Preparation

Tips for energy saving

Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energyefficient manner.

Wipe away any coarse food remnants on the dishes before putting them in the product. Operate the product after filling it completely.

When selecting a programme, consider the table of "Programme data and average consumption values".

Do not put more detergent than suggested on the detergent package.

Water softening system

The product is equipped with a water softening system which reduces the hardness of incoming water. This system softens the supply water to a level that will allow washing the dishes with the required quality.

The mains water hardness must be softened if it is over 7°dH. Otherwise, hardness ions will accumulate on the dishes that are washed and may affect the washing, rinsing and drying performances of the machine.

Adjusting the water softening system

Cleaning, rinsing and drying performance of your dishwasher will increase when water softening system is adjusted properly. Adjust the new water hardness level according to the Water hardness level instruction in this booklet.

Use the test strip supplied with the product according to the steps given below to determine hardness level of your supply water.

After determining hardness level of the supply water:

1. After turning on your machine, press and hold the Time Delay and Start / Pause / Cancel keys respectively.
2. Using the Time Delay key, turn on 9 and 3 LEDs.
3. Use the function keys to adjust the water hardness level.
4. Press On / Off key to save the setting.

Water hardness level adjustment table

Hardness Level	English Water Hardness °dE	German Water Hardness °dH	French Water Hardness °dF	Water Hardness Level Indicator
Level 0	0-5	0-4	0-8	Press the 1st programme key to set the water hardness setting to position 1.
Level 1	6-9	5-7	9-13
Level 2	10-15	8-12	14-22	Press the 2nd programme key to set the water hardness setting to position 2.
Level 3	16-19	13-15	23-27	Press the 3rd programme key to set the water hardness setting to position 3.
Level 4	20-24	16-19	28-34	Press the 4th programme key to set the water hardness setting to position 4.
Level 5	25-62	20-50	35-90	Press the 5th programme key to set the water hardness setting to position 5.

If the hardness level of the supply water is above 90 °dF or if you are using well water, then it is recommended to use water purification devices and special filters.

If the hardness level of the supply water is below 13°dF, there is no need to use salt in your dishwasher. If this is the case, "No Salt Warning Indicator" (if any) illuminates continuously on the panel of your machine.

If the water hardness level adjustment is set to level 1, the "No salt warning indicator" will illuminate continuously although it is not necessary to use salt. If you use salt under this condition, salt will not be consumed and the Salt indicator will not illuminate.

If you move your house, it is necessary to readjust water hardness level of your machine by considering the information given above according to the hardness level of the supply water in your new location. Your machine will display the most recently adjusted water hardness level.

Adding salt

Water softening system needs to be regenerated in order for the product operates with the same performance continuously. Dishwasher salt is used for this purpose.

	Use only special softening salts produced particularly for the dishwashers in your machine.
	It is recommended to use granule- or powder-formed softening salts in the water softening system. Do not use salts that do not completely dissolve in water such as table salt or rock salt. Otherwise the performance of the system may deteriorate in time.
	Salt reservoir will be filled with water when you start the product. For this reason, add salt before operating the machine.

1. Firstly, take the lower basket out to add softening salt.
2. Turn the salt reservoir lid counterclockwise to open it (A).
   
3. Add 1 litre of water to salt reservoir of your machine only in initial use.
4. Fill the salt reservoir with salt by using the salt funnel (D). To speed up dissolution rate of salt in water, stir it with a spoon.
   

You can put about 2 kg of softening salt into the salt reservoir.

	You need to add salt right before starting the machine. Thus, the overflowing salty water will be flushed immediately, preventing the risk of corrosion in machine. In cases where you would not start washing immediately, run your machine empty in the shortest program.
	Since different salt brands in the market have different particle sizes and since the water hardness may vary, dissolution of the salt in water may take a couple of hours. Therefore, Salt Indicator remains on for a while after adding salt into the machine.

Detergent

You can use powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergents in the machine.

Only use in the machine the detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers. We recommend you not use detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate as they are harmful for the environment.

Adding detergent

	Pay attention to the warnings on the detergent packaging to get better washing and drying results. Contact the manufacturer of the detergent for further questions.
	Do not put solvents into the detergent dispenser. There is the risk of explosion!

Put the detergent into the detergent dispenser just before operating the machine as illustrated below.

1. Push the latch to right to open the detergent dispenser lid (A).
   

Inside the detergent dispenser there are level markings that help you use appropriate amount of powder detergent. When brimful, detergent dispenser will contain 45 cm³ of detergent. Fill detergent up to 15 cm³ or 25 cm³ level marks in the detergent dispenser according to fullness of the machine and/ or soiling degree of the dishes. One tablet is enough if you are using detergent tablets.

3. Push the lid of the detergent dispenser to close it. A "click" will be heard when the lid is closed.
   

Use powder or liquid/gel detergent in short programmes without prewash since the solubility of the tablet detergent changes depending on the temperature and time.

