This document provides a comprehensive guide for operating and maintaining your Whirlpool dishwasher, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. It covers everything from initial setup and program selection to loading instructions, daily checks, and troubleshooting.

Function Description

The Whirlpool dishwasher is designed to efficiently clean various types of crockery and cutlery. It offers a range of programs tailored to different levels of soiling and specific needs, such as energy saving or intensive cleaning for heavily soiled items. The appliance features intuitive controls, including an ON button, a PROGRAMME SELECTION button (P), an OFF button, and a START button. The START button also serves as a RESET function, allowing you to cancel selected programs or clear fault displays. Indicators on the control panel provide feedback on the appliance's status, such as when a program is running, when a fault occurs, or when salt or rinse aid needs to be added.

Usage Features

Initial Setup: Before the first use, it is crucial to set the detergent type (powder/gel/tablet) and water hardness. For detergent type, select the 3rd program, press the START button for 7 seconds, and then adjust the setting using the START button according to the provided table. For water hardness, select the 2nd program, press the START button for at least 5 seconds until the indicator flashes, and then adjust the setting based on your local water supply company's information. Remember to switch the appliance off and on again to save these settings.

Filling the Salt Reservoir: The salt reservoir should be filled with water before the first wash only. Add salt (never detergent) up to 2 kg. The salt indicator on the control panel will light up when salt needs to be added. Note that if your water hardness level is set to "soft," salt may not be required.

Adding Rinse Aid: The rinse aid dispenser should be filled to the maximum line (approximately 150 ml). The rinse aid dosage can be adjusted using a regulator, with position 4 being the factory setting. Lower settings dispense less rinse aid, while higher settings dispense more. Adjust as needed to prevent streaks or ensure crockery is perfectly dry. The rinse aid indicator will light up when it needs to be refilled. Only use rinse aids recommended for domestic dishwashers and wipe away any spills.

Adding Detergent: Always fill the detergent dispenser just before starting a wash program. If using tablets, place only one tablet per cycle in the dispenser. For 2-in-1 tablets, adding salt is still mandatory.

Loading the Racks:

Upper Rack: This rack is designed for cups, glasses, and long utensils. It may feature multipurpose supports and adjustable flaps for versatile loading. Some models also allow for a cutlery basket or adjustable glass holders in the upper rack. The upper rack height can be adjusted to create more space in either the upper or lower rack. It can also be removed for loading bulky items in the lower rack.
Lower Rack: This rack is suitable for pots, pans, plates, and bowls. It may have foldable plate holders for accommodating larger items and a cutlery basket (or J model) with a grid to keep cutlery separate.
General Loading Tips: Arrange crockery so that water does not collect in cavities and the spray arms can rotate freely. Only use dishwasher-proof items. Avoid washing wooden items, aluminum, tin, silver cutlery, or unglazed decorated crockery.

Program Selection and Wash Cycle:

Refer to the "Table of programmes" to choose the appropriate program based on the level of soiling and desired outcome.
Ensure the dishwasher door is closed and the water tap is open before starting a program.
When opening the door during a cycle, exercise caution as hot steam may escape.
The wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the START button. To change a program in progress, press the START button for 2 seconds until the indicator lamp switches off, close the door, wait for water to drain (up to 60 seconds), open the door, select a new program, and press START.
After the program finishes and the START indicator lamp switches off, press the OFF button. Unload the appliance, starting from the lower rack to prevent water drips onto clean crockery.

Maintenance Features

Filters: Regularly check and clean the filters to ensure optimal performance. Unscrew the filter cylinder, remove it and the fine sieve, rinse them under running water, and then reinsert and screw the filter cylinder back tightly, aligning the mark.

Spray Arms: Remove blockages or deposits from the spray arms. Unscrew and remove both the lower and upper spray arms. Clean the spray nozzles under running water, using toothpicks if necessary. Reinsert and screw both arms back tightly.

Troubleshooting: The manual provides a detailed "What to do if..." section to help diagnose and resolve common issues. This includes solutions for problems like the appliance not starting, error codes (F1, F4, F6, F7, F8), crockery not being perfectly clean, salt indicator remaining lit, crockery not drying, discolored plastic parts, opaque glasses, and other marks or streaks. In most cases, resetting the appliance by pressing the START button for approximately 2 seconds will clear fault messages. If a fault persists after following the troubleshooting steps, disconnect the mains plug, turn off the water tap, and contact After-sales Service.

Precautions and General Recommendations:

The packaging materials are recyclable.
Ensure the dishwasher is undamaged after unpacking.
The appliance operates between 5°C and 45°C.
Do not rinse crockery under running water; always fully load the dishwasher or use the "Half load/Multizone" option.
The appliance can be connected to hot water mains up to 60°C if ecological energy sources are available.
Keep packaging materials, detergent, rinse aid, and salt out of reach of children.
Do not operate the appliance in the open air or store flammable materials near it.
The water in the dishwasher is not potable.
Do not use solvents inside the dishwasher.
Be careful when the door is open to avoid tripping.
Do not rest objects on the open door or sit/stand on it.
Place sharp items in the cutlery basket with the sharp end facing downwards.
If the appliance is exposed to frost, drain it completely and ensure there is at least 1 kg of dissolved regeneration salt in the reservoir.
Dispose of the appliance in compliance with local waste disposal regulations, cutting off the power cord and breaking the door lock to prevent potential danger to children.
