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.

If this happens, clean the spill  

immediately with a dry cloth.  

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 WDFS3R4NBSAU 14 Place Setting 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 program buttons and indicators. 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 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 involves using the opening device and placing detergent only in the dry dispenser. When measuring detergent, refer to the indications inside the dispenser for proper dosing. Remove detergent residues from the edges and ensure the cover clicks shut. The dishwasher automatically opens the detergent dispenser at the right time during 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 before use. If a wrong program is selected, it can be changed if it has just begun by resetting the machine. To add extra crockery during a wash cycle, open the door slightly to avoid splashing and press the START/Pause button to resume. The end of the wash cycle is indicated by sound and the display shows END. To avoid odour and sediment, run a high-temperature program at least once a month without loading.
• Page 3: Daily Reference Guide Programs table Eco 50° - Environmentally-friendly wash cycle with low energy consumption level. Standard cycle suitable to wash normally soiled load. Auto Intensive 65° - Automatic program for heavily soiled crockery, especially for pots and saucepans. Auto Mixed 55° - Automatic program for mixed soiled dishes with dried food residues. Rapid 45° - Program for lightly-soiled dishes with no dried food residues. Does not include the drying phase. Self-Clean 65° - Program to perform maintenance of the dishwasher, to be carried out only when the dishwasher is empty. The Eco 50° wash cycle adheres to the regulation standard AS/NZS 2007. Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs. Warning: Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Options can be selected/deselected after choosing the program by pressing the corresponding button. Turbo option can reduce time up to 40% depending on the selected program.
• Page 4: Capacity: 14 standard place-settings The third rack was designed to house the cutlery. A separate arrangement of the cutlery makes collection easier after washing and improves washing and drying performance. The side foldable flaps can be folded or unfolded to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack. Load delicate and light dishes: glasses, cups, saucers, low salad bowls. 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. The height of the upper rack can be adjusted to create more space upwards and avoid collision with items loaded into the lower rack. Regularly clean the filter assembly so that the filters do not clog and that the waste water flows away correctly. The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. Inspect the trap and remove any food residues.
• 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 as food residue may become encrusted and block 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. Refill the reservoir with salt 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 the descale indicator is lit or blinking. The dishwasher won’t start or does not respond to commands if the door is not closed properly. Clean the filter and descale the appliance if the dishwasher won’t drain. Make sure there is water in the water supply and the water tap is open if the dishwasher does not fill with water.
• Page 6: Problems possible causes solutions The filter is clogged with food residues or limescale. Clean the filter and descale the appliance. The dishwasher finishes the cycle prematurely. Check if the end of the drain hose is placed at the correct height. The detergent has not been measured out correctly or it is not suitable for use in dishwashers. An excessive amount of foam is present. Check water supply for leaks or other issues letting air inside. Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled. Multifunctional tablets only will not provide as good drying effects as the actual use of liquid rinse aid. The dishes are not dried well. Make sure the cycle has ended before starting to unload the dishes. The selected cycle does not have the drying phase. It is recommended to change cycle selection for the one that has the drying phase. The salt reservoir is empty. Using the appliance without salt may cause damage to its internal components. Dishes and glasses are covered with limescale or a whitish film. The water hardness setting is too low. The dishwasher shows F8 E5. Valve is blocked or faulty.
