Frequently Asked Questions - LDW45S12 Logik

What should I do if the dishwasher won't start?

Check that the door is properly closed, the unit is connected to the mains, and the ON/OFF button is pressed. If the drain pump is not working or fault code E4 appears, disconnect the power and water, then call a qualified technician.

How do I adjust the rinse aid dosage?

Locate the rinse aid reservoir dial. The factory setting is '4'. If dishes are spotted or not drying properly, turn the dial to a higher number (up to 6). Turn to a lower number if there is smearing.

How often should I clean the filters?

Check the filters regularly and clean them under running water when clogged. Follow the steps: turn the coarse filter anti-clockwise, lift it out, then lift out the fine filter. Rinse all parts and reassemble in reverse order. Never operate the dishwasher without filters.

What items should not be washed in the dishwasher?

Do not wash towels, sponges, crystal glasses, silverware, valuable vases, cracked china, small plastic items, cast iron pans, scratched non-stick cookware, copper pots, wooden items, or plastics not marked dishwasher-safe.

How do I use the delay start feature?

Load dishes, turn on the unit, select a programme, then press the Delay Start button repeatedly to set the delay in 1-hour increments up to 24 hours. Close the door; the dishwasher will start automatically at the set time.

What does the 'Half Load' option do?

The Half Load option saves water and electricity when you have fewer dishes. After selecting a programme, press the 1/2 button. The indicator light will illuminate, and the cycle will run with reduced consumption.

How do I add salt and adjust salt consumption?

Remove the lower basket, unscrew the salt reservoir cap, fill with approx. 500 ml water (first use only), then add about 1.2 kg dishwasher salt using the funnel. Clean any excess, screw cap on, and run a Rapid programme immediately. Adjust the consumption selector based on water hardness (see chart in manual).

Why are there water spots on my glassware?

Spots are usually caused by insufficient rinse aid or hard water. Try increasing the rinse aid dosage, refilling the rinse aid reservoir, or adjusting salt consumption. Also ensure the rinse aid dispenser is set correctly and the salt reservoir is full.

What should I do if the dishwasher displays error code E1?

E1 indicates the water tap is turned off or water pressure is too low. Turn on the water tap fully. If the problem persists, the flow meter may be broken or wire terminals loose. Disconnect from mains and call a qualified technician.

How do I clean the spray arms?

Check the spray arm jets regularly for food particles. Use a pointed object like a cocktail stick to loosen debris. Do not attempt to remove the spray arms. Ensure they rotate freely after cleaning.

Location

When selecting a position for your slimline dishwasher you should make sure the installation surface is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated. Avoid locating your dishwasher near a heat source, eg. cooker, boiler or radiator. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly. This dishwasher is not designed for use in a garage or outdoor installation.

Do not drape the dishwasher with any covering. When installing, ensure that free space is left at the sides.

All parts removed must be saved to do the reinstallation in the future. Ensure the dishwasher is unplugged and empty. We recommend that 2 people handle the dishwasher during installation.

1. Please ensure the dishwasher is installed by a qualified technician. Refer to the tools required.

Illustration of various office tools including screwdriver, scissors, pencil, clip, and door panel (no text or symbols)

1. Ensure there is clearance each side of the unit to allow slight sideways movement for servicing when required. Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. When the unit is correctly levelled, the door should not catch the inner liner on either side of the cabinet. The adjustable feet may be loosened or tightened in order to obtain the optimum levelling of the unit.

INSTALLATION

1. If required, the worktop of the dishwasher can be removed. The height without the worktop is 820 mm, the minimum dimensions required to accommodate the dishwasher within fitted kitchen furniture units.

Do not connect the unit to the mains socket before installation. Ensure you are not installing the unit right in front of the mains socket. This is to avoid potential damage to the back of the unit.

1. The condensation strip must be fitted to the underside of the worktop above your dishwasher to protect it against any moisture. Its purpose is to protect your worktop's underside from steam rising from the dishwasher.

2. Ensure the surface is clean prior to sticking the condensation strip to the underside of the worktop.

3. Remove the backing paper from the condensation strip.

- Stick the condensation strip to the underside of the worktop.

Failure to attach the condensation strip could result in damage to the underside of your worktop!

1. The worktop can be removed by removing the fixing screws located at the rear of the dishwasher. After removing the screws, lift and push the worktop forward to release the lugs from the front section of the dishwasher. The polystyrene block and the lugs should be saved for future use.

INSTALLATION

1. Position the dishwasher next to a water tap and a drain. Ensure the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed. The unit must not stand on the mains cable.

1. Make sure your plumbing is suitable for use with the dishwasher. If in doubt contact a qualified plumber. This unit MUST BE connected to COLD WATER MAINS using the new water inlet hose. OLD HOSE SETS MUST NOT BE RE-USED. The water pressure from the water mains needs to be at a minimum of 0.04 MPa and a maximum of 1.00MPa.

