To start a wash cycle, load your dishwasher, add detergent, select your desired program using the control panel, and press the start button. Ensure the door is properly closed to initiate the cycle.
First, check for any blockages in the filter, drain hose, and sink drain. Clean the filter and remove any obstructions. If the problem persists, inspect the drain pump and hose for clogs or damages.
Remove the lower dish rack, twist the filter compartment located at the bottom of the dishwasher, and lift it out. Rinse the filter under running water and use a soft brush to remove debris. Reinsert the filter by aligning it correctly and twisting it back into place.
Regularly clean the filter, check and clean the spray arms, wipe the door seals, and run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner to prevent buildup of limescale and residues.
The Eco 50°C program is an energy-efficient cycle designed to clean normally soiled dishes with less water and energy, making it ideal for daily use.
Open the dishwasher door, remove the rinse aid cap, and turn the arrow to adjust the dosage level. Increase the level if drying results are not satisfactory or decrease if streaks are visible.
Unusual noises can be caused by items touching the spray arms, loose cutlery, or improperly loaded dishes. Check and rearrange items to ensure nothing is obstructing the spray arms.
To reset the dishwasher, press and hold the start button for about 3 seconds until the display shows 0:01. Close the door and wait for the reset process to complete.
Ensure that the rinse aid level is adequate, use the Extra Dry option if available, and ensure that dishes are loaded correctly to allow air circulation. Using the Auto or Intensive cycle can also improve drying results.
Use dishwasher salt to soften water, ensure the water hardness setting is correct, and run a descaling cycle periodically to prevent limescale deposits.
