5 Installation
Read the ‘Safety Instructions’ sec-
tion first!
The preparation of the electrical, clean wa-
ter and waste water installation of the
place where the product will be placed is
under the responsibility of the customer.
Before calling the authorised service to
make the product ready for use, if the elec-
trical installation, clean water installation
and water drainage are not suitable, call a
qualified electrician and plumber to make
the necessary arrangements.
Installation and electrical connec-
tions must be carried out by the au-
thorised service. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for any
damages that may arise from the
operations performed by unauthor-
ised persons.
Before installing the product, in-
spect the product for any damage.
Do not install the product if it is
damaged. Damaged products pose
a danger to your safety.
For free-standing and under-
counter models, do not remove the
kick plate of the appliance. This will
void the warranty.
When placing the product in place after
installation or cleaning, make sure that
the water inlet and drain hoses are not
folded, pinched or broken.
Be careful not to damage the floor, wall,
pipes, etc. when placing the product. Do
not hold the door or panel to move the
product.
5.1 Correct location for installation
There must not be any lockable, sliding or
hinged doors in the place where the
product is installed, which would restrict
the full opening of the door.
Place the product on a solid and level
surface with sufficient load-bearing capa-
city! Placing the dishwasher on a level
surface is essential for the door to close
properly and tightly.
Do not install the product in places where
the temperature drops below 0 ºC.
Place the product on a hard floor. Do not
place it on a long-pile carpet or similar
surface.
Choose a place where you can load and
unload the dishes easily and quickly.
Place the product close to the tap and
drain. Choose the location of the product
in such a way that you do not change it
after it has been connected.
Do not place the product on the
power cable. The cable may be
damaged, causing a risk of electric
shock or fire.
5.2 Connecting to the water supply
To prevent dirt (sand, clay, rust, etc.) from
the city network or your water supply sys-
tem from damaging the dishwasher and
your dishes, we recommend installing a fil-
ter on the water inlet.
Maximum allowable water inlet temperat-
ure:
With AquAvoid feature containing mod-
els, it is 60 °C.
Up to 25 °C for other models.
background
EN / 14
The dishwasher must not be connected to
warm water appliances or running water
heaters.
NOTICE Do not use an old or used water in-
let hose on a new product. Use the new wa-
ter inlet hose supplied with the dishwasher.
Do not splice the hoses.
NOTICE Connect the water inlet hose dir-
ectly to the water tap. The pressure sup-
plied from the tap must be at least 0.3 and
no more than 10 bar. If the water pressure
exceeds 10 Bar, a pressure reducing valve
must be installed.
NOTICE The water supply and drain hose
must be securely fastened and undam-
aged.
NOTE After making the connections, open
the tap fully and check for water leaks.
5.3 Connecting to the water drain
The water drain hose can be connected dir-
ectly to the waste water drain or to the
drain of the sink. For more detailed inform-
ation, refer to the installation instructions
supplied with your dishwasher.
The waste water drain must be connected
to the sewer and must not be connected to
surface water.
5.4 Adjusting the feet
If the door of the product does not close
properly or shakes when you push it gently
with your hand, this means that the feet are
not adjusted. Adjust the feet of the product
as shown in the installation manual sup-
plied with the product.
Hot steam may escape if the dish-
washer door is not adjusted prop-
erly. Serious burns can cause injury
and damage your furniture.
5.5 Electricity connection
Connect the product to a grounded
socket protected by a fuse in ac-
cordance with the values in the
"Technical specifications" table.
Our company shall not be respons-
ible for any damages that may oc-
cur if the product is used without
grounding in accordance with local
regulations.
The connection must comply with na-
tional regulations.
The plug of the power cord must be eas-
ily accessible following the installation.
Connect the product to a grounded
socket protected by a 16 ampere fuse.
The specified voltage must be equivalent
to your mains voltage.
Do not connect with extension
cords or multiple sockets.
A damaged power cord must be re-
placed by authorised service.

