This document describes the IKEA FINPUTSAD dishwasher, providing instructions for its safe use, operation, loading, and maintenance.
The IKEA FINPUTSAD is an automatic dishwasher designed for domestic use. Its primary function is to wash and dry dishes using specialized dishwasher detergents, rinse aid, and refined salt. The appliance features a water softener system to prevent limescale buildup on internal components and improve cleaning efficiency. It offers various wash programs tailored to different soil levels and types of crockery, including Eco, Auto, Intensive, Fast Wash 30', Fast Wash and Dry, Glass, Silent, Sanitizing, Pre-Wash, and Self-Clean. The dishwasher also incorporates a NaturalDry system, which automatically opens the door during or after the drying phase to enhance drying performance. An operation indicator, projected as an LED light on the floor, signals the dishwasher's working status.
The dishwasher is equipped with a control panel for selecting programs and options. To begin, users must check the water connection, switch on the dishwasher, load the racks, and fill the detergent dispenser. Programs are selected based on crockery type and soil level, with additional options available to customize the cycle. The wash cycle starts by pressing the START/Pause button and closing the door within 4 seconds. The end of a wash cycle is indicated by beeps and a flashing cycle number on the display.
Loading the Racks: The dishwasher features an upper rack, a lower rack, and a cutlery rack. Dishes should be arranged to ensure stability and allow water to reach all surfaces. Heavily soiled items are best placed in the lower basket for stronger spray. Small items go in the cutlery basket, with sharp-pointed utensils placed downwards. The upper rack has tip-up supports for various items and an adjuster to change its height, accommodating bulky crockery in the lower basket. Foldable flaps on the upper rack optimize crockery arrangement, allowing wine glasses to be securely placed.
Detergent, Rinse Aid, and Salt: The appliance requires specific dishwasher salt to prevent limescale. The salt reservoir, located in the lower part of the dishwasher, should be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light illuminates. Water hardness must be set according to local water supply information to ensure the water softener functions effectively. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light is lit, as rinse aid aids in drying. The dosage of rinse aid can be adjusted to prevent streaks or water marks. Detergent should be added to the dry dispenser, with the amount adjusted based on soil level. For all-in-one detergents, the TABLET button can be used to optimize the program.
Program Customization: The FINPUTSAD offers several options to customize wash cycles:
Safety and Energy Saving: The dishwasher is designed with safety in mind, including warnings about detergent handling, loading sharp utensils, and proper installation. It automatically switches off during extended periods of inactivity to minimize electricity consumption. Users are advised to load the dishwasher fully to maximize efficiency and avoid manual pre-rinsing, which increases water and energy consumption.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the dishwasher's optimal performance and longevity.
General Cleaning:
Filter Assembly: The filter assembly, consisting of three filters, should be checked and cleaned at least once a month or after every 30 cycles. This involves removing the cylindrical filter, cup filter, and stainless-steel plate filter, cleaning them under running water with a non-metallic brush, and removing any foreign objects. The wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) should never be removed. After cleaning, the filters must be correctly reassembled.
Spray Arms: Food residue can encrust the spray arms and block the holes. Users should periodically check and clean the spray arms with a small non-metallic brush. The upper spray arm can be removed by turning a plastic locking ring counter-clockwise, and the lower spray arm by pulling it upwards.
Water Supply Hose: The inlet hose should be regularly checked for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, it must be replaced with a new hose from an authorized service provider. For water stop hoses, the small safety valve inspection window should be checked; if red, the hose needs replacement. Before connecting new water hoses or after extended periods of inactivity, allow water to run until clear to prevent impurities from blocking the inlet and damaging the dishwasher.
Troubleshooting: The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues such as the salt or rinse aid indicator lights being on, the dishwasher not starting or draining, excessive noise, or dishes not being clean. Solutions range from refilling reservoirs and checking connections to cleaning filters and adjusting program settings. If problems persist, users are advised to contact authorized After-Sales Service.
