PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

PRIOR TO USING THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Check whether the electricity and water supply specifications match the values indicated by the installation instructions for the machine.
• Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.
• Fill the rinse aid compartment

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 your children. Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise it may etch your glasses as well as leaving undissolved detergent in the dishwasher. Should you need more information concerning the detergent you will use, contact detergent manufacturers directly.

FILLING THE DETERGENT COMPARTMENT

1. Push the latch to open the detergent container as shown in image 1.
   
2. Detergent compartment has level lines inside. It is possible to measure the right detergent amount using these lines. Detergent compartment (A) can take 40 gm of detergent. Open the dishwasher detergent and pour into the larger compartment 25 gm if your dishes are heavily soiled or 15 gm if they are less soiled.
   

If your dishes have been kept dirty for a very long time, if there are dried food wastes on them, and if you have fully loaded the dishwasher, pour 5 gm detergent into the prewash compartment (B) and start your machine.

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

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 or rinse aid. When using “2 in 1” detergent make sure to check the specifications of the tablet.

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

Generally, combined detergents produce acceptable results under certain usage conditions only. Such detergents contain rinse aid in preset amounts.

Points to consider when using these type of products:

• Always make sure to check the specifications of the detergent you will use or whether or not it is a combined detergent
  Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the hardness of mains water.
• Observe the instructions on packaging when using such products.
• If 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.
• Tablets produce good results for certain types of usage only. If you are using this type of detergent, you need to contact the manufacturer 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 rinse aid consumption.
• Contact the detergent manufacturers if you are not obtaining good wash results (if your dishes have limescale and stay 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: If you want to obtain better results while using combined detergents, add rinse aid into your machine and adjust the water softener setting and the rinse aid setting to the lowest position.

Solubility of the tablet detergents produced by different companies can vary depending on the temperature and time. Therefore, it is not recommended to use these detergents in short programs. It is more suitable to use powder detergents in short programs.

WARNING Should any problem, which you have not encountered before, occur with the use of these type of detergents, contact the detergent manufacturers directly.

WHEN YOU STOP USING COMBINED DETERGENTS

• Fill the rinse aid compartments.
• Select a suitable rinse aid setting.

FILLING WITH RINSE AID AND MAKING THE SETTING

Rinse aid is used to improve the drying of the wash load and reduce the deposit of cloudy drops and streaks on glasses and dishware. For this reason, care should be taken that there is adequate amount of rinse aid in the rinse aid compartment and only rinse aid produced for use in dishwashers should be used.

If the rinse aid lamp on the control panel illuminates, fill the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid.

1. To put in rinse aid, remove the rinse aid compartment cap by turning it.
   
2. Fill the rinse aid compartment with rinse aid until the rinse aid level indicator becomes dark; refit the cap by locating the locking pins and close it by turning in the opposite direction. By checking the rinse aid level indicator on the detergent dispenser, you can understand whether or not your machine needs rinse aid. A dark indicator means that there is rinse aid in the compartment, while a light indicator shows that you need to fill the compartment with rinse aid.
   
3. The rinse aid level adjuster can be set to a position between 1 and 6. Factory setting for rinse aid is position. You need to increase the setting of the adjuster if water stains form on your dishes after a wash, whereas you need to decrease the setting if a blue stain is left when wiped by hand. (3)
   

TIPS AND INFORMATION

Only use rinse aid suitable for automatic dishwashers. As rinse aid residues left as a result of overflowing will create extremely high amounts of foam and reduce the washing performance, remove the excess amount of rinse aid by wiping it with a rag. Remove all excess rinse aid if spilt while filling,

LOADING YOUR DiSHWASHER

Correctly loaded dishes will result in the best 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 round and deep items as pots with long handles, pot lids, plates, salad plates and 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 support wire and not against other items. Do not lean long glasses against one another if they are unsupported, they may break. It is more appropriate to locate the thin narrow parts 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. You are recommended to use the cutlery grid in order to obtain the best result. To avoid any possible injuries, always place such long-handle and sharp-pointed items such as serving forks, bread knives etc. with their sharp points facing down or horizontally on the baskets.

TIPS AND INFORMATION

Ensure the position of the dishware does not prevent the upper or lower spray arm from turning.

Top basket cup 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. The cup racks can be adjusted to 3 height positions. In addition, you can place long forks, knives and spoons on these racks laterally, so that they do not block the revolution of the spray arm.

Top basket folding supports

Foldable racks on the upper basket are designed in order to let you place big items easier such as pots, pans, etc.

If requested, each part can be folded separately, or all of them can be folded and larger spaces can be obtained. You can use foldable racks by raising them upwards,or by folding down.

Top basket height adjustment while it is full

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

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 lower carefully.

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

UPPER CUTLERY BASKET

The upper cutlery basket is designed for you to place forks, spoons and knives, long dippers and small items.

Because it can easily be taken out of the machine, it allows your dishes to be taken out of the machine along with the basket after washing.

The upper cutlery basket is composed of two pieces. If you need to make space for the dishes in the upper basket, you can take out the left or right part of the upper cutlery basket in order to obtain more space.

WARNING Knives and other sharp objects must be placed horizontally in the cutlery basket.

LOWER BASKET FOLDING RACKS

Folding racks consisting of four parts that are located on the lower basket of your machine are designed in order to let you place big items easier such as pots, pans, etc. If required, each part can be folded separately, or all of them can be folded and larger spaces can be obtained. You can use folding racks by raising them upwards, or by folding down.

ALTERNATE CUTLERY BASKET

An alternate cutlery basket has been provided for convenience. The cutlery basket handle is adjustable -position (a) or (b). The basket can be used in the upper or lower dishwasher basket as required.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the machine in regular intervals prolongs the machine's service life.

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

Fill the detergent compartment with detergent without loading any dishes into the machine, select a program that runs at high temperature, and start the machine. Alternatively, use descaling material available in the market. (Dishwasher cleaners produced by detergent manufacturers.)

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 abrasive 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.

1. Micro Filter
2. Coarse Filter
3. Metal/Plastic Filter

1. To remove and clean the filter combination, turn it counter clockwise and take it out by lifting upwards.
2. Pull and remove the metal/plastic filter.
3. Then pull the coarse filter out of the micro filter. Rinse it with water under the tap. Refit the metal/plastic filter. Insert the coarse filter into the micro filter in a way that the marks will correspond to one another.
4. Attach microfilter 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.
5. Never use your dishwasher without any filter.
6. Incorrect fitting of the filter will reduce the washing effectiveness.
7. 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

The inlet hose filter reduces contamination (sand, clay, rust etc.) that might be occasionally carried in through the main's water supply or the indoor plumbing, and avoids damage to dishwasher components. 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 and check that there are no leaks.