Tablet detergents

In addition to the conventional tablet detergents, there are also commercially available detergent tablets that show water softening salt and/or rinse aid effect. Some types of these detergents contain specialpurpose components such as glass and stainless steel protectors. These tablets show their effects up to a certain water hardness level (21°dH). Water softening salt and rinse aid must also be used together with the detergent if the water hardness level is above the mentioned level.

The best washing performance in dishwashers is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt individually.

	Observe the instructions of the detergent manufacturer on the package when using tablet detergents.
	Contact the detergent manufacturer if your dishes are wet and/or if you notice limescale spots particularly on your glasses after the washing programme is over when using a tablet detergent.

When you switch to powder detergent from tablet detergent:

1. Make sure that salt and rinse aid reservoirs are full.
2. Set the water hardness to the highest level and perform an empty run.
3. After the empty washing cycle, review the user manual and readjust the water hardness level so as to suit the water supply.

Rinse aid

The rinse aid used in dishwashers is a special combination that aims to increase drying efficiency and prevent water or lime stains on the washed items. For this reason, care must be paid to have rinse aid in the rinse aid reservoir and to use rinse aids produced specially for dishwashers only.

1. Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir with the help of the latch.
   
2. Fill the reservoir until "MAX" level.
   
3. Slightly press the point (B) of the reservoir lid to close it.
   

	The rinse aid adjustment is described under "Adjusting the amount of rinse aid" in the section for operating the machine.
	Wipe clean any spilled rinse aid outside the reservoir. Rinse aid that spilled accidentally will cause foaming and it will eventually decrease washing performance.

Items not suitable for washing in the dishwasher

• Never wash dishes soiled by cigarette ash, candle remnants, polish, dyestuff, chemicals, etc. in your dishwasher.
• Do not wash silverware and cutlery with wooden or bone stems, glued pieces, or pieces that are not resistant to heat, as well as copper and tinplated containers in the dishwasher.

Decorative prints of chinaware as well as aluminium and silver items may get discoloured or tarnished after washing in the dishwasher just as it happens in handwashing as well. Some delicate glass types and crystals may become dull in time. We strongly recommend you to check if the tableware you are going to purchase is suitable for washing especially in the dishwasher.

Placing the dishes into the dishwasher

You can use your dishwasher in the optimum way with respect to energy consumption and washing and drying performance only if you place the dishes in an orderly way.

• Wipe away any coarse food remnants (bones, seeds, etc.) on the dishes before placing them in the dishwasher.
• Place thin, narrow pieces in the middle sections of baskets if possible.
• Place the heavily soiled and bigger items in the lower basket and smaller, delicate and light items in the upper basket.
• Place the hollowed dishes such as bowls, glasses and pans upside down in the dishwasher. Thus, accumulation of water in deep hollows is prevented.

To prevent possible injuries, always place the sharp and pointed dishes such as service fork, bread knife, etc. upside down so as their pointed ends will face down or they will lie horizontally in the dish basket.

Unload dishes in the lower basket first and then the dishes in the upper basket.

Suggestions for loading the dishwasher

Improper Loading Of Dishware

Cutlery basket

(depends on model)
Cutlery basket is designed to wash your dishes such as knife, fork, spoon, etc. in an efficient manner. Since the cutlery basket can be moved (A, B), you can create more space while placing your dishes in the lower basket and free up space for your dishes of different sizes.

Upper basket rack

(depends on model)

Collapsible lower basket tines

(depends on model)
Foldable tines (A) located at the lower basket of the machine are designed for an easier placement of large pieces such as pans, bowls, etc. You can create larger spaces by folding each tines individually or all of them at once.

To bring the collapsible tines into horizontal position, grab the tines from mid position and push them in the directions of arrows (B). To bring the tines back to vertical position, just lift them up. Collapsible tines will click into the latch again (C).

Bringing the tines to the horizontal position by holding them from the tips may cause them to bend. Therefore, it will be appropriate to bring the tines in the middle to horizontal or vertical position by holding them from their stems and pushing in the direction of arrow.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

(depends on model)
The upper basket height adjustment mechanism has been designed for you to create large spaces in the lower or upper sections of your machine depending on your needs by adjusting the height in the upper or lower direction while your basket is empty or loaded.

• Salt leakage exists. >>> Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while adding salt. Make sure that the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after finishing the filling process. Run the prewash programme to remove the salt that spilled inside the machine. Since the salt granules that will remain under the lid will dissolve during prewash, causing the lid loosen, check the lid once again at the end of the programme.

There is a different odour in the machine

A new machine has a peculiar odour. It will fade out after a couple of washes.

• Filters are clogged. >>> Check if the filter system is clean. Clean the filter system regularly as illustrated in section "Cleaning and Care".
• Dirty dishes are kept in dishwasher for 2-3 days. >>> If you are not going to start the machine right after you have put the dishes into it, remove the remnants on the dishes and run the Prewash programme without detergent every 2 days. In such cases, do not close the door of the machine completely in order to avoid odour build up in machine. You can also use commercially available odour removers or machine cleaners.

