Frequently Asked Questions - AJ14600DD ASPES

How do I install the dishwasher?

Ensure the appliance is level and connected to water supply and drain. For built-in installation, secure the dishwasher under the countertop. Refer to the installation manual for detailed steps.

What type of detergent should I use?

Use a dedicated dishwasher detergent, either powder, gel, or tablets. Avoid using liquid hand soap as it can cause excessive suds.

How do I clean the filter?

Remove the lower rack and unscrew the filter assembly. Rinse under running water to remove debris. Reassemble and check that it's properly seated. Clean the filter monthly for optimal performance.

Why is the dishwasher not draining?

Check the drain hose for kinks or clogs. Clean the filter and ensure the garbage disposal (if connected) is clear. A blocked drain pump or hose may require professional repair.

How do I set the delay start?

Press the Delay Start button repeatedly to select the desired delay (e.g., 3, 6, 9 hours). Close the door and the program will start after the set time.

What does the salt indicator light mean?

The salt indicator lights up when the water softener needs regeneration salt. Refill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt and reset the indicator if required.

How do I adjust the rinse aid dosage?

Open the rinse aid dispenser and rotate the dial to set the amount (1-6). A higher dosage prevents water spots. The default setting is usually 3.

Why is there water left at the bottom after a cycle?

A small amount of water may remain to seal the door and prevent odors. If excess water remains, check the filter and drain hose for blockages. A faulty drain pump might be the cause.

How do I reset the dishwasher?

Press and hold the Start/Reset button for 3 seconds to cancel a cycle and drain water. If unresponsive, unplug the dishwasher for 1 minute and replug.

Where can I find the serial number?

The serial number is located on the rating label on the right side of the door or on the back panel. It is needed for warranty and spare parts orders.

Water Softener

The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.

The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The more minerals there are, the harder your water is.

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

Adjusting salt consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption.

Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.

1. Closed door, on the appliance;

2. Within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on press the Program button for more than 5 seconds to enter the water softener setting mode.

3. Press the Prog select the proper set according to your local environment, the set will change in the following sequence:

$$ H 1 - > H 2 - > H 3 - > H 4 - > H 5 - > H 6; $$

1. Press the Power button to end the setting mode

Please check the section 3 "Loading The Salt Into The Softener" of PART I: Generic Version, If your dishwasher lacks salt.

NOTE:

If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this section. Water Softener

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.

The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt container specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.

Preparing And Loading Dishes

• Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
• For particular items, select a program with the lowest possible temperature.
• To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.

For washing the following cutlery/dishes

Are not suitable

• Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-pearl handles
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant
- Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes
- Pewter or cooper items
- Crystal glass
• Steel items subject to rusting
- Wooden platters
• Items made from synthetic fibres

Are of limited suitability

• Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes
• Silver and aluminum parts have a tendency to discolor during washing
- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently

Recommendations for loading the dishwasher

Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.

For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.

(Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.)

Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:the

• Items such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. mfaste downwards.
• Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
• All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
• All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
  • To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.
• The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.
• Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
• Long and sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
• Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption of energy.

NOTE:

Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.

Removing the dishes

To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.

WARNING

Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the program has ended.

Loading the upper basket

The upper basket 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 will not get moved by the spray of water.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with no visible text or symbols

Loading the lower basket

We suggest that you place large and difficult to clean items into the lower basket: such as 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.

The maximum diameter advised for plates in front of the detergent dispenser is of 19 cm, this not to hamper the opening of it.

Function Of The Rinse Aid And Detergent

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. run

WARNING

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

When to refill the rinse aid dispenser

Unless the rinse-aid warning light ( ✉ ) on the control panel is on, you can always estimate the amount from the color of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the dark dot decreases as the rinse-aid diminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level be less than 1/4 full.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.