6 Preparation
Read the ‘Safety Instructions’ sec-
tion first!
6.1 Considerations for energy sav-
ing
The following information will help you to
use the product in an ecological and en-
ergy-saving way.
Remove all coarse waste before placing the
dishes in the dishwasher.
It is not recommended to pre-clean
the dishes before loading them into
the dishwasher as this will con-
sume energy and water.
Washing the dishes in the dish-
washer consumes less energy and
water than washing them by hand.
Start the dishwasher after it is fully loaded.
Pay attention to the "Cycle Information and
Average Consumption Table" when select-
ing a cycle.
Do not use more detergent than recom-
mended on the detergent packaging.
6.2 Water softening system
The dishwasher is equipped with a special
water softening system that reduces the
hardness of the mains water. This system
softens the water to the level required for
washing dishes to the desired quality.
Mains water must be softened if its
hardness is above 7°dH. Otherwise
hardness ions will accumulate on
the washing utensils and may af-
fect the washing, rinsing and drying
performance of the dishwasher.
Setting the water softening system
Washing efficiency will be improved when
the water softening system is set correctly.
Read the section on adjusting the water
softening system first.
Regeneration of the water softening sys-
tem can take place in all cycles during the
drying step. When regeneration is per-
formed, the duration of the cycle, energy
and water consumption are increased. For
the regeneration process, the table below
shows the frequency of the regeneration
process, maximum additional time, water
and energy consumption depending on the
water consumption for the Eco 50 °C cycle
when the dishwasher is operated under
standard conditions with a water supply of
14 dH.

For water consumption in the Eco 50 °C
cycle of your dishwasher, refer to the Cycle
Information and Average Consumption Val-
ues Table given in the Cycle Table.
6.3 Setting the Water Softening
System
Setting the water softening system cor-
rectly will improve your dishwasher’s wash-
ing, rinsing, and drying performance.

Table1: Water Hardness Level Setting
Table
Using a flat head screwdriver, turn the re-
generation setting switch to the same posi-
tion as the hardness level you set on the
control panel. For example, if the setting on
the control panel is 3, turn the regeneration
setting switch to 3.
If the hardness of the water you use is
above 50°dH (French hardness) or if you
use well water, you should use filters and
water purifiers.
If the hardness of the water you use is
below 7°dH, you do not need to use salt
in your dishwasher. In this case, the "Low
Salt Indicator Light" on your dishwasher
control panel will be on continuously.
If your water hardness setting is at level
1, the "Low Salt Indicator Light" will re-
main on continuously even though you
do not need to use salt. If you do add salt
in this position, the salt will not be con-
sumed and the lamp will not come on.
NOTICE!If you move house, you may
need to adjust the water hardness set-
ting of your dishwasher again according
to the water hardness of the place you
move to, taking into account the inform-
ation given above. If the water hardness
setting of your dishwasher has been ad-
justed before, the last water hardness
setting will be displayed on your dish-
washer’s display panel.

