Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.  

After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL indicator  

light switches off.  

If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating  

element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation.  

Use of salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher detergent.

WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM  

Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently pre-  

venting scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning ef-  

ficiency. This system regenerates itself with salt, therefore it is required  

to refill the salt container when empty. The frequency of regeneration  

depends on the water hardness level setting - regeneration takes place  

once per 4-6 Eco cycles with the water hardness level set to 3. The regen-  

eration process occurs at the beginning of the cycle with additional fresh  

water.

FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR  

The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes and on  

the machine’s functional components.  

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (under the  

lower rack on the left side).  

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER  

Rinse aid makes dish DRYING easier. The rinse aid dispenser A should be  

filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light in the control panel is lit.

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap  

(anticlockwise).  

2. Position the funnel (see figure) and fill the salt reservoir  

right up to its edge (approximately 0,5 kg); it is not un-  

usual for a little water to leak out.

3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.  

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.  

3. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt reservoir  

with water.  

Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid  

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust  

the quantity of rinse aid used.  

To change, follow instructions in the section “SETTING MENU”.  

If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO, no rinse aid will be supplied. The LOW  

RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid.  

A maximum of 6 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model.  

• If you see bluish streaks on the dishes, set a low number (0-3).  

• If there are drops of water or limescale marks on the dishes, set  

a mid-range number (4-5).  

4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening.  

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can get into  

the container during the wash program (this could damage the water  

softener beyond repair).  

Run a program every time as soon as you completed refilling the salt  

reservoir to avoid corrosion.  

Setting the water hardness  

To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that  

the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your  

house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier.  

The factory setting is “3”. See„WATER HARDNESS TABLE”.  

To change, follow instructions in section “SETTING MENU”.

Whirlpool W7U HS31 X Dishwasher Overview

Summary of Contents

• Page 1: Daily Reference Guide Thank you for buying a Whirlpool product. Before using the appliance carefully read Safety and Installation Instructions. After installation, please remember to remove all transport protection parts from the dishwasher. Control Panel includes various buttons with indicator lights for different functions. First Time Use involves switching on the appliance and accessing the settings menu. Water Softening System automatically reduces water hardness, preventing scale buildup. Filling the salt reservoir is essential to prevent limescale on dishes and machine components. Rinse aid makes dish drying easier and should be filled when the Rinse Aid Refill indicator light is lit. Adjusting the dosage of rinse aid can improve drying results based on personal preference. Setting the water hardness is crucial for the water softener to function effectively.
• Page 2: Filling the detergent dispenser requires using the opening device. Introduce detergent into the dry dispenser only and place pre-washing detergent directly inside the tub. The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the right time according to the program. Using detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage. Check that the dishwasher is connected to the water supply and the tap is open. If a wrong program is selected, it can be changed if it has just begun. To start the wash cycle, close the door and press the START/Pause button. The end of the wash cycle is indicated by sound and the display shows END. Before loading, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty the glasses. It is recommended to initiate the wash cycle once the dishwasher is fully loaded. To avoid odour and sediment, run a high-temperature program at least once a month.
• Page 3: Daily Reference Guide Programs table Eco 50° - Program is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, and it is the most efficient program in terms of its combined energy and water consumption. Auto Intensive 65° - Automatic program for heavily soiled dishes and pans. It senses the level of soiling on the dishes and adjusts the program accordingly. Auto Mixed 55° - Automatic program for normally soiled dishes with dried food residues. Auto Fast 50° - Automatic program for normally and lightly soiled dishes, ensuring optimal cleaning and drying performance in a shorter time. Rapid 45° - Program is recommended for a limited amount of lightly-soiled dishes with no dried food residues. Crystals 45° - Program for delicate items, which are more sensitive to high temperatures, such as glasses and cups. Prewash - Use to refresh crockery planned to be washed later. No detergent is to be used with this program. Self-Clean 65° - Program to perform maintenance of the dishwasher, to be carried out only when the dishwasher is empty using specific detergents designed for dishwasher maintenance. ECO program data is measured under laboratory conditions according to European Standard EN 60436:2020. Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs.
• Page 4: Capacity: 15 standard place-settings Loading the racks The third rack was designed to house the cutlery. The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position to load pans and salad bowls easily. Arrange the cutlery as shown in the figure for easier collection after washing and improved washing and drying performance. Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be positioned with the blades facing downwards. Load delicate and light dishes in the upper rack. The upper rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers. Power Clean® uses special water jets to wash highly dirty items more intensively. Regularly clean the filter assembly to prevent clogging and ensure proper waste water flow. The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.
• Page 5: Daily Reference Guide The lower spray arm may be removed by pulling it upwards and rotating it anti-clockwise. Cleaning the spray arms is recommended to prevent food residue from blocking the holes. The top spray arm may be removed by pressing it up and then rotating it anti-clockwise. In case your dishwasher doesn’t work properly, check if the problem can be solved by going through the troubleshooting list. Spare parts will be available for a period of either up to 7 or up to 10 years. Refill the salt reservoir if the salt indicator is lit or blinking. Rinse aid dispenser is empty if the rinse aid indicator is lit or blinking. Descale the appliance immediately if limescale is accumulating on internal components. The dishwasher won’t start if the door is not closed properly. Clean the filter and descale the appliance if the dishwasher won’t drain.
• Page 6: No water in the water supply or the tap is closed. Make sure there is water in the water supply and the water tap is open. The dishwasher does not fill the water. The water inlet hose is kinked. Check the inlet hose. The screen in the water inlet hose is clogged; it is necessary to clean it. Check and clean the screen in the water inlet hose. The filter is clogged with food residues or limescale. Clean the filter and descale the appliance. The dishwasher finishes the cycle prematurely. Drain hose positioned too low or siphoning into the home sewage system. The detergent has not been measured out correctly or it is not suitable for use in dishwashers. An excessive amount of foam is present. Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled. Rinse aid is not present or the dosage is too low. The dishes are not dried well. The dishes are sitting too flat. The selected cycle does not have the drying phase. A cycle without the drying phase may not deliver desired drying efficiency. The salt reservoir is empty. Using the appliance without salt may cause damage to its internal components. The rinse aid reservoir is empty or the rinse aid dosage is insufficient. Refill the dispenser with rinse aid and check the dosage setting. Valve is blocked or faulty. Close the water tap, if possible. Do not switch off the power supply.
