Frequently Asked Questions - VFE25S FAGOR

How to adjust the salt level in the Fagor VFE25S dishwasher?

The salt regulator is located on the right inner side. Use a coin to turn it to the position corresponding to your water hardness (see table in the manual). Positions 1 to 4 are available, and if hardness is very low (0-7 °dH), salt is not necessary.

Where do I put the salt in the dishwasher?

Remove the lower basket to access the salt reservoir (reference 13). Unscrew the cap, use the supplied funnel to fill with dishwasher salt (approx. 1.5 kg) then top up with water. Replace the cap and wipe away any residue. This operation is necessary before the first wash, then only to refill.

How to use detergent in the Fagor VFE25S?

Detergent is placed in the dispenser on the inner door (reference 14). For a normal wash, use 25 g in the dispenser (or a tablet) and an additional 5 to 15 g on the inner door. For delicate or economic programs, a single dose of 25 g is sufficient. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for concentrated products.

How to adjust the rinse aid?

The rinse aid compartment is next to the detergent dispenser (reference 15). Open the cap, fill to the Max mark. The dosage regulator (default position 2) allows you to increase or decrease the quantity. If water spots appear, increase the dosage; if sticky white marks appear, decrease it.

My Fagor VFE25S dishwasher does not start, what should I do?

First check the power supply (outlet, circuit breaker). Make sure the door is properly closed and that you have pressed the On/Off button. If water does not enter, check the water supply tap and the solenoid valve filter.

How to clean the filter of the Fagor VFE25S?

Turn the handle of the wash filter (reference 12) to remove it. Wash it under clean water with a brush, then put it back correctly. A badly positioned filter can block the internal pipes.

Can I wash aluminum pots in this dishwasher?

Yes, but avoid placing them under the detergent dispenser to prevent stubborn stains. Silver cutlery should be separated from other metals to prevent brown marks.

How to adjust the height of the upper basket?

For a standard basket, remove the lateral stops, take out the basket and reassemble it at the desired height. For a high-end basket, simply pull up or push down from the center of the basket, even with dishes in place.

What programs are available on the Fagor VFE25S?

The programs include: Cold prewash, Intensive (65°C), Normal (65°C or 55°C), Economic (55°C), Delicate (45°C), and Quick (55°C). The exact number depends on the model (1 to 5 additional buttons). Normal program (n°3) is the standard program according to EN-50242.

How to install the dishwasher in built-in version?

Remove the top plate and counterweight by loosening the screws (Fig. 4). Adjust the feet height to level the appliance (max tilt 2%). For the door panel, disassemble the frame, cut a decorative panel to the indicated dimensions (Fig. 3), then reassemble the frame. Follow the diagrams in the manual for electrical and water connections.

ATTENTION AU CALCAIRE!

Here I am, to save you from the washing-up.

"Hello! I am your dishwasher. But before I start some friendly advice."

CAUTION IN HARD WATER AREAS!

The water from your tap at home is in perfect condition but be careful, it contains lime, and if we don't keep it under control it could have some harmful effects.

Before beginning, it is essential to find out about the water hardness of your area, that is, the amount of lime in the water. The Water Company in your area or your Town Council will give you this information.

But don't worry, in order to prevent any harmful effects from Lime, my water softening device will always ensure perfect functioning..

ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT OF SALT

This 4-position regulator can be found on the right hand side of the dishwasher. Use a coin to select the right position.

You can then select the right position on the salt regulator. The following table shows you the correct positions.

	O-13 HF (0-7 DH) 14-88 HF (8-21 DH) 39-50 HF	(22-28 DH) 51-63 HF (29-35 DH) MORE 63 HF (36 DH)LIME LEVEL
RESULT OF THE TEST	NO SALT REQUIRED	Posiún 1	Posiún 2	Posiún 3
				Posiún 4

HF Water hardness given in French degrees.
DH Water hardness given in German degrees.

These simple adjustments will ensure correct dishwasher function and are important.

