Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Food Remnants on Dishware**
This can occur if dishware is placed too closely together or if the rack is overfilled, preventing the spray jets from reaching the surfaces. It could also be due to blocked spray arm nozzles or dirty filters -
**Dishware Not Drying**
Poor drying performance might stem from not using rinse aid or setting the dosage too low. The cycle may not include a drying phase, or items may be removed before completing the drying process -
**Detergent Residue in Dispenser**
If dishes block the detergent dispenser lid, it may not open fully, leaving detergent behind. Using some detergents might also cause excessive foaming if they're outdated or stored improperly -
**Water Left in the Appliance**
At the end of a program, water might remain due to a blocked filter system or drain pump. It's also possible that the program has not yet completed -
**Dishwasher Will Not Start**
This can be caused by the appliance door not being properly closed, a tripped breaker, or issues with power supply connections

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the Normal program whenever possible, as it is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
- Utilize the AquaSensor feature, which adapts the water usage based on the soil level, reducing water and energy consumption.
- Avoid pre-rinsing dishes, simply scrape off food remnants. Modern dishwashers are designed to handle dirty dishes without pre-rinsing, saving water and energy.
- Load the dishwasher to its full capacity but ensure that dishes do not block the spray arms, optimizing both energy and water use.
- Utilize the Eco setting if available, which extends run time but significantly reduces water and energy usage.
- Do not use the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place. Operating the appliance without these panels may result in electric shock.
- Do not expose the appliance to intense heat or humidity, as this could increase the risk of electric shock .
- Hydrogen gas, which is explosive, may be produced in hot water systems not used for two weeks or more. Before using the dishwasher in such cases, open all hot water faucets and let water flow for several minutes to release the gas.
- Never allow children to play in or on the dishwasher, and ensure they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons when they become old enough to operate the appliance.
- Grounding is essential to prevent electric shock. The dishwasher must be properly grounded, and improper connection of the grounding conductor can result in a considerable risk.
