Drain pipe must be connected to the sewage system and it should not be connected to any surface water. If the door of the product cannot be closed properly or if the product rocks when you push it slightly, then you need to adjust the feet of the product.
• Page 15: Read “Quick Guide - Adjusting Water Softening System” before this section. The regeneration of the water softening system can be done in all programmes during the drying step. When regeneration occurs, duration, energy, and water consumption of the programme increase. 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. Hardness ions will accumulate on the dishes that are washed and may affect the washing, rinsing, and drying performances of the machine. Washing performance will increase when the water softening system is adjusted properly. Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy-efficient manner. Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water in the use phase than hand dishwashing when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Page 16: Adding salt is essential for the water softening system to operate continuously at optimal performance. Use only special softening salts designed for dishwashers. About 2 kg of softening salt can be added to the salt reservoir. Granule- or powder-formed softening salts are recommended; avoid table salt or rock salt. Replace and tighten the lid after filling the reservoir. Add salt right before starting the machine to prevent corrosion. The salt indicator may remain on for a while after adding salt due to varying dissolution times. Detergents can be in powder, liquid/gel, or tablet form, specifically made for dishwashers. Avoid detergents with chlorine and phosphate as they can harm the environment. Liquid detergents without chlorine may not effectively remove tea and coffee stains. Add 1 liter of water to the salt reservoir only during initial use. Use a salt funnel to fill the reservoir and stir to speed up salt dissolution.
• Page 17: 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. Push the latch to the right to open the detergent dispenser lid. Put the suggested amount of powder, liquid/gel, or tablet detergent in the reservoir. Inside the detergent dispenser, there are level markings that help you use the appropriate amount of powder detergent. When brimful, the detergent dispenser will contain 45 cm³ of detergent. Fill detergent up to 15 cm³ or 25 cm³ level marks according to the fullness of the machine and/or soiling degree of the dishes. One tablet is enough if you are using detergent tablets. Use powder or liquid/gel detergent in short programmes without prewash. The solubility of the tablet detergent changes depending on the temperature and time.
• Page 18: After the empty washing cycle, review the user manual and readjust the water hardness level to suit the water supply. In addition to conventional tablet detergents, there are 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. Water softening salt and rinse aid must also be used together with the detergent if the water hardness level is above 21°dH. 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. Care must be paid to have rinse aid in the rinse aid reservoir and to use rinse aids produced specially for dishwashers only. 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. When switching to powder detergent from tablet detergent, make sure that salt and rinse aid reservoirs are full.
• Page 19: Slightly press the point of the reservoir lid to close it. Decorative prints of chinaware and aluminium and silver items may get discoloured or tarnished after washing in the dishwasher. Some delicate glass types and crystals may become dull over time. It is recommended to check if the tableware is suitable for washing in the dishwasher. If there are stains on tableware items after washing, the level must be increased. Placing the dishes in an orderly way optimizes energy consumption and washing performance. Wipe away any coarse food remnants on the dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. Place heavily soiled and bigger items in the lower basket and smaller, delicate items in the upper basket. Never wash dishes soiled by cigarette ash, candle remnants, or chemicals in your dishwasher. Always place sharp and pointed dishes upside down to prevent injuries.

Prior to starting the programme, turn the lower and upper impellers by hand to make sure that they rotate freely. Clean the impellers regularly as illustrated in section “Cleaning and Care”. Check if the filter system is clean. Do not overload the baskets in excess of their capacity. If you are using powder detergent, do not store the detergent package in humid places. Adjust the amount of detergent according to the soiling degree of your dishes and/or programme definitions. Check the rinse aid indicator and add rinse aid if necessary. Dishes are not dry at the end of cycle Place your dishes in a way that no water will accumulate in them.
• Page 41: Rinse aid is not sufficient. Check the rinse aid indicator and add rinse aid if necessary. Increase the rinse aid setting if there is enough amount of rinse aid in the machine. Do not unload your machine right after washing process is completed. Slightly open the door and wait for evacuation of the steam inside for a while. Unload the dishes after the pieces cool down to a touchable level. Since rinsing temperature is low at programmes with short duration, drying performance will also be low. Select programmes with longer duration for a higher drying performance. Desired washing performance cannot be obtained on kitchen utensils with deteriorated surfaces and it is not suitable to use such utensils in terms of hygiene. It is not recommended to wash such kitchen utensils in the dishwasher. It is normal that drying complaints can be experienced with Teflon kitchen utensils. Water droplets will remain as beads on the Teflon surface. Select a programme with a higher temperature and cycle time for tea, coffee, or lipstick stains. If you are using powder detergent, do not store the detergent package in humid places. Keep it in a closed container if possible. Measure the hardness of the supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting. 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.
• Page 42: There is a different odour in the machine. A new machine has a peculiar odour that will fade out after a couple of washes. Check if the filter system is clean and clean it regularly as illustrated in section “Cleaning and Care.” If dirty dishes are kept in the dishwasher for 2-3 days, remove remnants and run the Prewash programme without detergent every 2 days. Salt leakage may cause deterioration and oxidation on metal surfaces. If cutlery soiled with salty food remains in the machine, dirt must be removed by prewash or dishes must be washed immediately. Check if your machine is connected to the actual grounding line to avoid static electricity causing discoloration. Intensive cleansers such as bleaches can damage the protective cover on metal surfaces. Do not use metal kitchen utensils for purposes other than their intended uses to prevent damage. Corrosion on low-quality stainless steel items is inevitable; they should not be washed in dishwashers. Rust on corroded items can migrate to other stainless steel surfaces, causing further corrosion.
• Page 43: 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. Detergent is stored under unsuitable conditions. If you are using powder detergent, do not store the detergent package in humid places. Impeller holes are clogged. Clean the impellers regularly as illustrated in section “Cleaning and Care”. Decorated glasses and decorated lustre porcelains are not suitable for washing in the dishwasher. Kitchen utensils that contain or are made of aluminium should not be washed in the dishwasher. Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while adding salt. Spilled salt can cause scratches. Measure the hardness of the supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting. When placing the glasses and other glassware into the basket, lean them not against other dishes but the edges or racks of the basket. Excessive rinse aid is used. Lower rinse aid setting and clean the spilled rinse aid when adding rinse aid. Corrosion has occurred on glass due to soft water. If your supply water is soft (<5 dH), do not use salt.
• Page 44: 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. Rinse aid has spilled into the machine when adding rinse aid. Lid of the rinse aid reservoir is left open. Kitchen utensils are broken. Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine. Baskets are overloaded. Water remains in the dishwasher at the end of the programme. Filters are clogged. Discharge hose is clogged/blocked.
