Frequently Asked Questions - GV693A61AD GORENJE

How do I install the GV693A61AD dishwasher?
Ensure the installation site has a water supply, drain, and power outlet. Level the dishwasher using the adjustable feet. Connect the inlet hose to a cold water supply (max 60°C). The drain hose can be connected to the sink drain or a dedicated waste pipe. For precise steps, refer to the installation chapter in the user manual.
What detergent should I use?
Use a phosphate-free dishwasher detergent in tablet, powder, or gel form. For best results, use a combined detergent with salt and rinse aid functions. Adjust the dosage according to water hardness.
How do I start a wash cycle?
Load the dishes properly, add detergent, close the door, and press the Power button. Select the desired program (e.g., Eco 50°C for normal soil) using the program selector. Then press Start. The display shows the remaining time.
The dishwasher is not draining water. What should I do?
Check if the drain hose is kinked or clogged. Clean the filter under the lower spray arm. Also inspect the drain pump for obstructions. After resolving, run a drain cycle. If the issue persists, contact service.
How do I clean the filter?
Turn off the dishwasher and remove the lower basket. Unscrew the coarse filter and fine filter assembly. Rinse them under running water, removing any debris. Reassemble and ensure they are properly locked. Clean the filters monthly.
Can I use rinse aid for better drying?

Installation

See the chapter Installation.

Overflow guard

The overflow guard starts pumping out the water and turns off the water supply if the water level in the dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If the overflow guard is triggered, F54 (Overfilling water) appears on the display. Turn off the water tap and contact your nearest service centre. (To avoid water leakage outside the dishwasher, do not remove the plug from the wall socket until the water tap on the supply line has been turned off!)

Packaging

The outer packaging protects the product during transport. The packaging material is recyclable. Separate the different packaging materials to help reduce raw material use and waste. Your dealer can take the packaging for recycling or direct you to the nearest recycling centre. The packaging is comprised of:

  • Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recycled material.
  • Expanded polystyrene (EPS) with no added chlorine or fluorine. • Supports made from untreated wood.
  • Protective plastic made from polyethylene (PE).

Disposal

The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling. When the dishwasher has reached the end of its service life and is to be disposed of, it should immediately be made unusable. Pull out the power cable and cut it as short as possible. Remove the light source/lightsources.

Before washing for the first time

1. Water hardness

In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher.

Checking water hardness

Water hardness is specified using German degrees of water hardness (°dH), French degrees of water hardness (°fH), English degrees of water hardness (°eH) or millimoles per litre (mmol/l).

A water supply with a water hardness in excess of 5°dH (9°fH/6°eH/0.9 mmol/l) must be softened. This is done automatically with the aid of the built-in water softener. In order for the water softener to function properly, its settings must be adjusted to the hardness of the water supply. Once you have adjusted the water softener settings, add detergent and rinse aid in doses suitable for soft water.

Contact the local waterworks to check the water hardness in your area.

Make a note of the water hardness:

Recommendedsettingmmol/l°eH°fH°dH
4:000.0-0.90-60-90-5
4:011.0-1.47-1010-146-8
4:021.5-2.011-1415-209-11
4:032.1-2.515-1821-2512-14
4:042.6-3.419-2426-3415-19
4:053.5-4.325-3035-4320-24
4:064.4-5.231-3644-5225-29
4:075.3-7.037-4953-7030-39
4:087.1-8.850-6171-8840-49
4:098.9628950

If the water hardness exceeds 50° dH (89° fH/62° eH/8.9 mmol/l), we recommend connecting an external water softener.

Increased consumption during regeneration

The dishwasher's built-in water softener is regularly regenerated to maintain its function. Regeneration extends the dishwashing program and increases energy and water consumption. Just how often the dishwasher's water softener is regenerated depends on the selected setting.

Example: If the Eco55° program is run with a water hardness of 14° dH (25° fH/18° eH/2.5 mmol/l), the water softener is regenerated at regular intervals (after 7 dishwashing cycles), energy consumption increases by 0.015 kWh, and water consumption increases by 2.3 litres, while the program time is extended by 3 minutes. Regeneration takes place during the program's main wash.

GORENJE GV693A61AD - Increased consumption during regeneration - 1

WARNING!

Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and inside the dishwasher. It is therefore important that you select the right setting for the water softener! See Water hardness in the chapter Settings.

Never run the dishwasher with an empty salt compartment if the water supply has a water hardness in excess of 5°dH (9°fH/6°eH/0.9 mmol/l).

2. Basic settings

The first time the dishwasher is switched on, it is important that you choose the right settings to ensure good dishwashing results. See page 22.

Setup:

• Rinse aid • Water hardness • TAB (All-in-one detergent) • Automatic dosing of detergent

3. Top up with rinse aid

Lift up to open. Press to close.

Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with clear and spotless dishes.

Top up the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid if you have selected Rinse aid 3:01-3:05.

  1. Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
  2. Carefully top up with rinse aid to the level marked MAX. 3. Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment.
  3. Close the lid firmly.