Mechanical Water Hardness Adjustment
The glassware care setting is used to alter
the hardness of the pre-softened wash wa-
ter in the dishwasher. Make the adjustment
according to the water hardness setting.
Make the adjustment using a wide, flat
screwdriver. Use the screwdriver to turn the
mechanical glassware care adjustment
switch. Simply turn the mechanical switch
to the same position as the water hardness
setting.
For example,
Set the Mechanical Glassware Care adjust-
ment switch to position 3 for water hard-
ness setting "r3"
Set the Mechanical Glassware Care adjust-
ment switch to position 4 for water hard-
ness setting "r4"
6.4 Filling the salt
The water softening system must be re-
newed in order for the dishwasher to oper-
ate at the same performance at all times.
Dishwasher salt is used for this purpose.
Only use special softening salt for
use in dishwashers.
It is recommended to use granu-
lated or powdered softening salts in
the water softening system. Do not
use salts such as table salt and
rock salt that do not dissolve com-
pletely in water. Otherwise, the per-
formance of the system may deteri-
orate over time.
The salt compartment fills with wa-
ter when you switch on the dish-
washer. Therefore, fill the salt com-
partment before starting the dish-
washer.
1. Initially remove the lower basket to
load softening salt.
2. Open the salt compartment lid by turn-
ing it anti-clockwise (A).
3. Only add 1 litre of water to the salt
compartment when using your dish-
washer for the first time.
4. Fill the salt compartment with salt (D).
Stir with a spoon to speed up the dis-
solution of the salt in the water.
You can put approx. 2 kg of soften-
ing salt in the salt compartment.
1. When the compartment is full, replace
the lid and close by turning.
background
EN / 18
Adding salt should be performed
just before starting the dishwasher.
In this way, the overflowing brine is
cleaned immediately and the risk of
corrosion inside the dishwasher is
prevented. If you are not going to
wash immediately, run the dish-
washer empty and without deter-
gent in the shortest cycle.
Depending on the different salt
particle sizes of different brands on
the market and the water hardness,
it may take several hours for the
salt to dissolve in the water. For
this reason, the "Salt Shortage
Warning Indicator" will remain on
for a certain period of time after the
salt is filled into the dishwasher.
6.5 Detergent
You can use powder, liquid / gel and tablet
detergent in the dishwasher.
Use only detergents intended for
use in dishwashers. We recom-
mend that you do not use deter-
gents containing chlorine and phos-
phates as these are harmful to the
environment.
Filling the detergent
For good washing and drying results, ob-
serve the instructions on the detergent
packaging. Contact the detergent manufac-
turer for further questions.
Do not put solvents in the detergent
compartment. There is a risk of ex-
plosion!
Put the detergent in the detergent compart-
ment as follows immediately before start-
ing the dishwasher.
1. Open the detergent compartment door
by pushing the latch to the right (A).(de-
pends on the model)
2. Put the specified amount of powder, li-
quid/gel or tablet detergent into the
compartment.
There are level lines on the inside of
the detergent compartment to help
you use the correct amount of
powdered detergent. The detergent
compartment holds 45 cm³ of de-
tergent when fully loaded. Fill the
detergent compartment up to the
level lines of 15 cm³ or 25 cm³ of
detergent, depending on how full
the dishwasher is and/or how dirty
your dishes are. If tablet detergent
is used, one tablet is sufficient.
background
EN / 19
3. Close the lid of the detergent compart-
ment by pushing it in the direction of the
arrow. A "click" sound is heard when the
lid is closed.
Since the solubility of tablet deter-
gents varies depending on temper-
ature and time, always use powder
or liquid/gel detergent in short
cycles without pre-wash.
Tablet detergents
In addition to conventional tablet deter-
gents, there are also tablet detergents on
the market that contain water softening
salt and/or rinse aid. Some of them also
background
EN / 20
contain special components such as glass
preservatives and stainless steel preservat-
ives. These tablets work up to a certain wa-
ter hardness level (21°dH). Water softening
salt and rinse aid should be used together
with the tablet detergent above this level.
The best washing performance in dish-
washers is achieved by using detergent,
rinse aid and water softening salt separ-
ately.
When using tablet detergents, follow the
manufacturer's instructions on the deter-
gent packaging.
When using tablet detergent, contact the
detergent manufacturer if your dishes are
wet when the wash cycle has finished and/
or if you notice limescale stains, especially
on glasses.
When you change from tablet detergent
to powder detergent:
Make sure the salt and rinse aid compart-
ment is full.
Set the water hardness setting to the
highest position and run a wash cycle
with the dishwasher empty.
After the empty wash cycle, read the in-
struction manual and adjust the water
hardness setting again according to your
mains water.
Set the appropriate rinse aid setting.
6.6 Rinse aid
The rinse aid used in dishwashers is a spe-
cial compound to improve drying efficiency
and to prevent traces of water or limescale
from remaining on the washed items. For
this reason, make sure that there is rinse
aid in the rinse aid compartment and use
only rinse aid that is intended for use in
dishwashers.
Filling the rinse aid
1. Open the rinse aid cap with the latch.
2. Fill the compartment to the MAX level.
background
EN / 21
3. Close the compartment lid by pressing
it lightly against point (B).
4. Increase the setting if water marks ap-
pear on the crockery after washing, or
decrease it if a blue mark remains
when wiped by hand. This setting is set
to position 3 at the factory.
The rinse aid setting is described
under the heading "Adjusting the
rinse aid quantity" in the operation
of dishwasher section.
Wipe off any rinse aid spilled out-
side the chamber. Accidental
spillage of rinse aid will cause
foaming and reduce washing per-
formance.
6.7 Parts not suitable for washing in
the dishwasher
Do not wash dishes contaminated with
cigarette ash, wax residue, varnish, paint,
chemicals, etc. in the dishwasher.
Do not wash forks, spoons and knives
with wooden or bone handles, glued
parts, non-heat-resistant plastic parts,
copper and pewter utensils in the dish-
washer.
As with hand washing, the dish-
washer may discolour and tarnish
decorative prints on porcelain, alu-
minium and silver. Some types of
delicate glass and crystals may
lose their transparency over time.
We recommend that you pay partic-
ular attention to the fact that the
new tableware you buy is appropri-
ate for washing in the dishwasher.
6.8 Placing the dishes in the dish-
washer
If you place the dishes correctly in accord-
ance with the washing capacity of your
dishwasher, you will make the best use of
the dishwasher in terms of energy con-
sumption, washing and drying perform-
ance.
Remove any food residues (bones, fruit
pits, etc.) from the dishes before placing
them in the dishwasher.
If possible, place thin, narrow-bodied
items in the centre compartments of the
baskets.
Place very dirty and large items in the
lower basket and small, delicate and light
items in the upper basket.
Place deep containers such as bowls,
glasses and pots with their mouths
downwards. This prevents water from ac-
cumulating in them.
background
EN / 22
To avoid possible injury, always
place long and pointed dishes such
as serving forks, bread knives, etc.
in the cutlery basket with the poin-
ted end downwards or horizontally
on the dishwashing baskets.
Empty the dishes in the lower basket first,
then the dishes in the upper basket.

