• 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. Open the taps completely after making the connections to check for water leaks. If the Aquasafe+ system is damaged, unplug the product and call the authorised service agent.
• 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. 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 than hand dishwashing when 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, and table salt or rock salt should not be used. Replace and tighten the lid when the reservoir is full. 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 rates. Detergents used should be specifically made for dishwashers, avoiding those with chlorine and phosphate. 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.
• Page 17: Using detergent tablets. 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 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. Tablet detergents include 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 are effective up to a certain water hardness level (21°dH). Water softening salt and rinse aid must be used together with the detergent if the water hardness level is above the mentioned level. Make the appropriate rinse aid settings. The rinse aid used in dishwashers increases drying efficiency and prevents water or lime stains on washed items. Use rinse aids produced specifically for dishwashers only. The best washing performance is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid, and water softening salt individually. Contact the detergent manufacturer if your dishes are wet or if you notice limescale spots on your glasses after the washing program.
• Page 19: 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, especially 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 by hand, it must be decreased. Placing 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. Heavily soiled and bigger items should go in the lower basket, while smaller, delicate items should be placed in the upper basket. Hollowed dishes such as bowls and glasses should be placed upside down to prevent water accumulation. Never wash dishes soiled by cigarette ash, candle remnants, or chemicals in the dishwasher. Do not wash silverware and cutlery with wooden or bone stems, glued pieces, or those not resistant to heat. Always place sharp and pointed dishes upside down to prevent injuries. Unload dishes in the lower basket first, then the upper basket.

Make sure that the detergent dispenser lid is closed tightly after adding detergent. Dishes are not dry at the end of cycle Place your dishes in a way that no water will accumulate in them.
• Page 43: 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. For ease-of-storing, we recommend you to use tablet detergents. Check the rinse aid indicator and add rinse aid if necessary to avoid lime traces on dishes and glassware gaining a misty appearance. Measure the hardness of the supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting if lime traces remain. Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while adding salt. Run the prewash programme to remove the salt that spilled inside the machine.
• Page 44: 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. Clean the filter system 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. Make sure the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after filling. 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. Do not wash your dishes with bleach, as it damages the protective cover on metal surfaces. Do not use metal kitchen utensils for purposes other than their intended uses to prevent damage to protective covers. 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; such items should not be washed in dishwashers.
• Page 45: 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. Lower and upper impeller holes might be clogged with food remnants. Clean the impellers regularly. 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 glasses and other glassware into the basket, lean them against the edges or racks of the basket. Excessive rinse aid is used. Lower rinse aid setting and clean the spilled rinse aid when adding it. Corrosion has occurred on glass due to soft water. If your supply water is soft, do not use salt.
• Page 46: 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.
