Frequently Asked Questions - DWC5500 SALORA

How do I install the dishwasher?

Ensure the dishwasher is placed on a level surface. Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water supply with a 3/4 inch thread. Connect the drain hose to the sink drain or a dedicated drain pipe. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. For detailed steps, refer to the installation section of the manual.

How do I clean the filter?

Turn off the dishwasher and remove the lower rack. Rotate the coarse filter to unlock and lift it out. Rinse both the fine and coarse filters under running water. Reassemble by aligning the marks and turning clockwise until locked. Clean the filter at least once a month.

What do the error codes mean?

Common error codes: E1 – water intake problem, E4 – water overflow, E9 – heating element issue. If an error appears, consult the troubleshooting section of the manual. Reset by turning off the appliance for 30 seconds.

Why is my dishwasher not starting?

Check that the door is fully closed and latched. Ensure the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. Verify that the water supply is open. If the appliance still does not start, press and hold the Start button for 3 seconds to reset.

What type of detergent should I use?

Use a detergent specifically for dishwashers in powder, gel, or tablet form. Do not use hand dishwashing liquid. For best results, adjust the dosage based on water hardness. Fill the detergent dispenser before starting a cycle.

Do I need to use rinse aid?

Rinse aid improves drying and prevents water spots. Fill the rinse aid dispenser until the indicator is full. Adjust the dosage setting (1-6) depending on water hardness. If dishes are not drying properly, increase the rinse aid setting.

How do I add salt to the water softener?

Open the salt dispenser cap located at the bottom of the dishwasher. Fill with dishwasher-specific salt (not table salt) until the reservoir is full. Usually 1-2 kg. Replace the cap tightly. Run a rinse cycle if salt overflows.

How should I load the dishwasher for best cleaning?

Scrape off large food residues but do not rinse. Load plates facing downward, bowls tilted, and glasses in the top rack. Ensure water spray arms can rotate freely. Place larger items on the lower rack. Do not overload to allow water circulation.

Why are my dishes not drying properly?

Check that rinse aid is full and the setting is appropriate. Use the Extra Dry option if available. Open the door slightly after the cycle ends to let steam out. Ensure items are not blocking the drying vent. Polyester plastics dry poorly.

What is the recommended maintenance schedule?

Clean the filter monthly, check spray arms for blockages every 3 months, and run a maintenance cycle (e.g., with a dishwasher cleaner) every 6 months. Keep the door seal clean. For long vacations, disconnect water and power.

A. Loading the Salt Into the Softener

Always use salt intended for use with dishwasher.

The salt container is located beneath the basket 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 programmes. 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.

Diagram of a hand cleaning a mechanical component inside a device casing (no text or symbols visible)

A Remove the basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
B Before first wash, add 1lt. of water in the salt container of your machine.
Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1 kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.

After filling the container, screw the cap tightly back clockwise. Usually, the salt warning light will be cease to be illuminated within 2-6 days after the salt container has been filled with salt.

Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing programme should be started (Suggest choose rapid programme). Otherwise filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. It 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 fully the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be one even though the salt container is filled.
   If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (For some Models), you can judge when to load the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher had run.
2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excess salt.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

Step 1: Enter the status of salt adjustment

Close the door, within 60 seconds after power on, press Start/Pause button and hold for 5 seconds, the machine will enter setting mode.

Step 2: select a certain level of salt consumption

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

B. 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. That can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes. Yourdishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. Tofill 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.

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 branded rinse aid for 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 judge the amount of rinse-aid by the color 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 get below 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

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 "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

NOTE: Clean up any rinse aid split during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming

during the next wash. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close 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 problems, 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 spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. The recommended setting is "4". (Factory value is "4".)

NOTE:

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or abluish film on glassware or knife blades.

C. Function of Detergent

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

Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when the hardness of water is only 6°dH. If detergents without phosphate were used in case of hard water often white spots appear at 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 remove completely. In this case please choose a programme with higher Temperature.

Concentrated Detergent

Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher 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 programmes. Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

NOTE: Detergent tablets are only for the models with 3 in 1 function or 3 in 1 program.

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 then conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, 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

Close-up of a kitchen appliance with a spoon and control panel (no visible text or symbols)

NOTE:

■ If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid springs open.
■ Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
■ Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.

WARNING!

Dishwasher detergent is poisonous!

Take care to keep it out of reach of children.

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.

Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.

Fill in detergent

Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent.

The marking indicates the dosing levels, as

illustrated on right:

A The place of main wash cycle detergent placed.

B The place of pre-wash cycle detergent placed.

Please observe the manufacturers 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 programme on the last page.
■ Please aware, that according to the level soiling and the specific hardness of water differences are possible.
- Please observe the manufacturer's recommendations on the detergent packaging.

5. Loading the Dishwasher Baskets

Recommendation

• Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
  ■ Use a mild detergent that is described as 'kind of dishes'. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers.
  ■ For particular items, select a programme with as low a temperature.
  ■ 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 Are of limited suitability

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

Fine filter B

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

Coarse filter C

Larger items, such as pieces of bone 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.

Filter assembly

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be re-cyclated during the cycle. For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be regularly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapping in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction.

WARNING!

Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.

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.

Step1: contrarotate the filter assembly(A,B and C), then lift it all up.

Step2: lift B and C up from A;

The End.

NOTE: If do it from step1 to step 3, the filter system will be removed; while if do it from Step 3 to Step 1, the filter system will be installed.

Remarks:

• Inspect the filters for blocking 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 in the last page and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.

WARNING!

When cleaning the filters, don't knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance of dishwasher could be debased.

Caring for the Dishwasher

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 odors 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 with a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

■ When it is not in need for a long time It is recommend 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 ast 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 odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
