Frequently Asked Questions - DWBS18 ZLine

What should I do if my dishwasher won't start?
Check the power supply and ensure it is connected. Verify that the delay start option is not selected. If your model has a child lock, deactivate it. Refer to the manual for detailed troubleshooting.
How do I clean the filters?
Turn off the dishwasher. Rotate the filter insert counterclockwise to unfasten and remove it. Remove the fine filter. Clean them under running water. Reinstall by reversing the steps.
Why are my dishes not drying properly?
Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled. Check that you are using rinse aid. Also, select a cycle that includes a drying phase, such as Heavy or Normal with heating dry option. Proper loading also helps.
What does error code E1 mean?
E1 indicates that the flow meter did not detect water after 4 minutes during the water inlet step. Check the water supply, inlet valve, hose connections, and ensure the water pressure is adequate.
Can I use regular dish soap?
No, only use automatic dishwasher detergent. Regular dish soap can cause excessive suds, leading to leaks and poor cleaning.
How do I adjust the door spring tension?
Rotate the adjusting screw on the door spring to either strain or relax the steel cable. The door should remain horizontal when fully opened and rise to close with a slight lift of a finger.
My dishwasher is leaking. What could be wrong?
Check if the dishwasher is level. Ensure you are using automatic dishwasher detergent only (not regular soap). Inspect the door seal and hose connections for damage or looseness.
How do I use the delay start feature?
Press the delay start pad until the desired delay time (1-24 hours) appears on the LED display. Then press Start/Cancel and close the door within 4 seconds. The dishwasher will start after the delay.
What is the smart wash system?
The smart wash system automatically senses the soil level of the dishes. For lightly soiled partial loads, it runs a shorter cycle; for heavily soiled full loads, it runs a heavy cycle, optimizing water and energy usage.
How do I install the decorative door?
Install the hook and brackets on the decorative door. Put the hook into the slot of the outer door. Fix the decorative door onto the outer door using the provided screws and bolts. Adjust door spring tension if needed.

INSTALLING THE DISHWASHER

If the dishwasher is a new installation, most of the installation work must be done before the dishwasher is moved into place. If the dishwasher is replacing an old dishwasher, you must check the existing dishwasher connections for compatibility with the new dishwasher. Replace the existing connections as necessary.

Step 2: Select the Best Location for the Dishwasher

The following criteria are important to ensure the best location for the dishwasher:

The location must have a solid floor that is able to support the weight of the dishwasher.

The location must be near a sink with easy access to the water supply, drain, and electrical outlet.

For the drain to operate properly, the dishwasher should be installed within 9.8 ft of the sink.

The location must let you load your dishes into the dishwasher easily.

The location must have sufficient space for the dishwasher door to open easily and provide enough space between the dishwasher and the cabinet sides (at least 0.1 in).

If the dishwasher is installed in a corner, ensure that the side of the dishwasher is more than 2 inches from the wall or cabinet.

The wall at the back must be free of obstructions.

If this is a new installation, follow these steps:

  1. Using a hole saw, cut a hole into the side of the cabinet that hold the sink as shown in Figure 1-1 below.

  2. If the base inside the sink cabinet is raised above the kitchen floor and is higher than the connections on the dishwasher, make a hole in the base inside the cabinet and in the cabinet side as shown in Figure 1-2.

Depending on where your electrical outlet is, you may need to cut a hole in the opposite cabinet side.

The hole for the water supply line, drain hose and power cables.

ZLine DWBS18 - Step 2: Select the Best Location for the Dishwasher - 2

natural_image Isometric line drawing of a kitchen sink with faucet and drain (no text or symbols)

Figure 1-1 Figure 1-2

Step 3: Check Water Supply Requirements and Cautions

The hot water supply line pressure must be between 0.04-1 MPa.
Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120°F\~149°F.

The dishwasher must be connected to a hot water supply between

120°F\~149 °F. This temperature range provides the best

washing result and shortest cycle time. Temperature should not

exceed 149°F to prevent damage to dishes.

