Frequently Asked Questions - DWFS147SS BUSH

How do I start a wash cycle on the Bush DWFS147SS?
Close the door, select the desired program using the program button, and press the Start button. The machine will begin after a short delay.
What should I do if the dishwasher does not drain?
Clean the filter and check the drain hose for kinks. If the problem persists, run a cleaning cycle with a descaler or contact service.
Can I use regular dish soap?
No, only use dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, or tabs). Regular dish soap causes oversudsing and damage.
How to clean the filter?
Remove the lower basket, twist the coarse filter counterclockwise to remove, rinse under water, and reassemble. Clean monthly.
Why are dishes not drying properly?
Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled, and select a program with drying option. Leave door ajar after cycle for steam to escape.
What is the Eco program?
The Eco program is for normally soiled dishes, optimised for water and energy savings. It runs longer but uses less resources.
How to reset the control panel?
Press and hold the Start button for 3 seconds, or turn off the power at the socket for 1 minute, then restore power.
Can I wash pots and pans?
Yes, use the Intensive program (70°C) for heavily soiled cookware. Place them face down in the lower basket.
How often should I run a maintenance wash?
Use a dishwasher cleaner monthly, or run an empty cycle with vinegar to remove limescale and odours.
What does the error code E1 mean?
E1 indicates a water supply issue. Check the tap is open and the inlet hose is not kinked. If the problem continues, contact support.

Water pressure

For best operating results, incoming water pressure should be between 0.04 and 1 Mpa.

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot clean water and detergent (under pressure) against the soiled surface of dishes. The water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter removing food and soiled particles and pumped back through the spray arm.

Note: Hard water conditions will adversely affect the performance of your dishwasher. To minimise this condition, it is recommended to periodically operate/rinse the dishwasher in empty condition using 1 cup of white vinegar (at least once a week).

User Instructions

Before first use

Before using your appliance for the first time:

  • Set the water softener
  • Add 2kg dishwasher salt and then full fill the salt container with 500ml water
    • Fill the rinse aid dispenser
  • Fill in detergent

Water Softener

The dishwasher is designed with a softener to eliminate the minerals and lime from the water supply. The hardness of the water supply varies from place to place and will affect the dishwasher performance. The amount of salt consumed can be adjusted based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customize the level of salt consumption.

Adjusting salt consumption

  1. Unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.
  2. There is a ring on the container with an arrow. Rotate the ring in anticlockwise direction from “-” sign towards “+” sign, based on the table at right.

Loading the salt into softener

  1. Remove the lower basket and then unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container. (Fig 1)
  2. Place the end of the funnel(supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2 kg of dishwasher salt.
  3. Full fill the salt container with water. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container. (Fig 2)
  4. Screw the cap tightly back clockwise.
  5. Immediately after filling the salt, a washing cycle should be started (soak or rapid program suggested). Otherwise the filter system or pump may be damaged by salty water.

BUSH DWFS147SS - Loading the salt into softener - 1

Important:

  • Only use dishwasher salt
  • Add the salt again when the salt warning light at control panel is on.
  • It takes time to dissolve the salt so the salt warning light may still come on even the salt container is filled.

Before first use

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers, as other types may damage the dishwasher.

The dispenser must be filled 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 sufficient for a normal wash load. Heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before the start of the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Loading the detergent

  1. The detergent dispenser (recessed area) located at the inside of the door.
    2.Open the lid by pressing the release button.
  2. Pour the detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels:
    A – Detergent for main wash cycle. 'MIN' means approximately 20g of detergent.
    B – Detergent for pre-wash cycle, approximately 5g of detergent.
  3. Close the lid until it locks in place.

Note: follow the detergent manufacturer's guidelines. Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep it out of reach of children.

Loading your appliance

Preparing your dishes prior washing

  • Scrape off all food residuals from the dishes.
  • Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease.
    • Empty any liquids from glasses and cups
  • Dishes with dried-on foods are more difficult to wash and may not come clean in a normal wash cycle.
  • Arrange all items with recessed or curved sections on a slant to drain water away.
  • Cups, pots and glasses etc should be placed upside down.

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, 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.

Adjusting the upper basket

The height of the upper basket can be adjusted in order to create more space for large utensils both for the upper/lower basket. The height of the upper basket can be adjusted by placing the wheels on different height of the rails. Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers and knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms. The shelf can be folded back or removed when not in use.