2. Connect one end of the safety water supply hose to your dishwasher, and then connect the other end of the hose to your water mains. Please ensure the black rubber seal is in place.
   • After connecting the hose, turn on your water mains and check for leaks.

3. Connect the dishwasher to the mains socket.

You may use a Y-adaptor (not included) for an additional water feed for another appliance, for example a washing machine. This is only applicable for cold water mains. A Y-adaptor is available from most DIY stores.

- Do not bend your drain hose.

Items Not Suitable for Use in the Dishwasher

When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, please make sure they are dishwasher-proof. Some items are not suitable for dishwashers.

• Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher.
  • Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware are also not suitable for dishwashers.
• Plastic items (e.g. tupperware) which are not heat resistant may melt or loose shape due to the high temperature in the dishwasher.
  • Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items may discolour or become matt.
• Clouding may occur on glasses and delicate glassware after frequent washing. Do not wash delicate glassware, or glassware containing lead crystal in a dishwasher. Wash delicate glassware by hand instead.
  • Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Residues like egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore, please clean the residues from silver immediately after use.
  * All images are for reference only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.

Adding Detergent or Detergent Tablet

Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. To be more environmentally friendly, please use no more than the correct amount of detergent.

Please follow the steps below to fill the detergent dispenser.

• Keep out of the reach of children
• Irritating to eyes.

• Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
  • If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.

• Push the button on the lid of the detergent dispenser in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

• Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent powder or insert the detergent tablet. The marking indicates the filling level.

• Close the lid firmly so that it clicks into place.

You can choose to add a detergent tablet alone or to add detergent powder to both the main wash detergent chamber and the pre-wash detergent chamber for your selected wash cycle. All programmes with pre-wash need an additional detergent dosage that must be placed in the pre-wash detergent chamber (please refer to the wash cycle table). This detergent will take effect during the pre-wash phase.

* All images are for reference only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.

Rinse aid helps to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Only pour rinse aid that is for domestic dishwashers into the reservoir. This model is designed to use liquid rinse aids only.

Please follow the steps below to pour the rinse aid into the storage reservoir, and the amount will dispense automatically.

1. Turn the cap and open as indicated.

1. When the cap open marking is aligned, you may lift the cap up.

1. Pour the rinse aid in until the level indicator turns completely black in colour and close the cap.

Line drawing of a kitchen appliance with ventilation slots and control knob (no text or symbols)

1. Be careful not to overfill the reservoir. Wipe up any spills. The approximate volume of the rinse aid reservoir is 110ml.

If the water hardness in your area is soft, you may not need rinse aid as it may cause white film to develop on your dishes.

Rinse aid warning light will illuminate when the reservoir is running out of rinse aid and requires refilling.

Alternatively, you can judge the amount of rinse aid by checking the rinse aid indicator right next to the reservoir's cap. When the indicator is black, it means it is full. When it is clear, it means it is almost empty.

Adjusting the Rinse Aid Reservoir

The rinse aid reservoir has six settings. Both the recommended setting and the factory setting is "4." If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free.

* All images are for reference only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.

Adding Salt

If the water in your area is hard, deposits will form on your dishes and utensils. This appliance contains a salt reservoir for you to reduce the hardness of the water.

Please follow the steps below to pour the salt into the salt reservoir and it must be set to correspond to the water hardness level in your area.

1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.

1. Fill the reservoir with approximately 500ml of water (first use only).
2. Place the funnel provided over the salt reservoir.

Diagram of a funnel pouring liquid into a circular mechanical component (no text or symbols)

1. Pour in approximately 1.2kg of dishwasher salt depending on the brand used.
2. Clean any excess salt from around the reservoir opening and then screw the cap on again firmly.
3. Run the "rapid" wash programme immediately (without any crockery in the dishwasher) to remove any traces of salt from the compartment.

The salt warning light will illuminate when the reservoir is running out of salt and requires re-filling.

The salt warning light will cease to illuminate within a few days depending on how quickly the salt dissolves.

* All images are for reference only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

Salt consumption must be adjusted to correspond to the water hardness level in your area. If you don't know how hard the water in your home is, please ask the company that supplies water in your area. It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following chart.

Water Hardness				Selector Position	Salt Consumption (gram/cycle)	Number of cycle / 1.2 kgs
°dh °fh	Clark mmol/l
0-8 0-14	0-10 0-1.4	/0/
8-22 14-39	10-28 1.4	-3.9 - 20 60
22-45 39-80	28-56 3.9	-8 Mid		40 30
>45	>80	>56	>8	+	60	20

1 °dh (German degree) = 0.178mmol/l
1 °fh (French degree) = 0.1 mmol/l
1 °Clark (British degree) = 0.142mmol/l

• Do not use everyday table salt or cooking salt as they contain insoluble substances which could damage the dishwasher.
• Do not pour detergent into the salt container. This will damage the dishwasher.

