Frequently Asked Questions - DW601S KKT Kolbe

How do I install the KKT Kolbe DW601S dishwasher?

Ensure the dishwasher is placed on a level surface. Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water supply with a 3/4 inch threaded fitting. Connect the drain hose to a sink drain or waste pipe. Plug into a grounded outlet. Refer to the installation manual for detailed instructions.

What should I do if the dishwasher does not clean properly?

Check that the spray arms are not blocked by large items. Clean the filters under running water. Ensure you are using the correct amount of detergent and rinse aid. Also verify that the water temperature is at least 50°C for hot wash programs.

How can I interpret error codes on my DW601S?

Error codes are displayed on the panel. Common codes: E1 (water intake issue), E4 (heating problem), E8 (water overflow). Consult the user manual for a full list of error codes and troubleshooting steps.

Why is the dishwasher making loud noises?

Noises can be caused by items rattling against each other. Ensure dishes are properly loaded and not interfering with the spray arms. Also check if the dishwasher is level. Grinding sounds may indicate a foreign object in the pump; inspect the filter area.

How often should I clean the dishwasher filters?

It is recommended to clean the coarse and fine filters after every few cycles or at least once a month. Remove any food debris and rinse under running water. Reinstall them securely to avoid leaks.

Can I use regular dish soap in the dishwasher?

No, never use regular dish soap as it creates excessive suds, leading to leaks and poor cleaning. Only use dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, or tablets) specifically designed for dishwashers.

What is the maximum load capacity of the DW601S?

The DW601S can hold up to 8 place settings. This includes plates, bowls, glasses, and cutlery. Follow the loading guidelines in the manual to optimize cleaning results.

How do I enable the child lock?

Press and hold the Start/Reset button for 3 seconds until the child lock indicator lights up. To disable, repeat the same procedure. This prevents accidental operation by children.

What should I do if the dishwasher does not drain?

Check for kinks in the drain hose. Clean the filter and the drain pump area (remove the filter cover and check for obstructions). If the problem persists, there may be a blocked drain hose or faulty pump; contact service.

Where can I find spare parts for my KKT Kolbe DW601S?

Spare parts such as filters, spray arms, racks, and detergent dispensers can be ordered from authorized KKT Kolbe service centers or online parts retailers. Always use genuine parts to ensure proper fit and performance.

2. Before Operation

2.1 Unpacking and preparing the appliance

Smell perception during unpacking

A slight odour may be noticeable when unpacking the appliance.

This is normal and harmless and will soon disappear.

- When unpacking the appliance, make sure that it has not been damaged during transport.

WARNING!

Risk of injury and electric shock!

If you notice any damage to the appliance, its cable or other components, do not connect it and do not put it into operation!

This can be very dangerous!

Contact the customer service.

- We recommend writing down the 20-digit serial number on the inner cover of this manual for possible queries.

- If the appliance has been properly installed (see relevant sections), before using it, ensure that all packaging materials, stickers, protective films and transport protection materials have been removed from the product and properly disposed of and that any remaining small parts such as assembly materials are safely maintained.

WARNING!

Danger of suffocation!

Small parts, foils etc. can be very dangerous if they are swallowed or pulled over the head, for example!

Always keep them out of reach of children and pets.

2.2 Notes on commissioning

Operating requirements

Always observe to the following limit values for operation:

• Maximum permissible water pressure / inlet: 1 MPa
• Minimum permissible water pressure / inlet: 0.04 MPa
- Load limit per wash cycle: 9 tableware sets

• Only operate the appliance if it is in perfect condition and has been properly installed, ideally by a suitably qualified specialist.
• Before commissioning, adjust the salt dosage of the water softener according to your water hardness and fill the salt container, fill and adjust the dosage setting of the rinse aid container and fill the detergent dispenser, as described in the following sections.
• To operate, set and use the appliance, proceed as described in the relevant sections.

Smell perception during operation

If your appliance smells slightly of solvent or similar after commissioning, this is normal. With new appliances, plastic and synthetic odours can occur during the first 20 to 30 wash cycles due to heating. However, these odours will gradually dissipate.

2.3 Setting the water softener and salt filling

Function of the water softener

The water softener is designed to remove limescale, minerals and salts from the water using rinsing salt, 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. The more minerals present, the harder your water will be. This varies from place to place.

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

Adjusting the salt dosage of the water softener

Set the water softener manually according to the water hardness in your region, as follows:

• Close the appliance door and switch on the appliance.
• Within 60 seconds after turning on the appliance, press and hold the programme selection button P for more than 5 seconds to enter the water softener setting mode.
• Press the programme selection button Repeatedly until the dosage setting according 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.

* Every cycle with a regeneration operation consumes additional 2.0 litres of water, the energy consumption increases by 0.02 kWh and the programme extents by 4 minutes.

Filling the salt container

ATTENTION! Risk of damage!

Only fill the salt container with dishwasher salt (regenerating salt)!

Any type of salt that is not specifically intended for use in dishwashers, especially table salt, will damage the water softener!

If any spilt grains of salt or salt water remain inside the appliance for a long time, this can lead to corrosion and damage the filter system, the pump or other important appliance parts!

To avoid this, only fill the water softener with salt shortly before starting a wash cycle!

Fill the salt container before commissioning or when the signal light for rinsing salt lights up, as follows:

• Remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container (1, for the position see section "Appliance components...").
• Place the end of the supplied funnel into the hole and pour in about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt (2).
• Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with water (3, If a small amount of water escapes from the salt container, this is normal and harmless).
• Screw the cap tightly back onto the salt container (4).
• Start any wash cycle immediately after filling the salt into the salt container (We recommend using a short programme), to remove any salt residue remaining in the appliance.

