Frequently Asked Questions - ZWE-12176 Mastercook

Why does my dishwasher not start?

Check that the appliance is plugged in, the tap is open, and the door is properly closed. If the program selector is between notches, reposition it. Cancel any existing program by holding down the Start/Pause button for 3 seconds and reprogram.

What do the indicator lights mean?

The Salt light indicates low salt level; Rinse aid light indicates low rinse aid; Praca light shows program running; Koniec light indicates program finished. Flashing lights may indicate errors (see fault table in manual).

How do I adjust the water softener?

Turn the selector to 'Opcje' position. Press the button repeatedly to cycle through settings. The setting is saved when you exit 'Opcje'. Refer to the hardness table in the manual to choose the correct level.

Why are there white marks on my dishes?

White marks can be caused by hard water. Check that the water softener is correctly set and that there is salt in the compartment. If using multi-function tablets, ensure you have selected the appropriate setting for your water hardness.

What should I do if the dishwasher leaks?

Check for leaks around the door or underneath. Ensure the appliance is level and door is centered. If leak continues, turn off water supply and contact a technician. The anti-leak safety system may also trigger an error (d07).

How do I clean the filters?

Remove the waste filter (turn quarter turn), main filter, and micro filter. Rinse under running water. Reinstall in reverse order ensuring the waste filter is locked. Clean filters regularly for optimal performance.

Can I use multi-function tablets?

Yes, but only if water hardness is below 25°F (2.5 mmol/l). Activate the '4/1' function by selecting the appropriate setting in 'Opcje'. Follow the tablet manufacturer's instructions.

Why does the cycle take too long?

Energy-saving programs (e.g., Eco) have longer durations due to lower temperatures and extended drying times. This is normal. Use these programs at night if timing is not critical.

How do I load the baskets for best results?

Place large items in the lower basket, glasses and cups in the upper basket, and cutlery in the cutlery basket with handles down. Ensure water can circulate freely. Do not nest items.

What items should not be washed in the dishwasher?

Do not wash wooden cutting boards, non-heat-resistant plastic, copper, pewter, antique porcelain, or items with wooden/horn handles. Always check if items are dishwasher-safe.

On : indicates the programme is running.

Koniec :

On : indicates the programme has finished.

Important :

For your dishwasher to provide excellent washing and drying results and leave no marks, you must correctly adjust it using the water softening system, which works with dishwasher salt.

- Scale, when rainwater filters into the soil, it takes in mineral salts, some of which are found in solid form and are commonly referred to as scale. Scale in the water reduces the detergent's washing efficiency, causes deposits to form on the dishwasher itself and leaves white marks on the dishes.

The more scale there is in the water, the "harder" the water is.

You should use products suited to the water hardness in your particular area.

- There are so many different types of product. How can I choose the best one?

For impeccably clean dishes, you should use a combination of classic products :

① Wash product for perfectly clean dishes (powder or liquid detergent or standard tablets).

② Dishwasher salt for correct functioning of your dishwasher's water softener.

③ Rinse aid to help the dishes dry and eliminate drop marks.

Important :

Never use normal washing-up liquid.

For ease of use and in certain water hardness conditions only (< 25°F), multi-purpose products can make the use of regenerating salt and rinsing liquid unnecessary.

• “Two-in-one” tablets contain detergents and rinsing liquid or an agent serving the function of the salt.
• “Three-in-one” tablets contain detergents and rinsing liquid as well as an agent serving the function of the salt.
• “Four-in-one” “Five-in-one” tablets... also contain additives to prevent “wear” to glasses (i.e. to stop them clouding), risk of corrosion and discolouring of stainless steel.

Important :

Follow the instructions in the user's manual and the recommendations on the multi-purpose detergent's pack.

NB :

If in any doubt, please contact the detergent's manufacturer if the items are very wet at the end of the programme or if chalky deposits appear.

• MEASURE THE WATER HARDNESS AND SELECT THE TYPE OF DETERGENT: TRADITIONAL OR MULTI-PURPOSE

In one simple action, you can test the your water's lime content using the testing strip supplied with your dishwasher. Alternatively, contact your local water utility to ascertain your water's hardness.

• Let the water run from the tap for a few moments.
• Fill a glass with water.
• Take the test strip from its holder and immerse it for 3 seconds.
• Wait 1 minute, shake it and look at the colours to ascertain your water's hardness.

