This document provides operating instructions for the Gorenje GS54110W/X dishwasher, covering its functions, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
Function Description
The Gorenje GS54110W/X is a dishwasher designed for household use, featuring a range of programs and options to ensure efficient and effective dishwashing. It includes a built-in water softener to handle hard water, an overflow protection system, and indicators for salt and rinse aid levels.
Programs:
The dishwasher offers several programs tailored for different levels of dirtiness and types of dishes:
- Auto wash (45-55°C): This program automatically adjusts water consumption and temperature based on how dirty the dishes are. It requires five initial runs to fully adapt and optimize results.
- Intensive wash (60°C): Ideal for very dirty dishes, such as pans, casserole dishes, and oven dishes, or when high hygiene demands are present (e.g., baby bottles, cutting boards).
- Eco wash (45°C): This is the standard cleaning cycle for normally dirty dishes, optimized for combined energy and water consumption. It's the most effective program for energy labeling information.
- Quick wash (35°C): Suitable for lightly soiled glasses and porcelain, like coffee cups. When combined with SpeedWash, it shortens to 15 minutes.
- Rinse (35°C): Used to rinse dishes while waiting for the dishwasher to be fully loaded.
Extra Options:
- SpeedWash: Shortens the program time but increases energy and water consumption.
- Extra dry: Increases the final rinse temperature to improve drying results, with a slight increase in energy consumption.
- Half load: Adapts the program for a half-filled dishwasher, reducing energy and water usage.
- Delayed start: Allows the user to set a start delay of 1-24 hours.
Indicators and Display:
- Display: Shows remaining program time, "End" when finished, and error messages.
- Refill salt indicator: Lights up when salt needs topping up.
- Refill rinse aid indicator: Lights up when rinse aid needs topping up.

Usage Features
Loading:
The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an upper basket, and a lower basket.
- Top cutlery tray: For cutlery, ladles, whisks, and serving items.
- Upper basket: For glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and saucers. Dirty surfaces should face inwards. Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf. The height of the upper basket is adjustable to accommodate larger items.
- Lower basket: For plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots, and cutlery (in the cutlery basket).
- Foldable tines: Can be folded up or down in the lower basket to facilitate loading pots, bowls, and glasses.
- Cup shelf: Can be folded up or down for better stacking of pots and pans.
- General loading advice: Place dishes so rinse water runs off, especially plastic. Ensure spray arms can rotate freely.
Detergent and Rinse Aid:
- Detergent: Add to the detergent compartment. For heavily soiled dishes, an additional dose can be placed in the pre-wash chamber. Use only dishwasher detergent; washing-up liquid is not suitable.
- Dishwasher tablets: Not recommended for short programs (less than 75 minutes). Halve the tablet if the dispenser lid is tight.
- 3-in-1/All-in-one detergent: This setting can be activated to adapt programs for these products, disabling rinse aid dispensing and reducing salt added to the water softener. Salt compartment must still be filled.
- Rinse aid: Top up in the rinse aid compartment for faster drying and spotless dishes. Dosage can be adjusted from 1 (low) to 6 (high) to prevent water marks or sticky film/streaks.
Water Softener:
- The built-in water softener requires adjustment to the local water hardness (specified in °dH or °fH).
- Fill the salt compartment with large grain or special dishwasher salt. Pour 1 liter of water first, then up to 1.5 kg of salt.
- A dishwashing program must be started immediately after adding salt to avoid rust stains. Never pour detergent into the salt compartment.
Starting and Stopping:
- Main power switch: Press and hold to turn on/off.
- Program selection: Press the program selector until the desired symbol is activated.
- Starting: Close the door to begin the program.
- Adding dishes: Open the door; the dishwasher will pause. Close the door to resume.
- Stopping/changing program: Open the door, press and hold the main power switch until the display turns off. Select a new program and close the door.
- After program ends: "End" appears on the display. The dishwasher switches off automatically. Turn off the water tap.
Maintenance Features
Filter System:
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (main) filter, and a microfilter, designed to prevent food remnants from entering the pump.
- Cleaning: The filter must be cleaned regularly for best performance. Remove larger food particles after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup under running water.
- Removal: Turn the filter counterclockwise and lift the filter assembly up.
- Important: Do not use the dishwasher without filters. Incorrectly fitted filters can affect dishwashing results.
Spray Arms:
- Cleaning: Holes and bearings can become blocked. Remove debris using a pin.
- Removal:
- Lower spray arm: Pull straight up.
- Upper spray arm: Pull out the upper basket, then unscrew the spray arm bearings counterclockwise.
- Ensure spray arms are fitted firmly back into place.
Door:
- Clean the edge around the door with a slightly damp cloth.
Limescale Deposits:
- If hard water causes limescale build-up in the stainless steel tub, run the Intensive wash program with two tablespoons of citric acid in the detergent compartment (without dishes).
Front Panel:
- Keep buttons clean and free from grease. Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Turn off the dishwasher before cleaning buttons to prevent unintentional activation.
Troubleshooting:
The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues, including:
- Display faults (E1, E3, E4): Water inlet fault, not reaching required temperature, overfilling.
- Buttons not reacting: Pressed too soon, dirty, door closed.