DISHWASHINGPRODUCTS

To ensure I am always in peak working condition I too need my own specific washing products. They are:

1. SALT
2. DETERGENT
3. RINSE AID

1. SALT. So that lime does not cause any harmful effects.

I was fitted with a Water Softener, which takes the lime out of your water and leaves it clean for dishwashing; for my Water Softener to work you have to put salt in the salt container. But remember, only if the water hardness requires it.

Remember! Make sure not to use cooking salt, use only special salt for dishwashers available in all supermarkets.

- Where and how is the salt added first time use?

First you must take out my lower rack. Unscrew the dispenser cap 13 and take it off.

• Use the funnel provided with the dishwasher to fill the dispenser full of salt (about 1,5 Kg) and then fill with water.
• Always use a spoon to mix it properly.

Important: This operation must be carried out only before the first wash. Later you only need to top up the salt level.

• Once you have finished filling up with salt and water, make sure you screw the cap back on securely and that no traces of salt are left on the bottom of the dishwasher which could leave salt deposits.

• When do I need more salt?

Don't worry about it. The indicator on your dishwasher will tell you.

• Models with Optical Indicator: This is located in the cap of my salt dispenser.

The indicator is a green float which in its highest position indicates that I do not need salt. Conversely, if the float has fallen and, therefore the green colour is not visible, this means that you must add more salt.

• Models with Luminous Indicator: 5 in the control panel. When the light comes on, fill the dispenser with salt.

As we have seen in the sections above, it is possible that the water hardness in your area does not require you to add salt; in that case do not worry if you see the luminous indicator lit.

It is important to remember that you should always fill the salt dispenser before using the dishwasher, never afterwards.

2.DETERGENT. The type of program will give you the quantity required.

But lets get to work. First, fill me up with detergent. Do you see the detergent compartment which is built into the inner door 14. That is where you put the detergent.

How much detergent do I need?

For a non-concentrated detergent in powder or tablet form;

• For a pre-washed - none.
• For a delicate, economic or rapid wash; 1 measure of 25 gr. (one and a half level soup spoonfuls or one tablet)
• For a normal or intensive wash, 2 measures, 1 of 25 gr. in the dispenser (or one tablet) and another of 5 gr or 15 gr. (a level soup spoonful or half a tablet) in the inner door.

For concentrated and liquid detergent follow the detergent manufacturers recommendations.

3. RINSE AID. Cleans and adds brilliance.

The principal function of this product is to facilitate drying and prevent water drops being left on the dishes after the wash, while at the same time giving all surfaces a brilliant shine.

• Where and how is rinse aid added?

I have a compartment in the upper part of the inner door 15, just to the right of the detergent compartment.

Turn and take off the cap of this compartment, and add rinse aid up to the indicated maximum. Be careful that it does not over flow; if this occurs dry the spilt drops with a cloth so that the wash quality will be correct otherwise over foaming may occur.

- How is the rinse aid intake regulated?

Once you have filled the compartment, you can adjust the level of rinse aid released by moving the selector in the dispenser between numbers 1 to 6 (it leaves the factory in position no. 2).

Before adjustment, I recommend that you judge for yourself by observing the final result of each wash. If there are water drops or lime stains on the dishes, adjust the selector to a higher number, conversely adjust to a lower number to reduce the quantity released if the dishes show white, sticky streaks.

- When do you have to add rinse aid?

Only when it is indicated on your particular dishwasher model.

• Models with Transparent-Window Indicator: This is beside the rinse aid compartment. If it is clear it needs rinse aid; fill it taking care that it does not overflow. If it is dark it has sufficient.

• Models with Luminous Indicator: 12 When the liquid runs out, this light on the control panel comes on. This is a clear warning to refill with rinse aid.

CORRECT LOADING OF THE DISHES

Because you should never play with your food.

To ensure good results, it is very important to load the dishes properly in my racks. Each dish should be individually located in either basket with sufficient clearance between each item for water to pass, this will guarantee a perfect wash and save you time and money.

• Regulating the height of the basket.

Depending upon your dishwasher model, you will be able to adjust the height of the upper basket so as to enable you to wash bigger plates. But how? It's easy!

1.Standard basket.

