Water softening system
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.
C
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.

• Machine is unloaded right after the programme is over. >>> 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. Start unloading process from the lower basket. Thus, dropping of water
remained on a piece at upper basket onto the pieces at lower basket is prevented.
• Selected programme is unsuitable. >>> 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.
• Surface quality of the kitchen utensils is deteriorated. >>> Desired washing performance
can not be obtained on kitchen utensils with deteriorated surfaces and it is not suitable
to use such utensils in terms of hygiene as well. Also, water can not flow easily on
deteriorated surfaces. It is not recommended to wash such kitchen utensils in dishwasher.
C
It is normal that drying complaints can be experienced with Teflon kitchen
utensils. It is associated with the structure of Teflon. Since the surface tensions
of Teflon and water are different, water droplets will remain as beads on the
Teflon surface.
Tea, cafe or lipstick stains remain on dishes.
• Selected programme is unsuitable. >>> Select a programme with a higher temperature
and cycle time.
• Surface quality of the kitchen utensils is deteriorated. >>> Tea and cafe stains or other
dye spots may not be cleaned in dishwasher when they have penetrated in deteriorated
surfaces. Desired washing performance can not be obtained on kitchen utensils with
deteriorated surfaces and it is not suitable to use such utensils in terms of hygiene as
well. It is not recommended to wash such kitchen utensils in dishwasher.
• Detergent is stored under unsuitable conditions. >>> If you are using powder detergent,
do not store the detergent package in humid places. Keep it in a closed container if
possible. For ease-of-storing, we recommend you to use tablet detergents.
Lime traces remain on dishes and glassware gains a misty appearance
• 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.
• Water hardness setting is low or salt level is insufficient >>> Measure the hardness of
the supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting.
• Salt leakage exists. >>> 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. Run the prewash programme to remove the salt that spilled inside the machine.
Since the salt granules that will remain under the lid will dissolve during prewash, causing
the lid loosen, check the lid once again at the end of the programme.
•
C A new machine has a peculiar odour. It will fade out after a couple of washes.
Filters are clogged. >>> Check if the filter system is clean. Clean the filter system
regularly as illustrated in section “Cleaning and Care”.
• Dirty dishes are kept in dishwasher for 2-3 days. >>> If you are not going to start the
machine right after you have put the dishes into it, remove the remnants on the dishes
and run the Prewash programme without detergent every 2 days. In such cases, do not
close the door of the machine completely in order to avoid odour build up in machine.
You can also use commercially available odour removers or machine cleaners.
Rust, discoloration or surface deterioration occurs on dishes
• Salt leakage exists. >>> Salt may cause deterioration and oxidation on metal surfaces.
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. Run the prewash
programme to remove the salt that spilled inside the machine. Since the salt granules
that will remain under the lid will dissolve during prewash, causing the lid loosen, check
the lid once again at the end of the programme.
• Salty food remnants have remained on dishes for a long time. >>> If cutlery soiled with
such foods will be kept waiting in machine, dirt must be removed by prewash or dishes
must be washed without being kept waiting.
• Electric installation is not grounded. >>>Check if your machine is connected to the
actual grounding line. Otherwise, the static electric created in the product causes arcs on
the surfaces of metal items creating pores, removing the protective cover on the surface
and causing discoloration.
• Intensive cleansers such as bleaches are used. >>> Protective cover on metal surfaces
gets damaged and looses its efficiency in time when it gets in contact with cleansers
such as bleach. Do not wash your dishes with bleach.
• Metal items particularly such as knives are used for purposes other then their intended
uses. >>> Protective cover on the edges of knives may get damaged when they are
used for purposes such as opening cans. Do not use metal kitchen utensils out of their
intended uses.
• Cutlery are made of low quality stainless steel. >>> Corrosion on such items is inevitable;
they should not be washed in dishwashers.
• Kitchen utensils that are already corroded are washed in dishwasher. >>> Rust on a
corroded item can migrate to other stainless steel surfaces and cause corrosion on those
surfaces as well. Such items should not be washed in dishwashers.
Detergent remains in detergent dispenser.
• Detergent dispenser was damp when adding detergent. >>> Make sure that the
detergent dispenser is dried well prior to filling it with detergent.
• Detergent is added long before the washing process. >>> Pay attention to add
detergent shortly before start-up of the washing.
• 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 you are using powder detergent,
do not store the detergent package in humid places. Keep it in a closed container if
possible. For ease-of-storing, we recommend you to use tablet detergents.
• Impeller holes are clogged. >>> Lower and upper impeller holes might be clogged with
food remnants such as lemon pips. Clean the impellers regularly as illustrated in section

adding salt. Spilled salt can cause scratches. Make sure that the salt reservoir lid is tightly
closed after finishing the filling process. Run the prewash programme to remove the salt

dissolve during prewash, causing the lid loosen, check the lid once again at the end of
the programme.

surfaces.

• Corrosion has occurred on glass due to soft water. >>> Measure the hardness of the

soft (<5 dH), do not use salt. Choose programmes that wash in higher temperatures (e.g.
60-65°C). You can also use glass protective detergents that are commercially available.

aid is not spilled in the machine when you are filling it. Clean any spilled rinse ait with the