Whether rinse aid needs topping up, the symbol lights on the display.

4. Top up with salt

Diagram showing a mechanical component with a circular part and a base, both rotating. No text or symbols present.

For a water supply with a hardness above 5°dH (9°fH/6°eH/0.9 mmol/l), fill with salt.

Add salt to the salt compartment if you have selected Water hardness 4:01-4:09.

  1. Remove the salt compartment lid by turning it anticlockwise.
  2. Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt compartment top-up hole. Before washing for the first time, pour in about 1 liter of water. (Water is only needed the first time.) 3. Add enough salt to fill the salt compartment (max. 750 grams). Use special dishwasher salt.
  3. Wipe away excess salt and turn the lid clockwise until it is in the closed position.

When the salt needs topping up, the symbol lights on the display.

GORENJE GV693A61AD - Top up with salt - 2

WARNING!

In order to avoid rust stains, a dishwashing program must be started immediately after adding salt.

5. Top up dishwasher detergent for automatic dosing

Lift up to open.

Fill the automatic dosing compartment with dishwasher detergent gel if you have activated the Automatic dosing of detergent setting.

  1. Open the lid of the automatic dosing compartment for dishwasher detergent gel.
  2. Carefully add dishwasher detergent gel to the level marked MAX.
  3. Clean up any excess dishwasher detergent gel outside the compartment. 4. Close the lid firmly.

GORENJE GV693A61AD - Top up dishwasher detergent for automatic dosing - 2

NOTE!

Use only dishwasher detergent gel in the automatic dosing compartment! Do not use dishwasher detergent powder. Washing-up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively.

Some thick dishwasher detergent gels are not suitable for the automatic dosing compartment. Add very thick dishwasher detergent gel into the manual detergent compartment. See the detergent manufacturer's recommendations.

Dishwasher detergent gel has a milder formula than dishwasher detergent powder or all-in-one detergent with bleaching agent. This means that dishwasher detergent gel may prove less effective at removing stains caused by, for example, lipstick and tea/coffee. If necessary, on such occasions dishwasher detergent powder or all-in-one detergent with bleaching agent can be added to the manual detergent compartment (when automatic dosing of detergent is activated). See Add detergent.

When the dishwasher detergent gel needs topping up, the symbol appears on the display. (You can run 1-2 wash programs before the compartment is completely empty.)

Dosing of dishwasher detergent gel

Dishwasher detergent gel is dispensed during the main wash for all programs except Self-clean. A little extra dishwasher detergent gel is also dispensed during the prewash in the following programs:

Auto 45-65°

Intensive 70°

Greener dishwashing

Save energy and water

When using a dishwasher in a residential setting, less energy and water are generally used compared to washing the dishes by hand.

Do not rinse under running water

Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water consumption.

Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.

Choose a green detergent

Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!

Too much detergent, rinse aid and salt can result in less effective dishwashing and also entail greater environmental impact.

Run a fully loaded dishwasher

Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running a program (see number of standard place settings). Use the 1h 65° program with the Speedwash option to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours.

Run programs at a lower temperature

If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low temperature.

Select dishwashing program - Eco 55°

This program is suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most effective program in terms of combined energy and water consumption. This program is used to assess compliance with EU legislation on ecodesign.

The dishwashing program is designed for an effective wash using as little energy and water as possible. The program washes at a low temperature for a long time.

Selection - TotalDry

A shorter dishwashing program and better drying results are achieved if you use the TotalDry option, which automatically opens the dishwasher door. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program has ended and the dishes have cooled before unloading the dishwasher. (If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding furnishings must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)

Connect to cold water

Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.

Connect to hot water

Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70°C) if the building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water connection reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.

GORENJE GV693A61AD - Connect to hot water - 1

NOTE!

Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.

Loading the dishwasher

Fragile dishes

Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high heat, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent.

Exercise caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.

Loading affects the results

Load the dishes carefully to ensure the best washing and drying results with the lowest possible energy and water consumption. Give your dishwasher the best chance to reach and clean all surfaces, as well as to dry the dishes as thoroughly as possible.

  • All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards! • Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
  • Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
  • Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the top cutlery tray.

The dishwasher's baskets

The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an upper basket and a lower basket.

The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher setup.

Top cutlery tray

The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks, serving cutlery and similar items.

Using the dishwasher

Add detergent

You have two options for adding detergent – manual or automatic. To activate Automatic dosing of detergent, see the chapter Settings. The manual detergent compartment can be used as a supplement even when Automatic dosing of detergent is activated (e.g. for dishwasher detergent with bleaching agent or if the automatic dosing compartment is empty).

Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. This dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water.

Do not add detergent to the manual detergent compartment when using automatic detergent dosing! Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also entails greater environmental impact.

Manual detergent compartment

The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent.

Prewash detergent. Press to open. Main wash detergent. Close the lid.

If powder or liquid dishwasher detergent is used, add a small amount of the detergent to the compartment for prewash detergent.

GORENJE GV693A61AD - Manual detergent compartment - 2

NOTE!

Status light.

