To ensure optimal cleaning, place large items like pots and pans on the bottom rack, facing downwards. Use the top rack for smaller items like cups and glasses, and ensure they are placed securely to avoid tipping. Avoid blocking the spray arms and do not overload the racks to allow water to circulate freely.
First, check the filter and drain hose for any blockages. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked and is installed at the correct height. Clean the filter regularly to prevent clogging. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact customer service for further assistance.
To clean the interior, run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or white vinegar. Wipe down the door seals and the inside of the door with a damp cloth. Regularly clean the spray arms and filters to maintain efficiency.
White residue is usually caused by hard water. To prevent it, use a rinse aid and ensure that the water softener setting is correctly adjusted for your water hardness. Regularly check and refill the salt compartment if your model has one.
To reset the dishwasher, turn it off and unplug it from the power source for about 10 minutes. Plug it back in and turn it on. If the error code persists, consult the user manual for specific error code troubleshooting or contact customer service.
Regularly check and clean the filter and spray arms monthly. Wipe the door seals and interior surfaces weekly. Use a dishwasher cleaner every few months to remove limescale and grease build-up. Check and refill rinse aid and salt levels as needed.
Refer to the user manual to locate the water hardness setting on the control panel. Adjust the setting based on your local water hardness level, which can be determined by using water hardness test strips or contacting your water supplier.
Ensure the dishwasher is securely plugged into a functioning power outlet. Check that the door is fully closed and latched. Verify that the water supply is turned on. If the problem persists, check for any error codes or consult the user manual for troubleshooting tips.
To improve drying performance, use a rinse aid to reduce water spots and enhance drying. Select a cycle with a drying phase, and ensure that the 'Extra Dry' option is activated if available. Allow dishes to cool slightly before unloading to prevent condensation on them.
Common causes of noise include items touching the spray arms, loose items rattling inside, or the dishwasher being unlevel. Check and rearrange the load if necessary, and ensure the dishwasher is level and stable. If noise persists, check for debris in the spray arms and clean them.