Ensure that the water supply valve is turned off before connecting the hot water supply line to the dishwasher.

Seal the hot water supply line connections using teflon tape or sealing compound to stop any water leakage.

When you install the dishwasher, ensure there is nothing on the drain hose and be careful not to tear it during the installation process.

Figure 2
Power cable Hot Water Supply Line 5½~7½ in. (135 ~ 185mm)

Step 4: Check the Electrical Requirements and Cautions

The electrical requirements for the dishwasher are as follows:

In the United States, install in accordance with the National Electric Code/State and Municipal codes and/or local codes.

For cable direct connections.

Use flexible, armored or non-metallic sheathed, copper wire with a grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for your local codes and ordinances.

Use the strain relief method provided with the wiring junction box or install a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified clamp connector to the wiring junction box. If using conduit, use a U.L.-listed/CSA-certified conduit connector.

Step 5: Unpacking and Inspecting the Dishwasher

Unbox the dishwasher in an open area free of obstruction both around the carton and overhead. We recommend that you retain the carton and all of the packing materials until the dishwasher is fully installed and operational to ensure you have removed all the product's components from the carton prior to disposal.

Unboxing

  1. Unbuckle or cut the four straps securing the carton top.
  2. Lift the top of the telescoping carton clear of the carton tray and the contents, and then turn it over and place it on the floor.
  3. Put the straps and all of the packing materials from around the dishwasher inside the carton top, inspecting them for any signs of damage.
  4. Lift the dishwasher from the carton tray, and then place it on the floor. Put the tray into the carton top.
  5. Remove the bag that protects the dishwasher during shipping.

CAUTION

ALWAYS LIFT THE DISHWASHER TO MOVE IT.

Sliding it over rough surfaces can damage the dishwasher's feet and sliding the feet over finished surfaces can, in some cases, damage that finish or the underlying surface.

  1. There is also packing inside the dishwasher that you may want to leave in place until the dishwasher is installed.
  2. Do not, under any circumstances, remove the sound-absorbent padding that surrounds the exterior of the tub of the dishwasher.

Mechanical Inspection

  1. Check the plastic base assembly to ensure that it is intact.
  2. Check the dishwasher's feet to ensure they are in place and can be adjusted so you can level and secure the dishwasher.
  3. Check all the visible components on the bottom of the dishwasher to ensure they are intact and secure.
  4. Check the door latch, the operation of the hinges, and confirm the door is properly secured to the dishwasher.

Step 5: Unpacking and Inspecting the Dishwasher Continued

Plumbing Inspection

  1. Check the hot water connection on the front left side of the base of the dishwasher. The mounting plate should be secured to the front of the base, the threads inside the connection should be smooth and shiny, and the area should be clean and free of any debris.
  2. Check the plastic brake and sensor cases to ensure these assemblies are not cracked and that all connections are secure.
  3. Check the drain hose for any holes or deformities that could allow a water leak during draining.

Electrical Inspection

  1. Confirm the junction box cover is secured to the junction box on the front right side of the base of the dishwasher.
  2. Confirm the electrical box was not damaged during shipping and that it is secured to the base of the dishwasher.

Appearance Inspection

  1. Confirm there are no dents or scratches on the front of the dishwasher
  2. Check the edges of the doors for any roughness or cracking
  3. Check the control panel to ensure it is clear and unscratched, and that all the control markers are in their proper places.

Parts Inspection

  1. Confirm you have all the parts listed in step 1.

Step 6: Preparing the Dishwasher

Step 9: Securing the Dishwasher

You must fix the dishwasher to the countertop or cabinet side walls for additional stability.

If the countertop is made of wood or the material will not be damaged by drilling, follow the instructions in 1 below.

If the countertop is made of granite, marble, or any other material that can be damaged by drilling, follow the Instructions in 2 below.

  1. Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent wood shavings or a dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher.