1Turn the wheel stop. (A)
2Pull the basket towards you and it will come out.
3 Put the basket back at the height you have chosen.
4Turn the wheel-stop back to its original position. (B)

2. Top range basket.

Without having to take the top basket out of its rails, you can adjust the height of the basket with a simple hand movement, even when there is crockery in the basket.

oth to raise and lower the position, pull upwards from the centre of the basket.

Regulating the upper basket means you can get the height you want.

With the basket at its highest level you will be able to put plates with a diameter of up to 19cm in the upper basket and up to 31 cm. in the lower basket.

With the basket at its lowest level you will be able to put plates with a diameter of up to 24cm in the upper basket and up to 26cm in the lower basket.

- Loading the dishes in the racks.

• In the lower rack. The dirtiest and most resistant dishes, casseroles, oven dishes and plates (load the deep ones on the right and the shallow ones on the left). The dishes should always tilted towards you and make sure that there is sufficient clearance between them so that the water spray can reach and clean them. Saucepans always upside-down. If your dishwasher has folding supports, you can use them in the vertical position for plates and in the horizontal position for large items of crockery.

• Cutlery basket. This is where the cutlery goes; it is located in the lower basket. The separate compartments allow you to segregate the different items always with the handle down.

• In the upper rack. The more delicate dishes. Cups, glasses and porcelain. Take care that their rims face down (upside-down). Lead crystal should not be washed in the dishwasher, continued washing will make it go cloudy and it will lose its shine. When the half-load function is activated, in those dishwashers which have it, all the items must be put in this basket, even cutlery (which will be put in one of the parts of the double cutlery basket which is normally at the bottom).

Once you have loaded the dishes and cutlery, make sure that the spray arms revolve without hitting any plate, piece of cutlery, handle, etc.

Do not hang objects from the baskets as it will impede the spray arm rotation.

IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS

Reading an instruction manual and following its advice takes very little time but is very important for your satisfaction.

1. Recommendations for cleaning.

• Clean the wash filter when you see debris accumulating.

To take it out turn the handle. Clean it with running water and a brush. Refit the filter securely. This is very important. If it is not properly secured, it can cause problems such as blocked pipes and spray arms.

- Also clean your dishwasher periodically both inside and outside.

Inside, every six months, fill the Detergent Dispenser with a special Dishwasher-cleaning product, select the Economic Program and run the complete wash cycle.

Outside, you should use a damp cloth soaked in soapy water. Afterwards, dry me with a dry cloth. As a safety precaution, switch off all electrical connections to me (remove the plug from the socket).

2. Recommendations for dishes.

-Stainless cutlery: I can clean it without any problem.

-Silver cutlery: make sure that it is not in contact with other cutlery, for if it is, it can cause brownish stains. Keep in separate compartment.

-Aluminium: it is recommended that this should not be washed in the dishwasher, as it will cause more pronounced stains and darkening of the aluminium.

-Decorated porcelain: just as in hand washing, if the decoration is not top quality it will gradually wear away-it is not advisable to wash in dishwashers.

-Glass: only load glass suitable for dishwashers. It is recommended to use a low temperature program for glass: economic or delicate. Do not wash Lead Crystal.

• Plastic: heat-resistant plastic is suitable for dishwashers. But when in doubt, ask at the point of sale. Do not wash medication spoons or small light objects.

-Wood and earthenware: Do not place in dishwasher, these are not appropriate for dishwashers.

Integrated dishwashers

INFORMATION NOTE: The maximum and minimum weights recommended for the door covering to be fitted to the dish washers are:

-Maximum: 6,5 Kg
-Minimum: 4,5 kg

Introduction

Our INTEGRATED DISHWASHERS are designed so that the door covering and the control panel match the shape and size of 60 cm wide kitchen modules with a door and a drawer at the top.

To do this, proceed as follows:

Dimensions

Figure 5 gives the measurements of your dishwasher and the minimum requirements for the kitchen units. These will help you in the installation process

And remember if your dishwasher is an integrated model, remove the brackets located at the bottom of the dishwasher. (Fig. 2).

Levelling and positioning

Refer to the section on levelling and positioning for free-standing and panellable dishwashers.

Integrating your dishwasher

Adjusting the height of the dishwasher

Turn the dishwasher feet B anticlockwise, until the tip of the appliance comes into contact with the bottom of the kitchen work surface (Figure 7).

