Using the detergent and water softener

WATER SOFTENER MODE (WATER HARDNESS LEVEL SETTING)

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise the level of salt consumption. To set the salt consumption, proceed as below:

1. Switch on the appliance;
2. Press the Pre Wash or Program button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener set model within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on;
   • Press the Pre Wash or Program button to select the proper set according to your local environment, the sets will change in the following sequence: H1 →H2 →H3 → H4 →H5 → H6; It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following table.
     *The manufactory setting: H3 (EN 50242)
3. Wait for 5 seconds to end the set up model.

1 dH (German degree) = 0.178 mmol/l

1 Clark (British degree) = 0.143 mmol/l

1 fH (French degree) = 0.1 mmol/l

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

WATER SOFTENER

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits may form on dishes and utensils. The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

[Deposits on utensils]

LOADING THE SALT INTO THE SOFTENER

Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher. The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:

ATTENTION

• Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any caused damages.
• Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programs. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been split, remaining of the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
• After the first wash cycle the control panel light expires.

1. Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
   
2. If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 2/3 of its volume with water (around 1 liter).
3. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1.5 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
   
4. Carefully screw the cap back on.
   
5. Usually, the salt warning light will be off after the salt container is filled with salt.

The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light on the control panel comes on. Although the salt container is filled enough, the indicator light may not switch off until the salt fully dissolves.

If there is no salt warning light on the control panel, you can judge when to load the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.

If a lot of salt is spilt inside the dishwasher, run a pre wash program to reduce the spillage.

USING DETERGENT

All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the detergent compartment.

Add the correct amount of detergent for the selected cycle to ensure the best performance.

CAUTION: Use dishwasher detergent only. Regular detergent produces too much foam, which may decrease the dishwasher’s performance or cause it to malfunction.

WARNING: Do not swallow dishwasher detergent. Avoid breathing in the fumes. Dishwasher detergent contains irritants and caustic chemicals that can induce respiratory conditions. If you have swallowed dishwasher detergent or inhaled the fumes, seek medical attention immediately.

WARNING: Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Filling the detergent dispenser

1. Open the detergent dispenser flap by pushing the detergent dispenser release catch.
   The flap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle.
   
2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main wash detergent compartment.
   
3. Close the flap by sliding it to the left and then pressing it down.
   There is no separate button that is specific to using tablet detergents.
   
4. For better cleaning result, especially if you have very dirt items, add small amount (about 8 g) of detergent on the door. That will act in prewash phase.
   

USING RINSE AID

Filling the rinse aid reservoir

When the Rinse Refill indicator lights up on the control panel, refill with rinse aid.

Your dishwasher has been designed to use liquid rinse aid only.

Using a powdered rinse aid will clog the reservoir opening and cause the dishwasher to malfunction.

Rinse aid improves the drying performance of the dishwasher.
CAUTION: Do not add regular detergent to the rinse aid reservoir.

1. Remove the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it counterclockwise.
   Adding rinse aid to tablet detergents will improve drying performance.
   
2. Fill the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid.
   Use the viewing port when filling the rinse aid reservoir.
   CAUTION: Do not fill the reservoir above the full level indicator. Excess rinse aid can overflow during the wash cycle.
   
3. Turn the rinse aid indicator dial to a number between 1 and 6. The higher the number, the more rinse aid the dishwasher uses. If you are unable to rotate the rinse aid dial easily, try using a coin.
4. Close the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it clockwise.
   

HOW TO USE THE MULTI TAP OPTION

Your dishwasher has a Multi tap option which does not need salt and rinse aid but a 3 In1 tablet. This option can select on Intensive, Eco program only.

The Multi tap setting is only for use with Multi tap tablets. If using Multi tap tablet without this option, the appliance will not get its best performance.

1. Put the Multi tap tablet into the container then start the Multi tap option.
2. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
   

When using Multi tap compact combination detergents ensure that the lid can be closed correctly.

ATTENTION: Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach. Always add the detergent in the dispenser just before starting the dishwasher.

Loading the dishwasher racks

For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

Attention before or after loading the dishwasher racks

Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. Place objects in the dishwasher in the following order:

1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down.
2. Curved items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so that water can run off.
3. They are stacked securely and can not tip over.
4. They do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.
   Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the racks.

