IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ BEFORE USING!

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• NOTE

- This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least resistance
of electrical current. You will be able to tell if
it is because a non-grounded appliance will
give off an electrical discharge.

• Manufacturer declines all responsibility for
any damage due to non-grounding of
appliance.

• DURING THE GUARANTEE PERIOD ONLY BAUMATIC
SERVICE ENGINEERS OR AN AUTHORISED AGENT
OF BAUMATIC SHOULD CARRY OUT REPAIRS ON
THIS UNIT.

• DO NOT USE IF THE SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED.

• FOR INSTALLATION PROCEDURE PLEASE CONSULT

PAGES 24 – 29.

WATER

SOFTENING

FEATURE

THE LIME IN HARD WATER MAKES DEPOSITS FORM ON
DISHES AND UTENSILS. YOUR DISHWASHER HAS A

SPECIAL SOFTENING FEATURE THAT USES SALT

SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE LIME AND

MINERALS FROM THE WATER

.

WARNING!

ONLY USE DISHWASHER SALT IN YOUR

DISHWASHER.

NOTE:

If 3-in1 tablets are used with the machine
then set the salt dispenser to the minimum
setting. THESE TABLET TYPES ALREADY
CONTAIN SALT AND/OR RINSE AID.

If the salt or rinse aid dispenser is set at a high
level in a cycle involving 2-in-1, 3-in-1or 4-in-1
tablets then this will result in overdosing of
individual chemicals and affect the quality of the
finished wash. It could also cause overflowing of
water and suds. A white residue may also be
deposited on utensils.
Please note: Rinse aid should still be used. To
achieve better results in the drying cycle please
use appropriate amount:( see page 7)

LOADING SALT INTO THE SALT CONTAINER

• REMOVE THE LOWER BASKET & THEN
UNSCREW AND REMOVE THE CAP
FROM THE SALT CONTAINER.

• IF YOU ARE FILLING THE CONTAINER
FOR THE FIRST TIME, FILL WITH
APPROX. 1 LITRE OF WATER.

• PLACE THE END OF THE SUPPLIED
FUNNEL INTO THE HOLE & ADD 1.2 Kg
OF SALT. NOTE

: IT IS NORMAL FOR A
SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER TO COME
OUT OF THE CONTAINER.

Note on chemicals used by the dishwasher

•

Your dishwasher is equipped with an adjustable rinse aid and salt container. Using individual detergents,
rinse aid and salt will give the best possible results as this will give the corre ct dosage of each chemica l to
suit your needs. Using Two-in-One or Three-in-One tablets may not give the best re sults when used in
your appliance, and may not be suitable for the type of water supply in your home, as they contain pre­determined quantities of salt, rinse aid and detergent and cannot be adjusted to the individual
requirements.

If you are going to use 3-in-1 (or 2-in-1) tablets, we suggest that you contact the manufacturer before use

or if you experience poor results in the wash performance and ask for assistance from them.

BAUMATIC BFD65W dishwasher user manual

SETTING THE WATER SOFTENER LEVEL

YOU CAN ADJUST THE AMOUNT OF SALT USED BY THE DISHWASHER TO SOFTEN WATER TO GET
THE BEST WASHING RESULTS, BASED ON THE HARDNESS OF WATER IN YOUR AREA.

1 UNSCREW THE CAP FROM THE SALT

CONTAINER.

2 THERE IS A RING ON THE NECK OF THE

CONTAINER. ROTATE THE RING IN AN
ANTICLOCKWISE DIRECTION FROM THE “-”
SETTING TOWARDS THE “+” SETTING
ACCORDING TO THE HARDNESS OF WATER
IN USE. SEE TABLE BELOW.

NOTE

1. THE SALT CONTAINER MUST BE REFILLED WHEN THE
SALT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. ALTHOUGH THE
SALT CONTAINER MAY BE FULL, THE INDICATOR LIGHT
MAY NOT GO OUT UNTIL THE SALT HAS DISSOLVED.

