4. OPERATION

Before starting the dishwasher (Fig. 13):

1. Set the salt tank.
2. Add salt into the salt tank.
3. Load the baskets.
4. Fill the detergent dispenser.

Filling up the salt tank

Note

• If your model does not have a salt tank, you can skip this section.
• Always use special salt for dishwashers.
• The salt tank is located under the bottom basket.

Warning

• Only use salt special for dishwashers.
• Any other type of salt that does not meet these conditions, especially table salt, will damage the salt tank. In case of damage caused by the use of unsuitable salt, Cecotec does not give any guarantee and is not liable for any damage caused.
• Add salt into the tank just before starting a full programme.
• This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been split, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

To add salt to the salt tank, follow the steps below as shown in figure 14:

1. Remove the bottom basket and loosen the tank cap.
2. Place the end of a funnel into the tank hole and pour in about 1.5 kg of dishwasher salt.
3. Fill the salt tank to the maximum limit with water. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt tank.
4. Then, screw the cap back on.
5. The low salt warning indicator light will switch off once the salt tank is full.
6. As soon as you have added the salt in the tank, start a washing programme (short programme is recommended). Otherwise, salt water may damage the filter system, the pump or other important components of the appliance. In such a case, the warranty will not cover the damage.

Warning

The salt tank must be refilled when the low salt warning indicator light ( ) on the control panel lights up. Depending on how well the salt is dissolved, the indicator light may still be lit even if the salt tank is full. If the low salt warning indicator light on the control panel (in some models) does not light up, you can estimate when to fill the salt tank by the cycles the dishwasher has run.

If you spill salt, run a quick programme to dissolve it.

Note

If your model does not have a salt tank, you can skip this section.

• Water hardness varies from one place to another. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, timescale deposits will form on the dishes and cutlery.
• The appliance is equipped with a special water softener that uses a salt tank specifically designed to remove timescale and minerals from the water.

Rinse aid and detergent

Rinse aid is released during the last rinse to prevent water droplets from forming on the dishes, which can leave stains and marks. It also improves drying as it allows water to slide through the tableware. The dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.

Warning

Only use rinse aids for dishwashers. Never refill the rinse aid dispenser with other substances (e.g., dishwasher detergent or liquid detergent). This could damage the appliance.

When to refill the rinse aid dispenser

The frequency with which you need to refill the dispenser depends on the frequency with which you wash your tableware and the rinse aid settings used.

• The low rinse aid indicator light () will light up when the dispenser needs to be refilled.
• Do not overfill the dispenser.

Detergent function

The chemical ingredients that make up the detergent are necessary to remove, break down and remove all the dirt from the dishwasher. Most detergents in the market are suitable for this purpose.

Warning

Proper use of the detergent

• Only use specific detergents for dishwashers. Store the detergent in a dry and cool place.
• Do not fill the dispenser with powder detergent until it is ready to wash the dishes.
• Dishwasher detergent is corrosive. Keep out of the reach of children.

• Some types of glass can lose their lustre after many washes.
• Silver and aluminium pieces tend to discolour during dishwasher washing
• Enamelled pieces may fade if they are washed frequently in the dishwasher.

Recommendations for loading the dishwasher

• Remove larger food debris and scrape off any encrusted debris.
• Remove burnt food residues from frying pans and pots. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
• For best dishwasher performance, follow these loading guidelines.
• (The characteristics and appearance of the baskets and cutlery baskets may vary depending on the model).

Place the items in the dishwasher as follows:

• Items like mugs, cups, pans/pots, etc. must face downwards.
• Curved items or with holes should be loaded at an incline to allow water to drain out.
• All utensils must be stacked securely so that they do not tip over.
• All items must be positioned so that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
• Arrange hollow objects, such as cups, glasses, pans, etc., with the opening facing downwards so that water cannot accumulate in the container or in a deep base.
• Dishes and cutlery should not be placed inside each other or cover each other.
• To avoid damage, cups should not be touching each other.
• The upper basket is designed to place the most delicate and light tableware, like cups, coffee, and teacups.
• Long bladed knives facing upwards are a potential hazard.
• Long and/or sharp cutlery, such as carving knives, must be placed in a horizontal position in the upper basket.
• Do not overload the dishwasher. This is important to get better results and a reasonable energy consumption.

Note

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

ENGLISHENGLISH

Removing the tableware

To prevent water from dripping from the upper basket to the bottom basket, it is recommended to unload the bottom basket first and then the upper basket.

Warning

Items will be very hot. To avoid damage, do not remove glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher until 15 minutes after the end of the washing cycle.

