Indesit DIF04B1 Dishwasher Details

The Indesit DIF04B1 is a fully integrated dishwasher designed to sit behind a kitchen furniture door. Its control panel has only a few controls: an ON-OFF/Reset button, a P button for selecting the wash cycle, and indicator lights that show the active programme. A buzzer confirms commands such as power on and cycle end. To save electricity, the machine switches itself off automatically after long periods of inactivity.

The water softener and rinse aid settings are adjusted from the control panel. To set the water hardness, switch the dishwasher off, hold P for 5 seconds until it beeps, then switch it back on and press P to choose a level. For rinse aid, press P three times while the machine is off. If you see bluish streaks on your dishes, choose a lower rinse aid level. If you see water drops or limescale marks, choose a higher one.

There are two racks. The lower rack holds pans, lids, plates and salad bowls, and its water jets are stronger, so it is best for heavily soiled items. The upper rack is for glasses, cups and other delicate crockery. The side tip-up compartments can be set at three different heights, and slots in them hold wine glasses by the stem. Tilting these compartments further improves drying. The height of the upper rack can also be changed, but only when the rack is empty and never on one side alone.

The modular cutlery basket has top grilles to keep items separated and must be placed at the front of the lower rack. Knives should go in with the points facing down. Do not put wooden items, copper or tin crockery, antique or decorated glassware, or heat-sensitive plastics in the dishwasher. The detergent dispenser opens by itself at the right point in the cycle. When using all-in-one tablets, you should still add refined salt, especially if your water is hard.

You can add crockery during a cycle. Open the door carefully to avoid the steam, add the items, and close the door. The cycle then continues from where it stopped. The same thing happens after a power cut. To change a cycle that has only just started, hold the ON/OFF button, switch the machine on again, and select the new programme. When the cycle ends, the machine beeps and the programme indicator light flashes.

The dishwasher has an anti-flooding system that cuts off the water supply if it detects a fault or a leak. Clean the three-part filter regularly under running water with a non-metallic brush. Never remove the black wash-pump protection. Both sprayer arms can be removed for cleaning. The upper arm is released by turning its locking ring, and the lower arm is released by pressing its side tabs. To prevent odours, leave the door ajar and wipe the door seals with a damp sponge.

The manual includes a troubleshooting table that covers the most common problems, such as the machine not starting, water not draining, excessive noise, white film on dishes, and poor drying. On UK models, the plug wiring uses brown for live, blue for neutral, and green and yellow for earth. You can extend the parts guarantee to five years by registering the appliance with Indesit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Indesit DIF04B1 Dishwasher, and we answer them below.


How many place settings does the Indesit DIF04B1 hold?
It holds 13 standard place settings.

What are the dimensions of the Indesit DIF04B1?
The appliance is 59.5 cm wide, 82 cm high and 57 cm deep.

Which wash cycles are available?
There are four cycles: Eco (3 h 10 min), Intensive (2 h 30 min), Normal (2 h) and Prewash (10 min). Prewash does not include drying.

How much salt goes into the salt dispenser?
The dispenser holds about 1 kg of dishwasher salt. The first time only, fill the container with water before adding the salt. It is normal for a little water to overflow.

How do I set the water hardness?
Switch the dishwasher off, hold P for 5 seconds until it beeps, and switch it back on. Press P to choose a level from 1 to 4, then switch the machine off to save the setting.

How do I adjust the amount of rinse aid?
With the machine off, press P three times until it beeps. Switch the machine on, press P to choose a level, and then switch it off to save the setting. Setting the level to zero turns off rinse aid dosing.

How much detergent should I use?
For normally soiled dishes, use about 35 g of powder, 35 ml of liquid, or one tablet. Use less if the dishes are only lightly soiled. Never use washing-up liquid.

What water pressure and inlet connection are required?
The water pressure must be between 0.05 and 1 MPa (0.5 to 10 bar). The machine connects to a 3/4" gas cold or hot water tap, with a maximum water temperature of 60°C.

At what height should the drain hose be connected?
Connect the drain hose between 40 and 80 cm from the floor, to a drain duct with a diameter of at least 2 cm.

Can I add dishes after the cycle has started?
Yes. Open the door carefully to avoid the steam, add the items, and close the door. The cycle continues from where it stopped.

How noisy is the Indesit DIF04B1?
Its rated noise level is 49 dB(A) re 1 pW.

Why are my dishes covered in a white film?
The most likely causes are a lack of refined salt, a water hardness setting that is too low, a loose dispenser cap, or not enough rinse aid.

What guarantee does the dishwasher come with?
It comes with a 12-month parts and labour guarantee. You also get a free 5-year parts guarantee if you register the appliance, but you pay for the engineer's labour.
