gorenje GV673A61 Dishwasher Overview

Summary of Contents

• Page 1: User manual Dishwasher GV673A61
• Page 2: Your dishwasher Safety instructions Installation Before washing for the first time Water hardness Basic settings Greener dishwashing Loading the dishwasher Using the dishwasher Program chart
• Page 3: Safety instructions Read the user manual and keep it in a safe place. Number of standard place settings: 16. Never use the dishwasher for any purpose other than that specified in these operating instructions. Do not load the dishwasher door or dishwasher baskets with anything other than dishes. Use only dishwasher detergent. This machine can be used by children aged 8 and upwards, and by people with reduced physical capacity, mental ability, memory loss or lacking experience and knowledge. Damaged supply cord must only be replaced by the manufacturer's service centre or someone similarly professionally qualified. Only use the dishwasher in household-type environments for dishwashing household dishes. Never place dishes with solvent residues in the dishwasher due to the risk of explosion. Knives and other pointed items must be placed horizontally in the dishwasher's special cutlery baskets.
• Page 4: WARNING! Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent is corrosive. The overflow guard starts pumping out the water and turns off the water supply if the water level in the dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If the overflow guard is triggered, F54 (Overfilling water) appears on the display. The outer packaging protects the product during transport and is recyclable. Separate the different packaging materials to help reduce raw material use and waste. The packaging is comprised of corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recycled material, expanded polystyrene (EPS) with no added chlorine or fluorine, supports made from untreated wood, and protective plastic made from polyethylene (PE). The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling. When the dishwasher has reached the end of its service life, it should immediately be made unusable. Contact your local authority for information about where and how your dishwasher should be correctly recycled. Read the user manual and recycle as electrical waste.
• Page 5: Before washing for the first time Water hardness To achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher. Water hardness is specified using German, French, English degrees of hardness or millimoles per litre. A water supply with hardness in excess of 5°dH must be softened. The built-in water softener must be adjusted to the hardness of the water supply. Once adjusted, add detergent and rinse aid suitable for soft water. If water hardness exceeds 50°dH, connecting an external water softener is recommended. Regeneration of the water softener extends the dishwashing program and increases consumption. It is important to select the right setting for the water softener to avoid hard water issues.
• Page 6: Basic settings The first time the dishwasher is switched on, it is important that you choose the right settings to ensure good dishwashing results. Set up: - Rinse aid - Water hardness - TAB (All-in-one detergent) Top up with rinse aid Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with clear and spotless dishes. Top up with salt For a water supply with a hardness above 5 °dH, fill with salt. Add salt to the salt compartment if you have selected Water hardness 4:01 - 4:09. WARNING! In order to avoid rust stains, a dishwashing program must be started immediately after adding salt.
• Page 7: Greener dishwashing Save energy and water when using a dishwasher in a residential setting. Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water consumption. Choose a green detergent and read the environmental declaration on the packaging. Run a fully loaded dishwasher to save energy and water. Select dishwashing program – Eco 55°, suitable for washing normally soiled dishes. The dishwashing program is designed for an effective wash using as little energy and water as possible. Select option – TotalDry for better drying results. Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity, or gas. Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply if the building is heated using energy-efficient means. Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature as certain materials cannot withstand high heat.
• Page 8: Loading the dishwasher Some cookware is not dishwasher safe due to high heat or damage from detergent. Exercise caution with handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood, and plastic. Load the dishes carefully to ensure the best washing and drying results. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards. Dishes should not be placed in or on each other. Angle dishes with hollows so that rinse water will run off. Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the top cutlery tray. The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an upper basket, and a lower basket. The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks, serving cutlery, and similar items. The top cutlery tray can be moved sideways to better accommodate the dishes.
• Page 9: Upper basket Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards. Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right. Raising and lowering the upper basket Pull out the upper basket. Grab the sides of the upper basket with both hands and lift it up. If the upper basket is raised while in the top position, it will drop to the bottom position. Note that both sides of the basket must always be set to the same height.