Rust, discoloration or surface deterioration occurs on dishes

• Salt leakage exists. >>> Salt may cause deterioration and oxidation on metal surfaces. Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while adding salt. Make sure that the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after finishing the filling process. Run the prewash programme to remove the salt that spilled inside the machine. Since the salt granules that will remain under the lid will dissolve during prewash, causing the lid loosen, check the lid once again at the end of the programme.
• Salty food remnants have remained on dishes for a long time. >>> If cutlery soiled with such foods will be kept waiting in machine, dirt must be removed by prewash or dishes must be washed without being kept waiting.
• Electric installation is not grounded. >>>Check if your machine is connected to the actual grounding line. Otherwise, the static electric created in the product causes arcs on the surfaces of metal items creating pores, removing the protective cover on the surface and causing discoloration.
• Intensive cleansers such as bleaches are used. >>> Protective cover on metal surfaces gets damaged and looses its efficiency in time when it gets in contact with cleansers such as bleach. Do not wash your dishes with bleach.
• Metal items particularly knives are used for purposes other then their intended uses. >>> Protective cover on the edges of knives may get damaged when they are used for purposes such as opening cans. Do not use metal kitchen utensils out of their intended uses.
• Cutlery are made of low quality stainless steel. >>> Corrosion on such items is inevitable; they should not be washed in dishwashers.
• Kitchen utensils that are already corroded are washed in dishwasher. >>> Rust on a corroded item can migrate to other stainless steel surfaces and cause corrosion on those surfaces as well. Such items should not be washed in dishwashers.

Detergent remains in detergent dispenser.

• Detergent dispenser was damp when adding detergent. >>> Make sure that the detergent dispenser is dried well prior to filling it with detergent.
• Detergent is added long before the washing process. >>> Pay attention to add detergent shortly before start-up of the washing.
• Opening of the detergent dispenser lid is prevented during washing. >>> Place the dishes in a way that will not prevent the detergent dispenser lid from opening and the water going into the machine from impellers.
• Detergent is stored under unsuitable conditions. >>> If you are using powder detergent, do not store the detergent package in humid places. Keep it in a closed container if possible. For ease-of-storing, we recommend you to use tablet detergents.
• Impeller holes are clogged. >>> Lower and upper impeller holes might be clogged with food remnants such as lemon pips. Clean the impellers regularly as illustrated in section "Cleaning and Care".

Decorations and ornaments on kitchen utensils are being erased.

Decorated glasses and decorated lustre porcelains are not suitable for washing in the dishwasher. Manufacturers of some glassware and porcelain tableware items do not recommend washing such kitchen utensils in the dishwashers either.

Dishes are scratched.

Kitchen utensils that contains or are made of aluminium should not be washed in dishwasher.

• Salt leakage exists. >>> Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while adding salt. Spilled salt can cause scratches. Make sure that the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after finishing the filling process. Run the prewash programme to remove the salt that spilled inside the machine. Since the salt granules that will remain under the lid will dissolve during prewash, causing the lid loosen, check the lid once again at the end of the programme.
• Water hardness setting is low or salt level is insufficient >>> Measure the hardness of the supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting.
• Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine. >>> When placing the glasses and other glassware into the basket lean them not against other dishes but the edges or racks of the basket or the glass support tines. Striking of the glasses to each other or to other dishes due to the impact of water during washing can cause breaks, or scratches on their surfaces.

A smear remains on glasses that resembles milk stain which can not be removed when wiped by hand. A bluish / rainbow appearance occurs when the glass is pointed to light.

• Excessive rinse aid is used. >>>Lower rinse aid setting. Clean the spilled rinse aid when adding rinse aid.
• Corrosion has occurred on glass due to soft water. >>> Measure the hardness of the supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting. If your supply water is soft (<5 dH), do not use salt. Choose programmes that wash in higher temperatures (e.g. 60-65°C). You can also use glass protective detergents that are commercially available.

Foam forms in the machine.

• Dishes are washed with hand-wash detergent by hand but not rinsed before placing them into the machine. >>> Hand-wash detergents do not contain antifoam. There is no need to hand-wash the dishes before placing them into the machine. Removing the coarse soil on the dishes under tap water, with a tissue paper or fork will be sufficient.
• Rinse aid has spilled into the machine when adding rinse aid. >>> Take care that rinse aid is not spilled in the machine when you are filling it. Clean any spilled rinse ait with the help of a tissue paper/towel.
• Lid of the rinse aid reservoir is left open. >>> Make sure that the lid of the rinse aid reservoir is closed after adding rinse aid.

Kitchen utensils are broken.

• Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine. >>> Load the dishes as described in the user manual.
• Baskets are overloaded. >>> Do not overload the baskets in excess of their capacity.

Water remains in the dishwasher at the end of the programme.

• Filters are clogged. >>> Check if the filter system is clean. Clean the filter system regularly as illustrated in section "Cleaning and Care".
• Discharge hose is clogged/blocked. >>> Check the discharge hose. If necessary, remove the discharge hose, clear the blockage and insert is as illustrated in the user manual.
