Frequently Asked Questions - DWS5X BLANCO

How do I install the dishwasher?
Ensure the installation site is level and has a water supply and drain connection. Connect the inlet hose to a cold water supply (max 60°C). Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. Level the appliance using the adjustable feet. For detailed steps, refer to the installation section of the manual.
How to clean the filter?
Turn off the dishwasher and remove the bottom basket. Twist the filter assembly counterclockwise and lift it out. Rinse under running water, scrubbing away debris. Reinsert and lock by turning clockwise. Perform this monthly to prevent clogs.
What detergents should I use?
Use high-quality dishwasher tablets or powder, combined with rinse aid and dishwasher salt. Avoid regular dish soap. For best results, use a multi-tablet with salt and rinse aid functions. Adjust rinse aid dosage based on water hardness.
What do error codes E15 or E24 mean?
E15 indicates a water intake fault – check the inlet hose for kinks and ensure the water tap is open. E24 means a drain blockage – clean the filter and drain hose. If the error persists, contact support.
Why are my dishes not drying completely?
Ensure you use a rinse aid and set the dosage correctly. Select a program with a drying phase (e.g., Eco or Intensive). Open the door slightly after cycle to release steam. If using plastic items, they retain moisture.
How to reset the dishwasher?
Press and hold the Start/Reset button for 3 seconds. The display will show a countdown and the appliance will drain and reset. If the unit is unresponsive, disconnect power for 30 seconds and reconnect.
When should I add salt and rinse aid?
Add dishwasher salt when the salt indicator lights up – typically every 1-2 months depending on water hardness. Fill the rinse aid reservoir when the rinse aid indicator is low. Adjust the rinse aid setting (1-6) to avoid streaks.
Why is my dishwasher making loud noises?
Check for large debris (e.g., bones, pits) in the filter or spray arms. Ensure the spray arms rotate freely and are not blocked by tall items. A grinding noise may indicate a worn bearing – contact service.
How to save energy and water?
Use the Eco program for normally soiled dishes – it uses less energy and water. Scrape off food but do not pre-rinse. Run the dishwasher only when fully loaded. Use air-dry instead of heated dry if available.
What is the warranty period?
BLANCO offers a 2-year warranty on the DWS5X. Register your product on the BLANCO website for extended coverage. The warranty covers manufacturing defects but not damage from improper use or installation.

4 Using Your Dishwasher

⚠ The electricity and water connections of the dishwater must be in compliance with the instructions in this booklet.

Filling the dishwasher salt

i Only use special dishwasher salt in your appliance. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from the use of the wrong type of salt.

Use Diswasher salt only. Moderate or coarse grained and soluble salts are recommended. Don't use table salt, or any other type, these types of salt do not dissolve in water easily and will damage the softening device.

Remove the lower basket from the appliance.

Open the screw-in cap of the salt container by turning it counter clockwise (fig. A,B).

When operating for the first time:

  • Pour 1 litre of water into the salt container (Fig. C).
  • Pour the salt into the container with the aid of the salt funnel provided (Fig. D).
  • Pour in enough salt to fill the container. The container holds approx. 2 kg.
  • To speed up the rate of dissolution of salt in water, stir it with a spoon.
  • Close the cap tightly.
  • Begin a washing program immediately after filling the salt container. The washing program prevents damage to the appliance which may be caused by any spilled salt solution. After the first washing cycle, the salt level indicator light will go out.

Depending on the particle sizes of different salt brands in the market, tablet properties and water hardness, dissolution of the salt in water may take a couple of hours.

So, the salt indicator continues lighting for a while after filling salt into the machine. (For models with a salt indicator)

Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser

Rinse aids allow washing water to rinse off cleaner and prevent watermarks or streaks on the dishes. Only use rinse aid designed for use in dishwashers.

If you use “2 in 1” or “3 in 1” detergents / tablets, you do not need an additional rinse aid.

Open the rinse aid dispenser by pressing the locking lever (B)

Carefully pour in rinse aid to the MAX mark. Close the lid until it clicks (3).