• Page 10: Adjustable plate supports can be folded down to make it easier to load pots, bowls, and glasses. Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, and pots in the lower basket. Cutlery can be placed in the cutlery holder. Fit the cutlery holder to achieve maximum loading capacity. Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.
• Page 11: Using the dishwasher Add detergent Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. This dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water. The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent. There is one compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from operating effectively. There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read through the directions for these products carefully. Activate the TAB setting when using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid. Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for programs lasting less than 75 minutes. Use dishwasher detergent powder or dishwasher detergent gel instead. Optimal washing and drying results are achieved by using dishwasher detergent together with separately dispensed rinse aid and salt.
• Page 12: On/Off The control panel only reacts to use when the door is open. Open the door and press the On/Off button. Select a program to suit the type of dishes and how dirty they are. Eco 55° is always pre-selected. The dishwasher can measure how dirty the dishes are and adjust water consumption and temperature accordingly. Eco 55° is suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most effective program in terms of combined energy and water consumption. For heavily soiled dishes with a lot of grease, a program with higher temperatures should be used. 1h 65° is a quick program for slightly dried leftovers. Intensive 70° is a program with a high temperature for dissolving grease on very dirty dishes. Glass 40° is a gentle dishwashing program for fragile items made of crystal/glass. Remember to use a small amount of detergent and to place items so that they do not touch each other during the wash.
• Page 13: Hygiene 70° This program is ideal to use where demands on hygiene are extra high, e.g. for baby bottles and cutting boards. Night 55° A quieter dishwashing program, suitable for running at night. The program time is extended. Remote (WiFi) You can remote control this dishwasher with your smartphone/tablet. Self-clean Self-cleaning program for hygienic cleaning of the dishwasher tub, spray arms and spray pipes. Delayed start When you select Delayed start, the dishwasher will start 1-24 hours after you have pressed and closed the door. Speed wash This option shortens the program time, but uses more energy and water.
• Page 14: The dishwasher door opens automatically, which shortens the program time and improves the drying results. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the program has ended and the dishes have cooled before unloading the dishwasher. The drying time of the TotalDry option varies (from 5 to 90 minutes) depending on the model, program, and temperature of the final rinse. The TotalDry option is pre-selected for some programs. For the best drying results, do not close the door before the drying phase has finished and the machine has automatically switched off. The dishwasher door must not be blocked or closed when opened automatically. To remote start the dishwasher, see the chapter ConnectLife. If you want to interrupt or change the program after starting the dishwasher, press and hold for three seconds. A flashing light indicates that the door has been opened while a program is in progress. A lens for a forward-facing status light can be fitted.
• Page 15: If you want to load more dishes, open the door. The dishwasher stops automatically. Add the dishes and close the door. If the dishwashing program was remote started, the interrupted program will continue once the door is closed. If the dishwasher is turned off due to a power failure when a dishwashing program is running, the program continues when power is restored. Once the program has finished, the end of the program is indicated by one short signal from the buzzer. The end of the program is indicated by the status light turning off. Once the dishwasher door is opened and the program has finished, End appears on the display. Shut off the water tap after each use if required by your insurance company. For the best drying results, fully load the dishwasher and angle dishes with hollows so that the rinse water will run off. Top up with rinse aid or increase the rinse aid dosage setting. Unload the lower basket first to avoid any water drops from the upper basket falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.
• Page 16: Program chart Consumption values vary depending on the temperature of the incoming water, room temperature, load size, selected additional functions and more. The values for the Eco 55° program are accurate, others are indicative only. The dishwasher's built-in water softener is regularly regenerated to maintain its function. Regeneration extends the dishwashing program and increases energy and water consumption. This program is suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most effective program in terms of combined energy and water consumption. This program is used to assess compliance with EU legislation on ecodesign.
