The washing and drying results are not satisfactory

This document serves as a comprehensive user manual for the Dishlex DSF6106W and DSF6106X dishwashers, providing essential information for safe installation, operation, and maintenance. It emphasizes safety for all users, particularly children and vulnerable individuals, and outlines general safety precautions to prevent injuries and damage.

Function Description

The Dishlex dishwasher is designed for household and similar applications, including farmhouses, staff kitchens in shops and offices, and residential settings like hotels and bed & breakfasts. Its primary function is to clean crockery, cutlery, pots, and pans efficiently. The appliance offers various wash programs tailored to different levels of soil and load types, ensuring optimal cleaning and drying results while managing water and energy consumption.

Key operational features include:

Program Selection: Users can choose from multiple wash programs, such as "ECO" for normal soil, a program for heavy soil, a "Quick 30" program for fresh soil and partial loads, and a rinse-only program. Each program is designed with specific phases like prewash, main wash, rinses, and drying.
Rinse Aid Dispenser: The dishwasher automatically releases rinse aid during the hot rinse phase to ensure streak-free and stain-free drying. An indicator light signals when the rinse aid needs refilling.
Detergent Dispenser: The appliance accommodates both standard dishwasher detergent and multi-tablets. For multi-tablets, it is recommended to set the rinse aid dispenser to the lowest position. A separate compartment is available for prewash detergent if the selected program includes this phase.
Half Load Option: This feature allows for washing smaller loads of tableware and cookware, reducing program duration and consumption of water and energy. It is available for specific programs like "ECO" and the heavy soil program.
Program Status Indicators: The control panel includes indicators for the washing phase and program end, providing visual feedback on the appliance's operation.
Reset Function: A reset function is available to cancel a running program and return the appliance to program selection mode.

Usage Features

The manual guides users through the daily operation of the dishwasher, from initial setup to program completion.

Before First Use:

Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Open the water tap.
Start a program without detergent or dishes to remove any manufacturing residuals.

Daily Use:

Water Supply: Ensure the water tap is open.
Program Selection: Select the appropriate program based on the load type and soil level. The appliance must be in program selection mode.
Loading Baskets: Load the dishes into the baskets, ensuring items do not obstruct the spray arms or touch each other. Hollow items should be placed face down. Knives and sharp cutlery should be placed points down in the cutlery basket.
Detergent Addition: Add the correct quantity of detergent to the dispenser. If using multi-tablets, adjust the rinse aid dispenser accordingly.
Starting a Program: Close the door and press the start button.
Opening the Door During Operation: If the door is opened during a program, the appliance pauses and resumes from the point of interruption once the door is closed.
End of Program: At the end of the program, an indicator light comes on. To improve drying results, it is recommended to leave the door ajar for 5-10 minutes before unloading. Allow dishes to cool before removal to prevent damage.

Hints and Tips for Optimal Results:

Scrape off large food residues from dishes; pre-rinsing by hand is not necessary.
Utilize the full capacity of the baskets.
Ensure water from spray arm nozzles can reach all dishes.
Use only dishwasher-safe items. Avoid wood, horn, aluminum, pewter, copper, and water-absorbent materials.
For detergent tablets, use longer programs to ensure full dissolution.
Before starting a program, verify that filters are clean, spray arms are not clogged, rinse aid is present (unless using multi-tablets), items are correctly positioned, and the correct detergent quantity is used.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the dishwasher's performance and longevity. The manual provides clear instructions for cleaning key components.

Cleaning the Filters:

The filter system, consisting of a flat filter (C) and filters (A) and (B), should be checked regularly.
Remove any food residues or soil from the sump edge.
Disassemble and clean the filters.
Reassemble the filters correctly, ensuring the flat filter (C) is positioned under its guides and filter (A) is locked into filter (C) by turning clockwise. Incorrect filter positioning can lead to poor washing results and appliance damage.

Cleaning the Spray Arms:

The spray arms should not be removed.
If the holes in the spray arms become clogged, use a thin pointed object to clear any remaining soil.

External Cleaning:

Clean the appliance's exterior with a moist, soft cloth and neutral detergents. Avoid abrasive products, pads, or solvents.

Internal Cleaning:

Regularly clean the appliance's interior, including the door's rubber gasket, with a soft, moist cloth.
To prevent grease and limescale deposits, especially when frequently using short programs, it is recommended to run a long-duration program at least twice a month.

Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting guide to help users resolve common issues before contacting service. It addresses problems such as the appliance not activating, programs not starting, water not filling or draining, and unsatisfactory washing/drying results. Alarm codes are also explained, with solutions provided for each. For issues not covered, users are advised to contact the service center.

Warranty and Service Information: The document outlines the terms and conditions of the product warranty for customers in Australia and New Zealand, emphasizing the importance of proof of purchase. It provides contact details for service and spare parts in both countries, along with instructions on what information to have ready when making a warranty claim.

Environmental Concerns: Users are encouraged to recycle packaging materials and dispose of the appliance responsibly at local recycling facilities, rather than with household waste, to protect the environment.
