Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
This is a fully integrated dishwasher, meaning it's designed to be hidden behind a kitchen cabinet door panel that matches your existing cabinetry.
- Professional Installation Recommended: Due to its integrated nature, professional installation is highly recommended to ensure correct plumbing, electrical connection, and seamless integration with your kitchen units.
- Cabinet Door: A custom kitchen cabinet door panel (not included) will need to be affixed to the dishwasher door for a flush, handle-free look facilitated by the Door Open Assist mechanism.
- Leveling: Ensure the appliance is perfectly level to prevent water leakage and ensure proper door closure and wash performance.
Compatibility
- Home Connect: Requires a stable Wi-Fi connection (2.4 GHz) in your home and a smartphone or tablet with the Home Connect app installed (available on iOS and Android). Ensure your Wi-Fi router is within range and provides adequate signal strength to the dishwasher's location.
- Water & Power: Standard plumbing and electrical connections are required. Consult the installation manual for precise requirements.
Care and Maintenance
Regular care ensures optimal performance and longevity.
- Machine Care Programme: Utilize the dedicated Machine Care programme regularly (e.g., monthly) with a dishwasher cleaner to deep clean the interior, remove grease, and prevent limescale build-up.
- Filter Cleaning: Periodically check and clean the filters at the bottom of the dishwasher to remove food debris. Refer to your user manual for instructions on how to remove and clean them properly.
- Spray Arms: Ensure the spray arm nozzles are clear of obstructions. If blocked, remove the spray arms and rinse them under running water.
- Exterior Cleaning: As it's integrated, only the internal edges of the appliance and the control panel (if visible) will need cleaning. Use a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Salt and Rinse Aid: Regularly check and refill dishwasher salt and rinse aid dispensers as indicated by the appliance's indicators. This is crucial for water softening (salt) and spotless, streak-free drying (rinse aid), especially important for Zeolith drying.