If you want to load more dishes

1)

Open the door. The dishwasher stops automatically. Add the dishes and close the door. After a while, the dishwasher continues the program.

If the dishwashing program was removed, the interrupted program will continue when the door is closed. You can monitor the dishwasher using the ConnectLife app and remotely stop the program, although you will not be able to restart it again.

Power failure

If the dishwasher is turned off due to a power failure while a dishwashing program is running, the program continues when power is restored. If the power is cut during drying, the program is interrupted.

If the dishwashing program was removed and has not ended, the program will continue once the power is restored. You can monitor the dishwasher using the ConnectLife app and remotely stop the program, although you will not be able to remotely start it again.

If you opened the door for more than 2 minutes during drying, the program will be interrupted.

Once the program has finished

The end of the program is indicated by one short signal from the buzzer. The chapter Settings describes how to change this function.

Moreover, the end of the program is indicated by the status light turning off.

Once the dishwasher door is opened and the program has finished, "End" appears on the display.

The dishwasher switches off automatically after the program ends. Shut off the water tap after each use (if required by your insurance company).

The best drying results

• Fully load the dishwasher. - Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items. - Top up with rinse aid or increase the rinse aid dosage setting. - Activate the Total Dry option. - Allow the dishes to cool before unloading the dishwasher.

Unloading the dishwasher

Hot porcelain is more fragile. Leave the dishes to cool in the dishwasher before unloading them.

Unload the lower basket first to avoid any water drops from the upper basket falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.

1) You can load more dishes within 5 minutes after you have started the dishwasher.

1) Consumption values vary depending on the temperature of the incoming water, room temperature, load size, selected additional functions and more. The values for the Eco 55° program are accurate, others are indicative only. The dishwasher's built-in water softener is regularly regenerated to maintain its function. Regeneration extends the dishwashing program and increases energy and water consumption. Just how often the dishwasher's water softener is regenerated depends on the selected setting. 2) This program is suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most effective program in terms of combined energy and water consumption. This program is used to assess compliance with EU legislation on ecodesign. 3) TotalDry

Installation

It is important that you read through and follow the instructions and directions below. Conduct installation and connection in accordance with these separate installation instructions.

598* 573 53 141 390 640 - 720** 816 - 890

1152 555 662 165 52 109 [mm]

*Remove the plastic strips if the recess dimension is 596-598 mm. Exercise caution! The edges may be sharp. Wear protective gloves! **Cover door length. Nominal dimensions. Actual measurements may vary.

Safety instructions

  • Connections to electricity, water and drainage must be performed by a qualified professional. • Always follow applicable regulations for water, drainage and electricity. • Take care during installation! Wear protective gloves! There must always be two people!
  • Place a drip tray on the floor beneath the dishwasher to prevent damage from any water leaks.
  • Before screwing the dishwasher into place, test the dishwasher by running the 1h65° program with the Speedwash option. Check that the dishwasher fills with water and drains. Check also that none of the connections leak.

GORENJE GV693A61AD - Safety instructions - 1

WARNING!

Turn off the water supply when installing the dishwasher!

The plug must be disconnected or power to the socket turned off while the work is carried out!

Setup

  • The recess and connection dimensions are included in the separate installation instructions. Check that all dimensions are correct before starting the installation. Note that the height of the cover door can be adjusted to match other fittings.
  • Make sure the area on which the dishwasher is to be installed is firm. Adjust the adjustable feet so that the dishwasher is level.
  • If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding furnishings must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.
  • Mount the protective film beneath the worktop and up around the edge. The function of the protective film is to protect the worktop from moisture. (The protective film is in the enclosed plastic bag.)
  • Check that the machine is installed such that the door opens freely, otherwise door lock functionality may be disrupted.
  • Note that the door springs may need adjusting after a cover door has been fitted. Adjust the left and right door springs equally until the door is evenly balanced.

Drainage connection

This dishwasher is suitable for installing in a raised recess (to attain an ergonomic working height). This means that the dishwasher can be placed so that the drainage hose runs to a lower level than the bottom of the dishwasher, such as by routing it directly to a floor drain.

The drainage hose can also be connected to a connection nipple on the sink unit's water trap. The connection nipple must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm.

The drainage hose may be extended by a maximum of 3 m (the total length of the drainage hose must not exceed 4.5 m). Any joints and connecting pipes must have an internal diameter of at least 14 mm.

No part of the drainage hose may be more than 950 mm above the bottom of the dishwasher.

Attach the drainage hose with a hose clamp. Ensure that the drainage hose has no kinks.

Connection to water supply

Use only the inlet hoses supplied with the dishwasher. Do not re-use old or other spare hoses.

The supply pipe must be fitted with a water tap (stopcock). The water tap must be easily accessible, so that the water can be shut off if the dishwasher has to be moved.

Once the installation is complete, turn on the water tap and allow the pressure to settle for a while. Check that all connections are watertight.

Connection to cold water supply

Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity, or gas.

Connection to hot water supply

Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70°C) if the building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power, or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water connection reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.
