Dear customers,

Before you plug the dishwasher into an electrical outlet and

turn on the device, be sure to read the entire instruction manual

operation and installation. The instructions it contains will help reduce

risk of personal injury and damage to the device.

Machine documentation should be kept in a safe place for correct

operation and seeking help if necessary.

These operating instructions have been prepared for

devices and the individual features described herein may

do not touch your dishwasher.

Device

Each model offered by the Hansa brand has its own characteristics, but basically the PMM scheme is as follows:

  • control panel equipped with a display;
  • baskets for dishes (upper, lower);
  • shelf for cups;
  • instrument compartment;
  • dispensers for detergent, rinse aid, salt;
  • filters and sprayers inside the workspace;
  • drain hose;
  • inner tube;
  • water supply hose.

How to use

The basic rules of use are as follows:

  • The upper basket is designed to accommodate lightly soiled tableware made of fragile glass and porcelain. It is best to place glasses and cups here, and place cutlery horizontally between them.
  • Plates and cups must be placed in such a way that they do not touch the filters and sprinklers.
  • The lower basket is intended for very dirty plates, cups, for example, baking trays, bowls, salad bowls. The manufacturer recommends placing the plates upside down so that the entire surface gets water.
  • Special trays (available in some models) are designed specifically to accommodate spoons and forks.

Indicators

Each Hans car has the following panel icons:

  • Power supply – lights up when the equipment is plugged in.
  • Half load indicator.
  • Level indicator for cleaning and polishing solution (if it is on, you need to add more).
  • Salt presence/absence sensor (if it lights up, you need to add salt).

Buttons

The following buttons are located on the PMM body:

  • “On/Off” to stop or supply power;
  • program selection button, cleaning cycle;
  • half load button if less than 7 sets of dishes have accumulated;
  • reboot and start.

Programs

As standard, Hansa appliances have the following dish cleaning modes:

  • Standard sink for everyday use, used for dishes without dried dirt.
  • Intensive mode, which makes it possible to clean even old dirt from dishes.
  • Delicate mode – used for glasses and glasses without heavy soiling.
  • The “hour” cycle is designed for lightly soiled dishes; there is no drying of the dishes.
  • Pre-soaking – required for heavily soiled dishes, used before the main wash.
  • The “eco-cleaning” mode is intended for cutlery made of crystal and porcelain to provide delicate washing and prevent chips and cracks.

It is necessary to turn on the machine only after all compartments have been loaded.

How to turn it on

Hansa PMMs are quite easy to use; in order to turn on the dishwasher, you need to:

  1. Plug in the power cord and check if the water supply valve is open.
  2. Add dishes, cleaning agent and close the door.
  3. Select a program, mode and press the appropriate button.
  4. Click "Start".

First start

The first start of the washing mode must be carried out according to the following recommendations:

  1. Load the dishes into the working plane of the device and, if possible, move them towards the rear wall.
  2. Add the tablet, powder and salt, pour in the rinse aid.
  3. After downloading and selecting the “Start” button, the machine will start working after 10 minutes.

If you urgently need to stop the machine and change the cleaning mode, you can do this before the device begins to flush detergent from the specialized compartments. To do this, you can open the door, and then the Hansa appliance will automatically stop operation. After this, switch the washing mode, close the door again, wait 10 minutes - the machine will start working.

How to drain the water

If the filter is clogged and water does not flow out of the machine completely, you must drain the water from the Hansa dishwasher yourself:

  1. Select the manual water drainage program on the control panel.
  2. Monitor the process.
  3. Disconnect the equipment.
  4. Close the water supply valve.
  5. Place rags under the device to absorb any remaining water from the work area.
  6. Unscrew the filter cover at the bottom of the housing and the salt compartment cover.
  7. Tilt the machine on one side to allow any remaining water to drain.
  8. Wash the inside of the device dry, leave the door open for 10-15 minutes so that it dries well inside to prevent an unpleasant, musty smell.

If the PMM is used only in the summer in an unheated room, then leaving it with water for the winter is dangerous. When water freezes inside, it ruptures the plastic pipes, requiring expensive repairs.

Identification of signs on the dishwasher

The location of the panel depends on the type of dishwasher. If this is a built-in model, the keys and indicators are located at the end of the door. Since the front part of built-in PMMs is hinged, there is no need to place the control system on the front part of the door.

Freestanding machines are a full-fledged element of the interior, so the control panel is located on the front part. Buttons and indicators may be labeled, but often these are foreign names that cannot be understood without instructions. It is more convenient when the keys are designated by symbols: pan, snowflake, asterisk. Then the user can intuitively understand the meaning of the buttons.

