Troubleshooting

Instruction for use

“Intelligent Dialogue” is

the new programme for

free-standing appliances

from Bauknecht. New

intelligent and practical

functions allow more free

time for the things that

are really important in

life.

The new “Intelligent

Dialogue” dishwasher from

Bauknecht, with its direct

dialogue between man and

machine, represent a whole

new approach to operating

appliances. The new

“Intelligent Dialogue”

dishwasher from Bauknecht

speaks a completely new

appliance language. The

electronic LCD display guide

you in a focused and user-

friendly manner through all

the wash cycles and wash

functions and even actively

assist should problems arise.

Due to an innovative

interval-based washing

system, the new dishwashers

achieve better performance

with decreased consumption

of water and power. Stated

clearly: only 13 litres of water

for a cycle length that has

been reduced to 110

minutes.

The new LCD display willingly

provides information: it

“tells” how to correctly

programme the appliance,

continuously indicates cycle

lengths and time remaining,

and monitors the wash

process from start to finish.

In addition, the dishwasher’s

memory function

immediately saves, for the

next time, the most recent

wash cycle selected. And that

is not all Intelligent Dialogue

is capable of: the appliance

provides hints and tips on

how to remove stubborn

grime from kitchenware plus

a “help programme” and

suggestions on how to fix

faults. In case it should be

required, the LCD display,

also provides the telephone

number of the customer

service contact.

Thanks to proven, patented

Dynamic Sense Technology,

“senses” all on its own, just

how much water, time and

energy the dishwasher

requires in order to produce

a spotless result each time. In

this way water and energy

consumption can be reduced

by up to 30%. The

environment and your purse

will thank you for it.

You are sure to enjoy your

quality Bauknecht purchase

for a long time to come!

Navigation system:

An advanced dual sensor technology optimising all resources while guaranteeing best

washing results.

DYNAMIC

SENSE

The dual sensor technology:

Real evaluation of water dirtiness

- Transmission signal measures liquid dirt

- Reflection signal measures solid dirt

Continuous sensing:

- Every 10 seconds, a new measurement is taken

- The machine continuously adapts the program according to

the level of dirtiness in the water.

Easy to use No risk in selecting the wrong program:

Your machine will decide on the washing parameters by

itself.

No more need to clean by

hand

Even your dirtiest pots and pans (burnt on and dried on)

will come out perfectly clean with the sensor Intensive

programme.

Maximum savings The dual sensor system will detect when your load is

perfectly clean and stop the programme. You will use only

the amount of water, energy and time that is necessary.

Benefits

Programmes

AutoIntensive 60°-70°

This programme is highly recommended for your

most heavily soiled items (no more need to clean

them by hand)

It is especially adapted to all types of burnt on

and encrusted pots & pans. It should be also used

in case of dried on loads.

Anti-bacterial

Recommended for normally or heavily soiled

crockery, this programme features an additional

antibacterial action. For maximum antibacterial

effectiveness the programme must not be

interrupted (e.g. by opening the appliance door).

Gentle 40°

Use this programme for delicate items sensitive to

high temperatures, for example crystal.

Eco 50°

This programme includes an extra rinse cycle, and

is therefore recommended for heavily soiled

dishes. We recommend use of enzymatic

detergents.

AutoNormal 40°-55°

This programme is highly recommended for your

daily use. It’s especially adapted to your normally

soiled loads.

Express 30’ - 40°

Use this 30 minute programme for lightly soiled

dishes with no dried-on food or grease (butter, oil,

lard).

Tips for obtaining best results

To ensure best results and

avoid any damage, it is

essential to load your

dishwasher properly.

Your dishwasher requires

periodical (but regular) care;

this will ensure dishes are

always perfectly clean and

will avoid any damage to the

appliance.

Ensure items of dishes do not

rub against each other and

that ceramic products do not

touch other dishes.

Detergents/Rinse aid

Only use detergents and

rinse aids specially

recommended for use in

domestic dishwashers.

Use only the recommended

amount of detergent and

rinse aid. The amount

depends on the type and

degree of soiling and on the

level of water hardness (as a

general rule, use more

detergent for heavily soiled

loads and for very hard

water). Follow the detergent

manufacturer’s directions.

