Water Softener

  • The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
  • The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
  • The higher the content of these minerals and salts, the harder your water is.
  • The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption.

Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.

  1. Switch on the appliance;
  2. Press the Start/Pause button for more than 5 seconds to start the water softener set model within 60seconds after the appliance was switched on;
  3. Press the Start/Pause 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;
  4. Press the On/Off button or no operation for 5 seconds to end the set-up model.

  • 1°dH = 1.25°Clarke=1.78° fH=0.178mmol/l
  • °dH: German degree
  • °fH: French degree
  • °Clark: British degree

Note: 2

  • The manufactory setting: H3 (EN 50242)

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

NOTE:
If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section.

WATER SOFTENER

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

Loading the Salt Into the Softener
Always use the salt intended for use with the dishwasher. The salt container is located beneath the lower basket and should be filled as explained in the following:

Attention!

  • Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers! Every other type 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 damages caused.
  • 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 spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period, which may cause corrosion.

ALHAFIDH-DW141WW-Free-Standing-Dishwasher-fig- \(5\)

  • A. After the lower basket has been removed, unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container. 1
  • B. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1.5kg of dishwasher salt.
  • C. Full fill the salt container with water, it is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container. 2
  • D. After filling the container, screw the cap tightly back clockwise.
  • E. The salt warning light will stop after the salt container has been filled with salt.
  • F. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (We suggest using a short program). Otherwise, the filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is out of warranty.

NOTE:

  1. The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled. If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some Models), you can estimate when to fill the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
  2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excessive salt.

Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located 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 volume of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.

Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak-free drying.

Attention!
Only use a branded rinse aid for the dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, you can estimate the amount from the colour of the optical level indicator”C “located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the whole indicator will be dark .As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid level fall 1/4 full.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

  • Full
  • 3/4 full
  • 1/2 full
  • 1/4 full – Should refill to eliminate spotting
  • Empty
  1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the “open” (left) arrow and lift it out.
  2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
  3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with the “open” arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.ALHAFIDH-DW141WW-Free-Standing-Dishwasher-fig- \(12\)

NOTE:
Clean up any rinse aid spilled while filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher door.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has six or four settings. Always start with the dispenser set on “4”. If spots and poor drying are a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to “5”. If the dishes still are not drying properly or are showing spots, adjust the dial to the next higher lever until your dishes are spot-free. The recommended setting is “4”. (Factory value is “4” .)

Function of Detergent
Detergents with chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial-quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

Attention!

Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.

Detergents

There are 3 sorts of detergents

  • With phosphate and chlorine
  • With phosphate and without chlorine
  • Without phosphate and chlorine

Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. Thus the water softener function of phosphate is not given. In this case, we recommend filling salt in the salt container even when the hardness of water is only 6 °dH. If detergents without phosphate are used in the case of hard water often white spots appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will not be removed completely. In this case please choose a program with a higher temperature.

Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split in two basic types:

  • conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
  • Low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes

Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason, some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs. Therefore please use long programs when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the wash cycle table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than a Conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Amount of Detergent to Use

ALHAFIDH-DW141WW-Free-Standing-Dishwasher-fig- \(14\)

NOTE:

  • If the lid is closed: press the release button. The lid will spring open.
  • Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
  • Only use branded detergent aid for dishwashers.

WARNING!
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.

Fill in Detergent
Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels, as illustrated on the right:

  • A. The place of main wash cycle detergent was placed.
  • B. The place of pre-wash cycle detergent placed.

Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent chamber. This detergent will take effect during the pre- wash phase.

NOTE:

  • You find information about the amount of detergent for the single program on the last page.
  • Please be aware, that according to the level of soiling and the specific hardness of water, differences are possible.
  • Please observe the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent packaging.

Loading the Dishwasher Baskets

Recommendation

  • Consider buying utensils that are identified as dishwasher-proof.
  • Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek further information from the detergent manufacturers.
  • For particular items, select a program with as low a temperature as possible.
  • To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the programme has ended.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes

Are not suitable

  • Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-pearl handles
  • Plastic items that are not heat-resistant
  • Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature-resistant
  • Bonded cutlery items or dishes

  • Crystal glass
  • Steel items subject to rusting
  • Wooden platters
  • Items made from synthetic fibres

Are of limited suitability

  • Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes
  • Silver and aluminium parts tend to discolour during washing
  • Glazed patterns may fade if machine-washed frequently

Attention before or after loading the Dishwasher Baskets

  • (For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.
  • Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.)
  • Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.
  • It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.

Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:

  • Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
  • Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
  • AII utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
  • AII utensils are placed in a way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.

NOTE:
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.

  • Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. The opening faces 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 basket.
  • The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups
  • 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.
  • Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption of energy.

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.

The Method Loading Normal Dishware

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.

Please be reminded that:

  • Pots, serving bowls, etc, must always be placed top down.
  • Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
  • The Bottom Basket features folding spikes so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

Loading the Lower Basket
We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult-to-clean items are to be placed into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure below. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.

Adjusting the Upper Basket
The height of the upper 6asRet can be adjusted to create more space for large utensils both for the upper/lower basket. The height of the upper basket can be adjusted by placing the wheels on different heights of the rails. Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers and knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms.

Lower position Upper position

Folding back the cup shelves
For better stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can be folded down as shown in the picture below.

Folding Spikes of Lower Basket
For Better storage of pots and pans, the spikes can be folded down as shown in the picture right.

Cutlery Basket
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery rack separately from each other in the appropriate positions, and make sure the utensils do not nest together, this may cause bad performance.

For a top quality clean Ing, place the silverware In the basket making sure that:

  • They do not nest together.
  • SIiverware is placed with the male face up.
  • Long utensils In the middle.

  • Unloading the dishwasher
    • Normally, the dishwasher is wet inside.
    • Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one. This will prevent water from dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

WARNING!
It is dangerous to open the door when washing, because the hot water may scald you.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Filtering System
The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump. The residues may block the filter, in this case, they must be removed.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter,a flat (Main filter) And a microfilter(Fine filter).

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

  2. Coarse filler
    Larger items, such as pieces of bones or glass, that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift out.

  3. Eioe filler
    This filter holds soil and food residues in the sump area and prevents it from being deposited on the dishes during the wash cycle.

Filter assembly
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing ii to be recycled during the cycle. For best performance and results, the filter must be cleaned regularly. 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 filler device, pull the cup handle in the upward direction.

WARNING!

  • 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.

NOTE:
When following this procedure from step1 to Step 2, the filter system will be removed; when following it from Step 2 to Step 1, the filter system will be installed.

Remarks:

  • Inspect the filters for blocking after every time the dishwasher has been used.
  • By unscrewing the coarse filter, you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water.

NOTE:
The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week.

Cleaning the Filter
To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures on the last page and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning it in its seat and pressing downwards.

WARNING!
When cleaning the filters, don’t knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance of the dishwasher could be decreased.

Caring for the Dishwasher

  • The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth.
  • After cleaning, make sure to dry it thoroughly.
  • For the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax.
  • Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Cleaning The Door
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp cloth. To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

WARNING!

  • Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may damage the door lock and electrical components.
  • Abrasive agents or some paper towels should not be used because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

Protect Against Freezing
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every time after washing cycles, please operate as follows,

  1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher.
  2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
  3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the water)
  4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
  5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in the sump.

NOTE:
If your dishwasher cannot work because of the ice, please contact professional service persons.

Cleaning the Spray Arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings.

  • To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut, and 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.

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape

  • After Every Wash
    After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odours are 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. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water.
    • To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
  • When not in Use for a long time
    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 open. This will help the door seals to 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 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.

Installation instruction

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, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear. This precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet being blocked and damaging the appliance.

WARNING!
Please close the hydrant after using it.

Drain hose Connection
Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 40mm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The top of the hose must be less than 1000mm.

PLEASE HANG UP THE DRAIN HOSE EITHER WAY OF A, B

How to Drain Excess Water From Hoses
If the sink is 1000 higher than the floor, the excess water in the hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. II 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

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

Extension Hose

  • If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar 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 less than 1000 mm (maximum) from the bottom of the dish. The water drain hose should be fixed.
