Frequently Asked Questions - DWF45X BLANCO

What should I do if my dishwasher does not start?

Check that the mains plug is properly connected, all fuses are working, the water supply is fully turned on, the door is closed firmly, and you have pressed the On/Off button. Also ensure the filter on the water intake is not clogged.

Why are my dishes not clean after a cycle?

Possible causes include improper loading, incorrect program selection, blocked spray arms, clogged filters, inadequate detergent or rinse aid, or overloading. Refer to the manual for loading suggestions and program selection.

How often should I clean the filters?

Clean the filters regularly. The manual recommends removing the complete filter system and washing it under running water from time to time. The frequency depends on usage, but monthly cleaning is a good practice.

Can I use regular table salt instead of dishwasher salt?

No, use only special dishwasher salt. Table salt does not dissolve properly and can damage the water softener. The salt container holds approx. 2 kg of dishwasher salt.

Why is there water remaining in the dishwasher after a cycle?

This could be due to clogged filters, a blocked or twisted drainage hose, or improper siphon connection. Check and clean the filters, ensure the drainage hose is not kinked, and verify the drainage height is between 50 and 100 cm.

How do I adjust the rinse aid dosage?

Open the rinse aid dispenser cap, then rotate the dispenser regulator (levels 1-6). The factory setting is 3. Increase if watermarks are visible, decrease if streaks appear. Use only dishwasher rinse aid.

What should I not wash in the dishwasher?

Avoid washing rust-sensitive steel parts, wooden or horn-handled cutlery, non-heat-resistant plastics, glued items, copper/tin/aluminium items, decorative glass, lead crystal, art and craft items, and items soiled with ash, wax, varnish, paints, or chemicals.

How do I clean the spray arms?

Remove the lower basket, then pull off the lower spray arm upward. For the upper spray arm, loosen the fastening screw and pull it off. Clean both under running water and replace. Ensure screws are tightened.

What does the AQUASAFE+ system do?

AQUASAFE+ is a water protection system that prevents water damage from the inlet hose. It contains electrical components; do not immerse the valve box in water. If damaged, unplug the appliance and do not shorten or lengthen the hose.

How do I fill the salt container for the first time?

Remove the lower basket, open the salt container cap, pour 1 liter of water into the container, then add approximately 2 kg of dishwasher salt using the provided funnel. Close the cap tightly and run a wash program immediately.

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 easily 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 more cleanly 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 cm ³ 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:

Leaving the dishes in the dishwasher for a long time

Loading the dishes into the dishwasher without completely drying after washing them with hand-wash detergent.

- Hand-wash detergents do not contain antifoam. There is no need to hand-wash the dishes with detergent before loading the dishes into the machine. Scraping the coarse soil on the surfaces with a tissue paper or fork will be sufficient.

Spilling rinse aid in the machine while filling

Leaving the rinse aid lid open or not closing it

- Rinse aid compartment should always be closed as shown in the manual after it is filled with rinse aid.
