	Make sure the operation of the rinse aid container and spray arms is not blocked by incorrectly loaded dishes.
Stains and fi lm on glasses and cutlery.	Extremely hard water, low water temperature, overloaded dishwasher, incorrectly loaded dishwasher, old or wet dishwasher detergent, empty rinse aid container, wrong dosage of the dishwasher detergent.	Take out metal dishes, do not add dishwasher detergent, select the longest program, run the dishwasher for 18 – 20 minutes, during main washing open the door, pour 2 cups of vinegar on the bottom, close the door, and let the dishwasher fi nish the washing cycle. If the vinegar does not work, repeat the whole procedure and add 1⁄4 cup of citric acid.
Stains on glass.	Combination of soft water and too much dishwasher detergent.	Use less dishwasher detergent in case of soft water, and select the shortest washing cycle for washing glass.
Yellow or brown fi lm on the internal surface.	Ferrous sediments in the water can cause this fi lm.	Contact a company specializing in water treatment and ask for a suitable fi Iter.
White fi lm on the internal surface. Mineral	sediments from hard water.	Use a wet sponge with detergent; put rubber gloves on. Never use any other cleaning agents than those designed for dishwashers.
Slight steam leakage. Normal phenomenon.		It is common for steam to leak through the door lock
Black or gray stains on the dishes.	Aluminum cutlery was touching the dishes during washing.	Use a soft abrasive to clean the stains. Do not use this agent in the dishwasher!
Water remains in the washing zone. Normal phenomenon.		A small volume of water around the drain holes on the bottom keeps the sealing lubricated.
The dishwasher is leaking.	The dishwasher detergent or rinse aid container is overfl owing, or the dish-washer is not in a horizontal position.	The dishwasher detergent or rinse aid container is overfl owing, or the dish-washer is not in a horizontal position.

Note: The angled water tap sold in the Czech Republic mostly contains a check valve that can be blocked when Aqua-Stop is used, and the unit does not pump water.

For proper function, it is necessary to remove the check valve.
