4. Preparing the Machine for Use

4.1. Preparing your dishwasher for first use

• Make sure the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated in the installation instructions for the machine.
• Remove all packaging material inside the machine.
• Set the water softener level.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment.

4.2 Salt Usage (IF AVAILABLE)

For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, white lime residues will remain on the dishes and the interior equipment. This will negatively affect your machine's washing, drying, and shining performance. When water flows through the softener system, the ions forming the hardness are removed from the water, and the water reaches the softness required to obtain the best washing result. Depending on the level of hardness of the inflowing water, these ions that harden the water accumulate rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore, the softener system has to be refreshed so that it operates with the same performance also during the next wash. For this purpose, dishwasher salt is used.

The machine can only be used by special dishwasher salt to soften the water. Do not use any small-grained or powdered type of salts which can easily dissolve. Using any other type of salt can damage your machine.

4.3 Fill the Salt (IF AVAILABLE)

Diagram Description: Four illustrations show the steps for filling the salt compartment: 1. Opening the cap by turning counter-clockwise. 2. The open compartment. 3. Filling with water. 4. Using a funnel to add salt.

• To add softener salt, open the salt compartment cap by turning it counter-clockwise (1) (2).
• At first use, fill the compartment with 1 kg salt and water (3) until it is almost overflowing. If available, using a funnel (4) will make filling easier.
• Replace the cap and close it.
• After every 20-30 cycles, add salt into your machine until it fills up (approx. 1 kg).

Important Notes:

• Only add water to the salt compartment on first use.
• Use softener salt specifically produced for use in dishwashers.
• When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment is filled with water, therefore put the softener salt in prior to starting your machine.
• If the softener salt has overflowed and you do not start the machine immediately, run a short washing program to protect your machine against corrosion.

4.4 Test Strip

Diagram Description: A sequence of illustrations demonstrates the use of a water hardness test strip: running water into a cup for 1 minute, dipping the strip for 1 second, shaking the strip, waiting for 1 minute, and then comparing the resulting color to a hardness level scale (1-6).

NOTE: The level is set to 3 as default. If the water is well water or has a hardness level above 90 dF, it is recommended to use filter and refinement devices.

4.5 Water Hardness Table

4.6 Water Softener System

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. To find out the hardness level of your tap water, contact your water company or use the test strip (if available).

4.7 Setting

• Turn on the machine by pressing the On/Off button.
• Press the Program button for at least 3 seconds immediately after the machine is turned on.
• Release the Program button when “SL” is shown. Next, the last setting level is displayed.
• Press the program button to set the desired level. Each press of the program button increases the level. Once level 6 has been reached, the next press returns the level to 1.
• The last selected water hardness level is stored in the memory by turning the machine off with the On/Off button.

4.8. Detergent Usage

Only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children.

Add the proper detergent for the selected program to ensure the best performance. The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes.

Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise, you can see whitish streaks or bluish layers on glass and dishes and may cause glass corrosion. Continued use of too much detergent may cause machine damage. Using little detergent can result in poor cleaning and you can see whitish streaks in hard water.

See the detergent manufacturer's instructions for further information.

4.9 Filling the Detergent

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the detergent dispenser with a latch. It depicts pushing the latch to open and pour detergent, then closing the lid until it locks.

• Push the latch to open the dispenser and pour in the detergent.
• Close the lid and press it until it locks in place.
• The dispenser should be refilled just before the start of each programme.
• If the dishes are heavily soiled, place additional detergent in the pre-wash detergent chamber.

4.10 Using Combined Detergents

These products should be used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never put combined detergents into the interior section or the cutlery basket.

Combined detergents contain not only the detergent but also rinse-aid, salt replacement substances, and additional components depending on the combination.

Daewoo recommends not using combined detergents in short programmes; powder detergents are preferred instead. If you encounter problems when using combined detergents, please contact the detergent manufacturer.

When you stop using combined detergents, make sure that water hardness and rinse aid settings are set to the correct level.