2. IF THERE ARE SALT SPILLS, A SOAK PROGRAM CAN
BE RUN TO WASH AWAY SPILLAGE BEFORE USING THE
MACHINE.
WARNING:SPILLAGE OF SALT AROUND THE NECK CAN
LEAD TO RUST, ENSURE YOU RINSE AWAY AFTER
LOADING

ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD BE MADE ACCORDING TO THE TABLE BELOW:

DETERGENT “How much do I use?”

To OPEN the DETERGENT DISPENSER DOOR, use the CATCH on its LOWER SIDE.

*NOTE: SEE P.13 – WASH CYCLE TABLE for AMOUNT of DETERGENT to use.

NOTE:

• ALWAYS CHECK THE WASH CYCLE TABLE
FOR DOSAGE ADVICE. NEVER OVERFILL
THE DISPENSER.

• DO NOT OVERDOSE TO PREVENT THE
FORMATION OF DEPOSITS (THE WATER
SOFTENING FEATURE ALREADY TAKES CARE
OF THIS!).

THE HARDER YOUR WATER, THE MORE DETERGENT
YOU MAY NEED. ADJUST THE DOSE JUST BY SMALL
AMOUNTS UNTIL YOU FIND THE CORRECT AMOUNT
OF DETERGENT TO USE.

BAUMATIC BFD65W dishwasher user manual

RINSE AID

• TO OPEN THE DISPENSER, TURN THE CAP TO
THE ‘OPEN’ (LEFT) ARROW AND LIFT IT OUT.

• POUR THE RINSE AID INTO THE DISPENSER.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERFILL.

• REPLACE CAP BY INSERTING IT ALIGNED WITH
‘OPEN’ ARROW & TURN IT TO THE CLOSED
(RIGHT) ARROW.

• THE RINSE AID IS RELEASED DURING THE
FINAL RINSE TO PREVENT WATER FROM

FORMING DROPLETS ON YOUR DISHES

THAT CAN CAUSE SPOTS AND STREAKS. IT

ALSO IMPROVES DRYING BY ALLOWING

WATER TO FALL OFF THE DISHES.

• YOUR DISHWASHER IS DESIGNED TO USE

LIQUID RINSE AIDS. THE RINSE AID

DISPENSER CAN BE FOUND INSIDE THE

DOOR NEXT TO THE DETERGENT

DISPENSER. TO FILL THE DISPENSER, OPEN

THE CAP AND POUR THE RINSE AID INTO

THE DISPENSER UNTIL THE LEVEL

INDICATOR TURNS COMPLETELY BLACK.

THE DISPENSER HOLDS ABOUT 100ML OF

LIQUID RINSE AID.

• BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERFILL THE
DISPENSER – THIS COULD CAUSE

FROTHING. WIPE AWAY SPILLS WITH A

DAMP CLOTH. DON’T FORGET TO REPLACE

THE CAP BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE

DISHWASHER DOOR.

NOTE

: IF YOU HAVE SOFT WATER, YOU MAY NOT

NEED RINSE AID FOR IT MAY CAUSE A WHITE FILM

TO DEVELOP ON YOUR DISHES.

ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

• As with detergent, the amount of rinse
aid needed for your dishes depends on

the hardness of the water in your area.

Too much rinse aid can result in

foaming and cause cloudiness or

streaks on your dishes. If your water

is very soft, you may not need rinse
aid. You can always dilute the rinse

aid with an equal amount of water.

The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. ALWAYS START WITH THE DISPENSER SET ON “1”. IF SPOTS & POOR
DRYING ARE A PROBLEM, INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF RINSE AID DISPENSED BY REMOVING THE DISPENSER
LID AND ROTATING THE DIAL TO “2”. IF THE DISHES ARE STILL NOT DRYING PROPERLY OR ARE SPOTTED,
ADJUST THE DIAL TO THE NEXT HIGHER NUMBER UNTIL YOUR DISHES ARE SPOT-FREE.

***

NOTE: Please read the notes for detergent use on p. 12.