The variety of symbols depends on the brand of the car (Ikea, Ariston, Siemens). And also on the number of functions of the model.

Let's look at the designations of the most popular brands of dishwashers.

Bosch (Bosch)

Bosch dishwashers are the most popular on the Russian market. Manufacturers have created a wide range of models, a wide variety of modes and are introducing new technologies. Let's look at the decoding of the most common symbols (follow the numbering in the picture).

  • Pan with stand (1). The symbol speaks for itself - intensive mode (70 degrees), which allows you to wash heavy dirt from pots, baking sheets, and frying pans. Duration - 115 minutes, water consumption - 21 liters.
  • Auto (cup and saucers) (2). “Automatic” mode (one might say “Standard”) takes place at a temperature of 45-65 degrees. Suitable for a variety of dishes, except for items made of delicate materials. Operating time - 140 minutes, consumes 19 liters.
  • ECO (Economical Cleaning) or glass and cup on a plate (3). Initially, a “Pre-rinse” is carried out, and then a program at 50°C. Lasts 140 minutes, spends 14 liters.
  • A glass with a cup on a stand and two arrows to the right (4) - a quick cycle without an initial rinse at 45 degrees. Characteristics: 30 minutes, 10 l.
  • “Shower” of water drops (5) – “Pre-rinse”. The program allows you to clean dishes from food residues and prepare appliances for a thorough wash. Time: 19 minutes, water: 4 l.
  • One glass. Indicates “Delicate wash”, works at a temperature of 40 degrees. In this case, you can wash fragile items. Takes 75 minutes, spends 15 liters.
  • Plus and minus with the letter h (6) - allow you to adjust the cycle time.
  • Clock with arrows to the right (7) - reducing the duration of the mode by half (VarioSpeed).
  • ½ (8) - half load mode. If you haven't collected dirty dishes for a full cycle, load only half with a 30% resource saving.
  • Pan with rocker arms (9) - “Intensive Zone”. Water flows into the lower part under stronger pressure than into the upper part.
  • Baby bottle (10) - the hygienic mode allows you to process dishes at high temperatures. Perfectly disinfects children's dishes.

Start and Reset keys on the panel will help you start a wash cycle or perform a reboot.

In addition, the dishwasher control is equipped with operation indicators. They inform the user about a particular program. Let's figure out how to understand the meaning of the light bulbs on the Bosch panel.

  • Brush (1) – washing indicator.
  • End (2) — end of the program.
  • The faucet icon (3) is a water supply light.
  • Wave-shaped arrows (4) indicate the presence or absence of salt in the ion exchanger.
  • Sun (snowflake) (5) - presence of rinse aid in the compartment.

In dishwashers with a display, the wash modes are also equipped with lights. If they light up, the program is running.

  • Icon + (1) - the ability to select a temperature in the region of +65-75°C.
  • Auto (2) — automatic washing.
  • “–” symbol indicates the temperature range from 35 to 45 degrees.
  • Eco (4) - economical program.
  • Glass and cup on a stand (5) - quick cleaning.
  • Water jets (6) - pre-rinse.

There is also a time indicator on the floor and on the display. In the first case, numbers are displayed on the floor that indicate the time until the end of the program. The latest models have a "Floor Beam" function. Instead of a sound signal indicating the end of the cycle, the machine flashes a beam.

Problems and solutions

Due to improper connection and operation, users often encounter problems and breakdowns.

Filling system problems

Such problems are always associated with blockages, so you should know how to eliminate them:

  1. Turn the water supply valve to the “Off” position and disconnect the machine from the mains.
  2. Disconnect the water supply hose from the housing and check for plugs and debris. Do the same steps with the filter and mesh.
  3. To remove stagnant debris, place the filter in water with citric acid.
  4. Carry out valve diagnostics by ringing the coils; if necessary, replace worn elements.

Checking the circulation pump

It is better to check the circulation pump when there is no water injection and it does not enter the working space of the machine, because due to the circulation pump, water flows into the rocker arms and the dishwashing function is activated. Diagnostics and repairs will be necessary if you hear knocking, buzzing, or noise.

For repair you need:

  • Provide normal access to the bottom of the workspace and remove the bottom panel of the housing.
  • Remove the fasteners and drain pump by turning the pump clockwise.
  • Remove the special clamps with an adjustable wrench and disconnect the pump, replace the non-working equipment.
  • Transfer the clamps and mounting bolt from the old pump to the new element and perform the same assembly, only in reverse order.

Hansa dishwasher indicators - E1/E4

  1. E1/soaking/faucet icon flashes - indicates problems: lack of sufficient pressure, the water tap to the device is closed, or the water in the house is turned off. In the absence of the listed problems, it indicates maintenance problems - a call to the technician is required.
  2. E4/ECO warning light - incoming water level too high/overflow, may also require calling a repair technician.

