Installation

Refer to the nearest Authorised Service Agent for installation of your product. To make the product ready for use, make sure that the electricity, tap water supply and water drainage systems are appropriate before calling the Authorised Service Agent. If they are not, call a qualified technician and plumber to have any necessary arrangements carried out.

Preparation of the location and electrical, tap water and waste water installations at the place of installation is under customer's responsibility.

Installation and electrical connections must be carried out by the Authorised Service Agent. Manufacturer shall not be held liable for damages that may arise from procedures carried out by unauthorised persons.

Prior to installation, visually check if the product has any defects on it. If so, do not have it installed. Damaged products cause risks for your safety.

Make sure that the water inlet and discharge hoses are not folded, pinched or crushed while pushing the product into its place after installation or cleaning procedures.

When placing the product, pay attention not to damage the floor, walls, piping, etc. Do not hold the product from its door or panel to move it.

Appropriate installation location

• Place the product on a solid and flat floor that has sufficient load carrying capacity! The product must be installed on a flat surface in order for the door to be closed comfortably and securely.
• Do not install the product at places where temperature may fall below 0ºC.
• Place the product at least 1 cm away from the edges of other furniture.
• Place the product on a rigid floor.

Do not place it on a long pile rug or similar surfaces.

Do not place the product on the power cable.

• Make sure that you select a location that will allow you to load and unload the dishes in a fast and comfortable manner.
• Install the product in a place close to the tap and the drain hole. Select the installation location by considering that it will not be changed after the connections are made.

Connecting water supply

Not recommended to run with hot water.

We recommend attaching a filter on the house/apartment supply water inlet to protect the machine from damages that may arise from impurities (sand, dirt, rust, etc.) coming from the urban water supply system or from your own water system as well as to prevent complaints such as yellowing or sludge accumulation at the end of washing.

The incoming water temperature should not exceed 60°C.

If you plan to connect your machine to natural energy resources or to the central hot water supply, first check out the temperature values written on your water inlet hose to make sure that it is suitable for such usage. If your hose is not suitable, apply to your Authorised Service Agent to have it changed.

• Do not use old or used water inlet hose on the new product. Use the new water inlet hose supplied with the product.
• Connect the water inlet hose directly to the water tap. Pressure coming from the tap should be minimum 0.3 and maximum 10 bars. If the water pressure exceeds 10 bars, a pressure relief valve should be installed in between.

Use a screw-on hose connector to connect the water inlet hose to a water tap with a ¾ inch external thread. If required, use a filter insert to filter deposits from the pipes.

• Open the taps completely after making the connections to check for water leaks.

For your safety, close the water inlet tap completely after the washing programme is over.

Connection to the drain

Water discharge hose can directly be connected to the drain hole or sink’s drainage. The length of this connection must be min. 50 cm and max. 100 cm from the floor.

A discharge hose longer than 4 meters causes dirty washing.

Attach the water discharge hose to the drainpipe without bending it. Tightly fix the water discharge hose to the drainpipe in order to prevent any dislocation of the water discharge hose during operation of the product.

Drainpipe must be connected to the sewage system and it should not be connected to any surface water.

Adjusting the feet

Prewashing

Tips for energy saving

Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy-efficient manner.

• Wipe away any coarse food remnants on the dishes before putting them in the product.
• Operate the product after filling it completely.
• When selecting a programme, refer to the “Programme Table”.
• Do not put more detergent than suggested on the detergent package.

Detergent

You can use powder or tablet detergent in the machine.

Only use in the machine the detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers. We recommend you not to use detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate as they are harmful for the environment.

Contact the detergent producer if the dishes are wet and/or if you notice limescale spots particularly on glasses after the washing programme is over.

Adding detergent

Refer to the “Programme Table” to determine the correct amount of detergent for the selected programme.

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 as illustrated below.

1. Push the latch to right to open the detergent dispenser lid (A)

2. Put suggested amount of powder or tablet detergent in the dispenser.

Inside the detergent dispenser, there are level markings that help you use appropriate amount of detergent. When brimful, detergent dispenser will contain 40 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 (1).

If dishes have been waiting for a long time and have dried residues, fill the 5 cm³ compartment too (5).

3. Close the detergent dispenser lid by pressing on it lightly. A “click” will be heard when the lid is closed.

In programmes with prewash and at high temperature, in which you use tablet detergents, make sure that the detergent dispenser lid is closed firmly.

Use powder detergent in short programmes without prewash since the solubility of the tablet detergent changes depending on the temperature and time.

Excessive usage of powder detergents will cause the detergent not dissolve completely and will also cause scratches on the glassware.

Rinse aid

The rinse aid used in dishwashers is a special combination used to increase drying efficiency and prevent water or limescale stains on the washed items. For this reason, care must be paid to have rinse aid in the rinse aid reservoir and to use rinse aids produced specially for dishwashers only.

Check Rinse Aid Indicator to determine whether it is necessary to add rinse aid or not (3). Having a dark light on the indicator shows that there is sufficient amount of rinse aid in the dispenser. If the colour of the indicator is light, add rinse aid.

1. Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir by pressing its latch (B).

2. Fill the reservoir until “MAX” level.

3. Close the lid of the reservoir by pressing on it lightly.

Wipe clean any spilled rinse aid outside the reservoir. Rinse aid that spilled accidentally will cause foaming and it will eventually decrease washing performance.

4. Turn the rinse aid amount adjuster manually to a position between 1 and 6 (4). If there are stains on tableware items after washing, 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 4 as factory default.

Items not suitable for washing in the dishwasher

• Never wash dishes soiled by cigarette ash, candle remnants, polish, dyestuff, chemicals, etc. in your dishwasher.
• Do not wash iron alloy items in the dishwasher. It can get corroded or leave stains on other items.
• Do not wash silverware and cutlery with wooden or bone stems, glued pieces, or pieces that are not resistant to heat, as well as copper and tin-plated containers in the dishwasher.

Decorative prints of chinaware as well as aluminum and silver items may get discoloured or tarnished after washing in the dishwasher just as it happens in handwashing as well. Some delicate glass types and crystals may become dull in time. We strongly recommend you to check if the tableware you are going to purchase is suitable for washing especially in the dishwasher.

Placing the dishes into the dishwasher

You can use your dishwasher in the optimum way with respect to energy consumption and washing and drying performance only if you place the dishes in an orderly way.

• Wipe away any coarse food remnants (bones, seeds, etc.) on the dishes before placing them in the dishwasher.
• Place thin, narrow pieces in the middle sections of baskets if possible.
• There are two separate baskets in which you can place your dishes in the dishwasher. Place the heavily soiled and bigger items in the lower basket and smaller, delicate and light items in the upper basket.
• Place the hollowed dishes such as bowls, glasses and pans upside down in the dishwasher. Thus, accumulation of water in deep hollows is prevented.

To prevent possible injuries, always place the sharp and pointed dishes such as service fork, bread knife, etc. upside down so as their pointed ends will face down or they will lie horizontally on the dish baskets.

• Unload dishes in the lower basket first and then the dishes in the upper basket.
