  Several factors can cause your dishes to come out not clean enough from your Fagor Dishwasher. The water pressure might be temporarily low; try using the dishwasher when the pressure is normal. Make sure that the dishwasher is connected to hot water and avoid using it when hot water is being used elsewhere in the house. Ensure the dishes are arranged properly, not too close together, and that you're using the correct amount and type of detergent. Select a more intensive wash programme if needed and check that the spray arm rotates freely.

Usage Features

The dishwasher is designed for user-friendly operation, with a straightforward setup and usage process:

Turning On: Open the appliance door and press the on/off button.
Dispensing Detergent: Press the latch to open the detergent dispenser and add the required amount of detergent.
Checking Special Salt Level: Add special salt to the dispenser when the corresponding indicator on the control panel illuminates.
Loading Dishes: Remove food leftovers from dishes before loading. Place dishes in the baskets according to loading guidelines, with a recommendation to load the lower basket first, then the upper basket. The appliance includes a cutlery basket, upper basket, and lower basket for organized loading.
Selecting Wash Program: Press the program button for more than three seconds until the new program indicator lights up.
Starting Dishwasher: Open the dishwasher door, and the wash program will start.
Turning Off: Press the On/Off button to turn off the appliance.
Removing Dishes: After the dishwasher is off, open the door and wait approximately 15 minutes before removing dishes. This waiting period facilitates the drying process and reduces the risk of hot dishes cracking.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of the dishwasher:

Filter Assembly: The appliance includes a main filter, which should be regularly checked and cleaned to prevent blockages and maintain washing efficiency.
Salt Container: The salt container needs to be refilled when the special salt level indicator comes on, ensuring proper water softening for effective cleaning and preventing limescale buildup.
Detergent Dispenser: The detergent dispenser should be kept clean to ensure proper release of detergent during cycles.
Spray Arms: The spray arms, including the bottom spray arm and upper spray arm, should be checked periodically for any blockages or debris that might impede water distribution.
Water Supply and Drain Hoses: Ensure that the water supply hose connection and water drain hose are free from kinks or blockages.
Regulator: The regulator, though not explicitly detailed for user maintenance, is an internal component that contributes to the appliance's overall function.

The guide emphasizes the importance of removing packaging and properly setting up the dishwasher before its first use. It also notes that figures in the manual are for illustrative purposes, and individual models may vary.