Problems and solutions

Due to improper connection and operation, users often encounter problems and breakdowns.

Filling system problems

Such problems are always associated with blockages, so you should know how to eliminate them:

  1. Turn the water supply valve to the “Off” position and disconnect the machine from the mains.
  2. Disconnect the water supply hose from the housing and check for plugs and debris. Do the same steps with the filter and mesh.
  3. To remove stagnant debris, place the filter in water with citric acid.
  4. Carry out valve diagnostics by ringing the coils; if necessary, replace worn elements.

Checking the circulation pump

It is better to check the circulation pump when there is no water injection and it does not enter the working space of the machine, because due to the circulation pump, water flows into the rocker arms and the dishwashing function is activated. Diagnostics and repairs will be necessary if you hear knocking, buzzing, or noise.

For repair you need:

  • Provide normal access to the bottom of the workspace and remove the bottom panel of the housing.
  • Remove the fasteners and drain pump by turning the pump clockwise.
  • Remove the special clamps with an adjustable wrench and disconnect the pump, replace the non-working equipment.
  • Transfer the clamps and mounting bolt from the old pump to the new element and perform the same assembly, only in reverse order.

Drain system malfunctions

If, after washing dishes, the water does not completely leave the workspace and accumulates below, it means that there is a problem with the drainage system. Often this is due to stuck and accumulated debris, to fix the problem you need to do the following:

In dishwashing equipment, the level sensor is called a pereostat; its function is to monitor the water level in the tank. Failure of this element may consist of physical wear, blockage, or malfunction of the electronic part.

Before a complete replacement, you need to check the element for blockages. To do this, you need to unscrew 2 screws from the bottom of the machine, the mounting clamp, and blow out the tube. The electronic part can be diagnosed using a multimeter.

Heating element diagnostics

The basis of the heating system is a flow-through heater, which is necessary to increase the temperature of the water when cleaning dishes. Its breakdown may be due to the inoperability of the heating element located under the bottom of the Hansa dishwasher. It is better to entrust the installation of the heating element to a specialist; for self-repair, the following is required:

  1. Disconnect the heating element with the pump.
  2. Unscrew the pump fasteners by turning them clockwise and remove the rubber seal.
  3. Remove all tubes and pipes, replace the non-functioning part and reassemble everything in the reverse order.

Leak

To eliminate leaks, it is necessary to identify the exact cause and location; for this, the following occurs:

  • Carefully inspect the inside and outside of the dishwasher.
  • Check the quality of door closure and the reliability of the door seals; if necessary, replace them.
  • Inspect the rubber seals on the drain pump; their wear can also lead to leakage. In this case, it will be necessary to replace the seal or the pump completely.

To avoid damage, use PMM only for dishes that can be washed in it. Do not load wooden or pewter items; not all dishwashers are suitable for washing plastic items. Don't forget to take care of the device. Wipe the doors, clean the filter. Of course, there are models with self-cleaning, but this also requires periodic supervision. The door seal should also be cleaned with a special product or a melamine sponge to prevent mold from forming or drying out.

Device structure

The design of dishwashers is determined by the manufacturer and depends on the specific model; it can also be built-in. In general, the device looks like this:

  • drain hose and water supply hose fitting;
  • filters and sprayers;
  • inner pipe;
  • dispensers for salt and detergents;
  • shelf for cutlery;
  • shelf for cups;

  • control panel with display.

Important! Please note that some parts may not be available depending on the model or that the Hans Dishwasher may require additions. Always check the instructions for details.

Next, we’ll look at how to properly place dishes in the dishwasher.

First start

This procedure is very important for the further successful operation of the device. First, you should read the instructions very carefully and strictly follow the recommendations given there. Here are some tips:

  • The first launch should be carried out without dishes.
  • Fill the ionic salt container with at least one liter of water.

Upper basket

In this basket you can place fragile glassware, porcelain, as well as tea pairs, cups and glasses. You can also place cutlery between them. The dishes must be laid out so that they are not touched by the spray nozzles when the device is operating.

Important! It should be remembered that items placed in the upper basket should be lightly soiled.

Lower basket

More soiled items and deep dishes can be placed in this basket. For example: bowls, pans, baking sheets. As in the case of the top one, it is necessary to arrange objects in such a way that they do not touch them when the device is operating. And so that the water drains, it is better to place the products upside down.

Cutlery tray

If the machine is equipped with a special compartment, then cutlery should be placed in it. It is important to fold them with their handles up, place the longest utensils in the middle, and also make sure that they do not cling to each other.
