Frequently Asked Questions - DW66IX NORDMENDE

How do I reset my Nordmende DW66IX dishwasher?

To reset, press and hold the Start button for 3 seconds until the display shows '0'. Close the door and select a new program.

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

Check that the door is properly closed, the power cord is plugged in, and the water supply is on. Also ensure the child lock is not activated.

How often should I clean the filter?

Clean the filter after every 10-15 washes to prevent clogging. Remove it, rinse under running water, and reinsert.

Why is there standing water at the bottom of the dishwasher?

This could be due to a blocked filter or drain hose. Clean the filter and check the drain hose for kinks or clogs.

Can I use regular dish soap in my dishwasher?

No, only use dishwasher detergent (tablets, powder, or gel). Regular dish soap creates excess foam and may cause damage.

How do I enable the child lock?

Press and hold the Option button for 5 seconds until a lock icon appears on the display. To disable, repeat the process.

What does the error code 'E1' mean?

Error E1 indicates a water supply issue. Check if the water tap is open and the inlet hose is not blocked.

How much salt and rinse aid should I add?

Fill the salt reservoir until full (approximately 1 kg) and set the hardness level according to your water. For rinse aid, fill to the 'max' line in the dispenser.

Why are my dishes not drying properly?

Ensure you use a rinse aid and select a program with drying features. Also avoid overloading and leave the door slightly open after the cycle.

Where can I find spare parts for the DW66IX?

Contact Nordmende customer service or visit authorized dealers. Spare parts are available for up to 10 years after purchase.

An Aquastop water spout is available with some models. Do not damage it or allow it to become kinked or twisted.

2.4. Drain Hose

Connect the water drain hose directly to water drain hole or to the sink outlet spigot. This connection should be minimum 50 cm and maximum 110 cm from flor plane.

IMPORTANT: Items will not wash properly if a drain hose longer than 4 m is used.

2.5. Electrical connection

WARNING: Your machine is set to operate at 220-240 V. If the mains voltage supply to your machine is 110 V, connect a transformer of 110/220 V and 3000 W between the electrical connection.

The earthed plug of the machine must be connected to an earthed outlet supplied by suitable voltage and current.

4. BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

4.1. Preparing your Dishwasher for first use

• Check whether the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated in the installation instructions for the machine.
• Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.
• Set the water softener level.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.

4.2. Fill the salt (IF AVAILABLE)

To fill with softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter clockwise. (1) (2) At first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt and water (3) until it is almost overflowing. If available, using the funnel (4) provided will make filling easier. Replace the cap and close it. After every 20th-30th wash, add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).

Fill the salt compartment with water the first time you fill the salt compartment only.

Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers.

When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment is filled with water, therefore put the softener salt in prior to starting your machine.

If the softener salt has overflowed and you do not start the machine immediately, run a short washing program to protect your machine against corrosion.

4.3. Test Strip

Run water through tap (1min.)	Keep the strip in water (1sec)	Shake the strip.	Wait (1min.)	Set the hardness level of your machine.

NOTE: Level is set 3 as default. If the water is well water or has a hardness level above 90 dF, we recommend that you use filter and refinement devices.
