Frequently Asked Questions - SJ12600EX SVAN

What should I do before first use?
Ensure electrical and water connections match specifications. Remove all packaging. Set the water softener level according to your water hardness (use test strip if available). Fill the rinse aid compartment. Run an empty cycle with detergent to clean the interior.
How do I adjust the water softener setting?
Turn the programme selection knob to 'Off'. Press and hold Start/Pause while turning the knob clockwise one step. Continue holding until LEDs flash. The last setting is displayed. Press Start/Pause repeatedly to select the desired level. Turn knob to 'Off' to save.
Why are there white spots on my dishes?
White spots are usually caused by hard water. Increase the water softener setting and refill salt. Also check that the rinse aid dosage is adequate. Use the test strip to measure water hardness.
How do I fill the salt compartment?
Open the salt compartment cap by turning counter-clockwise. At first use, fill with 1 kg of dishwasher salt and water until almost overflowing. Use the funnel if provided. Replace cap. After every 20-30 cycles, refill with salt. Only add water on first fill.
What does the 'Half Load' function do?
The Half Load function shortens the programme duration when you have a smaller load. Activate it by pressing and holding the Delay button for 3 seconds. The setting remains active for subsequent cycles until cancelled.
How do I clean the filters?
Turn the filter assembly counter-clockwise and lift out. Separate the coarse filter from the micro filter, then remove the metal filter. Rinse all parts under running water. Reassemble and fit back, turning clockwise. Clean filters weekly for optimal performance.
Why does the dishwasher stop mid-cycle?
Possible causes: power failure, water supply interruption, or clogged filters/hoses. Check the mains power and water tap. Clean the filters and inspect the drain hose for kinks. If error persists, note the fault code and contact service.
How do I cancel a running programme?
Press and hold the Start/Pause button for 3 seconds. The Dry light illuminates, and the machine drains water for 30 seconds. When the End light comes on, the programme is cancelled. Turn the knob to 'Off'.
What items should not be washed in the dishwasher?
Avoid items with wooden, bone, ivory, or pearl handles; glued items; temperature-sensitive plastics; copper, tin, aluminium, and silver objects; delicate glasses; absorbent items like sponges. Always check if items are marked dishwasher-safe.
How do I interpret the error codes?
The machine shows error codes via the Wash, End, and Start/Pause LEDs. For example, if only Wash is on, there is insufficient water. Check tap and inlet hose filter. If Wash and End are on, there is a drainage issue. Clean filters and drain hose. For other codes, consult the manual or contact service.

4 BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

4.1 Preparing Your Dishwasher For First Use

• Make sure the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated in the installation instructions for the machine.
- Remove all packaging material inside the machine.
- Set the water softener level.
- Fill the rinse aid compartment..

4.2 Salt Usage (IF AVAILABLE)

For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, White lime residues will remain on the dishes and the interior equipment. This will negatively affect your machine's washing, drying and shining performance. When water flows through the softener system, the ions forming the hardness are removed from the water and the water reaches the softness required to obtain the best washing result. Depending on the level of hardness of the inflowing water, these ions that harden the water accumulate rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore, the softener system has to be refreshed so that it operates with the same performance also during the next wash. For this purpose, dishwasher salt is used.

Machine can only be used by special dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do not use any small grained or powdered type of salts which can easily soluble. Using any other type of salt can damage your machine.

4.3 Fill The Salt (IF AVAILABLE)

To add softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter clockwise. (1) (2) At first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt and water (3) until it is almost overflowing. If available, using a funnel (4) will make filling easier. Replace the cap and close it. After every 20-30 Cycles add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).

SALT

Only add water to the salt compartment on first use.

Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers.

When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment is filled with water, therefore put the softener salt in prior to starting your machine.

If the softener salt has overflowed and you do not start the machine immediately, run a short washing program to protect your machine against corrosion.

4.4 Test Strip

8 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning your dishwasher is important to maintain the machine's service life Make sure that the water softening setting (If available) is done correctly and correct amount of detergent is used to prevent limescale accumulation. Refill the salt compartment when the salt sensor light comes on. Oil and limescale may build up in your Dishwasher over time. If this occurs:

- Fill the detergent compartment but do not load any dishes. Select a programme which runs at high temperature and run the Dishwasher empty. If this does not clean your Dishwasher sufficiently, use a cleaning agent designed for use with dishwashers.

• To extend the life of your dishwasher, clean the appliance regularly on each month

- Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated residue or foreign objects.

8.1 Filters

Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a week. If any food waste remains or foreign objects on the coarse and fine filters, remove them and clean them thoroughly with water.

To remove and clean the filter combination, turn it counter clockwise and remove it by lifting it upwards (1). Pull the coarse filter out of the micro filter (2). Then pull and remove the metal filter (3). Rinse the filter with lots of water until it is free of residue. Reassemble the filters. Replace the filter insert, and rotate it clockwise (4).

  • Never use your dishwasher without a filter.
  • Incorrect fitting of the filter will reduce the washing effectiveness.
  • Clean filters are necessary for proper running of the machine.

8.2 Spray Arms

Make sure that the spray holes are not clogged and that no food waste or foreign object is stuck to the spray arms. If there is any clogging, remove the spray arms and clean them under water. To remove the upper spray arm undo the nut holding it in position by turning it clockwise and pulling it downwards. Make sure that the nut is properly tightened when refitting the upper spray arm.

8.3 Drain Pump

Large food residues or foreign objects which were not captured by the filters may block the waste water pump. The rinsing water will then be above the filter.

Warning Risk of cuts!

When cleaning the waste water pump, ensure that you do not injure yourself on pieces of broken glass or pointed implements.

In this case:

  1. First always disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
  2. Take out baskets.
  3. Remove the filters.
  4. Scoop out water, use a sponge if required.
  5. Check the area and remove any foreign objects.