WHEN TO REFILL THE RINSE
AID DISPENSER - If the rinse aid

warning light (

SEE

control panel) is not on, you
can judge the rinse aid level by looking at the
black dot on the rinse aid dispenser. As the
rinse aid level decreases, the black dot shrinks.
Never let the rinse aid get below ¼ full.

FILTERING SYSTEM

FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, WE HAVE PLACED THE FILTERING SYSTEM WITHIN EASY REACH INSIDE THE

TUB. THE FILTER REMOVES BITS OF FOOD TRAPPED IN THE FILTER FROM THE WASH WATER SO IT CAN BE
RECIRCULATED DURING THE CYCLE. THERE ARE THREE PARTS TO THE FILTERING SYSTEM: 1) The Main Filter,

2) The Coarse Filter & 3) The Fine Filter.

1 MAIN FILTER

Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are
pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and
washed down the drain.

2 COARSE FILTER

Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass that could
clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To
remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze

the tabs on top of this filter and lift it out.

3 FINE FILTER

This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area
and prevents it from being re-deposited on the dishes
during a cycle.

Caring for your Dishwasher

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE SURFACES OF YOUR APPLIANCE

• TO CLEAN THE EXTERIOR OF YOUR DISHWASHER (INCLUDING THE CONTROL PANEL), USE A LIGHTLY

DAMPENED CLOTH THEN DRY THOROUGHLY. NEVER USE SHARP OBJECTS, SCOURING PADS OR

HARSH CLEANERS ON ANY PART OF THE APPLIANCE. SOME PAPER TOWELS CAN SCRATCH.

• TO CLEAN THE EDGE AROUND THE DOOR,

ONLY EVER USE A SOFT WARM, DAMP RAG.
DO NOT USE A SPRAY CLEANER HERE OR
WHEN CLEANING THE DOOR PANEL AS THIS
MAY HARM THE DOOR LOCK AND
ELECTRICAL PARTS.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

THE SPRAY ARMS NEED REGULAR CLEANING AS HARD WATER RESIDUES WILL CLOG THEIR

JETS & BEARINGS. TO REMOVE THE SPRAY ARM, SCREW OFF THE NUT TO TAKE OUT THE
WASHER ON TOP OF THE SPRAY ARM AND REMOVE THE ARM. WASH THE ARMS IN SOAPY

WARM WATER & USE A SOFT BRUSH TO CLEAN THE JETS. REPLACE THE SPRAY ARM AFTER

RINSING IT THOROUGHLY.

BAUMATIC BFD65W dishwasher user manual

CLEANING THE FILTERS

• THE FILTER ASSEMBLY MUST BE KEPT CLEAN FOR BEST PERFORMANCE. You should remove the
larger bits of food trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and
cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull up on the cup handle.

• The entire filter assembly sh o uld be cleaned at least once a month.

• To clear the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter parts

as shown in the figure above and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher in its seat & press
downward to secure it.

• Improper replacement of the filter may impair appliance performance and damage dishes and
utensils.

• Warning - never

run the dishwasher without the filters

in place!

• Warning - Before cleaning the inner cavity of the appliance

always allow 30 minutes for the Element to cool down to
avoid injury!

HOW TO KEEP YOUR DISHWASHER IN SHAPE

AFTER EVERY WASH, leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours are not trapped
inside.

REMOVE THE PLUG before cleaning or performing maintenance. Never run the risk of electric
shocks.

DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR ABRASIVE CLEANING AGENTS to clean the exterior and the rubber
parts of the dishwasher. Only use a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains
from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar,
or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

WHEN YOU GO ON HOLIDAY, run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty. Then unplug it, turn
off the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent odours and mould from
developing.

MOVING THE APPLIANCE is possible but KEEP IT UPRIGHT.

SEALS can trap food, which in turn will cause odours. Periodic cleaning with a damp cloth or

sponge will prevent this from becoming a problem.

PROTECTING YOUR DISHWASHER AGAINST FREEZING

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a
service technician to:

1)

Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit
breaker.

2)

Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water
valve & discharge hoses.

