Frequently Asked Questions - DEDW645SI DELONGHI

Why doesn't my dishwasher start?

Check if the door is properly closed, the power supply is on, and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Also ensure the water supply is turned on.

What does error code E1 mean?

Error code E1 indicates low water pressure. Ensure the water tap is fully open and the inlet hose is not kinked.

How can I improve drying results?

Use rinse aid and adjust the rinse aid dosage (setting 4-6). Also, open the door slightly after cycle ends and wait before unloading.

Why are dishes not clean?

Possible causes: improper loading blocking spray arms, insufficient detergent, wrong program, or a clogged filter. Clean filters and use a more intensive program if needed.

How do I clean the filters?

Turn the coarse filter counterclockwise and lift out. Remove the main filter and fine filter. Rinse under running water and scrub gently. Reassemble in reverse order.

Can I use ordinary dish soap?

No, only use detergent specifically designed for automatic dishwashers. Hand soap or laundry detergent will cause excessive suds and may damage the machine.

How do I add a forgotten dish during a cycle?

Press Start/Pause, wait for spray arms to stop, open the door, add the dish, close the door, and press Start/Pause again. The cycle will resume after 10 seconds.

What is the AquaStop system?

AquaStop is an anti-flood protection system with a solenoid valve. If a leak is detected, a float switch signals the valve to shut off water supply, preventing flooding.

How often should I clean the spray arms?

Clean the spray arm jets whenever they become clogged, typically every few months. Remove the arms and rinse under water, using a soft brush for stubborn debris.

What items should not be washed in the dishwasher?

Avoid wooden items, plastic not marked dishwasher-safe, antique or glued cutlery, pewter, copper, crystal glass, and items with wooden or mother-of-pearl handles.

Installation Safety Precautions

Caring for the Dishwasher

The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth. After cleaning, make sure to dry it thoroughly.

For the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Cleaning the Door

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp cloth.

To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

WARNING!

• Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may damage the door lock and electrical components.
• Abrasive agents or some paper towels should not be used because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

To remove the upper spray arm, hold the nut and rotate the arm clockwise to remove it.

To remove the lower spray arm, pull out the spray arm upward.

Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

How to keep your Dishwasher in shape

• After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and colours are not trapped inside.
• Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the electrical plug from the socket.
• To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water.

Electrical Connection

• This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimise the possibility of electrical shock.
• DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE EARTHING CONNECTION FROM THE POWER CORD SUPPLIED. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
• Please look at the rating label to know the rated voltage and connect the dishwasher to the appropriate power supply. Use the required fuse: 10 amp, time delay fuse or circuit breaker recommended, and provide a separate circuit serving only this appliance.
• Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power being used correspond to those on the rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly. If the electrical socket to which the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace the socket rather than using adaptors or the like, as they could cause overheating and burns.
• The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
• The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that

Care and Cleaning

Cabinet Preparation

• The installation position of the dishwasher should be near the existing inlet and drain hoses and power cord. Preparations should be made before moving the dishwasher to the installation place.
• One side of the cabinet sink should be chosen to facilitate the connection of drain hoses of the dishwasher.
• Cabinet dimensions: less than 5mm between the top of the dishwasher and the cabinet, and the outer door aligned to the cabinet.

Note: please check the accompanying installation accessories (hook for aesthetic panel, screw).

- Minimum space between the door and adjacent cabinet when the door is opened is 50mm.

Aesthetic Fascia Panel Dimensions and Installation

- The aesthetic fascia panel should be processed according to the diagram below.

Filtering System

The filler prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump.

The residue may block the filter, in this case they must be removed.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) and a microfilter (Fine filter).

① MAIN FILTER: Food and soil particles trapped in this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down the drain. ② COARSE FILTER: Larger items, such as pieces of bones or glass, that could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the taps on the top of this filter and lift it out. ③ FINE FILTER: This filter holds soil and food residues in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes during a cycle.

AquaStop Anti-Flood Protection

• Your dishwasher is fitted with an AquaStop anti-flood protection system. This system consists of a solenoid safety shut off valve which in the unlikely event of a leak, a float switch will signal the Solenoid to cut off the water supply. Therefore avoiding any flooding.
• Do not immerse the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water. There is an electrical cable for the safety valve in the double-walled water inlet hose.
• If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the main plug immediately.
• Do not enlarge or shorten the inlet hose because it contains electric parts.

Cold Water Connection

1. Connect the 3/4 (inch) connection tightly.

Using Your Dishwasher Installation

Drain Hose Connection

- Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 40mm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The top of the hose must be at a height less than 1000mm. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid back flow.

Syphon Connection

- Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 40mm, or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or crimping it. The top of the hose must be less than 1000mm.

How to Drain Excess Water from Hoses

- If the sink is more than 100cm higher than the floor, the excess water in the hose cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from the hose into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

Water Outlet

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

Extension Hose

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

Cutlery Basket

Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery rack separately from each other in the appropriate positions shown below. Make sure the utensils do not nest together, this may cause bad performance.

For a top quality clean, place the silverware in the basket making sure that:

• They do not nest together. • Silverware is placed with the handle facing up. • Long utensils in the middle.

Damage to glass

Possible Cause • Type of glass composition • Water temperature program.

Suggested remedy - Use glassware marked dishwasher safe - Use a mild detergent if necessary - Select a program - To prevent damage, wait until the dishwasher program has ended.

Loading the Lower Basket

We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult to clean items in the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure below.

It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.

Folding Spikes of Lower Basket

For better stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can be folded down as shown in the picture below.

QUICK START GUIDE

For detailed operating method, read the corresponding content in the instructions.

Using Your Dishwasher

Using Your Dishwasher

BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER

The following things should be checked before starting the dishwasher:

1. That the dishwasher is level and fixed properly.
2. That the inlet valve is open.
3. There is no leakage at the connections of the conducts.
4. The wires are tightly connected.
5. The power is switched on.
6. The inlet and drain hoses are not knotted or kinked.
7. All packing and print materials should be taken out of the dishwasher.

PRIOR TO USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll 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 the Rinse Aid

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

When to 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 colour of the optical level indicator. "C" 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 3/4 Full 1/2 Full 1/4 Full (Should refill to eliminate spotting) ○ Empty

Loading the Upper Basket

The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cup and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).

Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water.

LOADING THE DISHWASHER BASKET

Recommendation

• Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
• Use a mild detergent that is described as 'kind to dishes'. If necessary, seek further information from the detergent manufacturers.
• For particular items, select a program with as low a temperature as possible.
• To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the programme has ended.

Suitability of use in the dishwasher

NOT SUITABLE FOR USE

• Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-pearl handles • Plastic items that are not heat resistant
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant • Bonded cutlery items or dishes
• Pewter or cooper items
• Crystal glass • Steel items subject to rusting
• Wooden platters
• Items made from synthetic fibres

LIMITED SUITABILITY:

- Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes

It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:

1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
2. Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
3. All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
4. All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.

NOTE: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the baskets.

• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other. • To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
• Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket.
• The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups
• Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
• Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

How to Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

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 the "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

Using Your Dishwasher

Using Your Dishwasher

Adjusting the 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 a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "5". If the dishes are still not drying properly or show spots, adjust the dial to the next higher level 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.

Detergents

Detergents have chemical ingredients that are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial

Concentrated Detergent

Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split into two basic types:

• Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
• Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes

The use of "normal" washing programs in combination with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes;

These wash programs are specifically matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason "normal" wash programs in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using "intensive" programs.

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 programs. Therefore please use long programs 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 than Conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. 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.