Notes on salt filling and display

The salt container may only be topped up if this is indicated by the salt indicator light ✉

The signal light goes out, after the salt container has been filled with salt.

However, depending on how well the salt dissolves, it may continue to glow for some time after filling.

2.4 Filling and adjusting the rinse aid dispenser

ATTENTION! Risk of damage!

Only use liquid branded rinse aid for dishwashers to fill the rinse aid dispenser! Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with other substances (e.g. dishwashing detergent, liquid washing-up liquid).

Function of the rinse aid

The rinse aid is released during the last rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your crockery, which can leave stains and streaks. It also improves drying by making the water roll off the dishes.

Rinse aid signal light and fill level indicator

The intervals at which the rinse aid dispenser must be refilled depend on the number of wash cycles and the dosage setting. If rinse aid is required, this is indicated by the signal light for rinse aid You can also see the fill level of the rinse aid dispenser on its visual indicator next to the lid, as follows:

full 34 full 12 full 14 full empty

Note: The rinse aid level should not be below 14 .

Filling / refilling the rinse aid container

• Open the cap of the rinse aid container by rotating it anti-clockwise (1).

• If a bluish film or whitish streaks or stains form on glasses or knife blades, select a lower setting.

2.6 Filling the detergent dispenser

WARNING!

Risk of poisoning and injury!

Some dishwashing detergents are corrosive! Ingestion can lead to death! Also avoid eye and skin contact and always keep dishwashing liquid away from children and pets!

Chemical components of detergents

The chemical ingredients that make up commercially available dishwashing detergents are necessary to remove and dissolve all soiling and rinse it out of the appliance.

Cleaning products labelled as "organic" or "eco" usually only contain small amounts of environmentally harmful active ingredients.

The cleaning effect may be limited as a result.

Storage and use of dishwashing detergents

• Only use detergent specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
• Keep detergent powder fresh and dry.
• Only add powder detergent to the dispenser shortly before starting a wash cycle.

Filling / refilling the detergent dispenser

Fill the detergent dispenser before each wash cycle as follows:

• Open the dispenser lid by pressing the release button (1).
• Pour the detergent for the main wash cycle into the large detergent compartment of the dispenser (2, A). The amount depends on the degree of soiling of the dishes and may vary.
  Follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

- For a better cleaning result, especially with heavy soiling, add some detergent into the small detergent compartment of the dispenser for the pre-wash phase (2, A).

- Close the flap and press it firmly, so that the latch engages (3).

2.7 Loading dishes

6.4 Positioning of the appliance

General notes on positioning

ATTENTION! Risk of damage!

Moisture escaping from the appliance (e.g. steam when opened the door after operation) can damage furniture parts and surfaces surrounding the appliance! Protect them adequately against moisture, especially the underside of the worktop in the case of sub-installation!

• Choose an installation position for the dishwasher near the existing inlet and drain hoses and power supply.
  Note: When building in the appliance, it may be necessary to cut a hole in the opposite cabinet side for the electrical connection, depending on where your socket is located.

Free-standing position or sub-installation

• The appliance is suitable for free-standing positioning as well as for substructure (e.g. for installation under a worktop).
• The laminated surface of the fitted cover plate as standard is heat-resistant, scratch-resistant and dirt-repellent and it requires no special care.
  It is therefore ideal as an appliance surface for free-standing positioning of the appliance.

- For sub-/installation, you can remove the pre-assembled cover plate from the top of the appliance by loosening the screws on the back of the appliance below the cover plate (A).

This will reduce the appliance height by 3 cm. Tighten the screws again after removing the cover plate (B).

- Follow the further notes and instructions in the following sections according to the desired type of installation.

Free-standing installation of the appliance

• Align the dishwasher so that its back rests against the wall behind it and the sides along adjacent furniture or walls.
• Fit the water inlet and outlet hoses on the right or left to ensure proper installation.

Fitting the appliance between pieces of furniture or other appliances

The height of the dishwasher was designed in order to allow the appliance to be fitted between existing cabinets of the same height in modern fitted kitchens.

- If necessary, adjust the height of the dishwasher accordingly by adjusting the screw height of the feet, as described in the relevant section.

6 Space between appliance door and cabinet

6.5 Levelling and height adjustment / adjustment of the levelling feet

The dishwasher must be level to be able to guarantee a proper washing performance and dish rack operation. To ensure this, proceed as follows:

• Check the horizontal alignment of the appliance from side to side and from front to back by placing a spirit level crosswise and lengthwise on the upper edges of the appliance, or at the bottom of the washing chamber as shown in the illustration.
• If this is not the case, level the dishwasher horizontally by adjusting the heights of the levelling feet individually, as described in the following section.

Height adjustment of the levelling feet

There are 4 feet integrated into the base of the dishwasher, which can be unscrewed individually to level the dishwasher on uneven or non-level surfaces. On delivery, these are still completely screwed in.

To adjust each foot height individually, proceed as follows:

- Adjust the respective height of the foot by lifting the appliance slightly on the relevant side and screwing it out by hand or with a flat screwdriver to the desired height as shown in the illustration.

ATTENTION!

Risk of damage!

To avoid damage, make sure that the appliance cannot not tip over and that the angle of inclination of the appliance does not exceed 2^ when adjusting the foot heights!

- Check that the appliance is correctly positioned and readjust if necessary.