Important :

Keep these products out of the reach of children and away from damp (the protective film on the tablets might be water-soluble).

Only use products specially designed for dishwashers.

- Loading the regenerating salt. (Fig. 06)

Important :

Use special salt for dishwashers. Never use table salt or cooking salt as this could damage the appliance.

A Unscrew and remove the compartment cap.
B Fill the compartment with special dishwasher salt. Use the funnel supplied with the dishwasher.

Firmly screw the cap back on.

C The first time you fill the compartment with salt, fill it up to the top with water.

- Determining the regenerating salt level:

This pilot light comes on when the salt needs refilling. After refilling the light may remain on until the salt has dissolved. This normally happens after a cycle has been run, or if the salt fill is not complete.

This can be deactivated as indicated in the page 10.

Important :

If the salt overflows from the dispenser, remove the excess salt crystals to prevent risk of the tank rusting and run a Soak programme or, failing this, a short programme (see page 18-19) with no load in the dishwasher.

Firmly screw the compartment cap back on.

- Loading the rinsing product (Fig. 07)

Important :

Use a special dishwasher rinse aid product to improve drying and prevent filming.

A Unscrew and remove the compartment cap.
B Before starting up the dishwasher, fill the compartment with rinse aid up to the adjustment lever.

Firmly screw the cap back on.

The default adjustment is 2.

If drying is inefficient or marks are left the glasses (after having run several cycles), you may increase the dosage by setting the adjustment to 3;

Tip :

Setting the adjustment to 1 reduces rinse aid consumption and may be sufficient for your needs.

- Determining the rinse aid product level:

This pilot light comes on when rinse aid needs to be added.

Important :

If the rinse aid overflows onto the door on refilling, sponge off the excess to prevent foam from forming.

Washing capacity : 12 standard place settings

Very important :

The door catches when closing	- Appliance not stable- Door not centred on the tub	- Adjust the feet.- Re-centre by adjusting the rear feet.
The upper basket does not stay in the high position	- Poor manipulation (the basket is being pulled upwards too quickly)	- Act more progressively (see instructions), one side and then the other.
Small leak around or under the appliance (move the appliance to locate the leak)	- Leak from the tap.- Leak from the appliance.(Cf. table fault d07).	- Check that a seal is fitted and retighten the nut.- Close the water tap and call a technician.
Small leak at the door	- Appliance not stable or not level- Door not centred on the tub.	- Adjust the feet.- Re-centre by adjusting the rear feet.

• THE INDICATOR LIGHTS

Problem Possible	causes What to do ?
The salt light does not go out - No salt or an insufficient quantity of salt in the tank to trigger the float.		- Refill the tank and wait for the cycle to end. If you have soft water that requires no salt, the light is constantly lit.
The lights all light up one after the other	- Wrong programme.	- Cancel the current programming by holding down the Start button for 3 seconds and then re-programme.
A light flashes and the programme does not start	- On some models,programme selector wrongly positioned (between two notches)	- Reposition the selector on a programme.

• RELATING TO PROGRAMMING, DISPLAY

Problem Possible causes What to do ?
The cycle lasts too long - IThe energy-saving programmes last longer because the agitation and drying times are longer to compensate for the lower washing and drying temperatures	- Use these programmes preferably at night when it is not so important how long the programme lasts or when it ends.
The appliance trips the circuit breaker	- Insufficient amperage to supply all the appliances being operated simultaneously.- Internal fault in the appliance.	- Check the socket's amperage (10A minimum) and the meter's capacity.- Call a technician.
The appliance does not start - No mains power to the socket.- Tap closed. (Cf. table fault d01).- Selection error or programme lock.- Start button pressed too long (>2").- Appliance in Safety mode (anti-leak).(Cf. table fault d07).	- Check the socket and the fuse- Check the tap is open.- Check the hose line is OK.- Cancel by holding down Start for 3" and re-programme.- Just press Start briefly to start the programme.- Call a technician.
Problem Possible	causes What	to do?
The appliance will not restart - Door opened during a washing cycle.		- Wait for the time delay to end (controlled internally by the appliance).
The appliance does not drain (Cf. table fault d02).	- The cover has not been removed from the sink's U-bend.- Drain hose kinked.- Filters totally blocked.- Pump blocked.	- Remove the cover.- Check the drain hose line behind the machine is OK.- Remove and clean the filters and the drain.- Initiate a Soaking programme If the fault persists, call a technician.
The appliance will no longer function (see table, fault 14).	- installation of non-compliant drainage system: drainage too low down or pipe pushed too far in.- siphoning: the appliance is emptying as the same time as it is filling up.- filter system clogged	- adhere to the drainage tube installation dimensions.- Cleaning the filters