This enables the DISHWASHER height to be adjusted up to 870~mm .

Aligning the control panel (Figure 8)

This operation consists of aligning the control panel of the dishwasher until it is at the same height as the drawer panels of your kitchen units.

Use the spacing pieces and screws provided inside the appliance to carry out this operation.

If the height of the drawer panel is 110mm it is not necessary to make any adjustments. If it is higher, add as many spacing pieces as necessary (spacer A = 5 mm, spacer B = 10 mm), forming 5 mm modules, to adjust the height of the control panel to that of the drawer panels of adjacent units (Figure 8).

Once you have done this, bear in mind that when you fit the door panel, the bottom of it must be in line with the kickplate of your kitchen units.

Integrating your dishwasher

Once you have carried out the previous operations, proceed with the integration of your dishwasher, as follows:

1.-Fit the protective plastic cover supplied with the appliance to the underside of your kitchen work surface (Figure 9). This cover will prevent the condensation generated during the operation of your dishwasher from damaging the underside of your work surface.
2.-Using the template supplied with your appliance, mark the points where the brackets for fixing to the dishwasher are to go on the back of the door panel (Figure 10).

Note

When preparing the front panel you must take into account whetehr or not you have increased the height of the control panel with spacing pieces.

A) If you have not, align reference point 0, located on the top edge of the template, with the top edge of the door panel.

B) If, however, you have increased the height of the control panel, match the reference points marked on the template every 5 mm with the number of spacing pieces fitted to the top edge of the door panel.
3.-Fit the template, secure it and mark the the position of the holes. The drill them with a 2.5mm drill bit and screw the brackets to the panel, ensuring that the curved part of the bracket faces upwards (edge Y, Figure 11):

Take care not to drill too deeply.

4.- Take the door panel, with the edge (Y) facing upwards and fit the brackets in the slots in the door. Then pull the panel up until it touches the control panel, ensuring that all the brackets are properly secured in the slots in the door (Figure 12).
5.- Slowly open the dishwasher door, holding the panel at the same time. Then screw it tight using the screws supplied, ensuring that it is properly aligned with the door (Figure 13).

Note

To fit your integrated dishwasher into a row of kitchen units with a continuous kickstrip, proceed as follows:

6.- Fit the kickstrip, sawing it to the right size (Figure 4)
7.- Secure the dishwasher to the work surface (Figure 14)
8.- Check that the door opens and closes properly (Figure 15).

When these parts have been fitted, the dishwasher is ready for integration.

Once these operations have been carried out, proceed to connect the electricity and water supplies according to the instructions.

These figures can also be consulted on the template supplied with the appliance.

Water supply connection

To connect the DISHWASHER to the mains water supply, use the PRESSURE HOSE supplied with the machine. Join it to a water tap with a R 3/4" threaded mouth (Fig. 16).

The operating pressure should be between 4.9 - 98N / cm^2 . If it is higher, connect a pressure reducer valve, which you can buy in a shop selling plumbing supplies.

Very important

The water inlet hose should not have any kinks in it which might prevent the free entry of water into the DISHWASHER.

Hot water inlet

Although it is best to connect the machine to the cold water supply, some models can be connected to either the cold or hot water supply (max. 60^ ). Enquire at your local dealer.

Drainage connection

The DRAINAGE CONNECTION is made with a kneed hose that meets the following requirements:

1.- Less than 3 metres long.
2.- The end of the drainage pipe should be at a height of between 0.5m and 1m from the floor (Figure 17).
3.- A sump needs to be fitted for odour-free drainage.
4.- Avoid kinks which prevent the water from flowing out freely.

Very important

When you have completed the connection, ensure that the pipe elbow is well anchored to the outlet. This will avoid water leaks and the risk of floods.

Electrical connection

Our DISHWASHERS can withstand a maximum intensity of 16A. THE APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The POWER CABLE supplied with teh machine has an earth terminal, which must be connected to a proper socket to guarantee the earth connection.

Before plugging the appliance in, check that your electricity supply voltage coincides with the operating voltage of your DISWASHER.