Loading the upper basket

The upper basket is designed to place the most delicate and light tableware, like glasses, mugs, and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls, and shallow pans (as long as they are not too soiled).

Place dishes and cooking utensils so that they do not move when water is sprayed on them.

Loading the bottom basket

It is recommended to place the larger and more difficult to clean items in the bottom basket, such as pots, frying pans, lids, dishes, and bowls. It is preferable to place the dishes and lids on the sides of the baskets to avoid blocking the rotation of the upper spray arm.

The maximum recommended diameter for dishes in front of the dishwasher dispenser is 19 cm, so as not to obstruct the dishwasher opening.

Loading the cutlery tray

The cutlery must be placed in the cutlery tray, separating the items from each other in the correct position, and ensuring the items are not stacked, as it could cause bad washing effects.

Warning

Do not allow any utensils to protrude from the bottom of the tray. Always load sharp objects with the point upside down.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

External care

Door and door gaskets

Regularly wipe the door gaskets with a soft, damp cloth to remove food residues.

- When dirty dishes are put in the dishwasher, food or drink residues may fall down the sides of the door. These surfaces are outside the internal structure of the dishwasher, so the water from the spray arms does not reach them. Deposits must be removed before closing the door.

Control panel

If it is necessary to clean the control panel, clean it with a soft damp cloth.

Warning

- To prevent water from entering the door gasket and electrical components, do not use any type of spray cleaner.

- Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on exterior surfaces as they may scratch the finish. Some kitchen papers may also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

Internal care

Filtering system

- The filtering system located in the inner base of the dishwasher retains larger food debris during the wash cycle, including external objects such as chopsticks. This dirt can cause the filter to become clogged.

- Regularly check the condition of the filters, carefully remove external objects and clean them with tap water if necessary. Follow these steps to clean the filters.

Note

The figures are shown for reference purposes only, as the filter system and spray arms may vary depending on the dishwasher model.

1. Hold the coarse filter and turn it counterclockwise to unlock it. Pull the filter upwards to remove it from the dishwasher.
2. The fine filter can be removed by pulling from the bottom of the filter assembly. The coarse filter can be detached from the main filter by gently squeezing the tabs at the top and pulling it out.

Figure 29

1. Coarse filter
2. Main filter

3. Fine filter

4. Larger food residues can be cleaned by rinsing the filter under running water. For more thorough cleaning, use a soft brush. Fig. 30

5. Reassemble the filters in reverse order and fit the assembly into the compartment at the base of the dishwasher. Next, turn it clockwise to fix it. Fig. 31

Warning

• Do not over-tighten the filters. If you remove the filters, be sure to put them back in place, otherwise larger debris may enter the system and clog it.
• Never use the dishwasher without the filters installed. Incorrect filter replacement may adversely affect the performance of the appliance and damage tableware and utensils.

ENGLISHENGLISH

Spray arms

- It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly, as the chemicals used to remove limescale from the water can clog the spray arm orifices and bearings.

To clean the spray arms, follow the instructions shown in figure 32:

1. To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut in the centre to prevent it from moving, and turn the arm counterclockwise to remove it.
2. To remove the bottom spray arm, pull the spray arm upwards.
3. Wash the arms with soap and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the holes.

Care of the dishwasher

Frost protection

Take measures to prevent the dishwasher from freezing during the winter.

After each washing cycle, do the following:

1. Cut off the power supply to the dishwasher from the power supply.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the valve.
3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and the water valve. (Use a container to collect the water).
4. Reconnect the inlet pipe to the water valve.
5. Remove the filter from the inner base of the dishwasher and use a sponge to soak up the water in the base.

After each wash

After every wash, close the device water supply and leave the door slightly open for some minutes so moisture and odours are not trapped in the interior.

Disconnecting the plug

Always remove the mains plug from the socket before performing any cleaning or maintenance task.

Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners

• Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning agents to clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher. Only use a cloth with lukewarm water and soap.
• To remove stains from the interior surface, use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar, or a cleaning product specifically for dishwashers.

If it is not to be used for an extended period of time

We recommend running a washing cycle without any load and, next, disconnect the plug from the mains supply, close the water supply and leave the door slightly open. This will help preserve the door gaskets for more time and will prevent odours forming inside the device.

Moving the appliance

If you need to move the appliance, try to keep it in an upright position. If absolutely necessary, you can place it on its back.

