Frequently Asked Questions - DWFS126B BUSH

How do I adjust the upper basket height?
The upper basket can be adjusted by placing the wheels on different height levels of the rails. Pull out the basket, lift it slightly, and reposition the wheels onto the desired rail height to create more space for large items.
Why is the salt indicator still on after adding salt?
It takes time for the salt to dissolve. The indicator may remain on for a few cycles even after refilling. Ensure you added water (500ml) and used only dishwasher salt. Running a short rinse cycle can help.
What does error code E1 mean?
Error code E1 indicates that the door is open during operation. Close the door firmly; the dishwasher will resume after 10 seconds. Ensure nothing obstructs the door seal.
How often should I clean the filters?
The filters should be checked and cleaned regularly, ideally every few weeks or when you notice debris. Rinse them under running water and reassemble. Never operate the dishwasher without filters.
Can I use regular dish soap instead of dishwasher detergent?
No, only use detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. Regular dish soap creates excessive suds that can damage the appliance and leave residue on dishes.
What is the 3-in-1 function?
The 3-in-1 function is designed for use with all-in-one dishwasher tablets containing detergent, rinse aid, and salt. Press the 3-in-1 button before starting a program; the appliance will adjust settings accordingly. It is still recommended to keep salt in the softener for optimal results.
How do I enable the child lock?
To activate child lock, press and hold the Child Lock button and the 3 in 1 button simultaneously for at least 3 seconds. The child lock indicator will flash and then stay on. Repeat the same action to unlock.
What should I do if the dishwasher doesn't start?
Check that the mains plug is inserted, the door is fully closed (a click sound indicates proper closure), and the water supply is turned on. Also ensure the program is selected and start/pause is pressed.
Why are my dishes not drying properly?
Ensure you are using rinse aid and the dispenser is set appropriately (try a higher setting). Avoid opening the door immediately after the cycle; let dishes cool inside. Also check that the drying option is enabled and the correct program (with drying) is selected.
What is the warranty period and how do I claim?
The product is guaranteed for 12 months from the original purchase date against manufacturing defects. To claim, contact the Customer Helpline at 0345 600 4632. The guarantee does not cover accidental damage, misuse, or consumable items.

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).

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.

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.

Care and Maintenance

General

BUSH DWFS126B - General - 1

Important: Always unplug the appliance from the power socket during cleaning and enance.

  • Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent or wax polish for cleaning.
  • Clean the external surfaces with a damp soft cloth only. Never use abrasive products or solvents as it may damage the dishwasher.
  • One of the factors that cause odour is the food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic clean the seal with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

The filter system consists of a main filter, coarse filter and fine filter.

  • Main filter (1) - Food and soil particles trapped in this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down the drain.
  • Coarse filter (2) - Larger items such as pieces of bones 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.
  • Fine filter (3) - This filter holds soil and food residues in the sump area and prevents it from being re-deposit on the dishes during a cycle.
