ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE

After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the reta-

ining elastic elements from the upper rack.

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes

and on the machine’s functional components.

• It is important that the salt reservoir be never empty (except when

the water hardness is set to - 1 “Soft”).

• It is important to set the water hardness.

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see

Product Description) and should be lled when the SALT REFILL indi-

cator light

in the control panel is lit .

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the

reservoir cap (anticlockwise).

2. Position the funnel (see gure) and ll the

salt reservoir right up to its edge (approxi-

mately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little wa-

ter to leak out.

3. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt resi-

due away from the opening.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can get

into the container during the wash program (this could damage the

water softener beyond repair).

Whenever you need to add salt, we recommend carrying out the

procedure before the washing cycle is started.

SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS

To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential

that the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hard-

ness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local

water supplier.

The factory setting is for avarage (3) water hardness.

1. Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button

2. Switch o the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button

3. Hold down button START/PAUSE for 5 seconds, until you hear a

beep.

4. Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button

5. The current selection level number and the salt indicator light

both ash.

6. Press button P to select the desired hardness level (see Water

Hardness Table).

7. Switch o the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button

Setting is complete!

As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading.

Only use salt that has been specically designed for dishwashers.

After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL in-

dicator light switches o.

If the salt container is not lled, the water softener and the

heating element may be damaged as a result (except when

the water hardness is set to - 1 “Soft”).

FIRST TIME USE

SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser “B”

should be lled:

• When the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light

on the display is lit.

• When the dark optical indicator on the dispenser door “C” becomes

transparent.

1. Open the dispenser by turning the cap “A” in an anticlockwise direction.

2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overow from the

dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.

3. Screw the cap back on.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the dishwasher.

ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID

If you are not completely satised with the drying results, you can

adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Turn the adjuster “D”.

The factory setting is for a medium level.

• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (1-2).

• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a

mid-range number (3-4).

FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

Open the detergent dispenser and measure out the detergent

according to Programs Table

A Rinse aid dispenser cap

(Unscrew the cap to ll the dispenser).

B Rinse aid dispenser

C Rinse aid level indicator

D Rinse aid dosage adjuster

(You can set up to a max. of 4 levels).

Do I need to rinse my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher? Verified

Rinsing the dishes is not necessary, but you do need to remove any large, hard and fat leftovers. These could clog the drain over time.

Can I open the dishwasher while it is running? Verified

Most dishwashers are equipped with a water stop, making the program stop immediately when the door is opened and meaning no water will come out. With some models this can cause problems over time. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

Should I open the dishwasher after it finished running to have the dishes dry quicker? Verified

This depends on the type of dishwasher and the location of the dishwasher. Some dishwashers are equipped with a feature that dries the dishes after the washing program. In that case opening the dishwasher will have no added value. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

What does '6th Sense' mean? Verified

Whirlpool appliances that are equipped with 6th Sense technology have sensors that ensure optimal operation of the machine. For example in dryers, these sensors measure the moisture left in the wash and stops the machine when everything is completely dry.

After the dishwaser has finished its cycle, the plastic dishes are still wet but the rest isn't. Why is that? Verified

Plastic is a bad conductor of heat, allowing the products to cool down quickly. The moisture that remains on it then evaporates far less than for example on ceramics or metal.

Can I connect a dishwasher to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dishwasher, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dishwasher is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord cn handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

Can I put pans with Teflon in the dishwasher? Verified

Yes, you can. However, the pan will wear faster than when it is cleaned by hand. When cleaning a pan with Teflon by hand, never use a scourer but use a soft sponge or cloth.

This was helpful (657) Read more

Can I put wooden objects such as spatulas and cutting boards in the dishwasher? Verified

No. Wooden objects can get damaged or warped in a dishwasher. Also, the wood fibres that come free might damage the dishwasher. Wooden cutting boards are often made with glue that can come loose after being in the dishwasher several times.
