Frequently Asked Questions - KDI 6863 SD Kernau

How do I install the dishwasher?
Position the dishwasher on a flat, stable floor near a water tap and drain. Connect the water inlet hose directly to the tap (min 0.03 MPa, max 1 MPa). Use the new hose supplied; do not reuse old ones. Connect the drain hose to a standpipe or sink outlet (50–110 cm from floor). Electrical connection must be to a grounded outlet (220–240 V). Adjust the feet to level the machine. After installation, run an empty cycle before use.
How do I add salt and set the water softener?
Open the salt compartment cap (counterclockwise). On first use, fill with 1 kg of dishwasher salt and add water until almost overflowing. Use only special dishwasher salt (not table salt). To set hardness: press the Menu button for 3 seconds, use Programme Selection to adjust hardness level (SL1–SL6). The factory setting is SL3. Refer to the water hardness test strip (if available) or contact your water company.
Which detergent should I use and how much?
Use only detergents designed for automatic dishwashers. For best results, follow the dosage recommended in the program table. For Eco program, use 25 cm³ in main compartment and 15 cm³ in pre-wash if heavily soiled. For short programs (e.g., Quick 30'), use powder detergent only. Combined detergents (tablets) can be used but select the tablet option in menu settings. Do not overfill – excessive detergent can cause streaks or corrosion.
What do I do if the dishwasher doesn't start?
Check that the dishwasher is plugged in, switched on (press On/Off button), and the door is closed. Ensure the water inlet tap is open and the fuse hasn't blown. If the problem persists, inspect the water inlet hose and machine filters for clogs. Also check that the selected program has started (press Start/Pause). If the error code appears, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact service.
How do I clean the filters and spray arms?
Clean filters and spray arms at least once a week. To remove the filter combination: turn counterclockwise, lift out, then separate coarse from micro filter. Rinse all parts under running water. Reassemble and replace, turning clockwise. For spray arms: remove the upper spray arm by unscrewing the nut clockwise and pulling down; clean holes with a thin object. Lower spray arm can be removed similarly. Ensure they are properly tightened after cleaning.
What does the error code FF mean?
Error code FF indicates a water inlet system failure. First, ensure the water tap is fully open and water is flowing. Then, disconnect the inlet hose from the tap and clean the filter in the hose. If the error persists, contact authorized service. Other common errors: F2 (drain issue – check hoses and filters), F3 (continuous water input – close tap and call service), F1 (overflow – unplug machine and call service).
How can I improve drying performance?
For better drying, use the Extra Dry option (increases final rinse temperature and drying time). Ensure rinse aid is filled and the dosage is set correctly (factory r:4). If dishes are spotted or not dry, increase rinse aid level. After cycle ends, slightly open the door for about 30 minutes to assist drying. Also avoid overloading and ensure items are properly positioned.
Can I open the dishwasher during a cycle?
The dishwasher will automatically pause when the door is opened (hot water may spill – be careful). Close the door and the program will resume. If you need to cancel the program, open the door, press and hold Start/Pause for 3 seconds until '0:01' appears, then close the door. The machine will drain for 30 seconds and cancel. Do not open the door before a cycle is complete unless necessary.
How do I activate child lock?
Press both Programme Selection buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The child lock indicator will illuminate and 'CL1' will show on the display. To deactivate, repeat the same process. When child lock is active, the control panel buttons are locked to prevent unintended operation.
Where can I get spare parts and service?
Use only original spare parts for safety and proper function. Contact Kernau customer service (phone: +48 22 243 70 00, email: serwis@kernau.com) for authorized service and genuine parts. Function-relevant parts are available for at least 10 years after the product's market placement in the European Economic Area.

CHAPTER 4. BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

PREPARING YOUR DISHWASHER FOR FIRST USE

• Make sure the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated in the installation instructions for the machine.
- Remove all packaging material inside the machine.
- Set the water softener level.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.

SALT USAGE (IF AVAILABLE)

For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, White lime residues will remain on the dishes and the interior equipment. This will negatively affect your machine's washing, drying and shining performance. When water flows through the softener system, the ions forming the hardness are removed from the water and the water reaches the softness required to obtain the best washing result. Depending on the level of hardness of the inflowing water, these ions that harden the water accumulate rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore, the softener system has to be refreshed so that it operates with the same performance also during the next wash. For this purpose, dishwasher salt is used. Machine can only be used by special dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do not use any small grained or powdered type of salts which can easily soluble. Using any other type of salt can damage your machine.

