Frequently Asked Questions - SD-9241SS SPT

How do I install the dishwasher to my faucet?

Install the Faucet Adapter onto your faucet (screw on). Then attach the Quick Connect assembly by pulling down the locking collar and pushing upward until it snaps. Ensure the connection is secure and check for leaks. For male or female faucet threads, use the correct number of rubber washers as described in the manual.

How do I start a wash cycle?

Ensure the dishwasher is plugged in and water is turned on. Add detergent and check rinse aid. Close the door, press the ON/OFF button, then press PROG to select a program (All-in-1, Heavy, Normal, Light, Rinse, or Speed). Optionally set a delay using the DELAY button (1-24 hours). Press START/PAUSE to begin.

What do the error codes E1 and E3 mean?

E1 indicates long inlet time: check that the faucet is fully open and water intake is not restricted. E3 indicates long heating time or failure to reach temperature: possible malfunction of the temperature sensor or heating element. Contact service if problem persists.

How often should I clean the filters?

Clean the entire filter assembly at least once a week. Turn the filter counterclockwise and lift it out. Rinse under running water and use a soft brush for the coarse and fine filters. Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.

Why are there spots or cloudy film on my glasses?

Spots and filming are often caused by hard water, low inlet temperature, overloading, or insufficient rinse aid. Try using less detergent if you have soft water, increase rinse aid setting, or run a cleaning cycle with vinegar or citric acid as described in the manual.

How do I adjust the rinse aid dispenser?

The rinse aid dispenser has 4 settings. Start at setting 2. If spots or poor drying occur, turn the dial to a higher setting. Refill when the rinse aid warning light illuminates. Use only liquid rinse aid designed for dishwashers.

Can I use regular dish soap or laundry detergent?

No, use only dishwasher-specific detergent. Using soap or laundry detergent will cause excessive suds and may damage the dishwasher. If suds appear, open the door to let them evaporate, add cold water, and run a drain cycle.

How do I clean the spray arms?

Regularly remove the spray arms by unscrewing the nut and washer. Wash with warm soapy water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Reinstall carefully ensuring free rotation. This prevents clogging from hard water deposits.

What should I do if the dishwasher doesn't start?

Check that the power cord is plugged in, the circuit breaker/fuse is intact, and the door is closed securely. Verify water supply is on and water pressure is adequate. If using a delay start, ensure the delay period is set correctly.

How do I remove hard water stains from the interior?

Run a normal wash cycle with two cups of white vinegar placed in a bowl on the lower rack. Do not add detergent or dishes. If stains persist, repeat with 1/4 cup citric acid crystals instead of vinegar. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Loading the Dishwasher

For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

The following items are not suitable for wash in the dishwasher:

• Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-pearl handles and wooden platters
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant
• Older cutlery with glued parts, bonded cutlery items or dishes
• Pewter or copper items
• Crystal glass
• Steel items subject to rusting
• Very small items as they may fall out the basket
• Items made from synthetic fibers

Items of limited suitability:

• Silver and aluminum - tends to discolor after washing
• Glazed patterns may fade

CUTLERY BASKET

Flatware should be placed in the cutlery basket with handles at the bottom. Knives and other sharp utensils should be placed with handles up, but make sure the tips do not extend through the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, spoons should be loaded individually into slots. Longer utensils should be placed horizontally at the front of the upper rack.

▲ WARNING!

Do not let any item extend through bottom.

UPPER RACK

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups 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. The upper rack can be lifted (or lowered) by removing and placing the rack into different rails. This makes room for either rack to accommodate different size items.

1 Cups
2 Saucer
3 Glasses

LOWER RACK

We recommend placing large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower rack: 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.

Pots, serving bowls, etc, must always be placed top down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
The bottom rack feature fold down tine rows to accommodate larger pots and pans.

4 Serving bowl
5 Fruit bowl
6 Bread and butter plates
7 Serving plate
8 Dinner plates
9 Silverware basket

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE

• Scrape off food particles before loading.
• Soften remnant of burnt food in pans
• Place cups, glasses, bowls, pots/pans face down.
• Curved items, or those with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so water can furn off.
• Allow sufficient space between items to allow water and detergent to reach each surface.
• Ensure glasses and stemware are secure and balanced.
• Ensure breakable items are not sitting on metal cutlery which can chip the dishes.
• Do not overload the dishwasher.

WARNING

- To prevent damage, do not remove glass and cutlery from the dishwasher immediately after end of a program. Allow the dishware to return to room temperature

Detergent Dispenser

To prevent formation of deposits, do not add too much detergent. This dishwasher has specially designed water softener.

This unit uses less detergent and rinse aid than most conventional dishwashers. In general, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Add more detergent as needed for heavily soiled loads. The amount of detergent can also vary due to differences in water hardness. To determine the water hardness in your area, contact your local water utility company. The harder the water, the more detergent may be needed. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent by small amounts until you find the correct amount.

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle and always add detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and not dissolve properly.

Use only detergent specifically made for use with dishwashers.

▲WARNING!

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive!

Removing Hard Water Spots

To remove hard water spots, try the following:

■ Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans, etc., from the di shwasher.
Do not add detergent.
Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face up on the lower rack of the dishwasher.

- Run the dishes through a normal wash program. If this doesn't work, try the same process with 1 / 4 cup of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.

Take care to keep it out of reach of children.

Rinse Aid Dispenser

To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out.
■ Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
■ To replace, align cap with open arrow and turn clockwise to close

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 dishwashers are 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 dispenser holds about 100ml of liquid rinse aid.
- Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.
- Don't forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher door.
If you have soft water, you may not need rinse aid for it may cause a white film to develop on your dishes.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser

Adjustable setting

A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with detergent, the amount of rinse aid needed for your dishes depends on the hardness of the water in your area. Too much rinse aid can result in lather of foaming and cause cloudiness or steaks on your dishes. If the water in your area is very soft, you may not need rinse aid. If you do, you can dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount of water.

The rinse aid dispenser has four settings. Always start with the dispenser set on "2". If spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "3". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to "4". Refill when the Rinse Aid Warning Light illuminates.