4.11 Rinse-aid Usage

The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. Rinse-aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. The rinse aid is automatically released during the hot rinse phase. If the rinse aid dosage setting is too low, whitish stains remain on dishes, and dishes do not dry and are not washed clean. If the rinse aid dosage setting is too high, you can see bluish layers on glass and dishes.

4.12 Filling the Rinse-aid and Setting

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the rinse aid compartment, indicating how to open the cap and fill it to the MAX level.

• To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the rinse-aid compartment cap.
• Fill the compartment with rinse aid to the MAX level and then close the cap. Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills.

To change the rinse aid level:

• Push the program button and hold it down.
• Turn the machine on.
• Hold down the program button until "rA" disappears from the display. Rinse aid setting follows water hardness setting.
• The machine will display the last setting.
• Set the level by pushing the program button.
• Switch off the machine to save the setting.

The factory setting is “4”.

If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes, decrease the level.

5. Loading Your Dishwasher

For best results, follow these loading guidelines. Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings.

Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended.

You can place cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc. in the upper basket. Do not lean long glasses against one another as they cannot remain steady and may receive damage. When placing long stem glasses and goblets, lean them against the basket edge or rack and not against other items.

Place all containers such as cups, glasses, and pots into the dishwasher with the opening facing downwards; otherwise, water can collect on items.

If there is a cutlery basket in the machine, it is recommended to use the cutlery grid for the best result. Place all large items (pots, pans, lids, plates, bowls, etc.) and very dirty items in the lower rack.

Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above each other.

⚠️ Take care not to obstruct the rotation of spray arms.

⚠️ Make sure after loading the dishes, you do not prevent the opening of the detergent dispenser.

5.1. Recommendations

• Remove any coarse residue on dishes before placing the dishes in the machine.
• Start the machine with a full load.
• Do not overload the drawers or place dishes in the wrong basket.
• ⚠️? To avoid any possible injuries, place long-handled and sharp-pointed knives with their sharp points facing down or horizontally on the baskets.

5.2. Height Adjustable Rack (peg type)

The height adjustable racks enable glasses and cups to be placed on or under the racks. The racks can be adjusted to 2 different heights. Cutlery and utensils can also be placed on the racks horizontally.

Diagram Description: Illustrations show the upper basket with adjustment pegs, demonstrating how to lift or lower the basket to adjust its height.

Height Adjustment: The upper basket includes a mechanism which enables the height of the basket to be adjusted up (1) or down (2) without having to remove the basket. Hold the basket on both sides and pull it up or push it down, ensuring both sides of the upper basket are in the same position.

7) Upper Cutlery Basket

The upper cutlery basket is designed for the placement of large and small cutlery and utensils.

⚠️? Knives and other sharp objects must be placed horizontally in the cutlery basket.

5.2. Alternative Basket Loads

Diagram Description: Illustrations show examples of correctly loaded lower and upper baskets, as well as examples of incorrectly loaded baskets marked with a red cross.

Lower Basket: Examples of correctly loaded lower baskets with plates, bowls, and cutlery.

Top Basket: Examples of correctly loaded upper baskets with cups and glasses.

Incorrect Loads: Examples of improperly loaded baskets, showing items that are too large or placed in a way that obstructs washing.

6. Programme Table

Diagram Description: A table detailing various wash programs (P1 to P6) with their names (Prewash, Quick 30', Eco, Super 50', Intensive, Hygiene), suitability for different types of soil, recommended detergent amount, program duration, electricity consumption per cycle, and water consumption per cycle.

• The program duration may change according to the amount of dishes, the water temperature, the ambient temperature, and selected additional functions.
• Values given for programs other than the eco program are indicative only.
• The Eco programme is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware; for this use, it is the most efficient programme in terms of its combined energy and water consumption, and it is used to assess compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.
• Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water in the use phase than hand dishwashing when the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Only use powder detergent for short programs.
• Short programs do not include drying.
• To assist drying, it is recommended to slightly open the door after a cycle is complete.
• You can access the product database where the model information is stored by reading the QR code on the energy label.

NOTE: According to regulations 1016/2010 and 1059/2010, Eco program energy consumption values may differ. This table is in line with regulations 2019/2022 and 2017/2022.
