Frequently Asked Questions - TDW1444BWH THOMSON

What is the actual energy class of the Thomson TDW1444BWH?

The TDW1444BWH holds an energy class B rating, with an energy efficiency index (EEI) of 379. On the ECO programme it consumes 0.645 kWh and 9.8 litres of water per cycle. Note: some third-party listings incorrectly state class A or A++ for this model.

What are the 7 wash programmes and what are they for?

The appliance features 7 programmes: AUTO (automatic soil detection, 150 min), Intensive (heavily soiled dishes, 60 degrees C, 175 min, 13.9 L), Universal (everyday loads, 60 degrees C, 150 min), ECO (EU reference programme at 50 degrees C, 235 min, 9.8 L), Glasses (delicate items, 120 min), 90 minutes (shortened standard wash) and Express (quick wash, 40 min). The ECO programme is the most energy and water efficient.

How do I set the water hardness level on the TDW1444BWH?

Within 60 seconds of switching the machine on, hold the Delayed Start button for 5 seconds until H3 appears on the display. Press it repeatedly to cycle through H1 (very soft, 0-5 dH) to H6 (very hard, 35-55 dH). The factory default is H3 (12-17 dH). Setting the correct hardness level protects the appliance and prevents limescale deposits on dishes.

What do the Intensive Wash, Turbo+ Speed, and Extra Drying options do?

These three add-on options are available with the Intensive, Universal, ECO, Glasses and 90-min programmes. Intensive Wash raises the main wash temperature for tougher soiling. Turbo+ Speed shortens the cycle duration at the cost of slightly higher water and energy consumption. Extra Drying increases the temperature at the end of the cycle for more thorough drying results.

How does the automatic door opening feature work?

At the end of a cycle, the door can open slightly to improve drying performance. To enable it, hold the child lock buttons simultaneously for more than 3 seconds until AO appears on the display. To disable, repeat the same action until AF is shown. This feature is not available with the Express programme.

How do I fill the salt reservoir, and what type of salt should I use?

Use only salt specifically formulated for domestic dishwashers, never table salt. Remove the lower basket, unscrew the reservoir cap, pour approximately 1.5 kg of salt using the supplied funnel, then top up with water to the maximum level. After refilling, always run a short empty cycle to flush out any salt spilled into the tub, as it is corrosive.

Can I add forgotten items mid-cycle?

Yes, provided the detergent dispenser has not opened yet. Press the Start/Pause button, wait 5 seconds, then carefully open the door, being cautious of hot steam. Add the forgotten items, close the door and press Start/Pause again. The cycle resumes from exactly the point where it was interrupted.

What do the error codes E1, E3, CA, E5, EC and Ed mean?

E1 means the water inlet is too slow: open the tap or check the water pressure. E3 indicates a faulty heating element, contact the service centre. CA signals an overflow, immediately shut off the water supply. E5 and EC indicate a distribution valve fault and main control board failure respectively. Ed signals a communication failure between the two control boards. For E5, EC and Ed, contact FNAC DARTY after-sales service.

BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR DISHWASHER

Before connecting your dishwasher to the power supply, check that the voltage stated on the rating label of your appliance corresponds to the voltage in your home. The appliance must be grounded. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages that may occur as a result of usage without grounding.

WARNING: Disconnect electrical power before installing your dishwasher.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Positioning The Appliance

Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned either to the right or the left sides to facilitate proper installation.

Cold Water Connection

The installation of the hose should be done by professionals.

Connect the supplied water supply hose to a threaded 3/4'' 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 of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear. This precaution is needed to avoid the risk of the water inlet to be blocked and damage the appliance.

Connection of the Drain Hose

Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm , or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The height of drain pipe must be less than 1000mm . The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of it.

Please securely fix the drain hose in either position A or position B.

The installation of the hose should be done by professionals.

If leaks are detected, immediately shut the water supply and check the hose connections fully. Re-tighten the connections if necessary.

If for any reason you are unable to stop the leak yourself, please seek advice from a qualified plumber.

Electrical Connection

The installation of electrical equipment should be done by professionals.

• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the earthing connection from the power cord.

Ensure the voltage and frequency of the dishwasher correspond to those indicated on the rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly. If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the socket, rather than using a adaptors or the like as they could cause overheating and burns.

Ensure that proper earthing exists before use.

Levelling

Place the dishwasher on an even, stable surface.

It is very important that the dishwasher is perfectly levelled in order to avoid the dishwasher to malfunction. You can level the dishwasher by adjusting the base feet.

BEFORE LOADING THE BASKETS

• Remove coarse food remains, e.g. bones, which may clog the filter or damage the wash pump.
• Soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom then load them into the basket.

WARNING:

• Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of

the spray arms during the washing cycle.

• Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
• Do not stack dishes.
• Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break.

USING THE WATER SOFTENER

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will be formed on the utensils. This appliance is equipped with a water softener which uses a salt specifically designed to eliminate the minerals from the water.

CAUTION:

• Only use salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers.
• Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which may damage the water softening system.
• Fill the salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.

Adjusting the salt consumption

1. Close the dishwasher door. Within 60 seconds after powering on the dishwasher, enter the status of

adjusting the salt consumption by holding down 5 seconds until the display shows H3.

1. Repeatedly press to adjust the setting to suit the water hardness.

2. Press

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.
- Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they may scratch the finish.

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of clean water and detergent (under pressure) against the soiled surface of dishes. The water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter removing food and soiled particles and pumped back through the spray arm.

Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle (the number of times depends on the cycle being used).

NOTE:

Hard water conditions will adversely affect washability performance of your dishwasher.

Hard water conditions will also contribute to "Lime" (white film substance) deposits and/or "Scaling" on the stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element located in the sump underneath the removable filter screen.

To minimise these conditions, it is recommended to periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar (at least once a week).

Cleaning the door and the door seal

Clean the door seals regularly with a soft damp cloth to remove food deposits.

When the dishwasher is being loaded, food and drink residues may drip onto the sides of the dishwasher door. These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms.

Any deposits should be wiped off before the door is closed.

Cleaning the control panel

If cleaning is required, the control panel should be wiped with a soft damp cloth only.

Cleaning the filtering system

The filtering system in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse debris from the washing cycle. The collected coarse debris may cause the filters to clog. Check the condition of the filters regularly and clean them if necessary under running water.

Follow the steps below to clean the filters in the wash cabinet.

Hold the coarse filter and rotate it anticlockwise to unlock the filter. Lift the filter upwards and out of the dishwasher.

Pull the fine filter off the filter assembly. Detach the coarse filter from the main filter by gently squeezing the tabs at the top and pulling it away.

3 Rinse the filters under running water. For a more thorough clean, use a soft cleaning brush.

4 Reassemble the filters, replace the filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.

WARNING!

• Do not over tighten the filters. Put the filters back in sequence securely, otherwise coarse debris could get into the system and cause a blockage.
• Never use the dishwasher without filters in place. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Cleaning the spray arms

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly, otherwise hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings.

To clean the spray arms, follow the instructions below:

1

To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut in the centre still and rotate the spray arm anticlockwise to remove it.

2

To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward.

Wash the arms in warm soapy Water using a soft brush. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

Frost precaution

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 at the supply source.
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.

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.

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

When not in use for a long time

It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the mains 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 odors 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.

Cleaning the 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.