FILL THE SALT (IF AVAILABLE)

To add softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter clockwise. (1) (2) At first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt and water (3) until it is almost overflowing. If available, using a funnel (4) will make filling easier. Replace the cap and close it. After every 20-30 Cycles add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).

Kernau KDI 6863 SD - FILL THE SALT (IF AVAILABLE) - 1

Only add water to the salt compartment on first use.

Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers. When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment is filled with water, therefore put the softener salt in prior to starting your machine. If the

softener salt has overflowed and you do not start the machine immediately, run a short washing program to protect your machine against corrosion.

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. To find out the hardness level of your tap water, contact your water company or use a test strip (if available).

SETTING

In order to change the salt level, follow the below steps:

  • Turn on the machine, and press Menu button for 3 seconds. Water hardness setting is seen first ("SL3" is the factory setting).
  • Then, press Select button and the salt level (e.g. "SL3") blinks.
  • Change the level by pressing the Programme Selection buttons.
    • Press Select button to save the desired level and the new salt level will illuminate constantly.
    • Turn off the machine to exit from the settings.

DETERGENT USAGE

Only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children.

Add the proper detergent for the selected program to ensure the best performance. The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes.

Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise you can see whitish streaks or bluish layers on glass and dishes and may cause glass corrosion. Continued use of too much detergent may cause machine damage.

Using little detergent can result in poor cleaning and you can see whitish streaksin hard water.

See the detergent manufacturer's instructions for a further information.

FILLING THE DETERGENT

Push the latch to open the dispenser and pour in the detergent. Close the lid and press it until it locks in place. The dispenser should be refilled just before the start of each programme. If the dishes are heavily soiled, place additional detergent in the pre-wash detergent chamber.

DETERGENT

USING COMBINED DETERGENTS

These products should be used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never put combined detergents into the interior section or the cutlery basket. Combined detergents contain not only the detergent but also rinse-aid, salt replacement substances and additional components depending on the combination. We recommend you do not use combined detergents in short programmes. Please use powder detergents in such programmes.

If you encounter problems when using combined detergents, please contact the detergent manufacturer. When you stop using combined detergents, make sure that water hardness and rinse aid settings are set to the correct level.

RINSE-AID USAGE

The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. Rinse-aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. The rinse aid is automatically released during the hot rinse phase. If rinse aid dosage setting set too low, whitish stains remains on dishes and dishes do not dry and washed clean. If rinse aid dosage setting set too height, you can see bluish layers on glass and dishes.

FILLING THE RINSE-AID AND SETTING

To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the rinse-aid compartment cap. Fill the compartment with rinse aid to the MAX level and then close the cap. Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills.

In order to change the rinse aid level, follow the below steps

  • Turn on the machine and press Menu button for 3 seconds. Water hardness level is seen first ("SL3" is the factory setting).
  • Press Programme Selection button to pass Rinse aid setting. ("r:4" is the factory setting)
  • Rinse aid follows water hardness setting.
  • Then, press Select button and the level of Rinse aid (e.g. "r:4") blinks.
  • Change the level by pressing the Programme Selection button.
    • Press Select button to save desired level and the new level of Rinse aid will illuminate constantly
    • Turn off the machine to exit from the setting.

The factory setting is "4".

If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes, decrease the level.

CHAPTER 5. LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

For best results, follow these loading guidelines.

Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings.

Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended. You can place cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc. in upper basket. Do not lean long glasses against one another or they cannot remain steady and may receive damage.

When placing long stem glasses and goblets, lean them against the basket edge or rack and not against other items.

Place all containers such as cups, glasses and pots into the dishwasher with the opening facing downwards otherwise water can collect on items.

If there is cutlery basket in machine, you are recommended to use the cutlery grid in order to obtain the best result. Place all large (pots, pans, lids, plates, bowls etc.) and very dirty items in the lower rack.

Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above each other.

CHAPTER 8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your dishwasher is important to maintain the machine's service life. Make sure that the water softening setting (If available) is done correctly and correct amount of detergent is used to prevent limescale accumulation. Refill the salt compartment when the salt sensor light comes on. Oil and limescale may build up in your dishwasher over time.

If this occurs:

  • Fill the detergent compartment but do not load any dishes. Select a programme which runs at high temperature and run the dishwasher empty. If this does not clean your dishwasher sufficiently, use a cleaning agent designed for use with dishwashers.
    • To extend the life of your dishwasher, clean the appliance regularly on each month.
  • Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated residue or foreign objects.

FILTERS

Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a week. If any food waste remains or foreign objects on the coarse and fine filters, remove them and clean them thoroughly with water.

a) Micro Filter
b) Coarse Filter
c) Metal Filter