To optimise and customise the level of salt consumption, please follow the steps below to adjust the salt consumption.

1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
2. There is an arrow-shaped indicator in the reservoir, which you can turn. You may turn it to the "-" or "+" settings based on the water hardness in your area.

* All images are for reference only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.

Starting a Wash Cycle

Please follow the steps below to start a wash cycle.

1. Ensure the unit is connected to the mains power and the water supply is on (water pressure between 0.04MPa and 1.00MPa).
2. Open the door. Pull out the lower and upper baskets, load the dishes and push the baskets back. It is recommended that the lower basket is loaded first, and then the upper basket.
3. Pour in the detergent or place the detergent tablet in the detergent compartment and close firmly afterwards.
4. Close the dishwasher door. A click should be heard when the door is closed correctly. Do not slam the door.
5. Press the ON/OFF button, and the ON/OFF indicator light will illuminate.
6. Select the wash cycle programme based on the loading and soil requirements. Please refer to the "Wash Cycle Table" (page 13).
7. The indicator light of the selected programme will illuminate.
8. The washing cycle will begin shortly.

If you open the dishwasher door during the washing cycle and then close it, the dishwasher will continue the current washing programme after 10 seconds. However, if the door is not closed correctly after 1 minute, the dishwasher will make an audible sound at 1 minute intervals.

Changing a Programme

To change the programme if the washing cycle has already started, follow the steps below.

1. Open the door slightly to check if the unit has dispensed the detergent or detergent tablet. This will depend on how long the washing cycle was running for.
2. If the detergent dispenser lid is opened, we suggest that you allow the wash cycle to finish.
3. If the detergent dispenser lid is still closed, shut the door and press and hold down the programme button for 3 or more seconds to cancel the programme. You can then press the required new programme button. The unit will start the new the washing cycle shortly.
   OR

Press the required new programme button for more than 3 seconds to change the running programme. The unit will start the new washing cycle shortly.

1. The display window shows the state of the dishwasher.

a. “--:--” means the unit is on stand by mode.
b. "H:MM" and not flashing means the unit is on pause.
c. "H:MM" and flashing means the unit is running.

At the End of a Programme

At the end of a programme, the dishwasher will beep.

The condensation strip helps to prevent the risk of steam damage to the worktop edging above the dishwasher, it is advisable to leave the door closed until you are ready to unload the crockery. However, you can also open the dishwasher door fully and wait until the dishes and crockery are cool enough to unload. Do not leave the door only partially open.

Switching Off the Unit

To save energy, remember to switch the dishwasher off using the ON/OFF button. The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until it is switched off with the ON/OFF button.

If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a long period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday, disconnect the unit from the mains supply.

Unloading the Dishwasher

Allowing dishes to cool down before unloading is important as dishes tend to break and chip more easily when they are hot. Therefore, if you open the dishwasher door fully after switching off, it will allow the dishes to cool down much faster.

We suggest:

Unload the lower basket first, followed by the cutlery basket and then the upper basket.

This will prevent water drops from the upper basket from falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

Delay Start

The starting time of a washing programme can be delayed and adjusted. Please follow the steps below.

1. Open the dishwasher door and load your soiled dishes and crockery.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the dishwasher.
3. Select your preferred programme.
4. Press the Delay / Start button.
5. Set the required delay start time using the Delay / Start button.
6. Close the door and the unit will start the programme at the assigned time automatically.

Each press of this button increases the delay start time by 1 hour increments.

Half Load

In case you do not have enough dishes for a full load, the half load option can be selected for washing. This will save hot water and electricity usage. Please follow the steps below.

1. Open the dishwasher door and load your soiled dishes and crockery.
2. Close the dishwasher door and then press the ON/OFF button to turn on the dishwasher.
3. Select your preferred programme.
4. Press the 1/2 button.
5. The unit will start the programme shortly.

* All images are for reference only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.

External Care

The Door and the Door Seal

1. Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits.
2. When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms. Any deposits should be wiped off before the door is closed.

The Control Panel

If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth ONLY.

• To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they may scratch the finish. Some paper towels may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

Internal Care

Filtering System

The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the washing cycle. The collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary under running water.

Follow the steps below to clean the filters in the wash cabinet.

1. Ensure the dishwasher is switched off.
2. Turn the coarse filter anti-clockwise and gently lift it out.
3. Gently lift the fine filter with care.
4. Rinse all the filters under running water, including the filter cylinder, and then refit all filters in the reverse order.
5. Gently refit the main filter back with care.
6. Gently rescrew the coarse filter in clockwise direction. There will be a slight click when located correctly.

• Do not over tighten the filters. Put the filters back in the filter cylinder in sequence securely, otherwise the residue could get into the system and cause a blockage.
• NEVER use the dishwasher without the filters in place. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Spray Arms

Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be checked and cleaned regularly.

- Use a pointed object, eg. a cocktail stick, to loosen food particles in the spray arms' jets.
