PREPARING FOR USE

Detergent usage

Use a detergent specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers. You can find powder, gel and tablet detergents in the market that have been designed for household dishwashers. Detergent should be put into the compartment prior to starting the machine. Keep your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of children. Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise it may cause scratches on your glasses as well as lead to a poorly dissolved detergent. Should you need more information concerning the detergent you will use, contact detergent manufacturers directly.

Filling the detergent compartment

Push the latch to open the detergent container as shown in the image

The Detergent pod has level lines inside. It is possible to measure the right detergent amount using these lines

The detergent pod can take a maximum of 40cm3 detergent.

Open the dishwasher detergent pod and pour 25cm3 if your dishes are heavily soiled or 15cm3 if they are less soiled.

To close the detergent container, push the cover as shown until it locks.

You may have to add more detergent into your machine, depending on the degree of soil and the water hardness in your area.

If your dishes are from the previous day and there is dried food waste on them, or if you have fully loaded the dishwasher, pour 5cm3 detergent onto the base of the door and start your machine

Combined detergent

Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents called “2 in 1”, “3 in 1” or “5 in 1” etc. “2 in 1” detergents contain detergent + rinse aid. When using “2 in 1” detergents make sure to check the specifications of the tablet.

Other tablet detergents contain detergent + rinse aid + various extra functions.

Generally, combined detergents produce suitable results under certain usage conditions only'

These detergents contain rinse aid and/or other additives in preset amounts.

Points to consider when using these type of products:

• Always make sure to check the specifications of the product you will use or whether or not it is a combined product.
• Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the hardness of mains water that machine relates to.
• Observe the instructions on packaging when using such products
• If such detergents are in the form of tablets, never put them into the interior section or the cutlery basket of the dishwasher. Always put the tablets into the detergent compartment in the detergent dispenser.
• They produce good results for certain types of usage only. If you are using this type of detergent, you need to contact the manufacturers and find out about the suitable conditions of use.
• When the conditions of use of such products and the machine settings are appropriate, they ensure savings in salt and/or rinse aid consumption.
• Contact the detergent manufacturer if you are not obtaining good wash results (if your dishes stay calcareous and wet) after having used 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 detergents.
• The scope of warranty for your machine does not cover any complaints caused by the use of these types of detergents.

Recommended usage:

For better results while using combined detergents, add rinse aid into your machine and adjust the rinse aid setting to the lowest position.

When you give up using combined detergents

• Fill the rinse aid compartment.
• Set the suitable rinse aid setting.

Filling with rinse aid and making the setting

To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the rinse-aid compartment cap.

Fill the compartment with rinse aid until MAX level and then close the cap.

Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills.

In order to set rinse aid level, follow below steps:

• Turn on the machine by pressing On/ Off button.
• Press Program button at least for 5” immediately after machine is turned on.
• Release Program button when “rA” is shown. Rinse aid level setting follows water hardness level setting. Next, the last setting level is viewed.
• Set the level by pushing the program button.
• Switch off the machine to save the setting.
• The factory setting is “4”.

If the dishes are not drying properly or are spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form on your dishes, decrease level.

LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

If your dishes are correctly placed in the dishwasher, you will be using it in the best way in terms of energy consumption, washing and drying performance

There are two separate baskets for you to load your dishes into your machine. You can load into the lower basket such round and deep items as pots with long handles, pot lids, plates, salad plates, cutlery sets.

The upper basket has been designed for tea plates, dessert plates, salad bowls, cups and glasses. When placing long-stem glasses and goblets, lean them against the basket edge, rack or glass supporter wire and not against other items. Do not lean long glasses against one another or they wont remain steady and can be damaged.

It is recommended that thin narrow items be placed into the middle sections of baskets. You can place spoons among the other cutlery sets in order to prevent them from sticking to one another, use the cutlery grid in order to obtain the best result.

To avoid any possible injuries, always place long-handle and sharp-pointed dishes such as serving fork or bread knife with their sharp points facing down or horizontally on the baskets.

Top basket cup rack

Height Adjustable Rack

These racks are designed to increase the capacity of the top basket. You can place your glasses and cups on the racks. You can adjust the height of these racks. Thanks to this feature, you can place different sizes of glasses under these racks.

Thanks to height adjustment plastics mounted on the basket, you can use your racks in two different heights. In addition, you can place long forks, knives and spoons on these racks laterally, so that they do not block the revolution of propeller.

Upper basket height adjustment while it is full

Basket height adjustment mechanism on the upper basket of your machine is designed to let you adjust the height of your upper basket (refer to diagram 1) upwards or (refer to diagram 2) downwards, without removing it from your machine when it is full, to create large spaces at the upper or bottom area of your machine as needed.

The basket of your machine is set to the upper position from the factory

In order to raise your basket, hold it from both sides and pull it upwards. In order to lower it, hold it from both sides again, pull upwards and then lower carefully.

Make sure that both sides are in the same position (up or down)

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Oil and lime may accumulate in the machine’s washing section. In case of such accumulation;

• Fill the detergent compartment without loading any dishes into the machine, select a program that runs at high temperature, and start the machine. If this is ineffective, use a specialty dishwasher cleaner available from most supermarkets.

Cleaning the seals in the machine door

• To clean any accumulated residues in the door seals, wipe the seals regularly by using a dampened cloth.

Cleaning the machine

• Clean the filters and spray arms at least once a week
• Unplug your machine and turn off its tap before starting the cleaning
• Do not use hard materials when cleaning your machine. Wipe with a fine cleaning material and a dampened cloth.

Filters

• Check if any food wastes have remained on the coarse and fine filters
• If any food wastes are left, remove the filters and clean them thoroughly under the water tap.

a. Micro Filter

b. Coarse Filter

c. Metal/Plastic Filter

To remove and clean the filter combination, turn it counter clockwise and take it out by lifting upwards. 1

Pull and remove the metal/plastic filter. 3

Then pull the coarse filter out of the micro filter. 2

Rinse it with lots of water under the tap. Refit the metal/plastic filter. Insert the coarse filter into the micro filter in away that the marks will correspond to one another. Attach micro filter into the metal/plastic filter and turn to the direction of arrow and it is locked when the arrow on micro filter can be seen from across. 4

• Never use your dishwasher without any filter
• Incorrect fitting of the filter will reduce the washing effectiveness
• Clean filters are very important in terms of the proper running of the machine.

Spray arms

Check whether or not the holes for the upper and lower spray arms are clogged. If there is any clogging, remove the spray arms and clean them under water.

You can remove the lower spray arm by pulling it upwards, while the upper spray arm nut can be removed by turning the nut to the left.

Be sure that the nut is perfectly tightened when refitting the upper spray arm.

Hose filter

Water is stopped by the inlet hose filter to avoid any damage to your machine because of any contamination (sand, clay, rust etc…) that might be occasionally carried in through the mains water supply or the indoor plumbing, and to forestall such issues as yellowing and formation of deposits after washing. Check the filter and the hose from time to time and clean them if necessary. To clean the filter, first turn off your tap and then remove the hose. After removing the filter from the hose, clean it under the tap. Insert the cleaned filter back into its place inside the hose. Refit the hose.
