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.
• THE SALT RESERVOIR must BE NEVER 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 on 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 procedure 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 button.
• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• Hold down button START/Pause for 5 seconds, until you hear a beep.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
• The current selection level number and the salt indicator light both flash.
• Press button P to select the desired hardness level (see WATER HARDNESS TABLE).

• Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button. The setting is complete! 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 of limescale accumulation. Using of Salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.

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 lid.
2. Pour in the rinse aid (max.110 ml), making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. 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 button.
• Switch it off using the ON/OFF button.
• Press the button START/Pause three times – a beep will be heard.
• Switch it on using the ON/OFF button.
• The current selection level number and rinse aid indicator light flash.
• Press button P to select the level of rinse aid quantity to be supplied.
• Switch it off using the ON/OFF button Setting is complete

If the rinse aid level is set to 1, 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 the instructions above to check this for your machine.

• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (2-3).
• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set a mid-range number (4-5).

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 information to add the proper quantity. Inside the dispenser D, there are indications to help the detergent dosing.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close 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 malfunction or damage to the appliance.

PROGRAMS TABLE

ECO program data is measured under laboratory conditions according to European Standard EN 60436:2020. Note for Test Laboratories: For information on comparative EN testing conditions, please send an email to the following address: dwtestsupport@whirlpool.com Pre- treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs.

• Not all options can be used simultaneously.
•  Values given for programs other than the program Eco are indicative only. The actual time may vary depending on many factors such as temperature and pressure of the incoming water, room temperature, amount of detergent, quantity and type of load, load balancing, additional selected options and sensor calibration. The sensor calibration can increase program duration up to 20 min.

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.

UPPER RACK

(loading example for the upper rack)

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

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK

The height of the upper rack can be adjusted: a high position to place bulky crockery in the lower basket and a low position to make the most of the tip- -up supports by creating more space upwards and avoiding collision with the items loaded into the lower rack. The upper rack is equipped with an 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 lever 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.

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 it 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.

LOWER RACK

(loading example for the lower rack

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 that can be used in a vertical position 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 the 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 an 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 by folding down the rear plate holders to load pots.
2. Load pots and casseroles inclined vertically in the 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
   Press the ON/OFF button.

3. LOAD THE RACKS (see LOADING THE RACKS).

4. FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

5. CHOOSE THE PROGRAM AND CUSTOMISE THE CYCLE Select the most appropriate program in accordance with the type of crockery and its soiling level (see PROGRAMS DESCRIPTION) by press-ing the P button.
   Select the desired options (see OPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS).

6. START
   Start the wash cycle by pressing the START/Pause button. When the program starts you hear a beep.

7. END OF WASH CYCLE
   The end of the wash cycle is indicated by beeps and the display shows End. Open the door and switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery – to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower one.
   The machine will switch off automatically during certain extended periods of inactivity, to minimise electricity consumption. If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.

MODIFYING A RUNNING PROGRAM
If a wrong program was selected, it is possible to change it, provided that it has only just begun: press and hold the ON/OFF button, the machine will switch off. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle and any desired options; start the cycle by pressing the START/PAUSE button.
ADDING EXTRA CROCKERY
Without switching off the machine, open the door (beware of HOT steam!) and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door and press the START/Pause button the cycle will begin from the point at which it was interrupted.
ACCIDENTAL INTERRUPTIONS
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a power cut, the cycle stops. Once the door has been closed or the electricity supply is restored, to start again the cycle from where it was interrupted, press the START/Pause button. To disable the DEMO MODE the following actions must be carried out in sequence, without breaks. Switch the machine ON and then switch it OFF again. Press the DELAY button until the buzzer is heard. Switch the machine on again. The “dOF” indicator flashes and then turns OFF.

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 spray-er 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 cutlery.
• Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicrafts and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material that do not withstand high temperatures.
• Copper and tin crockery.
• Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink. The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/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 savings. Information on the correct loading of tableware can be found in the LOADING THE RACKS 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 level), 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 odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwasher please run a high-temperature program at least one 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.  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 resources usage. The filter assembly consists of three filters which 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, fruit seeds etc.) please remove them carefully.
5. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (Fig 4).

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, 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 a 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 the salt containers when empty. The frequency of regeneration depends on the water hardness level setting – regeneration takes place once per 6 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.
