FIRST TIME USE

SALT, RINSE AID, AND DETERGENT

ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST-TIME USE: After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining 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 mandatory that  THE SALT RESERVOIR NEVER BE EMPTY.
  • It is important to set the water hardness.

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher ( see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION ) and must be filled when the  SALT REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

  1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
  2. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir with water.
  3. Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
  4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue 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, it is mandatory to complete the pro cedure   before   the   beginning   of   the washing   cycle   to   avoid   corrosion.

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 hardness in your house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier.

The factory sets the default value for the water hardness.

  • Switch on the appliance by pressing the  ON/OFF
  • Switch off the appliance by pressing the  ON/OFF
  • Hold down button  P for 5 seconds, until you hear a

As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading.  Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers. After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator light switches off.

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser  A should be filled when the  RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

  1. Open the dispenser  B by pressing and pulling up the tab on the
  2. Pour in the rinse aid ( max.110 ml ), making sure it does not overflow from the If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
  3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.

NEVER   pour   the   rinse   aid   directly into   the   appliance   tub.

ADJUSTING THE DOSAGE OF RINSE AID

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust the quantity of rinse aid used.

  • Switch the dishwasher on using the  ON/OFF
  • Switch it off using the  ON/OFF
  • Press button  P  three times – a beep will be
  • Switch it on using the  ON/OFF
  • The current selection level number and rinse aid indicator light
  • Press button  P to select the level of rinse aid quantity to be
  • Switch it off using the  ON/OFF button
The setting is complete!

If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO (ECO), no rinse aid will be supplied. The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid. A maximum of 5 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model. The factory setting is specific to the model, please follow instruction above to check this for your machine.

  • 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

To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device C. Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser D only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.

  1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the mentioned earlier infor-mation to add the proper quantity. Inside the dispenser D there are indi-cations to help the detergent dosing.
  2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and clo-se the cover until it clicks.
  3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the program. If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABLET button, because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.

Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause mal-function or damage to the appliance.

PROGRAMS TABLE

LOADING THE RACKS

CUTLERY RACK

The third rack was designed to house the cutlery. Arrange the cutlery as shown in the figure. A separate arrangement of the cutlery makes collection easier after washing and improves washing and drying performance.

Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be positioned with the blades facing downwards.

The geometry of the rack makes it possible to place such small items as coffee cups in the area in the middle.


The cutlery basket is equipped with two sliding side trays to make the most of the height of the space be-low and enable the loading of high items into upper rack.

UPPER RACK

Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls. The upper rack has tip-up sup-ports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/ dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers.

FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION

The side foldable flaps can be fold or unfold to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the foldable flaps by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.

Depending on the model:

  • to unfold the flaps there is needed to slide it up and rotate or release it from the snaps and pull it down.
  • to fold the flaps there is needed to rotate it and slide flaps down or pull it up and attach flaps to the snaps.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK

The height of the upper rack can be adjusted: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and low position to make the most of the tip-up supports by creating more space upwards and avoid collision with the items loaded into lower rack. The upper rack is equipped with a Upper Rack height adjuster ( see figure ), without pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable in its upper position. To restore to the lower position, press the levers A at the sides of the rack and move the basket downwards.

We strongly recommend that you do not adjust the height of the rack when it is loaded. NEVER raise or lower the basket on one side only.

LOWER RACK

Whirlpool-WIO-3O41-PL-Freestanding-Dishwasher-FIG-18

For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences with the spray arm. The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical po-sition when arranging plates or in a horizontal position ( lower ) to load pans and salad bowls easily.

POWER CLEAN

Power Clean uses the special water jets in the rear of cavity to wash more intensively the high dirty items. The lower rack has a Space Zone, a special pull-out support in the rear of the rack that can be used to support frying pans or baking pans in upright position, thus taking up less space. Placing the pots/casseroles faced to the Power Clean® component please activate the POWER CLEAN on the panel.

How to use Power Clean:

  1. Adjust the Power Clean area G folding down the rear plate holders to load pots.
  2. Load pots and casseroles inclined vertically in Power Clean area. Pots have to be inclined towards the power water jets.

DAILY USE

  1. CHECK WATER CONNECTION: Check that the dishwasher is connected to the water supply and that the tap is open.
  2. SWITCH ON THE DISHWASHER:  Open the door and press the  ON/OFF  button.
  3. LOAD THE   RACK S (see LOADING THE RACKS).

ADVICE AND TIPS

TIPS

Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty the glasses.  You do not need to rinse beforehand under running water.

Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.

Warning: lids, handles, trays, and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating.

Place any small items in the cutlery basket. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance. After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.

UNSUITABLE CROCKERY

  • Wooden crockery and
  • Delicately decorated glasses, artistic handicrafts, and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
  • Parts in synthetic material that do not withstand high
  • Copper and tin
  • Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or

The colors of glass decorations and aluminum/silver pieces can change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles too.

DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY

  • Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe.
  • Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery
  • Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle is over.
TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING
  • When the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions,  washing tableware in a dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water than hand dishwashing.
  • In order to maximize dishwasher efficiency it is recommended to  initiate the wash cycle once the dishwasher is fully loaded. Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water Information on the correct loading of tableware can be found in the Loading chapter.
  • In case of partial loading, it is recommended to use dedicated wash options if available (Half load/ Zone Wash, Multizone), filling up only selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading the dishwasher may increase resource usage (such as water, energy, and time, as well as increase noise levels), reducing cleaning and drying performance.
  • Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended.

HYGIENE

To avoid odor and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwasher please run a high-temperature program at least once a month. Use a teaspoon of detergent and run it without loading to clean your appliance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE FILTER ASSEMBLY

Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do not clog and that the waste water flows away correctly. Using a dishwasher with clogged filters or foreign objects inside the filtration system or spray arms may cause unit malfunction resulting in loss of performance, noisy work, or higher resource usage. The filter assembly consists of three filters that remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water.

The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.

At least once per month or after every 30 cycles, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:

  1. Turn the cylindrical filter  A in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (Fig 1).
  2. Remove the cup filter  B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (Fig 2).
  3. Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter  C (Fig 3).
  4. In case you find foreign objects (such as broken glass, porcelain, bones, or fruit seeds )  please remove them carefully.
  5. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues.  NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

Whirlpool-WIO-3O41-PL-Freestanding-Dishwasher-FIG-21

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE WATER INLET HOSE

If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

On occasions, food residue may become encrusted onto the spray arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is, therefore, recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush. To remove the upper spray arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper spray arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.

The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards.

WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required to refill   salt   containers   when   empty. The frequency of regeneration depends on the water hardness level setting – regeneration takes place once per  5 Eco cycles with the water hardness level set to 3. The regeneration process starts in the final rinse and finishes in the drying phase before the cycle ends.

  • Single regeneration consumes:  ~3.5L of water;
  • Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;
  • Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.
