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.

natural_image Illustration of a hand holding a faucet with a valve, showing a curved arrow indicating rotation (no text or symbols)

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.

Water outlet hose

The water drain hose can be connected either directly to the water drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot. Using a special bent pipe (if available), the water can be drained directly into the sink via hooking the bent pipe over the edge of the sink.

This connection should be at a minimum of 50cm and at a maximum of 110 cm from the floor plane.

Warning: When a drain hose longer than 4m is used, the dishes might remain dirty. In that case, our company will not accept responsibility.

Electrical connection

The earthed plug of your machine should be connected to an earthed outlet supplied by suitable voltage and current. If there is no earthing installation, have a competent electrician carry out an earthing installation. In case of usage without earthing installed, our company will not be responsible for any loss of usage that might occur.

The indoor fuse current value should be 10-16 A.

Your machine is set according to 220-240 V. If the mains voltage in your location is 110 V, connect a transformer of 110/220 V and 3000 W in between. The machine should not be plugged in during positioning.

Always use the coated plug supplied with your machine.

Running in low voltage will cause a decline in washing quality.

The machine's electrical cable should be replaced by an authorised person or an authorised electrician only. Failure to do so may lead to accidents.

For safety purposes, always make sure to disconnect the plug when a wash programme is finished.

In order not to cause an electric shock, do not unplug when your hands are wet.

When disconnecting your machine from the mains supply, always pull from the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

Fitting the machine undercounter

If you wish to fit your machine undercounter, check whether you have sufficient space under your countertop and whether the wiring-plumbing is suitable to do so. If you decide that the space under the countertop is suitable for fitting your machine, remove the worktop as shown in the illustration. To remove the worktop, remove the screws that hold the worktop which are located at the rear of the machine; then push the front panel 1cm from the front side towards the rear and lift it.

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.

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.

the larger compartment b 25cm 3 if your dishes are heavily soiled or 15 cm 3 if they are less soiled. If your dishes have been kept dirty for a very long time, if there are dried food wastes on them, and if you have overly loaded the dishwasher, pour a 5cm 3 detergent into the machine.

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 BDW3456X - 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 compartments.
• Make the suitable rinse aid setting.

Filling with rinse aid and making the setting

BLANCO BDW3456X - Filling with rinse aid and making the setting - 1

natural_image Hand turning a knob on a control panel with a numbered dial (no text or symbols)

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 becomes 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 comes dark; 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 b 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.

Diagram illustrating a soldering process with labeled components and directional arrows, including a numbered step indicator.

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 as 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.

Top basket

Spray arms

Check whether or not the holes for the upper and lower spray arms are clogged. If there is any clogging, remove the spray arms and clean them under water.

You can remove the lower spray arm by pulling it upwards, while the upper spray arm nut can be removed by turning the nut to the left.

Be sure that the nut is perfectly tightened when refitting the upper spray arm.

Hose filter

Water is prevented by the inlet hose filter 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. Check the filter and the hose from time to time and clean them if necessary. To clean the filter, first turn off your tap and then remove the hose. After removing the filter from the hose, clean it under the tap. Insert the cleaned filter back into its place inside the hose. Refit the hose.
