DeLonghi DDW45S20 Instruction Manual

To start a wash cycle, load the dishwasher, add detergent, select the desired cycle using the control panel, and press the start button. Ensure the door is securely closed.
Check if the drain hose is kinked or clogged. Also, inspect the filter for debris and clean it if necessary. Ensure the kitchen sink drain is not blocked.
To clean the filter, remove the lower rack, twist the filter counterclockwise, and lift it out. Rinse it under running water to remove food particles and debris. Reassemble the filter by placing it back and twisting it clockwise until secure.
Ensure that the door is fully closed and latched. Check the circuit breaker and the power outlet. Verify that the control panel is not set to delay start mode.
Regularly clean the filter and spray arms, check and clean the door gasket, and run a cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaner monthly to prevent buildup.
Refer to your manual to access the settings mode. Use the control panel to navigate to the water hardness setting and adjust it according to your local water hardness level.
Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely and are not blocked. Verify that you are using the correct amount and type of detergent. Check the water temperature and make sure it is hot enough.
To reset the dishwasher, press and hold the start/reset button for a few seconds until the control panel lights blink. Release the button and wait for the dishwasher to reset.
Error codes can indicate various issues. Refer to the user manual for a list of error codes and their meanings. Common codes include issues with water intake, drainage, or door closure.
Regularly clean the filter and run an empty cycle with a cup of vinegar on the top rack. Ensure the dishwasher is not left closed for long periods with dirty dishes inside.
