Overview

This document provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of a Haier Domestic Dishwasher, model WQP12-AFM. It emphasizes safety precautions, proper loading techniques, and effective cleaning procedures to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the appliance.

Function Description

The Haier WQP12-AFM is a domestic dishwasher designed for washing household dishes and cooking utensils. It features a specialized softener that uses salt to eliminate lime and minerals from hard water, preventing deposits on dishes. The appliance offers various wash cycles tailored to different levels of dirtiness and types of dishware, including options for normal wash, light wash, glassware, and a rapid cycle. It also incorporates a rinse aid dispenser to enhance drying and prevent spotting, and a detergent dispenser for efficient cleaning. The dishwasher is equipped with an anti-flooding protection system to prevent water damage in case of leaks or supply hose issues.

Usage Features

Installation: The dishwasher should be positioned in its desired location, with the back against a wall and sides against adjacent cabinets or walls. It is equipped with adjustable feet for leveling, ensuring proper performance. The water supply hose can be connected to either a cold or hot water line (not exceeding 60°C), with specific instructions to flush new or unused pipes to prevent impurities from blocking the inlet. The drain hose must be inserted into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 4cm or run into a sink, ensuring it is not bent or crimped and is securely fastened at a height between 40 and 100 cm. Electrical connection requires a properly earthed socket that matches the appliance's voltage and frequency, and adapters should be avoided.

Loading the Dishwasher: Before loading, large food particles should be removed from dishes to prevent filter clogging. For baked-on food, pre-soaking is recommended. The lower rack is ideal for difficult-to-clean items like pots, lids, serving dishes, and bowls, placed top-down and slanted for water drainage. The silverware basket can be used as a single section for light loads or doubled, with handles at the bottom. The upper rack is designed for delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, cups, saucers, and small bowls. Dishes should be positioned to avoid movement during the wash cycle and to prevent blocking the spray arms. The upper rack's height can be adjusted using side knobs.

Starting a Wash Cycle: Ensure the plug is inserted, water supply is on, and the dishwasher is loaded with detergent and salt. Turn the knob on the control panel to select the desired cycle, aligning it with the reference mark. Press the ON-OFF button to start the cycle. If dishes are forgotten, the cycle can be interrupted by pressing the ON-OFF button, additional dishes loaded, and the appliance restarted. At the end of the cycle, when the knob aligns with the STOP mark, turn off the appliance, water supply, and open the door. It is advisable to wait a few minutes before unloading to prevent breakage and allow better drying.

Cancelling or Modifying a Wash Cycle: A cycle can be modified if it has been running for a short time. If detergent has already been used, it must be refilled. Press the ON-OFF button, rotate the knob to the new cycle setting, and restart the appliance.

Control Panel Buttons:

  • ON-OFF Button: Turns the appliance on or off.
  • ON-OFF Light: Indicates if the appliance is on.
  • Low Salt Indicator Light: Illuminates when the salt container needs refilling.
  • Low Rinse Aid Indicator Light: Illuminates when the rinse aid dispenser needs refilling.
  • Knob for Selecting Cycle: Used to choose the desired wash program.
  • Handle for Opening Door: Self-explanatory.
  • "Eco" Button (G): Used for normally dirty dishes, pots, and pans; a standard daily cycle. Can be used before setting any wash cycle except intensive cycles, with reduced detergent.
  • "HALF LOAD" Button (H): Allows washing dishes using only the upper rack, saving water and energy.
  • "RAPID" Button (I): When pressed with wash cycle 4 (glassware), it runs the cycle at a lower temperature (50°C) and eliminates the drying phase.

Detergent and Rinse Aid: Only dishwasher-specific detergent should be used. To load, press the "B" button to open the "A" cover, pour detergent into the "C" compartment, and close the cover until it clicks. The rinse aid dispenser, located on the inside panel of the door, should be refilled every 80 wash cycles or when the indicator light comes on. To load, turn the "C" cap anti-clockwise, pour in rinse aid without overfilling, and adjust the dosage (1-6 settings, normal is 3) using a screwdriver if needed. Proper dosage improves drying; adjust higher for water drops/spotting, lower for white streaks.

Salt Loading and Adjustment: The salt container, located beneath the lower rack, should be filled with dishwasher-specific salt when the "low salt" indicator light illuminates. Remove the lower rack, unscrew the cap, fill with water (first time only), add about 2 kg of salt using the funnel, and screw the cap back on. Salt consumption can be adjusted based on water hardness by rotating a ring on the container from "-" to "+" settings, following the provided water hardness scheme.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning and Special Maintenance:

  • Filter Assembly: For optimal performance, the filter assembly must be cleaned regularly. After each wash cycle, remove large food particles from the "A" semi-circular filter and cup by rinsing under running water. The entire assembly (including the "B" fine filter) should be cleaned at least monthly with a brush. Reassemble and reinsert the filters correctly. Never use the dishwasher without filters.
  • Spray Arms: Periodically check and clean the spray arms for encrusted food particles that may block the holes.
  • Exterior and Rubber Parts: Clean with a cloth and warm soapy water; avoid solvents or abrasive cleaning products.
  • Interior Surface: Remove spots or stains with a cloth dampened with water and white vinegar, or a dishwasher-specific cleaning product.
  • Seals: Clean periodically with a sponge to prevent food residue from causing odors.

Troubleshooting: The manual provides a checklist for common issues:

  • Dishwasher Does Not Start: Check plug, power, door closure, ON-OFF switch, and water supply.
  • Dishwasher Does Not Load Water: Check water supply, hose connection, water pressure, and for crimped/bent hoses or clogged filters.
  • Dishes Are Not Clean: Check water supply, hose connection, water pressure, and for crimped/bent hoses or clogged filters.
  • Dishwasher Does Not Drain: Check for crimped or bent drain hose.
  • Lime Deposits or White Film: Check salt container cap and rinse aid dosage. If problems persist after these checks, contact an authorized service center with the appliance's model and serial number. Do not use unauthorized technicians or non-original spare parts.

Keeping Your Dishwasher in Shape:

  • After Every Wash: Turn off the water supply and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent moisture and odors.
  • Remove the Plug: Always unplug before cleaning or maintenance.
  • Moving the Appliance: Keep the appliance in a vertical position; if absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
  • When on Holiday: Run an empty wash cycle, unplug, turn off water supply, and leave the door slightly ajar to preserve seals and prevent odors.

Energy Saving Tips:

  • Run the dishwasher when fully loaded.
  • Use the appropriate wash cycle for the type and dirtiness of dishes.
  • Use the correct amount of detergent; excessive use does not improve cleaning and negatively impacts the environment.
  • Do not pre-rinse dishes, cookware, or utensils before loading.