Gaskets

One of the factors that encourage the formation of odours in the dishwasher is food residues that get trapped in the gaskets. Periodically wiping them with a damp sponge will prevent this from happening.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING

Before contacting the official Cecotec Technical Support Service, please read the following section carefully and see if you can solve the problem yourself.

Problem Possible causes	Solution
The dishwasher does not start	A fuse has blown, or the circuit breaker has tripped.	Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Switch off any other appliance that is using the same circuit breaker as the dishwasher.
	It is not connected or switched on.	Make sure the dishwasher is on and door is properly closed.Make sure that the power cord is plugged into the socket properly.
	Water pressure is too low. Check that	at the water supply is connected properly and that the tap is open.
	The dishwasher door is not properly closed.	Be sure to close the door properly until it clicks.

ENGLISHENGLISH

The dishwasher does not pump water	Drain hose is kinked or crushed. Check the drain hose.
	The filter is clogged. Check the filtering system.
	The kitchen sink is clogged. Check the kitchen sink to make sure it is draining correctly. If the problem is that the kitchen sink is not draining properly, you may need to call a plumber rather than the Cecotec Technical Support Service.
There is foam at the base of the dishwasher	Unsuitable detergent. Only use detergent special for dishwashers to prevent foam formation. If there is foam forming, open the dishwasher and let it evaporate. Pour 1 litre of cold water into the base of the dishwasher. Close the dishwasher door and select any cycle. At the start, the dishwasher will drain the water. When the draining process is finished, open the door of the dishwasher and check if the foam has disappeared. Repeat the process if necessary.
Problem Possible causes Solution
	Rinse aid has spilled. Always wipe off any spilt rinse aid immediately with a cloth.
There are stains at the base of the dishwasher	You may have used detergent with colouring.	Make sure that the detergent does not contain dyes.
There is a white film on the inner surface	Tap water has a lot of limescale.	To clean the inside of the appliance, use a soft, damp cloth with dishwashing detergent and wear rubber gloves. Never use any cleaner other than dishwasher detergent, as this may cause foaming.

There are rust stains on the cutlery	The affected utensils are not corrosion resistant.	Avoid washing non-corrosion resistant items in the dishwasher.
	A programme has not been run after adding salt to the tank.Salt residues have entered during the washing cycle.	Always run a dishwashing programme without dishes after adding salt.Do not select the Turbo function (if it is included in this model) after adding salt to the dishwasher.
	The water softener cover is loose.	Check the water softener cover is properly closed.
Knocking noise is heard in the dishwasher	One of the spray arms is bumping into an item in the basket.	Stop the programme and reposition the objects that are obstructing the arm.
A rattling noise is heard in the dishwasher	Some items of crockery are loose in the dishwasher.	Stop the programme and reposition the dishes.
A tapping noise is heard in the water pipes	This may be due to the installation or the cross-section of the pipes.	It does not affect the dishwasher operation. If in doubt, contact a qualified plumber.
Dishes do not come out clean	You have not loaded them correctly.	Please refer to the relevant section to find out how to load the dishes correctly.
	The programme is not powerful enough.	Select a more intensive programme.

ENGLISHENGLISH

Problem Possible causes Solution
Dishes do not come out clean	Not enough detergent has been used.	Add more detergent or change the detergent.
	There are items blocking the spray arms movement.	Reposition the objects so that the arm can rotate normally.
	The filter assembly is not clean or has not been placed correctly on the inner base of the dishwasher.This can cause the spray arm holes to become clogged.	Clean and/or place the filter correctly. Clean the spray arm holes.
Glass objects come out opaque or dull	Combination of soft water and too much detergent.	Use less detergent if the water in your area is soft and select a shorter cycle to wash glass or crystal objects and get them clean.
Dishes and glasses have whitish stains	In areas with hard water, it is normal for limescale deposits to form.	Check the water softener settings or the salt deposit filling.
Black or grey marks on tableware	Aluminium utensils have scratched the crockery.	Use a mild abrasive cleaner to remove these marks.
There is still detergent in the dispenser	The dishes block the detergent dispenser.	Reposition the plates correctly.
The dishes are not dry You have not loaded them correctly.		Wear gloves if you find detergent residues on the dishes to avoid skin irritation.
		Do not empty the dishwasher immediately after the wash. Open the door slightly to allow steam to escape. Remove the dishes when the internal temperature is safe to touch. Unload first the bottom basket to avoid water from dripping from the upper basket.

Problem Possible causes Solution
The dishes are not dry An unsuitable programme has been selected.		With a short programme, the washing temperature is lower, which decreases the cleaning performance. Choose a programme with a longer wash cycle time.
		Use of cutlery with a low-quality coating.