3)

Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve (Use a pan to catch the
water).

4)

Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.

5)

Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub bottom and use a sponge to soak
up water in the rubber boot.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: APPLIANCE SHOULD ONLY BE FITTED

BY A TRAINED TECHNICIAN

INSTALLING YOUR DISHWASHER

a) PREPARATION

Before you install your appliance, make sure that the place you
have chosen to fit it is:

•

Near the existing power socket.

•

So that you can choose one side of the cabinet cavity to
easily connect the dishwasher’s drain hoses.

•

Near your sink so you have easy access to the water inlet
and drain hoses.

• If dishwasher is to be installed at the corner of cabinet

area, make sure you have enough space when the door is
opened.

•

Is structured so that you have less than 5 mm between
the top of the dishwasher and cabinet. Also check that the
outer door is aligned to cabinet. (See figures below).

d) NEXT, CONNECT THE WATER INLET
(SEE FIGURE BELOW):

Connect the cold water supply hose to a
threaded ¾ inch connector and make sure that
it is fastened tightly in place.
Attach tube C

to the cold water supply A.

If the water pipes are new or have not been
used for a long time, let the water run to make
sure that the water is clear and free of
impurities. The water inlet may get blocked and
damage the appliance.
Make sure the water pressure is the same as the
range indicated on the data tag.

DO NOT CONNECT TO THE HOT

WATER SYSTEM!

If your appliance is fitted with an aqua stop
system then this must be fitted vertically
(pointing upwards) not downwards or sideways

.

e) THEN, CONNECT THE DRAIN HOSE

(SEE FIGURE BELOW):

The curved end of the drainage hose should be hooked into the drainage stand pipe or, alternatively, over
the edge of your sink.

During installation, make sure that:

• The drainage hose is not kinked or crushed.

• The hose end, relative to the top surface of the dishwasher (SEE FIGURE BELOW), must be

placed at a height between 32cm and 80cm.

• The end of the hose must never be immersed in water.

• The drainage hose must not be extended to more than a maximum length of 1 metre. The

extension must have the same internal diameter. Furthermore, the maximum height at which
the hose end can be placed (in the case of an extended tube) must be reduced from 80cm to
50cm.

• The drainage stand pipe must have an internal diameter of no less than 4 cm.

NOTE: DO NOT EXTEND THE DRAIN HOSE AS THIS CAN AFFECT THE

PERFORMANCE OF THE DISHWASHER.

f) NOW YOU ARE READY TO CONNECT THE
POWER CORD.

WARNING!

ELECTRICITY CAN BE DANGEROUS. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING

CAREFULLY

:

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Electrical Requirements
The dishwasher is designed for operation on an adequately wired individual 220-240V AC,
50-60Hz system. The required fuse rating is 13amp. Fused electrical supply is required –
copper wire only. Time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Make sure that this
appliance runs off its own separate circuit. Outlet should be placed in adjacent cabinet.

WARNING – ENSURE PROPER GROUND EXISTS
BEFORE USE.

After making sure that the voltage and the frequency values for the current in your home
correspond to those on the rating plate and that the electrical system is sized for the
maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed
properly. If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not right for
the plug, replace the socket, rather than using adaptors of the like as they could cause
overheating and fire.

g) NOW, PUT THE DISHWASHER ON THE SLIDE
RAILS

(These are supplied so your appliance can be pushed into place

easily and to protect your floor surface from pressure points). See figure at
bottom of page.

h) THEN, APPLY THE CONDENSATION STRIP.

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 deflect steam rising from your appliance to
protect your worktop’s underside.

• The strip is located inside your
dishwasher.

• Ensure the surface is clean prior to
sticking to underside of the worktop.

• Separate the backing paper from the
strip.

• Stick to the underside of the worktop.

Note

: Failure to attach strip could
result in damage to the underside
of your work surface!

i) NOW YOU ARE READY TO PUSH THE
DISHWASHER INTO POSITION (SEE FIGURE BELOW):

NOTE

–

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE
DISHWASHER ON ITS SLIDE RAILS

(STEP 4 IN ILLUSTRATION ON
RIGHT).

