• Page 15: End of Program indicator will light up when the washing program is over. You can use powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergents in the machine. Only use detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers. Do not use detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate as they are harmful for the environment. Pay attention to the warnings on the detergent packaging to get better washing and drying results. Leave your dishes in the machine for about 15 minutes to allow them to cool down after they are washed. Do not put solvents into the detergent dispenser. If mains water is cut or water inlet tap is turned off, the machine cannot take water in. If the machine intakes too much water or there is leakage, the machine will detect this and activate safety algorithms. Inside the detergent dispenser, there are level markings that help you use the appropriate amount of powder detergent.
• Page 16: Push the lid of the detergent dispenser to close it. A click will be heard when the lid is closed. Make sure rinse aid reservoir is full. 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. Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir with the help of the latch. Fill the reservoir until “MAX” level. Use powder or liquid/gel detergent in short programs without prewash since the solubility of the tablet detergent changes depending on the temperature and time. The best washing performance in dishwashers is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid, and water softening salt individually. If there are stains on tableware items after washing, level must be increased. Wipe clean any spilled rinse aid outside the reservoir to prevent foaming and decreased washing performance.
• Page 17: 8.3 Cleaning the filters Clean the filters at least once a week for efficient operation. If there is food residue on filters, take them out and clean well under running water.
