What important safety instructions should I follow when using the GAGGENAU DF481701F dishwasher?
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe the following general safety instructions:
• This appliance is provided with installation instructions and this use and care manual. Read and understand all instructions before using the appliance.
• Keep the manual and the product information in a safe place for future reference or for the next owner.
• Do not connect the appliance if it has been damaged in transit.
• 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 for electric current. See the Installation Instructions for more information on electrical requirements.
• Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher safe.
• Only use detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
• Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow for several minutes to release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• When loading items to be washed, locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal, and load knives and other sharp utensils with their handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
• Always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided.
• To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
How can I prevent material damage to my GAGGENAU DF481701F dishwasher?
Follow these guidelines to prevent material damage:
• **Chemicals:** Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach-based products to clean your dishwasher.
• **Cleaning Products:** Do not use a steam cleaner. To avoid scratching the finish, do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive cleaning agents. Do not use stainless steel polish on an anti-fingerprint finish or a black stainless finish.
• **Water Vapor:** When the program ends, let the appliance cool down a bit before opening the door to prevent escaping water vapor from damaging cabinetry.
• **Freezing:** Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.
• **Special Salt:** To prevent corrosion, ensure that any escaped special salt is washed out of the tub by adding it to the dispenser immediately before a program starts. Only fill the dispenser of the water softening system with special dishwasher salt, as detergent can damage it.

Why isn’t the dishware in my GAGGENAU DF481701F dry?
If your dishware is not dry, consider the following:
• **No rinse aid used or dosage too low:** Add rinse aid or set the dosage higher.
• **Cycle has no drying phase or it’s too short:** Select a wash cycle with a drying phase. Some options can decrease the drying result.

Why are there food remnants on my dishware after a cycle in the GAGGENAU DF481701F?
• **Dishware placed too close together:** Arrange dishware with sufficient space in between so spray jets can reach all surfaces.
• **Spray arm rotation blocked:** Arrange dishware so it does not obstruct the spray arms.
• **Spray arm nozzles blocked:** Clean the spray arms.
• **Filters are dirty or inserted incorrectly:** Clean the filters and ensure they are inserted correctly and engaged.
• **Wash cycle too light:** Select a more intensive wash program or adjust the sensitivity of the sensors.
• **Dishware precleaned too intensively:** Only remove large remnants of food and do not pre-rinse. This can cause the sensors to choose a lighter cycle that is not sufficient for stubborn remnants.
• **Tall narrow containers not rinsed out:** Do not position tall narrow containers at too great an angle or in corner areas.
What causes detergent residue in my GAGGENAU DF481701F?
• **Dispenser lid blocked by dishware:** Arrange dishware in the upper rack so the tab collecting tray and dispenser lid are not obstructed. Do not place items or fragrance dispensers in the tab collecting tray.
• **Dispenser lid blocked by a tab:** Position the tab in the detergent dispenser crosswise, not vertically.
• **Tabs used in a quick or short cycle:** The tab may not have enough time to dissolve. Select a more intensive wash cycle or use powder detergent.
• **Old or clumped detergent:** The detergent may have lost its dissolving ability. Change your detergent.
• **Damp dispenser:** Only add detergent to a dry detergent dispenser.
Why are there white coatings or spots on my dishware?
• **Water spots on plastic:** This is unavoidable due to physics. To improve, select a more intensive program, position dishware at an angle, use rinse aid, and set the water softening system higher.
• **Wipeable/water-soluble coatings (detergent residue):** Change your detergent or scrub the appliance by hand.
• **Stubborn white coatings (detergent residue/limescale):** This can be caused by detergent residue or hard water deposits. Change your detergent and scrub the appliance by hand. Ensure the water softening system is set correctly to your water hardness, or add special salt. If using a 3in1/organic/eco detergent, it may not be effective enough; use separate detergents instead.
What should I do if my GAGGENAU DF481701F will not start or stops during a cycle?

• Power and/or water supply has been interrupted. Check the power and water supply.
• The upper rack may be pressing against the inner door. Check that the rear panel of the appliance is not being pressed by an outlet or hose holder. Arrange dishware so no parts project beyond the rack.
Why does the noise level of my GAGGENAU DF481701F vary?
The noise level can vary depending on the load. This is normal.
• **Dishes hitting each other:** Make sure dishware is loaded securely, resting on the tines and not hitting each other.
• **Spray arm striking dishes:** Arrange dishware so the spray arms do not strike them.
• **Water jets striking tub with a small load:** Distribute the dishware evenly or load the appliance with more dishware.
