Install the product at a place close to the tap and the drain hole. We recommend installing a filter at the water inlet in order to prevent dirt from damaging the machine or the dishes.
• Page 13: Permitted water temperature: up to 25°C (60°C for products equipped with Aquasafe+). The dishwasher may not be connected to open warm water devices or flow-through water heaters. The Aquasafe+ system protects against water leaks that may occur at the hose inlet. Water contact with the valve box of the system must be avoided to prevent damage to the electrical system. Do not use an old or used water inlet hose on the new product. Connect the water inlet hose directly to the water tap. Pressure coming from the tap should be 0.3 bars minimum and 10 bars maximum. The water supply and draining hoses must be securely fastened and remain undamaged. Never shorten or lengthen the hose with extension hoses. Open the taps completely after making the connections to check for water leaks.
• Page 14: Connection to the drain Water discharge hose can directly be connected to the drain hole or sink’s drainage. Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse complying with the values in the technical specifications table. Connection must comply with national regulations. Power cable plug must be easily accessible after installation. Plug in the product to a grounded socket which is protected by a fuse of 10 Amperes. The specified voltage must be equal to your mains voltage. Do not make connections via extension cables or multi-plugs. Damaged power cables must be replaced by the authorised service agent. 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. Otherwise, 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 the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Page 16: Adding salt is necessary for the water softening system to operate continuously at the same 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; do not use table salt or rock salt. Add salt right before starting the machine to prevent corrosion. The salt reservoir will fill with water when the product is started. Take the lower basket out to add softening salt. Different salt brands may have varying particle sizes, affecting dissolution time. Use only detergents specifically made for dishwashers, avoiding those with chlorine and phosphate. Add 1 liter of water to the salt reservoir only during the initial use.
• 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 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. 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. 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 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, as well as aluminum and silver items, may get discolored 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, 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. Placing the dishes in the dishwasher should be done in an orderly way to optimize energy consumption and washing performance. Wipe away any coarse food remnants on the dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. Place thin, narrow pieces in the middle sections of baskets if possible. 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. Place hollowed dishes upside down to prevent water accumulation. Do not wash silverware and cutlery with wooden or bone stems, glued pieces, or items not resistant to heat in the dishwasher. Always place sharp and pointed dishes upside down or lay them horizontally in the dish basket. Unload dishes in the lower basket first and then the upper basket.

• Page 42: 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 43: 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 the filter system regularly. 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 remnants is kept waiting, 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 issues. 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. Corrosion on low-quality stainless steel items is inevitable; they should not be washed in dishwashers. Ensure that the detergent dispenser is dry before filling it with detergent.
• Page 44: 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 the hardness level of the water is below 7°dH, there is no need to use salt in your dishwasher. If the water hardness is set to level 1, the Salt Indicator will light continuously even if salt is not necessary. Using salt when the hardness is set to level 1 will not consume salt and the lamp will not illuminate. When moving, set the water hardness level of your dishwasher again based on the new location's water hardness. The machine will display the most recent hardness level adjustment if it was adjusted previously.
