How Much Detergent You Should Use; Using A Rinse Agent; The Pre-Wash Program; Using Intensive Wash - Danby DDW497W Manual Del Usuario

How Much Detergent You Should Use

That depends if your water is 'hard' or 'soft':
Hard water requires more detergent to get dishes
clean; soft water requires less.
• The recessed detergent area located on the inside
door panel will hold approximately 20 grams of
detergent.

Using a Rinse Agent

You can help prevent unsightly spots on dishes and
glassware and reduce drying time by using a rinse
agent. A rinse agent is specially formulated to rinse
away food and detergent residues that can be left
behind on your dishes. Used regularly, a rinse agent will
automatically provide you with cleaner dishes every
time you wash.
• To fill the rinse agent dispenser: unscrew the
dispenser cap located on the inner door. Add the
rinse agent slowly into the container until it just
reaches the bottom of the filling cap inside the
dispenser opening. Replace the cap. The dispenser
automatically releases the rinse agent into the final
rinse water at the end of the wash cycle. The
dispenser holds approximately 125 ml (4.2 fl. oz.) of
rinse agent.
The Pre-wash Program (P5)
The Pre-wash is a convenience program that allows
dishes to be rinsed if you don't have a full load ready to
be washed (preventing foods from becoming dried or
caked on to dish surfaces). It is not necessary to add
detergent to the dishwasher during the Pre-wash cycle;
however, due to the short duration of the Pre-wash
cycle (6 minutes only), make sure the incoming water
supply is hot. Open the hot water faucet and run till hot
before connecting the dishwasher.
IMPORTANT
Your dishwasher is not a "garburator"; clean off large
particles of food sediments before placing dishes in the
dishwasher.
Using Intensive Wash (P1)
The Intensive wash feature gives you the option of
washing/drying dishes at very high water temperatures.
When activated, the intensive wash feature energizes a
heating element that will raise and maintain the internal
water temperature of the dishwasher at 69ºC (156.2ºF).
CAUTION
Water temperatures this high can cause severe
burns/scalding; therefore, always exercise extreme
care when opening and/or entering the dishwasher
during the Intensive, Economy and Normal wash
cycles, especially during their respective rinse
cycles.
To activate this feature, push the program button until
"P1" (intensive wash) appears in the display window.
• Push the start button and the intensive wash program
activates ("P1" remains in the display window, and
flashes when complete).
IMPORTANT
For the drain system to operate properly the highest
distance between the faucet quick connect and the
base of the dishwasher should not exceed 15 cm (6
inches).
Using Economy Wash (P4)
The economy program gives you the option of washing
dishes at normal incoming water tank temperature,
(usually between 54.4º~ 60ºC / 130º~ 140ºF). When
activated, the economy program 'de-energizes' (by-
passes) the dishwasher's heating element. To activate
the economy program:
• Push the program button on the control panel until
"P4" appears in the display window.
• Push the Start/Reset button and the economy feature
activates ("P4" remains in the display window, and
flashes when complete).
IMPORTANT
Drying time for dishes will be longer after using the
economy program. Dishes are dried by a 'convection'
method only. To speed-up the drying time, it is suggest-
ed that the dishwasher door be left partially open after
program completion. This will allow humidity from within
the dishwasher to escape. Push the door open button,
and the door will pop open to a pre-set convection dry
position.