• POOR WASHING RESULTS

Problem Possible	causes What to do ?
Food traces, deposits, “sand grains” in the glasses	- Items poorly arranged (masked by another larger item or situated underneath it, items nested or jammed together).- Upper rotor blocked by cutlery or a dish etc.- Filter poorly locked and lifting during washing.- Micro filter screen clogged.- One or more holes in the rotor blocked.	- Arrange the items properly. Use the most appropriate areas and accessories for each type of item (see instructions).- Check that the rotor rotates freely (gauge wire). Set the basket in the high position if necessary.- Check the filter’s facing and that the filter is locked in place (push it in fully, turning it to the right).- Remove all, the filters and clean them (in warm water), including the micro filter’s screen (once a month).- Remove the rotor by turning the lever a quarter of a turn and clean it under the tap (do not use any tool that could damage the holes). Re-install the rotor.
Traces of grease - Detergent dose	too low; ineffi-cient detergent ; stale product.- Inappropriate programme (temperature too low; duration too short).	- Increase the dose ; try another detergent.- Select a programme with a higher temperature.

• POOR WASHING RESULTS...

Problem Possible causes What to do?
White marks (identify what type)	- Chalky film (removable with vinegar).- Traces of salt (items have a salty taste).	- Check that there is salt in the tank (light unlit = OK).- Check the water hardness at the tap and that the water softener is set correctly. Adjust it to a higher level if necessary.- Water too hard for using a “4-in-1” detergent without the addition of salt.- Check that the stopper on the salt container is closed correctly.
White marks (identify what type)	- Glass cloudy because water too soft (cannot be removed).	- Check the water hardness at the tap and that the water softener is set correctly. Some detergents in pellet form are more aggressive to glasses and decorations (change the product and use a protective product if necessary).
Coloured marks (tea, wine, coffee)	- Items poorly arranged- Detergent dose too low; inefficient detergent- Programme temperature too low.- If you use a multifunction product.	- Turn the cavities in the items towards the jets.- Increase the dose; try another detergent.- Select a more suitable programme with a higher temperature.- Use the “4-in-1” option (depending on the model).
Streaks or dried droplets on glasses	- Lack or insufficient amount of rinsing product.- Rinsing product out-of-date or inefficient.- If you use a multifunction product.	- Check the indicator light and fill the tank completely. Adjust the dispensing unit to a higher position if necessary.- Use a recent product (a good product dilutes easily and foams in cold water).- Use the “4-in-1” option (depending on the model).
Dried-on marks on glasses, dullness.	- If you use a multifunction product.	- Use the “4-in-1” option (depending on the model).

• POOR OPERATION

Problem Possible	causes What to do ?
Constant fillingA lot of waste on the large filter at the end of the cycle.	- Drain wand fallen on the floor.- Drain hole situated too low for the appliance (Cf. table fault d12).- The filters and drain outlets are blocked with too much residue.	- Check the installation of drain- Remove and clean the filters and the bottom of the drain outlets. Remove large residue from the plates before putting them in the machine.
Traces of rust on stainless steel	- Quality of the stainless steel not dishwasher-safe (knives in particular)	- Use “special dishwasher-safe” cutlery.- Check that the stopper on the salt container is closed correctly.

• POOR DRYING RESULTS

Problem Possible	causes What	to do?
A lot of droplets on the glasses.	- Lack or insufficient amount of rinsing product.- The dose has not been distributed.- Positioning of the items.	- Check the indicator light and fill the tank completely.- If the tank is not empty after approximately 60 washings, call a technician.- To alleviate the phenomenon, arrange the items to restrict water retention as much as possible. Leave the door ajar for a few minutes, if possible
Droplets on plastic items, Tefal coatings, etc.	- These insulating items have a low calorific mass.	- Arrange them preferably in the upper basket.
Poorer drying on rapid programmes	- On rapid programmes, the drying temperature and drying period are reduced to cut down the duration of the cycle as much as possible.	- Select a rapid programme carefully or leave the door ajar for a few minutes.
Condensation on the wall of the inside door or the tub.	- Condensation may form on the walls, particularly after the appliance has cooled down (sound insulation increases the phenomenon)
