Filling the tank with salt

After installing and connecting the device, the instruction manual for the Indesit dishwasher describes the process of filling containers with the necessary products. First you need to add salt and also add rinse aid. The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. When using for the first time, as well as when the indicator lights up indicating the absence of salt (in the lower right corner), you need to find a special tank, which is located in the lower part.
2. To figure out how to use the Indesit dishwasher, you should open its door and remove the lowest basket for dishes. Then find the container and turn its lid counterclockwise.
3. If the unit is being used for the first time, first fill the tank to the top with water. To do this, you can insert a funnel.
4. Next, add special salt, also for the limit (about 1 kg). The instruction manual for the Indesit dishwasher involves the use of special preparations in the form of tablets or granules.
5. Remove the funnel, if necessary, clean the surface from grains of salt and rinse the lid, then screw it on until it stops.
6. Before setting the washing mode of the Indesit dishwasher, you should adjust the hardness level. It is determined depending on the data for the region. If they are not available, you can use special test strips or check how much foam the soap produces.If it lathers well, the water is relatively soft; if it lathers poorly, the water is hard.

Filling the container with rinse aid

In the next step, the Indesit dishwasher operating instructions describe the process of filling the container with rinse aid. To do this you need to do this:

1. Open the dispenser cap by turning it counterclockwise (G).
2. Then add the required amount of rinse aid, but not more than the specified level.
3. If some of the product spills, you must thoroughly wipe the surface.
4. Close the lid.
5. After finishing washing, you can set the correct settings on the dispenser control (F). If there are white stains on the plates, set it to position 1, 2 or 3. If stains appear or drops of moisture remain - 4 or 5. You can turn it with a screwdriver.

Program selection

Next, you need to select the Indesit dishwasher modes and load plates, bowls and other utensils. Almost all models are equipped with 5 programs, which differ in purpose and other parameters:

1. A normal (standard) sink is intended for daily use. Instructions for using the Indesit dishwasher indicate that in this case you need to pour 21 ml of detergent or add 21 g of powder.
2. The intensive mode is intended for very dirty dishes, including large ones (pots, pans). The main way to use an Indesit dishwasher is to add the maximum amount of product (25 ml in liquid form or 25 g of powder). Moreover, you should not put more, otherwise strong foam will form.
3. Pre-rinse option - the instructions in Russian for the Indesit dishwasher indicate that in this case there is no need to add detergent, since the dishes are treated only with hot water.
4. Ecological wash (Eco) - add the maximum amount of product (25 g or 25 ml), as described in the instructions for the Indesit dishwasher.
5. The short cycle operating mode of the Indesit dishwasher is designed for not a very large number of plates and bowls (provided that they are not very dirty). Then you should put 21 g of powder or pour 21 ml of liquid product.

Loading dishes and starting

Next, the instructions for the Indesit dishwasher describe the process of loading the baskets and actually starting it. The basic rules are:

1. Place the largest items in the tray below - wide dishes, frying pans, large lids, pots, etc.
2. Place the cutlery in a special basket, as indicated in the instructions for the Indesit DSG 2637 dishwasher or another model.
3. Install it into the tray from above, as shown in the diagram (can be on the right or left)
4. Before setting the Indesit dishwasher program, place small items in the upper basket, for example, flat saucers, cups for tea, coffee, small containers for salads. Small pots and pans go here.
5. Next, you need to figure out how the Indesit dishwasher works - set the desired mode and press the start button.

When your Indesit dishwasher is set to cycle, it will run for the specified time (eg 2 hours 40 minutes). After finishing, it is recommended to inspect the dishes and, if necessary, adjust the amount of rinse aid. If foam comes out, you need to remove it into a bucket or basin, and the next time you start, pour less detergent.
