Frequently Asked Questions - DWC06E3W Ardo

How do I install the dishwasher?

Refer to the installation section in the manual. Ensure the appliance is level near water inlet and drain, connect hoses, and plug into a grounded outlet. The drain hose must not exceed 75 cm height. Use a new hose set.

How do I fill the salt and rinse aid?

For salt, remove the bottom basket, unscrew the salt container cap, add 1 liter of water before first use, then about 1 kg of dishwasher salt. For rinse aid, open the dispenser cap inside the door and pour until the indicator turns dark. Only use products specifically for dishwashers.

What washing programmes are available?

The dishwasher offers three programmes: Normal (for normally soiled loads, 60°C wash), Eco (50°C, energy-saving standard cycle), and Rapid (40°C, quick wash for lightly soiled items).

How do I clean the filters?

Turn the filter assembly counterclockwise and lift it out. Disassemble the coarse, fine, and micro filters. Rinse under running water and use a brush if needed. Reassemble and reinstall. Clean weekly to maintain performance.

What should I do if the dishwasher does not start?

Check if the door is closed securely, the power cord is plugged in, and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Also ensure the water supply is open. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting section.

Can I change the programme after starting?

Yes, if done early. Press the Start/Pause button, then hold the desired programme button for more than 3 seconds to switch. Note that detergent may have already been released, so you may need to refill the dispenser.

How much detergent should I use?

Use one tablespoon of powder detergent for a normal load. For heavily soiled items, add extra. Always add detergent just before starting the cycle. Refer to the dosing markings in the dispenser cup. Use only dishwasher-specific detergent.

What do the error codes mean?

Error codes include 'longer inlet time' (faucet closed or low water pressure) and 'overflow' (water leak). If overflow occurs, turn off main water supply before calling service. Detailed troubleshooting is in the manual.

Can I wash plastic items?

4. Prior using for the first time

NOTE: If your model have no water softener, you may skip this section.

A. Loading the Salt Into the Softener

Alwaysusesaltintendedforusewithdishwasher.

The salt container is located beneath the basket and should be filled as follows:

Attention!

■ Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers! All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener. In case of damages caused by the use of unsuitable salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any caused damages.
■ Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been split, remaining of the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.

A Remove the basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container. 1
B Before first wash, add 1 lt. of water in the salt container of your machine.
C Place the end of the funnel (supplied) into the hole and introduce about 1kg of salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
D After filling the container, screw the cap tightly back clockwise.
E Usually, the salt warning light will be cease to be illuminated within 2-6 days after the salt container has been filled with salt.
F Immediately after filling the salt into the salt container, a washing programme should be started (Suggest choose rapid programme). Otherwise filtersystem, pumper other important parts of the machine may be damaged by salty water. It is outof warranty.

NOTE:

1. The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes on. Depending on how fully the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on even though the saltcontainerisfilled. If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (For some Models), you can judge when to load the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher had run.
2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak or a rapid program should be run to remove the excess salt.

B. Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

RinseAid Dispenser

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes. That can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.

Function of Rinse Aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

Attention!

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any others substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

Whento Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse-aid by the color of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the whole indicator will be dark. As the rinse-aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1/4 full.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

Full
3/4full
1/2 full
1 / 4 full - Should refill to eliminate spotting
Empty

1 To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out.
2 Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3 Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

NOTE: Clean up any rinse aid split during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser has six or four settings. Always start with the dispenser set on "4". If spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "5". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. The recommended setting is "4". (Factory value is "4".)

NOTE:

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

C. Function of Detergent

Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Most of commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

Detergents

There are 3 sorts of detergents

1. With phosphate and with chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without phosphate and without chloride

Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when the hardness of water is only 6dH. If detergents without phosphate were used in case of hard water often white spots appear at dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will not remove completely. In this case please choose a programme with higher Temperature.

ConcentratedDetergent

Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher can be split into wobasictypes:

■ conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
■ low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes

Detergent Tablets

Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Detergent Dispenser

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid then conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Amount of Detergent to Use

NOTE:

■ If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid springs open.
■ Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
■ Only use branded detergentaidfordishwasher.

WARNING!

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.

ProperUseofDetergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.

Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.

Fill indetergent

Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent.

The marking indicates the dosing levels, as illustrated on right:

A The place of main wash cycle detergent placed.

B The place of pre-wash cycle detergent placed.

Please observe the manufacturers dosing and storage Recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional

detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent chamber. This detergent will take effect during the pre-wash phase.

NOTE:

■ You find information about the amount of detergent for the single programme on the last page.
■ Please aware, that according to the level soiling and the specific hardness of water differences are possible.
■ Please observe the manufacturer's recommendations on the detergent packaging.

5. Loading the Dishwasher Baskets

7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Filtering System

The filter prevent larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) and a micro filter (fine filter).

Mainfilter 1

Food and soil particle trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down to drain.

Finefilter 2

This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposit on the dishes during wash cycle.

Coarsefilter 3

Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeezethetaponthetopofthis filter and liftout.

Filterassembly

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be re-cyclated during the cycle. For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be regularly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapping in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the filter and cup under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction.

WARNING!

■ Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.
■ The dishwasher must never be used without the filters.
■ Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damaged dishes and utensils.

■ RemovethePlug

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.

■ No Solventsor Abrasive Cleaning

Toclean 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 with a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

■ Whenitis not in need for a long time

It is recommend that you run a washcycle 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 seal to ast longer and prevent odours from forming within the appliance.

■ MovingtheAppliance

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odor to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

Water Connection

Cold Water Connection

Connect the cold water supply hose to a threaded 3/4(inch) connector and make sure that it is fastened tightly in place. If the water pipes are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure that the water is clear and free of impurities. If this precaution is not taken, there is a risk that the water inlet can get blocked and damage the appliance.

WARNING!

Pleaseclosethehydrantafterusing.

Connection of drain hoses

Insert the drain hose into a drain pip with a minimum diameter of 4 cm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. Use the spe plastics support that comes with the appliance. The free end of the hose must be at a height lower than 75 cm and must not be immersed in water to avoid the back flow of it.

Attention:

The special plastic hose support must be solidly fastened to the wall to prevent the drain hose from moving and allowing water to spill outside the drain.

How to Drain Excess Water From Hoses

If the sink is 1000 higher from the floor, the excess water in hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

WaterOutlet

Connect the water drain hose. The drain hose must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or squashed.

ExtensionHose

If you need a drain hose extension, observe to use a similar drain hose. It must be no longer than 4 metres; otherwise the cleaning effect of the dishwasher could be reduced.

Start of dishwasher

The following things should be checked before starting the dishwasher.

1 The dishwasher is level and fixed properly
2 The inlet valve is open
3 There is a leakage at the connections of the conducts
4 The wires are tightly connected