THEN MOVE IT INTO THE CABINET

RECESS (AS PICTURED ON RIGHT).
ENSURING THAT IT IS BACKED UP
AGAINST THE WALL. ATTACH THE
FURNITURE DOOR (STEP 1 AS
PICTURED ON RIGHT) IF YOU HAVE
NOT ALREADY DONE SO.

YOU ARE NOW READY TO SECURE
YOUR APPLIANCE TO THE CABINET
AREA (STEP 8 AS PICTURED ON

RIGHT) & (STEPS 2 & 7 AS PICTURED
ON RIGHT).

SEE p. 33 FOR FURTHER

INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO

ACCOMPLISH THESE.

j) NOW GET THE DISHWASHER LEVEL.

NOTE

: YOUR
DISHWASHER MUST
BE LEVEL FOR
PROPER DISH RACK
OPERATION AND
WASH
PERFORMANCE.

WARNING!

BE CAREFUL WHILE YOU ARE
LEVELLING YOUR DISHWASHER
IN PLACE – IT COULD TIP OVER
AND INJURE YOU!

CONSULT THE FIGURE BELOW
FOR HELP!

THE REAR FEET CAN BE ADJUSTED FROM THE FRONT OF THE DISHWASHER BY TURNING THE SCREWS ON THE

LEFT AND RIGHT HAND SIDES OF THE CABINET. TO ADJUST THE FRONT FEET, USE A WRENCH / SPANNER AND

TURN THE FRONT FEET UNTIL THE DISHWASHER IS LEVEL (PLEASE SEE ‘REMARK B’ IN THE ABOVE FIGURE).

WHEN YOU ROTATE THE ADJUSTER POLE CLOCKWISE, THE BACK FOOT WILL DRIVE UP THE DISHWASHER.

(PLEASE SEE ‘REMARK A’ IN THE ABOVE FIGURE). PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FRONT LEVELLING FEET ARE

HELD TO THE APPLIANCE BY LOCKING NUTS. PLEASE HANDLE THESE WITH CARE WHEN INSTALLING.

k) THE DISHWASHER MUST NOW BE SECURED
IN PLACE

. THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO DO THIS, DEPENDING ON YOUR TYPE OF WORK

SURFACE. REMEMBER THAT YOUR DISHWASHER’S WEIGHT MUST REST ON ITS FEET. THE
FASTENINGS AT ITS TOP ARE TO GIVE STABILITY AND WILL PREVENT IT FROM TIPPING
FORWARD:

NORMAL WORK SURFACE

- SECURE TO THE WORK SURFACE’S UNDERSIDE BY USING TWO

WOODSCREWS ENSURING THAT THE DISHWASHER CAN OPEN AND CLOSE COMFORTABLY.

MARBLE OR GRANITE WORK TOP

– FOR THESE WORKTOPS, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
SECURE THE TOP OF THE DISHWASHER TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE SPECIAL WORK SURFACE.
BECAUSE OF THIS, YOU WILL HAVE TO SECURE THE BRACKET TO THE SIDE PANELS OF THE
DISHWASHER CABINET AND SECURE THE DISHWASHER TO THE FURNITURE HOUSING. PUT THE
RUBBER CAP OVER THE SCREW.

NOTE: DO NOT PUT ANY WEIGHT FROM THE DISHWASHER ON THESE SCREWS – ENSURE
YOUR DISHWASHER’S WEIGHT RESTS ENTIRELY ON ITS FEET.

CAUTION

:

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU RAISE THE BACK OF THE DISHWASHER WHILE YOU ARE LEVELLING THE

REAR FEET. THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED USING A LEVER AND FULCRUM. TAKE GREAT CARE WHEN
ATTEMPTING TO MOVE OR TILT YOUR DISHWASHER IN ANY WAY. NOTE: BAUMATIC WILL NOT BE

LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY OR DAMAGE INCURRED WHILST YOU ATTEMPT TO MOVE YOUR DISHWASHER.