Carefully drill screw holes into the counter top bottom by passing the drill bit through a screw hole in each bracket, and then drilling into the counter top bottom beneath.

Make sure the hole you drill is smaller than the diameter of the screw.

Firstly, put the installation bracket into the slot of the side plane and tighten to the dishwasher with screw ST3.5*9. Secondly, insert the provided screws into the brackets, and then tighten to secure the dishwasher to the counter top.

  1. Put a large towel into the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent wood shavings or a dropped screw from falling into the dishwasher. Remove the adjustment cap with the tip of a screwdriver. The caps are just inside the tub near the middle of the tub an both sides(Figure 9 on the next page).

Drill a hole into the sides of the kitchen cabinet on both sides by carefully passing a drill bit through the screw holes exposed by the removal of the spacer caps, and then drilling into the cabinet side beneath.

Make sure the hole you drill is smaller than the diameter of the screw.

Also make sure the drill bit does not strike the sides of the spacer cap holes. Firstly, put the installation bracket into the slot of the side plane and tighten to the dishwasher with screw ST3.5*9. Secondly, insert the provided screws into the holes, and then tighten to secure the dishwasher to the cabinet. Make sure the tub is not distorted by pressure from the screws.

  1. Check the size of the sink's drain hose connector (21mm (0.83 inches)- as shown in Figure 11 on the next page). If the end of the drain hose does not fit onto the drain hose connector of the sink, use an adaptor purchasable at a plumbing/hardware supply store.
  2. Slide a hose clamp over the end of the drain hose. Attach the drain hose to the sink connector, slide the hose clamp to the end of the hose, and then tighten the hose clamp.

Note :

You must use a hose clamp. Failure to do so may cause water leakage.

  1. If there is no air gap, make sure to hang the middle of the drain hose well above the sink cabinet base to prevent backflow (see Figure 13 on the next page).
  2. When drilling a hole for the drain hose on the cabinet wall, take caution not to damage the drain hose by sharp edges of the hole. On wooden walls, use sand paper to soften the edges. On metal walls, use insulation tape or duct tape to cover the sharp edges around the hole.
  3. Take caution not the damage the drain hose when installing the dishwasher on the floor, wall, or cabinet.

Step 10: Connecting the Drain Hose Continued

To prevent leaks or drainage problems, make sure the drain hose is not damaged, kinked, or twisted.

  1. Do not cut the wrinkled area of the drain hose to fit the size. When arranging the drain hose, take caution to avoid contact with sharp edges of the cabinet or undersink.

ZLine DWBS18 - Step 10: Connecting the Drain Hose Continued - 1

Be careful when cutting off the end of the drain hose as there is a risk of injury. Clean around the sink's drain connection so that it does not damage the hose. Check for any foreign items in the drain hose and remove them.

When arranging the drain hose, make sure the drain hose is not cut, torn, or broken by any sharp edges of the floor, the product itself, or the cabinet. A damaged drain hose causes a leak.

FEATURES OF YOUR NEW DISHWASHER

Filter System

Your dishwasher has a multiple filter system. In the system, there are three mesh filters. It can separate soiled water and clean water in different chambers.

The multiple filter system helps your dishwasher to get better performance with less water and less energy.

ZLine DWBS18 - Filter System - 1

natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbols

Smart Wash System

Your dishwasher has a smart wash system. When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a wash cycle similar to a short wash will automatically be performed.

When a full load of heavily soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle will automatically be performed. It can determine the type of cycle required to clean the dishes and will clean more efficiently every time.

ZLine DWBS18 - Smart Wash System - 1

natural_image Technical line drawings of a mechanical device with internal components and mounting brackets (no text or symbols)

How Your Dishwasher Cleans

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces.

The dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the multiple filter and spray arms. Separated soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water.

The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

Wash Cycle Selections

Cycle times are approximate and will vary with the options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate the detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming water temperature. If it is not at the appropriate temperature the timer will delay the cycle to allow automatic water heating during the main wash. When the HI-TEMP wash is selected an even higher temperature will be assured to handle heavier soil loads.