Carefully wipe off spilled rinse aid. Excessive rinse aid causes excessive foam formation, which may hinder cleaning.

Set the dose of rinse aid

The dose of rinse aid to be used can be set by means of the dispenser regulator (between levels 1 and 6) (4). Your appliance is pre-set at the factory to level 3.

Only change the setting if the following applies after washing:

• Watermarks are visible on the dishes: Set dosage higher
- Streaks are visible on the dishes: Set dosage lower

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

i Only use detergents formulated for use in dishwashers.

⚠ Do not put solvents into the washing compartment; there is the risk of explosion!

Open the detergent container by pushing the locking lever to the right (A).

The lines on the inside of the detergent container will help you measure the correct amount of detergent.

The detergent container holds a total of 40 cm3 of detergent (1).

When the dishwasher is fully loaded and the dishes are very dirty, we recommend filling the detergent container up to the 25 cm 3 mark. When the dishes are less dirty, it is generally sufficient to fill the detergent up to the 15 cm 3 mark.

If your dishes have been in the dishwasher for some time without being washed, you should also fill the small detergent container up to the line (2).

The programme table shows the amounts of detergent required for the different wash programmes.

These may differ according to how dirty the dishes are and the water hardness in your location.

Detergent

Please use detergents produced specially for the dishwashers in your machine.

⚠️ Keep the opened detergent packages in a cool and dry place where children can not reach.

⚠️ We recommend you not to use detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate as they are harmful for the environment. Detergents that contain enzymes are effective in temperatures below 50 °C and help to obtain the same washing efficiency as obtained at higher temperatures.

Put the detergent into the detergent dispenser just before operating the machine.

Please contact the manufacturer to get detailed information about the detergent you are using.

Always use powder detergents in short programs without pre-washing. Fill in the powder detergent into the compartment nr. 2 with a grid cover as shown in the picture and close the detergent box lid. When completely full, this compartment will contain 6 g of powder detergent.

Do not use tablet detergents in short programs since the solubility of them changes depending on the temperature and time.

In programs with pre-washing and high temperature, in which you may use tablet detergents, make sure that the detergent box lid is closed firmly.

Excessive usage of powder detergents can cause the detergent not dissolve completely and can also cause scratches on the glassware.

Multipurpose Detergents

The best washing results in dishwashers is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt individually.

New products of the detergent producers what they call as "Multipurpose Detergent" can act as water softening salt and/or rinse aid in addition to acting as a detergent. Some types of these detergents can also contain special-purpose washing chemicals such as glass and stainless steel protectors.

Multipurpose detergents commonly found in the market:

2in1: Those contain detergent, rinse aid or water softening salt.
3in1: Those contain detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt.
4in1: Those containing glass protectors in addition to detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt.
5in1: Those containing glass and stainless steel protectors in addition to detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt.

Multipurpose detergents give satisfying results only under certain usage conditions. Observe the instructions of the detergent manufacturer on the package when using such detergents. Contact the detergent producer if your dishes are wet and/or if you notice lime spots particularly on your glasses after the washing program is over.

When you give up using such detergents:

Make sure that salt and rinse aid compartments are full.

Set the water hardness to its highest degree and perform an empty run.

After the empty washing review the user manual and readjust the water hardness level so as to suit your water supply.

Make the appropriate rinse aid settings.

Depending on the model, salt indicator and/or rinse aid indicator should be enabled again if they are disabled before.

Loading the dishwasher General:

Before you load the dishwasher with dishes

  • Remove coarse food leftovers
  • Place all containers such as cups, glasses and pots into the machine with the opening facing downwards (so that no water can collect)
  • Dishes and cutlery may not be placed above each other
    • Glasses may not touch

  • The movement of the spray arms must not be hindered

  • Place all large and very dirty items in the lower basket.
  • Small and light items can go into the upper basket.
  • Long and narrow items are placed in the middle of the baskets.

⚠ Knives and other utensils with sharp tips and edges must be placed horizontally into the upper basket due to risk of injury.
