• Page 13: Permitted water temperature: up to 25°C (60°C for products equipped with WaterProtect+). The dishwasher may not be connected to open warm water devices or flow-through water heaters. The WaterProtect+ 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 WaterProtect+ 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.

Drain pipe must be connected to the sewage system and it should not be connected to any surface water. Adjust the feet of the product if the door cannot be closed properly or if the product rocks.
• 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. Frequency of regeneration cycle, maximum additional duration, water, and energy consumption are provided in the table depending on Eco 50°C programme water consumption. Wipe away any coarse food remnants on the dishes before putting them in the product. Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended. Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water than hand dishwashing when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Operate the product after filling it completely. The product is equipped with a water softening system which reduces the hardness of incoming water. The mains water hardness must be softened if it is over 7°dH.
• 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 as they may deteriorate system performance. 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. You can use powder, liquid/gel, or tablet detergents specifically made for dishwashers. Avoid detergents containing chlorine and phosphate as they can be harmful to the environment.
• 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 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. 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 is over when using a tablet detergent.
• 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. Check if the tableware you are going to purchase is suitable for washing, especially in the dishwasher. If there are stains on tableware items after washing, the level must be increased. Placing the dishes in the dishwasher should be done in an orderly way for optimum energy consumption and washing performance. Wipe away any coarse food remnants on the dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. Never wash dishes soiled by cigarette ash, candle remnants, or chemicals in your dishwasher. Place hollowed dishes upside down in the dishwasher to prevent water accumulation. Unload dishes in the lower basket first and then the upper basket.
• Page 20: Suggestions for loading the dishwasher include proper techniques for arranging dishware. The lower basket is designed for larger items, while the upper basket is suitable for smaller, more delicate pieces. Improper loading of dishware can lead to ineffective cleaning and potential damage.
• Page 21: Cutlery basket is designed to wash your dishes such as knife, fork, spoon, etc. in an efficient manner. Since the cutlery basket can be moved, you can create more space while placing your dishes in the lower basket and free up space for your dishes of different sizes.
• Page 22: Collapsible lower basket tines are designed for easier placement of large pieces such as pans and bowls. You can create larger spaces by folding each tine individually or all of them at once. To bring the collapsible tines into horizontal position, grab the tines from mid position and push them in the direction of arrows. To bring the tines back to vertical position, just lift them up. Collapsible tines will click into the latch again when returned to vertical. Bringing the tines to the horizontal position by holding them from the tips may cause them to bend. It is appropriate to bring the tines to horizontal or vertical position by holding them from their stems.
• Page 23: To close the racks: Fold the rack. Slide the rack up. This accessory located at the lower basket of your machine allows you to easily wash pieces such as extra glasses, long ladles, and bread knives. Put the rack in vertical position. Slide the rack down and lock it by the tabs. You may open the racks in the same process in reverse order. To adjust the height of the racks: Fold the rack. Slide the rack up. Open the rack at the desired level. Make sure that the impeller does not touch the dishes you placed on the racks.
• Page 24: Upper basket multi-function service rack Thanks to the upper basket multi-function service rack, you may load and wash long service-ware and kitchen-ware easily. The wineglass securing compartments allow easier placing of the stemware with proper sizes on the upper basket. Use the height adjustable racks in the upper basket by sliding them down or up according to the heights of the glasses or cups. You can use collapsible wires when you need a larger space for your dishes in the upper basket. To bring the collapsible wires into horizontal position, grab the wire from the middle and push them in the direction of the arrow. You may remove the upper basket multi-function service rack by lifting it upwards when you do not want to use it. You may reinstall the upper basket multi-function service rack on the side of your upper basket easily. Bringing the wires to the horizontal position by holding them from the tips may cause them to bend. Hold the wires from their stems while bringing them to the horizontal or vertical positions.
• Page 25: Adjusting the height of the upper basket depends on the model. The upper basket height adjustment mechanism allows for creating wide spaces in the machine. You can use the basket in three different positions: lower, center, or upper. To lower the basket, hold the wires and raise the handle of the mechanism. The movement mechanism may not work properly if the upper basket is overloaded or unbalanced. Ensure that the adjustment mechanisms on both sides of the upper basket are aligned. To raise the basket, hold the wires and pull the basket upwards with both hands. Release the basket when it catches on to the next upper position with a click. Repeat the same operation if the height is not adequate. Adjusting the basket can be done while it is empty or full.
• Page 26: Ceiling cutlery basket is designed to wash your cutlery items such as forks, spoons, etc. by placing them between the bars on the basket. When the central tray is in the lower position, you can load long/high items such as coffee cups, ladles, etc. on the tray. When the side trays lean on two side walls, the handle can be pulled to allow the central tray to rise and the system to be locked. In models with partial movement feature, pushing the bar on the handle enables the central tray of the basket to get to the lower position and the system gets unlocked. Thus right and left side trays can be used as moving parts. The free space enabled by the side trays allows long parts to be loaded in the upper basket.
• Page 27: Operation of the product Ensure that lower and upper propellers are rotating freely. Read “Safety Instructions” section first. Add adequate amount of detergent in the detergent compartment. Do not touch machine screen with wet hands. Turn your machine on by pressing the On / Off key.

• Page 36: Rinse aid is not sufficient. Check the rinse aid indicator and add rinse aid if necessary. 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. 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 normal that drying complaints can be experienced with Teflon kitchen utensils. 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. Check the rinse aid indicator and add rinse aid if necessary for lime traces on dishes. 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.
• Page 37: 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 remnants is kept waiting 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. Detergent dispenser should be dried well prior to filling it with detergent.
• Page 38: 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. Corrosion has occurred on glass due to soft water. If your supply water is soft, do not use salt.
• Page 39: 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. 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. Make sure that the lid of the rinse aid reservoir is closed after adding rinse aid. Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine. Do not overload the baskets in excess of their capacity. Check if the filter system is clean.