Removing the dishes

To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first and then the upper basket.

LOADING THE UPPER BASKET

The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water. Always place glasses, cups & bowls upside down.

Adjusting the Upper Basket

The height of the upper basket can be adjusted in order to create more space for large utensils both for the upper/lower basket.

1. To lower the upper rack, press the “A” levers located at the left and right sides of the upper basket and push the upper basket downwards slightly at the same time.
2. To raise the upper rack, just pull the upper basket upwards without operating any levers.

CAUTION: We recommend adjusting the height of the upper basket before loading dishes into the basket. If you adjust the the basket after loading the dishes, you may damage the dishes.

LOADING THE LOWER BASKET

We recommend that you place large items which are most difficult to clean in to the lower rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.

It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm. Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top down.

Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.

The bottom rack feature fold down tine rows so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers and big knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms.

FOLDING SPIKES OF LOWER BASKET

For better stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can be folded down and/or removable tine as show in the picture below.

CUTLERY(SILVERWARE) TRAY

Silverware should be placed in the cutlery tray with handles at the bottom: The spoon should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots, especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper basket.

DW60M6050**/DW60M6051**

DW60M6040**

FOR WASHING IN THE DISHWASHER THE FOLLOWING CUTLERY/ DISHES

Do not try and wash items soiled with cigarette ash, candle wax, lacquer or paint. If you buy new dishes please make sure that they are suitable for dishwashers.

Please do not overload your dishwasher. There is only space for 12 standard dishes. Do not use dishes that are not suitable for dishwashers. This is important for good results and for reasonable energy consumption.

When loading the dishes and cutlery

Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.

Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.

Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other

• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
• Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower rack.
• The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.

ATTENTION

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

Damage to glassware and other dishes.

Washing programmes

TURNING ON THE APPLIANCE

Cleaning and care

CLEANING THE FILTERS

Filtering system

For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub. There are three components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter, and 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 redeposited on the dishes during a cycle.

ATTENTION: Do not put the fine filter upside down.

Filter assembly

For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned. The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, turn it in anti-clockwise direction and lift the filter assembly up. The entire filter assembly should be cleaned regularly. To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat, pressing downward, turning it clockwise direction.

The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

WARNING: Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. When cleaning the filters, do not damage them. Otherwise the filters may not perform as intended and poor wash results or damage to the internal parts may be encountered.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly as hard water chemicals may clog the spray arm jets and bearings. To remove the middle spray arm, hold the nut, rotate the arm clockwise to remove it. To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward. Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

CLEANING THE DOOR

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag.

Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

WARNING: Never use a spray cleaner to clvean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and electrical components. It is not advised to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER

To clean the control panel use a lightly damp cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior use a good appliance polish wax.

Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter:

1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
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 filter in the tub the bottom and use a sponge sock up water.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR DISHWASHER

• After Every Wash

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odours not trapped inside.

• Remove the Plug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.

• No Solvents or Abrasive cleaning

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. use only 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

When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odours from forming within the appliance.

• Moving the Appliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

• Seals

One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

WATER SUPPLY AND DRAIN

Cold water connection

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4 (inch) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place.

If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear. This precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet to be blocked and damage the appliance.

Provided water supply hose has the aqua-safe system. Ensure that water supply hose’s aqua-safe pipe is connected to the faucet.

Hot water connection

The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house hot water line (centralized system, heating system), as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 °C. In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced. The connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold water line.

Positioning the appliance

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.

How to drain excess water from hoses

If the sink is 1000 mm higher from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

Water outlet

Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or squashed.

Extension hose

If you need a drain hose extension, Use a similar size and quality drain hose.

It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.

Syphon connection

The waste connection must be at a height of between 40 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher. The water drain hose should be fixed by a hose clip.

Aqua-safe

The Aqua-safe System is a safety valve system, preventing water leaks. If the water inlet hose starts to leak anytime, the safety valve cuts off the running water. If the water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove and replace it.

Do not enlarge or shorten the inlet hose.

CONNECTION OF DRAIN HOSES

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4 cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The top of the hose must be at a height between 40 and 100 cm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of it.

POSITION THE APPLIANCE

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned either to the right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.
