How to turn on the Midea dishwasher and start the wash

Learning how to operate a Midea dishwasher for the first time may seem a little intimidating. However, it’s actually pretty easy once you know the steps.

You can choose the appropriate wash cycle and turn on your Midea dishwasher by following this guide. It makes a difference how many dishes you’re washing or how full the load is; knowing how to use your dishwasher correctly will guarantee that your dishes are always spotless.

Let’s start with the fundamentals so you can operate your Midea dishwasher with ease and confidence.

Make sure the Midea dishwasher is correctly loaded with dishes and detergent before turning on the wash cycle. Next, just close the door, use the control panel to choose the desired wash program, and press the start button. The dishwasher will start its cycle and clean your dishes effectively with the least amount of work on your part.

Before using the dishwasher for the first time

Read the dishwasher’s instructions after purchasing one. Every manufacturer has different guidelines for how to operate the equipment. The user manual has enough subtleties that you shouldn’t ignore reading it.

Online, you can find the instructions specific to your Midea dishwasher model.

To connect the machine to utilities, it is preferable to call in an expert. The technician will level the dishwasher, integrate it into the furniture, hang the facade, and connect it to the water supply and sewage system. In the event that you install the dishwasher yourself, the store might void the warranty for specific malfunctions.

Prior to operating the dishwasher for the first time, you must:

• find out the hardness of the tap water in your region;
• adjust the dishwasher softener;
• fill the machine tank with special regenerating salt;
• add detergent to the dispenser.

When the machine is first started, it operates in an idle state without any dishes in the chamber. To remove factory dirt from the dishwasher’s interior, a test cycle is required. In order to watch how the device works, check for leaks, and determine whether water is being collected and heated, a test wash is also required.

Before the first test run, which will occur without dishes in the chamber, adjust the softener, add salt, and load the detergent.

The softener can be manually adjusted. Depending on how hard the local tap water is, adjustments are made. One can use specialized test strips to measure the indicator or contact the city water utility service to find out more information.

The softener setting will determine how much regenerating salt is used. More granules will be needed to soften the water the harder the water. The Midea dishwasher’s instructions contain all the information needed to modify the ion exchanger. The following will be the algorithm:

• turn on the dishwasher;
• press the "Start / Pause" button for 5-7 seconds to start the softener adjustment mode;
• press the "Start / Pause" button to select the softener level, it changes in the following sequence: H1-H2-H3-H4-H5-H6;
• finish the setup by pressing the "On" button./Off.».

The machine needs to have salt added to it next. In order to prevent the spilled salt water from collecting at the bottom of the washing chamber for an extended period of time, this is done right before the dishwasher starts up for the first time. The following will be the algorithm:

• open the dishwasher door;
• pull out the lower basket for dishes;
• unscrew the lid of the salt container (located at the bottom of the washing chamber);
• using a funnel (supplied with the Midea dishwasher), fill the tray with salt (you need to add about one and a half kilograms of crystals);
• fill the water tank to the top (a little liquid will leak out of the container – this is normal);
• screw the tank cap clockwise;
• make sure that the salt indicator on the control panel goes out.

On the dishwasher door is where the detergent dispenser is situated. Use of tablets, powders, or gels made especially for dishwashers is required. Machine malfunctions can occur from using compositions meant for hand washing because they foam excessively.

Depending on their personal preferences, each user selects the type of detergent. Although tablets are more cost-effective and easier to dose, they are not appropriate for short programs. Gels and powders dissolve quickly, making them ideal for brief cycles.

The dishwasher door also has the rinse aid tray. This mixture helps to keep dishes stain-free and expedites the drying process of silverware. Pour the product into the compartment to the designated level before beginning the wash. There are roughly 110 milliliters in the tank.

You can perform an empty test cycle once the dishwasher is fully loaded with all of the products. This can be accomplished with a brief program that involves heating the water to between 40 and 50 degrees. Check the machine’s operation to see if there are any leaks or other issues. If all goes according to plan, you can begin wiping off soiled dishes.

