1. Product description:
Everything included with the device! Aqua Stop connection-set, good manual with useful tips and a small measuring cup for the cleaners - everyone should be aware later!
The machine comes by the way of wet inside - normal due to the test run. So do not tip! As with any other dishwasher.
External processing is very good!
2. Installation:
Easy! Connecting the water via standard dishwasher connection, as the wastewater. Caution: The drain hose must not sag, then remains more residual water in the machine. The machine adjusts the way in a standard 60cm IKEA FAKTUM Base cabinet - with some skill when laying the siphon under the sink. Even the door goes to. There, the machine is barely audible.
3. Commissioning:
The machine can be set as a large water hardness via the display. The factory setting is on but 35-45dH - that needs to be changed necessarily. Here we have H4 (18-22dH). The rinse aid dosage is factory set to 4! Too much for the small. Did they set to 2. Otherwise, the machine does not wash well.
With the funnel I have filled the machine with Somat Salt (1 kg) and Somat Rinse Aid (approx 130ml). The Lid on salt container cleaned with a cloth that it closes tightly. Salt grains cause leakage! Then immediately without cleaners = remove the 30min Express program launched by remnants of the salt water (overflow when filling) and rinse aid important to precisely the problems that obviously other users here had to eliminate: Spilled salt causes corrosion (rust around the salt container) on stainless steel and rinse aid causes foaming.
4. Operation:
Easy. Switching, select program (duration appears on the display, the selected program via LED) and press Start. At the end of the machine will beep very loud, a little at night unpleasant but can not be disabled.
The detergent: DO NOT USE TABS! Way too much for this little machine.
We use only 15g Somat powder for the main flushing, and 3G for the pre-wash when the program requires it (only in ICU / Normal / ECO). The supplied measuring cup has 20g. So short time extrapolated does a pack powder cleaner for 240 wash cycles !!! Very economical.
The classification of the dish rack is good, although the tilting cup warmer could be a bit deeper - so really fit only coffee or tea cups, and no "Mugs". The plate holder can be tilted - in 3 positions: completely gone - for example, pots, half-height for large plates - which are then flat, and normal for small and normal plate.. Population is better if you take the basket out and over to the countertop. Make sure that nothing protrudes under the basket, otherwise the spray arm does not rotate! It really fit each 6 full-size dinner plates, soup plates, dessert plates, cups, saucers and glasses clean. Additionally 1 or 2 bowls it. Cutlery can be inserted individually so that nothing is together. Not suitable for this Dishwasher are extra large plates or square dishes - the one basket is just lower than in a normal dishwasher. One should also make sure that remains free of the small area in front of the cutlery basket otherwise the cleaner door opens not always!
5. programs:
The machine is very silent when flushing! Water intake and pumping are loud as a normal dishwasher!
Although 6 good programs, including a 60 ° (7 liters of water) daily fast (= Express) in 60min for non Dried normally soiled dishes, the ECO 50 ° (7 l) takes 2: 50h but washed very well. The intensive program in 2:20 at 70 ° (11 l) has dried stew remains completely eliminated, but consumes much energy and water as a Large! All programs except for the quick in 30min dry very well when the door opens shortly after the program, and lets the steam escape. After 5-10 min everything is dry. The glass program at 45 ° with 1:15 something long and has no reduced flushing pressure for really fine glass as it did the adults. Normal glasses, coffee or tea set goes well with the good can be quick in 30min at 40 °, open and dry after door. It lacks a pre-wash program (15min cold) for dishes with food waste to be flushed later.
The program duration is displayed on the display as a Time! Start time preselection up to 24 h.
6. Maintenance:
Electronic salt and rinse aid indicator. Simply top up when illuminated. Because the filter system of the machine compared to a large relatively small fails, it must be cleaned once a week (hot water run, and washing-up brush). Make sure that the Micro Filter is not damaged (which is only made of plastic)
7. Conclusion:
Incredible for that price what was on offer there. Raises only the question is for how long the device. Let's see in 2 years. As long as we have guaranteed.
Otherwise? Thoroughly recommended!