If using a phosphate-free

detergent set the water

hardness selector to a higher

position than indicated in the

user instructions.

The detergent packaging

must be kept closed and

stored in a cool, dry place: if

exposed to humidity for a

prolonged period of time,

the detergent deteriorates

and can no longer be used.

Regularly check the level of

rinse aid in the dispenser in

order to obtain sparkling

clean dishes. The rinse aid

gives dishes an added shine

during the drying cycle and

prevents the formation of

unsightly spots and streaks.

Salt

Regularly check there is

sufficient regeneration salt in

the container to ensure wash

water is softened. Only use

additive-free regeneration

salt for domestic

dishwashers.

Manufacturer’s

instructions

Always read the dishes

manufacturer’s instructions

before washing. Some types

of crystal may become dull

with repeated washing.

Labels

Remove any adhesive labels

from dishes since these might

detach during the wash cycle

and cause clogging. Labels

and glue might also be

deposited on the spray arm

or pump, reducing the

performance of your

dishwasher.

Filterig system

For perfect operation, ensure

the dishwasher filter is

always clean. Clean the filter

regularly.

Energy-saving tips

DYNAMIC

SENSE

The sensor programmes

continuously measure the

water dirtiness and adapt the

temperature, water and

program duration

accordingly, using only the

resource amount that is

really necessary to leave the

dishes clean.

If you have a reduced tariff

for electricity at night and

would like to save money,

avoid costly use of the

appliance during the day,

preferring to switch on at

night. Use the Start Delay

option.

Avoid allowing food to dry

onto dishes: this will allow

you to use a wash

programme with a lower

temperature.

If possible, always wash with

a full load. Bear in mind that

water consumption for a half

load is the same, except

when you use the Half-Load

Option and Dynamic Sense

programmes.

Preparing and loading dishes

Remove any food leftovers

such as bones, or toothpicks

and any other objects. It is

not necessary to rinse plates

before placing them in the

dishwasher.

Arrange dishes in such a way

that will allow for uniform

water distribution.

Bowls, soup plates and other

concave items (e.g. cups,

glasses etc.) must be loaded

downwards so that the

surface to be washed faces

the spray arms.

Make sure that lids, handles,

pans and trays do not block

the spray arm rotation The

upper rack can be raised to

avoid this happening.

If loading heavy pans or

saucepans in your

dishwasher, take care not to

drop them since this could

damage the steel of the door

or the plate holders.

If you do not have a full load,

you can avoid the formation

of unpleasant odours by

running a cold pre-wash. Do

not use detergent in this

case.

To avoid damage or

breakages, arrange china,

crystal and other delicate

items so that they do not

touch.

When loading the

dishwasher, ensure any sharp

objects cannot damage the

door seal. To obtain the best

wash results, arrange cutlery

and knives too if possible

with handles positioned

downwards. Take

precautions, however, to

ensure that children cannot

touch them.

Tips for washing special materials

Dishwasher-

suitable materials

Always check the dishes

manufacturer’s

instructions before

washing in a dishwasher.

Aluminium

High wash temperatures and

concentrated detergent can

damage the finish of some

types of aluminium.

China/Earthenware

Antique decorations, hand-

painted details and gold rims

can fade or disappear.

Crystal

Some types of lead crystal

can become dull with

repeated washing in a

dishwasher. You can minimise

this effect by selecting low

temperature wash cycles.

Glass

Opaline glass yellows with

repeated washing.

Plastic materials

Different plastics react

differently to high

temperatures and

detergents. We recommend

you place plastic items in the

upper rack.

Materials not

suitable for your

dishwasher

Cast iron

The iron rusts and the

coating detaches.

Knives with hollow

handles

Some knives have glued-on

handles, which can detach

during washing in a

dishwasher.

Tin, copper, silver

High temperatures and

detergents can result in

tarnishing and damaging to

the surface of tin, copper and

silver.

Disposable plastic cutlery

Does not withstand high

temperatures and detergents.

Tin plate

May rust.

Wooden utensils

We recommend you wash

these by hand. Read the

utensil manufacturer’s

instructions before washing

in the dishwasher. Untreated

wood may buckle, break or

deteriorate.

Bottles and cans

Must be washed by hand.
