Frequently Asked Questions - MDB8959SFZ JENN-AIR
How to install the dishwasher correctly?
Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician. Follow the steps: unpacking, connection of water supply (copper or braided hose), electrical connection (cord or direct), leveling, attachment to countertop or sides, and connection of drain hose. Consult the full installation manual for dimensions and tolerances.
What is the required electrical voltage?
The dishwasher requires a 120 V AC, 60 Hz supply, on a 15 or 20 A circuit protected by fuse or circuit breaker. It must be connected to a 3-prong grounded outlet. For direct connection, use shielded cable with ground conductor.
How to adjust the leveling feet?
Place a level on the front panel. To adjust, lift the front of the dishwasher and turn the front feet with a 3/16" (4.76 mm) wrench or nut driver. The rear feet adjust via the wheels. The dishwasher must be plumb front to back and side to side.
What to do if the dishwasher does not start?
First check: the circuit breaker is not tripped (or blown fuse), the door is fully closed and latched, the cycle is selected correctly, and the water supply is on. If the Start/Resume indicator is flashing, close the door within 3 seconds after pressing.
Should I use rinse aid?
Yes, the use of rinse aid is essential for satisfactory drying. It improves the 'sheeting action' and reduces hard water deposits. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door.
How to clean the dishwasher filter?
The filter is at the bottom of the tub. Remove it by turning counterclockwise, rinse under running water and replace. Clean it regularly to avoid blockages. Consult the user guide for detailed instructions.
The dishwasher is noisy, is this normal?
A slight operating noise is normal, especially during wash and drain cycles. If noise is excessive, check that the polystyrene shipping braces have been removed during installation, that the dishwasher is level, and that hoses do not touch the motor or chassis.
What is the duration of a wash cycle?
Cycles typically last 2 to 5 hours. This longer time allows energy savings (40% less than older models). Some models with optical sensor may have a longer first cycle for calibration.
Can I use regular detergent?
Yes, you can use powder, liquid, or tablet detergent. However, for optimal drying, it is strongly recommended to use rinse aid and regenerating salt if water is hard.
How to replace the water supply hose?
Turn off the water supply and unplug the appliance. If using a braided flexible hose, replace it every 5 years. To replace, unscrew the fitting at the faucet and dishwasher valve, then install the new hose hand-tight. Use a 90° elbow fitting with rubber gasket.
