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 facto-  

ry setting is “3”. See „WATER HARDNESS TABLE”.

WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM  

Water softener automatically reduces water hardness, consequently preventing  

scale buildup on the heater, contributing also to better cleaning efficiency.  

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 regeneration 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).  

•

•

•

Single regeneration consumes ~3L of water;  

Takes up to 5 additional minutes for the cycle;  

Consumes below 0.005kWh of energy.  

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.

It is mandatory that the salt reservoir never be empty.  

It is important to set the water hardness.  

Salt must be filled when the SALT REFILL indicator light on the control  

panel is lit.  

1. Open the dispenser

by  

pressing and pulling up the  

tab on the lid.  

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.  

2. Pour in the rinse aid (max.  

110 ml), making sure it does  

not overflow from the dis-  

penser. If this happens, clean  

the spill immediately with a  

dry cloth.

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

with water.  

B

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).  

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

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

Whirlpool WFE 2B19 Dishwasher Overview

Summary of Contents

• Page 1: Daily reference guide Before using the appliance carefully read. Thank you for buying a Whirlpool product. In order to receive more complete assistance, please register your appliance. After installation, please remember to remove all transport protection parts from the dishwasher. Control panel includes various program buttons with indicator lights. Setting menu instructions for first-time use. Setting the water hardness is essential for the water softener to work effectively. The water softening system prevents scale buildup and improves cleaning efficiency. Filling the salt reservoir is necessary to prevent limescale on dishes and machine components. Rinse aid makes dish drying easier and should be filled when the indicator light is lit.
• Page 2: 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. If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO, no rinse aid will be supplied. A maximum of 6 levels can be set according to the dishwasher model. When measuring out the detergent refer to the mentioned earlier information to add the proper quantity. The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the program. Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage to the appliance. Check that the dishwasher is connected to the water supply and that the tap is open. If a wrong program was selected, it is possible to change it, provided that it has only just begun. The end of the wash cycle is indicated by beeps and by the flashing of the wash cycle number on the display. To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the dishwasher, please 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 is the most efficient program in terms of energy and water consumption. Auto Intensive 65° - Automatic program for heavily soiled dishes and pans. 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 shorter time. Rapid 45° - Recommended for a limited amount of lightly-soiled dishes with no dried food residues, does not include the drying phase. Crystals 45° - Program for delicate items sensitive to high temperatures, such as glasses and cups. Self-Clean 65° - Program for maintenance of the dishwasher, to be used only when the dishwasher is empty. Options and functions Power Clean® - Provides a more intensive wash in the lower rack, recommended for pots and casseroles. Half Load - Used to save water, electricity, or time when there are not many dishes to wash. Sani Rinse - Used to sanitize washed dishes by increasing the final rinse temperature and adding antibacterial wash.
• Page 4: Capacity: 15 standard place-settings The third rack was designed to house the cutlery. The side foldable flaps can be folded or unfolded to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack. Arrange the cutlery as shown in the figure for easier collection after washing. 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. Load delicate and light dishes in the upper rack. The height of the upper rack can be adjusted to create more space upwards. Power Clean® uses special water jets to wash highly dirty items more intensively. Regularly clean the filter assembly to prevent clogging and ensure proper water flow. The dishwasher must not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.
• Page 5: Daily Reference Guide Cleaning the spray arms involves removing the lower spray arm by pulling it upwards and rotating it anti-clockwise, and the top spray arm by pressing it up and rotating it anti-clockwise. Food residue may block the holes in the spray arms, so it's recommended to clean them with a small non-metallic brush. In case of dishwasher issues, check the troubleshooting list for possible solutions. The salt indicator being lit means the salt reservoir is almost empty, while a blinking indicator means it is empty. Replenishing the salt is crucial to prevent damage to the appliance's internal components. If the rinse aid indicator is lit or blinking, the rinse aid dispenser is empty and needs to be refilled. Descaling the appliance is necessary if the descaling indicator is lit or blinking to prevent limescale accumulation. The dishwasher may not start if the door is not closed properly or if the NaturalDry pin is not pulled in. Excessive noise may indicate that crockery is not arranged properly or that the filter is clogged. If the dishes are not clean, ensure the rinse aid cap is closed and the filter is clean.
• Page 6: Problems possible causes and solutions 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. Check the inlet hose. The water inlet hose is kinked. The screen in the water inlet hose is clogged; it is necessary to clean it. 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. Rinse aid is not present or the dosage is too low. For better drying results, it is recommended to let the dishes sit inside the dishwasher with the door open for additional 15 minutes after the cycle ends. 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.
