Water softener

  • The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.
  • The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

Water hardness table

Adjust the salt consumption according to the table below:

Water hardnessSetting in displayRegeneration occurs every X program sequence*Salt consumption (grams/cycle)
°Clarke °dH mmol/l
0 - 6 0 -5 0 - 0.94H1 No regeneration 0

43 - 69 35- 55 61 - 9.8 H61 60

The factory setting: H3

  • Every cycle with a regeneration operation consumes additional 2.0 litres of water, the energy consumption increases by 0.02kWh and the program extents by 4 minutes.

Adjusting salt consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption. Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.

  1. Switch on the appliance;
  2. Press the Program button for more than 5 seconds to open the water softener settings mode within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on;
  3. Press the Program button to select the correct setting according to your local environment. The settings will change in the following sequence: H1->H2->H3->H4->H5->H6;
  4. Press the On/Off button to confirm the setting and to end the setting mode.

Adding salt

ETNA VWV242CWIT - Adding salt - 1

  1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew the reservoir cap.
  2. Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the container
  3. Fill the salt container to its maximum limit with dishwasher salt (about 1.5kg ). It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
  4. After filling the container, put back the cap (tighten firmly).
  5. The salt warning light will go off after the salt container has been filled with salt.
  6. Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing program should be started (we suggest to use a short program). Otherwise the filter system, pump or other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. This is out of warranty.

ETNA VWV242CWIT - Adding salt - 2

Note! The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the salt container is filled. If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.

Preparing and loading dishes

  • Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
  • For particular items, select a program with the lowest possible temperature.
  • To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.

For washing the following cutlery/dishes are not suitable:

Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-pearl handles
Plastic items that are not heat resistant

Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant

Bonded cutlery items or dishes
Pewter or cooper items
Crystal glass
Steel items subject to rusting
Wooden platters
Items made from synthetic fibres

For washing the following cutlery/dishes are of limited suitability:

Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes
Silver and aluminum parts have a tendency to discolour during washing

Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently

Recommendations for loading the dishwasher

Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary, depending on your model.

  • Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:

Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.

All utensils are stacked securely and cannot tip over.

All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.

To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.

The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!

Long and / or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption of energy.

ETNA VWV242CWIT - Recommendations for loading the dishwasher - 1

Note: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.

Loading the upper basket

The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.

ETNA VWV242CWIT - Loading the upper basket - 1

Loading the lower basket

We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult to clean items into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm. The maximum diameter advised for plates in front of the detergent dispenser is of 19 cm, this not to hamper the opening of it.

ETNA VWV242CWIT - Loading the lower basket - 1

Loading the cutlery basket/cutlery rack

Cutlery should be placed separately from each other in the appropriate positions, and do make sure the utensils do not nest together, this may cause bad performance.

ETNA VWV242CWIT - Loading the cutlery basket/cutlery rack - 1

Warning! Do not let any item extend through the bottom.

Removing the dishes

To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.

ETNA VWV242CWIT - Removing the dishes - 1

Warning! Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the program has ended.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket type 1 (depending on the model)

Function of the rinse aid and dishwasher detergent

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.

ETNA VWV242CWIT - Function of the rinse aid and dishwasher detergent - 1

Warning! 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

The regularity of the dispenser needing to be refilled depends on how often dishes are washed and the rinse aid setting used.

  • The Low Rinse Aid indicator ( ) will be lit when more rinse aid is needed.
  • Do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser.

Function of the dishwasher detergent

The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and dispense all dirt out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

ETNA VWV242CWIT - Function of the dishwasher detergent - 1

Warning! Proper use of the dishwasher detergent

  • Use only detergent specifically made for dishwashers use.
  • Keep your dishwasher detergent fresh and dry.
  • Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.
  • Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Caring for the dishwasher

Frost precaution

Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Every time after a washing cycle, please operate as follows:

  • Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source.
  • Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
  • Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve (use a pan to gather the water).
  • Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
  • Remove the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher 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 odours 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 an a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

When not in use for a longtime

  • 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 last 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.

Cleaning the door

  • Clean the edge of the door, including the sealing rubber, with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Take care to ensure that water does not enter the door locking mechanism or electrical components.
  • Spray-type cleaning products should not be used, nor aggressive cleaning products such as scourers. These cleaning products can damage the finish.
