Frequently Asked Questions - DWFS146W BUSH

What type of detergent should I use?

Use dishwasher detergent in powder, gel, or tablet form. For best results, choose a brand with rinse aid and salt if your water is hard. Do not use hand dish soap.

How do I install the dishwasher?

Installation should be done by a qualified professional. Ensure the water supply and drain connections are correct, and the device is level. Refer to the installation section of the manual for details.

Why is my dishwasher not cleaning properly?

Check that filters are clean, spray arms are not blocked, detergent dispenser opens correctly, and water temperature is adequate (around 50-60°C). Also ensure proper loading to avoid blocking water flow.

How do I clean the dishwasher?

Clean filters under running water monthly. Run an empty cycle with dishwasher cleaner or a cup of vinegar every 3 months. Wipe door seals and exterior regularly.

What does the error code E4 mean?

Error code E4 typically indicates a heating problem. This may be caused by a faulty heating element or a safety thermostat. Contact a technician for repair.

Can I use the dishwasher without rinse aid?

Yes, but drying performance may be reduced. Rinse aid helps water sheet off dishes, preventing spots. If you have soft water, you may use less or omit it.

How should I load dishes for best results?

Place plates facing inward, load cutlery with handles down, and avoid nesting bowls. Ensure water spray from arms can reach all surfaces. Read the manual for optimal loading diagrams.

What is the quiet operating mode?

The dishwasher runs at 49 dB, which is quiet for conversation. If you need even quieter operation, use the Night/Delayed start program, but note it may extend cycle time.

How do I reset the dishwasher?

Press and hold the Start/Pause button for 3-5 seconds until the display turns off. Wait 1 minute and turn it back on. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting section.

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts for the Bush DWFS146W are available online through retailers or authorised service centres. Use the full model number when searching. Common parts include filters, spray arms, and heating elements.

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 30g 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.
