Frequently Asked Questions - SC-1300AU6DWW Seiki

Does this dishwasher need rinse aid?

It is strongly suggested that rinse aid be used to enhance drying performance. If not, water may remain on dishes and the machine liner. Rinse aid helps ensure most water is removed during rinsing, preparing for drying.

Why is there a muddy white film on my tableware after washing?

This is usually caused by the reaction of minerals in water with detergent. Do not use too much detergent. For recommended amounts, refer to the manual. Adding rinse aid helps wash off the film.

How do I remove the white film on the machine liner?

Put 3 tablespoons (40 g) of citric acid powder in the main detergent compartment and run the Machine Care program without detergent.

Why do I hear the dishwasher whistling?

Whistling can occur when water is being sucked into the dishwasher. This is normal. If the water pressure is too high, the sound may be louder. Adjust the water valve to reduce pressure if needed.

Can this machine perform a 'drain only' cycle?

Yes. To drain accumulated water, press and hold the Start/Pause button for 3 seconds. The program will reset for drainage, and the power will turn off once drained.

What is child lock and how is it activated?

Child lock prevents changes to controls during a program. It does not lock the door or prevent power off. To activate or deactivate, press and hold both Program and Delay Timer buttons for 3 seconds.

Should I wash the dishes before loading them into the dishwasher?

No. The dishwasher can clean dishes without pre-washing. Simply scrape off excess food and load dishes directly.

What does error code E1 mean?

E1 indicates a problem with water inlet. Check if the water inlet hose is blocked, knotted, or frozen, and ensure the water supply is on.

What does error code E2 mean?

E2 indicates drainage problems. Check if the drain hose is blocked, knotted, or frozen. Also clean the air gap and filter if necessary.

How do I clean the filter?

Remove the lower dish rack and fix the bottom spray arm. Rotate the filter cup counterclockwise and take out the filter assembly. Clean each part with running water and a soft brush, then reassemble and lock clockwise until it clicks.

OPERATION (Cont.)

Before Use

Soft water system

This machine is equipped with a soft water system, which can lower the hardness of inlet water. This system softens the water supply to a certain extent, so that tableware can be washed as per quality requirements.

If the soft water system is not required, this machine can be used without dishwashing salt, but the hardness level needs to be set to HO so that the corresponding icon will not be on all the time.

In order to achieve a satisfactory washing effect, this machine needs soft water, otherwise water stains will remain on the tableware and inside the dishwasher. If the hardness of tap water exceeds a certain level, it must be softened, i.e. decalcified, by adding dishwashing salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher. The amount of salt required is set according to the hardness of the tap water.

Check the water hardness

- Check the local water hardness. The water company can help you check it.

- Set the softening system level of the dishwasher according to the hardness level of water.

Set the soft water system

Adjust the settings according to the hardness level of the water used in the water supply. The water softener has 9 adjustment levels, and the dishwasher has been set to the water hardness level of H5 when leaving the factory.

OPERATION (Cont.)

Warning:

Dishwasher detergents and rinse aid contain the same chemicals as all other household detergents. Therefore, they must be kept out of the reach of children.

Use dishwasher detergent only. Improper detergent may cause the dishwasher to fill with foam during operation. Too much foam may mitigate the washing performance and may cause the dishwasher to leak.

Do not pull up the dispenser to close the dishwasher door to avoid damaging the dispenser.

Note

You may check whether the detergent is completely washed off after the washing program is completed.

Some dishwasher detergent tablets may get stuck in the dispenser due to their large size. Before starting the program, you may place the tablets at the bottom of the washing bucket next to the filter.

Too much detergent will leave a film on the tableware and in the dishwasher, resulting in poor washing effect.

If the liquid rinse aid is used, the water can be drained from the dishes after final rinsing, so as to improve drying performance.

Do not use detergent tablets to shorten the washing cycle. Tablets may not be dissolved completely, resulting in residual detergent on tableware and poor cleaning efficiency.

The rinse aid can help remove spots, residues and white films caused by hard water. But it cannot help remove excess detergent residues.

Warning:

Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of the wash cycle.

FAQs

Please be sure to contact our call centre on [e-mail] if you cannot identify the issue with the below information.

Q: Does this dishwasher need rinse aid?

A: It is strongly suggested that rinse aid be used to enhance the drying performance of the dishwasher. If not, water may remain on the dishes and machine liner. Rinse aid helps ensure that most of the water is removed from the dishes at the end of rinsing, and the load is ready for the drying cycle.

Q: Why is there a muddy white film on my tableware after washing?

A: It is usually caused by the reaction of minerals in the water with dishwasher detergent. Do not use too much detergent. For the recommended amount of detergent, please refer to “Add detergent to the dispenser” section. This machine consumes less water than a traditional dishwasher, so adding rinse aid will help wash off the film.

Q: How do I remove the white film on the machine liner?

A: Put 3 tablespoons (40 g) of citric acid powder in the main detergent compartment. Run the “Machine Care” program once without detergent.

Q: Why do I hear the dishwasher whistling?

A: It is important to determine the duration of noise and the time when it occurs (which part of the cycle). You can hear whistle when water is sucked into the dishwasher. This is normal. If the water pressure is too high, the sound will be louder. Therefore, if the noise is too loud, you may need to adjust the water valve to reduce the pressure.

Q: Can this machine perform a "drain only" cycle?

A: To drain the accumulated water, you may press and hold the Start/Pause button for 3s, and the program will reset for drainage. Once the dishwasher is drained, the power supply will turn off.

Q: What is child lock? How is it activated?

A: Child lock is a function that prevents the control from being changed during the program running. It will not prevent the door from being opened or the machine from being turned off. To enable or disable it, you may press and hold both "Program" and "Delay timer" buttons for 3s.

Q: Should I wash the dishes before loading them into the dishwasher?

A: No. The dishwasher can clean the dishes without pre-washing.
