Frequently Asked Questions - BDW8345X BLANCO

What type of detergent should I use?
Use a detergent specifically designed for domestic dishwashers, available as powder, gel, or tablets. Combined detergents (2-in-1, 3-in-1, etc.) can be used but may require adding rinse aid separately for best results.
How do I adjust the rinse aid setting?
The rinse aid dispenser has a dial with settings 1 to 6 (factory default is 3). Turn it to a higher number if water stains appear, or lower if a blue film is left on dishes.
What do I do if the dishwasher doesn't start?
Check that the appliance is plugged in, the indoor fuse is intact, the water tap is open, the door is fully closed, and the machine is switched on. Also ensure filters and water inlet filter are not clogged.
How do I resolve error code 'F5'?
Error F5 indicates inadequate water supply. Ensure the water tap is fully open and there is no water cut. Turn off the tap, disconnect the hose, clean the filter at the hose connection, and restart. If the error persists, contact service.
Can I wash my pots and pans in the lower basket?
Yes, the lower basket is designed for larger items like pots, pans, plates, and cutlery. Use the foldable racks to accommodate bulky items.
How do I activate the child lock?
Press and hold the '+' and '–' buttons on the remaining time indicator simultaneously for 3 seconds. 'CL' will appear for 2 seconds. Repeat to deactivate.
What should I do if dishes are not drying properly?
Ensure the selected program includes a drying step (short programs may not). Increase the rinse aid setting, unload dishes after the 'End' lamp lights, and open the door slightly to allow steam to escape.
How often should I clean the filters?
Clean the filters at least once a week. Remove and rinse the micro, coarse, and metal/plastic filters under running water. Never operate the dishwasher without filters properly installed.
What items are not dishwasher safe?
Do not wash wooden, bone, ivory, or nacre-coated items, non-heat-resistant plastics, copper, tin, aluminum, silver, delicate crystal, antique porcelain, or absorbent items like sponges. Always check manufacturer labels.
How do I fit the dishwasher under a counter?
Remove the worktop by unscrewing the rear screws, push the front panel 1 cm back, and lift it off. Adjust the feet for leveling, then slide the machine into the undercounter space, ensuring hoses and cord are not crushed.

INSTALLING THE MACHINE

Positioning the machine

When determining the place to put your machine on, take care to choose a place where you can easily load and unload your dishes.

Do not put your machine in any location where there is the probability for the room temperature to fall below 0° C.

Before positioning, take the machine out of its packaging by following the warnings located on the package.

Position the machine close to a water tap or drain. You need to site your machine, taking into consideration that its connections will not be altered once they are made.

Do not grip the machine by its door or panel in order to move it.

Take care to leave a certain clearance from all sides of the machine so that you can comfortably move it back and forth during cleaning.

Make sure that the water inlet and outlet hoses do not get squeezed while positioning the machine. Also, make sure that the machine does not stand on the electrical cable.

Adjust the machine's adjustable feet so that it can stand level and balanced. Proper positioning of the machine ensures problem-free opening and closing of its door.

If the door of you machine does not close properly, check if the machine is stable on the floor it stands; if not, adjust the adjustable feet and ensure its stable position.

Water connection

Be sure that the indoor plumbing is suitable for installing a dishwasher. Also, we recommend that you fit a filter at the entrance of your place or apartment so as to avoid any damage to your machine because of any contamination (sand, clay, rust etc.) that might be occasionally carried in through the mains water supply or the indoor plumbing, and to forestall such complaints as yellowing and formation of deposits after washing.

Water inlet hose

Do not use the water inlet hose of your old machine, if any. Use the new water inlet hose supplied with your machine instead. If you are going to connect a new or long - unused water inlet hose to your machine , run water through it for a while before making the connection. Connect the water inlet hose directly to the water inlet tap. The pressure supplied by the tap should be at a minimum of 0.03 Mpa and and at a maximum of 1 Mpa. If the water pressure is above 1 Mpa, a pressure-relief valve should be fitted inbetween.

After the connections are made, the tap should be turned on fully and checked for water tightness. For the safety of your machine, make sure to always turn off the water inlet tap after each wash programme is finished.

PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

Prior to using the machine for the first time

  • Check whether the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated by the installation instructions for the machine.
  • Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.
    • Fill the rinse aid compartment.

Warning: Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline.

They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.

Detergent usage

Use a detergent specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers.

You can find powder, gel, and tablet detergents in the market that have been designed for household dishwashers.

Detergent should be put into the compartment prior to starting the machine. Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of your children.

Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise it may cause scratches on your glasses as well as lead to a poorly dissolved detergent.

Should you need more information concerning the detergent you will use, contact detergent manufacturers directly.

You may have to add more detergent into your machine, depending on the degree of soil.

Combined detergent

Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents called "2 in 1", "3 in 1" or "5 in 1" etc.

“2 in 1” detergents contain detergent or rinse aid. When using “2 in 1” detergents make sure to check the specifications of the tablet.

Other tablet detergents contain detergent + rinse aid + various extra functions.

Generally, combined detergents produce sufficient results under certain usage conditions only. Such detergents contain rinse aid in preset amounts.

Points to consider when using this type of products:

- Always make sure to check the specifications of the product you will use or whether or not it is a combined product.

  • Observe the instructions on packagings when using such products.
  • If such detergents are in the form of tablets, never put them into the interior section or the cutlery basket of the dishwasher. Always put the tablets into the detergent compartment in the detergent dispenser.
  • They produce good results for certain types of usage only. If you are using this type of detergents, you need to contact the manufacturers and find out about the suitable conditions of use.
  • When the conditions of use of such products and the machine settings are appropriate, they ensure savings in rinse aid consumption.
  • Contact the detergent manufacturers if you are not obtaining good wash results (if your dishes stay calcareous and wet) after having used 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 detergents. The scope of warranty for your machine does not cover any complaints caused by the use of these types of detergents.

Recommended usage: If you want to obtain better results while using combined detergents, add rinse aid into your machine and adjust the rinse aid setting to the lowest position.

BLANCO BDW8345X - Points to consider when using this type of products: - 1

Solubility of the tablet detergents produced by different companies can vary depending on the temperature and time. Therefore, it is not recommended to use such detergents in short programs. It is more suitable to use powder detergents in such programs.

Warning: Should any problem, which you have not encountered before, arise with the use of this type of detergents, contact the detergent manufacturers directly.

When you give up using combined detergents

- Fill the rinse aid compartment.

- Run an empty-wash.

• Make the suitable rinse aid setting

Filling with rinse aid and making the setting

natural_image Hand turning a button with an arrow, no text or symbols visible

Rinse aid is used to prevent the stay of white water drops, lime stains, white film strip-shaped stains that may form on the dishes, as well as to increase the drying performance. Contrary to the popular beliefs, it is used not only for obtaining shinier dishes but also for obtaining sufficiently dried dishes. For this reason, care should be taken that there is adequate amount of rinse aid in the rinse aid compartment and only polishing material produced for use at dishwashers should be used.

If the rinse aid lamp on the control panel comes on fill the rinse aid compartment with rinse.

To put rinse aid in, remove the rinse aid compartment cap by turning it. Fill the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid until the rinse aid level indicator becomes dark;2 refit the cap and close it by turning it in a way that the nails will correspond to one another. By checking the rinse aid level indicator on the detergent dispenser, you can understand whether or not your machine needs rinse aid. A dark indicator means that there is rinse aid in the compartment, while a light indicator e shows that you need to fill the compartment with

rinse aid.

The rinse aid level adjuster can be set to a position between 1 and 6. Factory setting for rinse aid is the position 3. You need to increase the degree of the adjuster if water stains form on your dishes after a wash, whereas you need to decrease the degree if a blue stain is left when wiped by hand.

Warning: Use only those rinse aid materials which are allowed for use in the machine. As rinse aid residues left as a result of overflowing will create extremely high amounts of foam and thus reduce the washing performance, remove the excess amount of rinse aid by wiping it with a rag.

LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

If you properly place your dishes into the machine, you will be using it in the best way in terms of energy consumption, washing and drying performance.

There are two separate baskets for you to load your dishes into your machine. You can load into the lower basket such round and deep items as pots with long handles, pot lids, plates, salad plates, cutlery sets.

The upper basket has been designed for tea plates, dessert plates, salad bowls, cups and glasses. When placing long-stem glasses and goblets, lean them against the basket edge, rack or glass supporter wire and not against other items. Do not lean long glasses against one another or they cannot remain steady and may receive damage.

It is more appropriate to locate the thin narrow parts into the middle sections of baskets. You can place spoons among the other cutlery sets in order to prevent them from sticking to one another. You are recommended to use the cutlery grid in order to obtain the best result. To avoid any possible injuries, always place such long-handle and sharp-pointed dishes as serving fork, bread knife etc. with their sharp points facing down or horizontally on the baskets.

Warning: Place your dishes into your machine in a way that they will not prevent the upper and lower spray arms from spinning.
