Tips for energy saving

Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy-efficient 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, refer to the "Programme Table".
• Do not put more detergent than suggested on the detergent package.

Water softening system

The dishwasher requires soft water. If the hardness of the water is above 6^ dH, the water must be softened and descaled. Otherwise, ions that create the hardness will accumulate on the surfaces of the dishes and may adversely affect the washing, shining and drying performances of the product.

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

Adjusting the water softening system

Washing performance will increase when water softening system is adjusted properly.

Use the test stripe supplied with the product to determine the supply water hardness in order to adjust the system.

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 in your product only the special softening salts produced particularly for use in dishwashers.

We recommend using granular or powder softening salts. Do not use salts containing insoluble substances such as table salt or common salt in the machine. Performance of water softening system may deteriorate in time.

Salt reservoir will fill with water when you start the product. Therefore, add the softening salt before starting the machine.

1. First take the lower basket out to add softening salt.

2. Turn the salt reservoir lid in counter clockwise to open it (A, B).

Before initial use, fill the water softening system with 1 litre of water (C).

1. Fill the salt reservoir with salt by using 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.

1. Replace the lid and tighten it securely when the reservoir is full.

1. If you will not start a washing programme immediately after adding the salt, run the machine empty in the shortest programme to dissolve and wash away the scattered salt in the machine.

i 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 or tablet detergent in the machine.

① Only use in the machine the detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers. We recommend you not to use detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate as they are harmful for the environment.

Contact the detergent producer if the dishes are wet and/or if you notice limescale spots particularly on glasses after the washing programme is over.

Adding detergent

i Refer to the "Programme Table" to determine the correct amount of detergent for the selected programme.

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).

1. Put suggested amount of powder or tablet detergent in the dispenser.

i Inside the detergent dispenser, there are level markings that help you use appropriate amount of detergent. When brimful, detergent dispenser will contain 40 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 (1).

If dishes have been waiting for a long time and have dried residues, fill the 5 ~cm^3 compartment too (5).

1. Close the detergent dispenser lid by pressing on it lightly. A

"click" will be heard when the lid is closed.

In programmes with prewash and at high temperature, in which you use tablet detergents, make sure that the detergent dispenser lid is closed firmly.
Use powder detergent in short programmes without prewash since the solubility of the tablet detergent changes depending on the temperature and time.
Excessive usage of powder detergents will cause the detergent not dissolve completely and will also cause scratches on the glassware.

Tablet detergents

Table detergents exhibit water softening and / or rinse aid effect in addition to detergent effect. Some types of these detergents also contain special-purpose washing chemicals such as glass and stainless steel protectors.

Illustration of a hand inserting a component into an open device case (no text or symbols visible)

i Tablet detergents give satisfying results only under certain usage conditions. The best washing performance in dishwashers is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt individually.

Information about suitable places (detergent dispenser, basket etc.) in the dishwasher to place the tablet can be found amongst the usage instructions on the packages of the tablet detergents.

Tablet detergent types commonly found in the market:

2in1: Contains detergent, rinse aid or water softening salt

3in1: Contains detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt

4in1: Contains glass protectors in addition to detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt

5in1: Contains glass and stainless steel protectors in addition to detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt

i Observe the instructions of the detergent manufacturer on the package when using tablet detergents.

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.
4. Make the appropriate rinse aid settings.
   Depending on the model, salt indicator and/or rinse aid indicator must be enabled again if they were disabled before.

Rinse aid

The rinse aid used in dishwashers is a special combination used to increase drying efficiency and prevent water or limescale 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.

Check Rinse Aid Indicator to determine whether it is necessary to add rinse aid or not 3 (depends on the model). Having a dark light on the indicator shows that there is sufficient amount of rinse aid in the dispenser. If the colour of the indicator is light, add rinse aid.

1. Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir by pressing its latch (B).

1. Fill the reservoir until "MAX" level.

2. Close the lid of the reservoir by pressing on it lightly.

i Wipe clean any spilled rinse aid outside the reservoir. Rinse aid that spilled accidentally will cause foaming and it will eventually decrease washing performance.

1. Turn the rinse aid amount adjuster manually to a position between 1 and 6 (4). If there are stains on tableware items after washing, level must be increased and if there is a blue trace after wiping them by hand, it must be decreased. This is set to position 4 as factory default.

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 iron alloy items in the dishwasher. It can get corroded or leave stains on other items.

- 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 tin-plated containers in the dishwasher.

i Decorative prints of chinaware as well as aluminum 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.
• There are two separate baskets in which you can place your dishes in the dishwasher. 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 on the dish baskets.

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

• 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.

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

Dishes are scratched.

i Kitchen utensils that contains or are made of aluminum 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 wire. 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 aid 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.
