Siemens iQ500 SN25ZW49CE Instruction Manual

To start a wash cycle, load your dishes, add detergent to the dispenser, close the door, select the desired wash program using the control panel, and press the Start button.
First, ensure that the dishwasher is properly plugged in and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Check that the door is fully closed and latched. Also, ensure that the water supply is turned on.
Remove the bottom rack to access the filter. Turn the filter counterclockwise and lift it out. Rinse it under running water and use a soft brush to remove debris. Reinstall by placing it back and turning clockwise to lock.
Ensure you are using a rinse aid, as it helps with drying. Check that the selected program includes a drying phase, and ensure that the dishwasher is not overloaded, which can prevent proper drying.
Error code E24 typically indicates a drainage problem. Check that the drain hose is not kinked or blocked, and make sure the filter and pump cover are clean and free from debris.
It is recommended to clean the spray arms every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage. Remove them and rinse under running water, using a toothpick to clear any clogged holes.
No, you should not use regular dish soap as it can produce excessive suds and cause overflow. Always use dishwasher-specific detergents.
To adjust the water softener, press and hold the start button until the display lights up. Navigate to the water hardness setting using the program selector, then adjust according to your local water hardness level.
Regularly clean the filter, spray arms, and door seals. Check and refill rinse aid and salt as needed. Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner once a month to prevent buildup.
White residue is often caused by hard water. Ensure that the salt compartment is filled and the water softener is set correctly. Use a rinse aid to help reduce residue.
