Frequently Asked Questions - DDW 240 Defy

Why doesn't the dishwasher start?

Check if the power cable is plugged in, the fuse is not blown, the water supply is turned on, the door is closed properly, and the On/Off button is pressed.

Why are dishes not washed clean?

Ensure dishes are loaded correctly, the appropriate programme is selected, impellers rotate freely and are not clogged, filters are clean and installed correctly, baskets are not overloaded, and detergent is sufficient and fresh. Adjust rinse aid setting if needed.

How do I adjust the water hardness level?

With the Programme Selection Knob in 'Off', press and hold the Start/Pause/Cancel key and rotate the knob one step clockwise for 3 seconds. Then set the knob to the appropriate position for your water hardness (see table in manual) and press Start/Pause/Cancel to save.

How do I clean the filters?

Turn the micro filter and coarse filter assembly counterclockwise and pull out. Pull out the metal/plastic filter. Separate the coarse filter by pressing the pawls inward. Clean all filters under running water with a brush. Reassemble and ensure a 'click' sound when tightening.

Why is there foam inside the dishwasher?

Foam can occur if hand-wash detergent is used (pre-rinse dishes instead), rinse aid is spilled (clean spills), or the rinse aid lid is left open. Ensure only dishwasher-specific detergents and rinse aids are used.

How do I activate the Child Lock?

Press and hold the Child Lock key for 3 seconds. The Child Lock indicator illuminates. To deactivate, press and hold the same key again for 3 seconds.

Why are my glasses cloudy or have a bluish tint?

This may be due to excessive rinse aid (lower the setting) or soft water corrosion. If your water hardness is below 5°dH, do not use salt and select higher temperature programmes (60-65°C). Use glass-protective detergents.

How do I add salt to the water softener?

Remove the lower basket, open the salt reservoir lid counterclockwise. For initial use, add 1 litre of water first. Then fill with dishwasher salt using the funnel (max 2 kg). Close the lid tightly and run a short programme immediately to prevent corrosion.

Can I use tablet detergents?

Yes, but for best results, ensure salt and rinse aid reservoirs are full. Adjust water hardness setting accordingly. The Tablet Detergent function (if available) may improve drying performance. For water hardness above 21°dH, additional salt and rinse aid are recommended.

What items should not be washed in the dishwasher?

Avoid washing items soiled with cigarette ash, candle wax, polish, dyes, chemicals. Also, avoid wooden or bone-handled cutlery, glued items, heat-sensitive plastics, copper and tin-plated containers, and aluminium items. Delicate glass and crystal may become dull over time.

  • Install the product in a place close to the tap and the drain hole. Select the installation location by considering that it will not be changed after the connections are made.

Connecting water supply

We recommend attaching a filter on the house/apartment supply water inlet to protect the machine from damages that may arise from impurities (sand, dirt, rust, etc.) coming from the urban water supply system or from your own water system as well as to prevent complaints such as yellowing or sludge accumulation at the end of washing.

Permitted water temperature: up to 25°C (60°C for products equipped with Aquasafe+; please refer to Aquasafe+ section)

The dishwasher may not be connected to open warm water devices or flow-through water heaters.

• Do not use old or used water inlet hose on the new product. Use the new water inlet hose supplied with the product.
• Connect the water inlet hose directly to the water tap. Pressure coming from the tap should be minimum 0.3 and maximum 10 bars. If the water pressure exceeds 10 bars, a pressure relief valve should be installed in between.
• Open the taps completely after making the connections to check for water leaks.

Use a screw-on hose connector to connect the water inlet hose to a water tap with a 34 inch external thread. If required, use a filter insert to filter deposits from the pipes.

For your safety, close the water inlet tap completely after the washing programme is over.

Connection to the drain

Water discharge hose can directly be

connected to the drain hole or sink's drainage. The length of this connection must be min. 50 cm and max. 100 cm from the floor. A discharge hose longer than 4 meters causes dirty washing.

Initial use

Before starting to use the product, make sure that all preparations are made in accordance with the instructions in sections "Important safety instructions" and "Installation".

- To prepare the product to do the dishes, perform first operation in the shortest programme with detergent while the machine is empty. During the initial use, fill the salt reservoir with 1 litre of water prior to filling it with salt.

4 Preparation

There might be a small amount of water left in the product after factory quality control tests. This has no harm on the product.

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, 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.

aRemove the test strip from the packet.

bTurn on the tap and let the water run for about a minute.

cHold the test strip in the water for about a second.

cRemove the test strip from the water and shake it.

eWait for 1 minute.

fThe test strip shows you the hardness level.

After the determination of the water hardness:

1. While the Program Selection Knob is "Off", press and hold the Start / Pause / Cancel key and rotate the Program Selection Knob one step clockwise and keep the Start / Pause / Cancel key pressed for 3 seconds; the machine shall switch to regeneration setting mode after this period.
2. The regeneration level in the memory is illuminated for 5 seconds when you enter the regeneration setting mode.
3. For setting a new Water Hardness Level, bring the Program Selection Knob to the proper position for the hardness level of your mains water. (See Water Hardness Level Setting Table)
4. Press the Start / Pause / Cancel key to record the selected setting in the memory.
5. Bring the Program selection knob to "Off" position.

0. Level	0-5 0-4 0-8 1				The Washing light on the panel illuminates.
1. Level	6-9 5-7 9-13 1
2. Level	10-15 8-12	14-22 2			The Drying light on the panel illuminates.
3. Level	16-19 13-15	23-27 3			The End light on the panel illuminates.
4. Level	20-24 16-19	28-34 4			The Washing, Drying and End lights on the panel illuminate.
5. Level	25-62 20-50	35-90 5			The Washing, Drying and End lights on the panel flashes with intervals of 1 second.

After determining hardness level of the supply water:

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).

Mechanical device with rotating component and mechanical parts (no visible text or symbols)

1. Add 1 litre of water to salt reservoir of your machine only in initial use.
2. 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.

Close-up of a hand pouring liquid into a funnel-shaped container on a machine (no visible text or symbols)

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

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

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).

3D rendering of a device casing with labeled component A, showing internal structure and no visible text or symbols

1. Put suggested amount of powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergent in the reservoir.

Inside the detergent dispenser there are level markings that help you use appropriate amount of powder detergent. When brimful, detergent dispenser will contain 45 cm ^3 of detergent. Fill detergent up to 15 cm ^3 or 25 cm ^3 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.

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

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 special-purpose 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.

i	The best washing performance in dishwashers is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt individually.
i	Observe the instructions of the detergent manufacturer on the package when using tablet detergents.
i	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.
4. Make the appropriate rinse aid settings.

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.

1. 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 3 as factory default.

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 tin-plated 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.

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 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.
