To properly load dishes, ensure that larger items are placed around the sides and back of the drawer, allowing water and detergent to circulate freely. Utensils should be placed in the provided basket with handles facing down.
First, check that the unit is properly plugged in and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Ensure the drawer is fully closed and the control panel is not locked. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for additional troubleshooting steps.
The filter should be cleaned every 3-4 months to maintain optimal performance. Remove the filter from the bottom of the drawer, rinse it under running water, and brush off any food particles.
To remove odors, regularly clean the interior with a mixture of baking soda and water. You can also run an empty cycle with a cup of white vinegar on the top rack to help neutralize odors.
Ensure that the Rinse Aid dispenser is filled, as this helps improve drying performance. Also, check that the selected cycle includes a drying phase and avoid overcrowding the drawer, which can impede airflow.
To reset the drawer, turn off the power at the circuit breaker for at least 5 minutes. Then, turn the power back on and restart the dishwasher by selecting the desired cycle.
Common error codes include E1 (water intake problem), E2 (drainage issue), and E3 (temperature sensor fault). Refer to the user manual for detailed troubleshooting steps for each code.