Getting Started

  1. Load the dishwasher (see dish preparation and loading sections).
  2. Add detergent (see filling the detergent dispenser).
  3. Add rinse aid (see filling the rinse aid dispenser).
  4. Select desired CYCLE (see cycle chart).

Dish Preparation

Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash system will remove the remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups. Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based products may

ZLine DWBS18 - Dish Preparation - 1

natural_image Illustration of hands pouring liquid from a circular container into a beaker (no text or symbols)

cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to rinse off these food soils. If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be sure the disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.

Loading the Upper Basket

The upper basket is designed for cups, glasses, small plates, bowls and plastic items marked dishwasher safe etc.

For best results, place the bowls, cups, glasses, and sauce pans with soiled surfaces facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.

Loading the Bottom Basket

The bottom basket is designed to load plates, soup bowls, plates, saucers and cookware. The adjustable basket space will allow you to load items with a maximum height of 11 inches.

The fold-down tines in the bottom basket make it easy to load those extra large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal use or folded down for more flexible loading. Fold down for more space to load large pots or pans.

ZLine DWBS18 - Loading the Bottom Basket - 1
WARNING

Make sure the loaded dishes do not interfere with the rotation of the middle spray arm, which is located at the bottom of the upper basket (check this by rotating the middle spray arm by hand). Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not interfere with the middle spray arm rotation. Make sure they do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening. Large items should be turned so that the inside faces downward. Make sure these items do not interfere with the lower spray arm rotation.

Loading the Lower Basket

The lower basket has been especially designed for dinner dishes, soup bowls, plates, pots, lids, casserole dishes, and plates.

Load large items such as pans and pots into the dishwasher so their open sides face downwards. We recommend loading cups, stemware, and small plates into the upper basket.

CAUTION

TO AVOID BURN INJURY: Slightly open door and wait until spray arms and wash action stop. Hot water may splash out of dishwasher. Failure to do so may result in injury.

Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser

Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture.

The heated dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid. The rinse aid dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse.

If the rinse aid is low, the rinse aid light is illuminated at the beginning and end of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill.

Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser

ZLine DWBS18 - Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser - 1

Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse greatly improves drying performance after the final rinse. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid. Under normal conditions, the rinse aid will last approximately one month. It is best to keep it full, but do not over fill.

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

  1. Open the detergent dispenser cap by pushing the detergent dispenser release catch.

The flap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle.

  1. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main wash detergent compartment.
  2. Close the flap and then press it down.

Filling the Rinse Aid Reservoir

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.

USER MAINTENANCE

Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary repairs, and lengthens it's life.

Cleaning the Exterior

It's best to clean spills on the outside of your dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft, damp cloth on the control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust. Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or alcohol. These materials may discolor the inner walls and cause stains. Do not clean the dishwasher by sprinkling water over it and avoid letting water come into contact with any of the electrical parts.

ZLine DWBS18 - Cleaning the Exterior - 1

If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, you can clean it with a stainless steel cleaner for home appliances or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the interior of your dishwasher periodically to remove any dirt or food particles. Wipe the inside of the dishwasher and the inner part of the door with a wet dishcloth. We recommend filling the detergent dispenser with dish detergent, and then running the dishwasher empty periodically using either the normal or rapid cycle with the sanitize option. This will keep your dishwasher clean.

If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, run the normal cycle with the dishwasher empty and without detergent until it flushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an 8 ounce cup of white vinegar into the lower basket. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle finish.

ZLine DWBS18 - Cleaning the Interior - 1

Do not remove the tub front seal (the long rubber seal encosing the opening of the dishwasher).

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

Cleaning the Filters

  1. Turn off the dishwasher.
  2. Rotate the filter insert
    counterclockwise to unfasten and then detach the filter insert.
  3. Remove the fine filter (flat, rectangular).