Correct loading of baskets

How well the dishes are arranged in the baskets has a big impact on the outcome of the wash. In the equipment manual, the Midea dishwasher manufacturer offers suggestions for loading cutlery. The cycle will function less efficiently if these guidelines are broken.

In the handbook, the manufacturer offers the following advice:

• kitchen utensils loaded into the appliance must be marked as dishwasher safe;
• use only high-quality, "soft" household chemicals developed specifically for dishwashers;
• select the washing program and temperature mode in accordance with the degree of contamination of the dishes and the material they are made of;
• select the lowest possible washing temperature for individual kitchen utensils;
• do not remove fragile dishes from the machine immediately after the end of the program – let the items cool down and dry.

The Midea dishwasher is unable to wash the following items:

• items with wooden, mother-of-pearl and porcelain handles;
• dishes made of non-heat-resistant plastic;
• pewter and copper utensils;
• cracked or glued dishes;
• steel utensils damaged by corrosion;
• wooden kitchen utensils;
• dishes made of synthetic fibers.

The following products are categorized by the manufacturer as having limited suitability for dishwasher cleaning:

• glass utensils, which may become dull;
• silver and aluminum utensils (they fade during washing);
• items with glazed designs (the images may fade).

Make sure to remove any large food residues from the dishes before loading them into the appliance.

It is best to cover burned dishes with hot water first. This will make the machine more capable of handling heavy dirt. You can omit this step if your dishwasher has a "Soak" program.

Additionally, suggestions for organizing kitchen utensils in the baskets are included in the instructions:

• deep dishes (salad bowls, mugs, glasses, pots, stewpan) put up up so that the water does not stagnate inside;
• Place items with curves and recesses at an angle so that water flows out of the recesses;
• Dishes should stand securely in the baskets so that they do not tip over during washing;
• Make sure that the dishes do not block the rotation of the dishwasher arms and sprayers;
• Do not put too small cutlery in the baskets – they may fall out of the trays;
• Do not stack cutlery on top of each other or on top of other items;
• Make sure that glasses do not touch each other, otherwise they may break;
• Place large dishes (serving plates, pots, frying pans, saucepans, lids) in the lower basket, small ones (saucers, cups, mugs) – in the upper one;
• Do not place knives vertically, they should be placed horizontally, in the upper basket;
• Do not overload the dishwasher – this is fraught with increased energy consumption, reduced washing quality, and equipment breakdown.

Serving plates should be positioned with their inner side facing the center in the lower basket. The item should be placed closer to the edge the larger it is. To allow water to wash the items from all sides, make sure there is a space between them.

After the cycle is complete, open the door and let the dishes sit for five to ten minutes before taking them out. The objects will dry and cool. Empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper one.

In the upper basket, small kitchen tools such as rolling pins, spatulas, garlic presses, and ladles are arranged horizontally. Bay sheets should be washed on their sides in the lower basket rather than upside down. If not, the chamber’s water circulation will be interfered with.

Adjusting the baskets

Dishwashers made by Midea feature an adjustable upper basket. If you need to load big dishes into the chamber, this might be required. Adjust the basket’s position by positioning the wheels at varying guide heights.

You can remove the holders that are included in the lower basket. This makes packing baking sheets, pots, and saucepans into the box easier. This will level out the bottom and increase the tray’s capacity.

After you get the hang of it, starting your Midea dishwasher is simple. You can make sure your dishes are always spotless and gleaming with a few simple steps.

Before you shut the door, make sure you load your dishes correctly, choose the appropriate wash cycle, and add detergent. Remember to check the power supply and water supply before starting the wash to prevent any problems.

After setting everything up, just hit the start button and let your Midea dishwasher take care of the rest. Savor the efficiency and convenience it adds to your everyday routine.