8 Maintenance and Cleaning
8.1 Maintenance and cleaning
Read “Safety Instructions” section
first!
Before cleaning the machine, un-
plug it and turn off the tap.
Do not use abrasive materials when
cleaning.
For the machine to work efficiently,
clean the filters and impellers at
least once a week.
If cleaned at regular intervals, the life of the
product will be extended and frequently en-
countered problems will be reduced.
Cleaning the exterior of the machine
Gently wipe the exterior of your machine
and the door seals with a delicate cleaning
agent and a damp cloth. Wipe the "control
panel" only with a slightly damp cloth.
Cleaning the inside of the machine
Clean the machine monthly by running it at
the highest possible temperature with de-
tergent or special machine cleaning agents.
This will help to remove residues and limes-
cale from the inside of the machine.
If there is water left in the machine, drain
the water in the machine by following the
procedures in the “Cancelling the program”
section. If the water cannot be drained, re-
move the filters as indicated in the “Clean-
ing the filters” section and check if there
are any dirt particles that have accumu-
lated at the bottom of the machine and
blocked the water path, and clean them if
necessary.
8.2 Cleaning the filters
(Depending on Model)
For the machine to work efficiently, clean
the filters at least once a week. Check if
there is any food residue on the filters. If
there is food residue, remove the filters and
clean them thoroughly under the tap.
1. Remove the micro filter and coarse fil-
ter group by turning it counterclock-
wise and pulling it out.
2. Pull the metal/plastic filter (3) out of its
place.
3. Press the two tabs on the coarse filter
inwards to separate the coarse filter
from the assembly.

without a filter.
Failure to install the filters correctly
will reduce washing effectiveness.
8.3 Cleaning the hose filter
The filter on the water inlet hose prevents
dirt (sand, clay, rust, etc.) that may come
from the city network or your water system
from damaging the machine. Check the fil-
ter and hose from time to time and clean
them if necessary.
1. Turn off the tap and remove the hose.
2. After removing the filter from the hose,
clean it under the tap.
3. Place the cleaned filter back into its

Dishes are not cleanly washed
Dishes are placed irregularly. >>> Place
the dishes as specified in the user
manual.
The proper cycle is not selected. >>> Se-
lect a cycle with a higher temperature
and washing for a longer time.
Dishes are very dirty >>> Remove the
coarse dirt of your dishes with a napkin
and then place them into your dish-
washer.
Spray arms are stuck. >>> Before starting
the cycle, make sure that the upper and
lower spray arms rotate freely by rotating
them with your hand.
The holes of the spray arms are clogged.
>>> Upper or lower holes of the spray
arms may be clogged with food residues
such as lemon seeds. Clean the spray
arms regularly as shown in the Section
"Cleaning and maintenance."
Filters are clogged. >>> Check whether
the filter system is cleaned. Clean the fil-
ter system regularly as shown in the
"Cleaning and maintenance" section.
Filters are not installed correctly. >>> In-
spect the filter system and make sure
that it is installed correctly.
Baskets are overloaded. >>> Do not load
baskets above their capacity.
Detergent is stored under improper con-
ditions. >>> If you are using a powder de-
tergent, do not store the detergent pack-
age in humid environments. If possible,
store the detergent in a storage container
with a lid. We recommend you to use tab-
let detergent for easy storage.
Adequate amount of detergent is not ad-
ded. >>> If you are using a powder deter-
gent, put the amount of detergent suit-
able for the soil level of your dishes and
for the definitions of the cycles. We re-
commend using tablet detergents to
achieve the best results.
Insufficient amount of rinse aid. >>> In-
spect the low rinse aid warning indicator
and add rinse aid, if required. If adequate
amount of rinse aid is available in the
dishwasher, increase the setting for rinse
aid.
Detergent compartment cover is not
closed. >>> Always close the cover of the
detergent compartment after adding de-
tergent.
Dishes are not dried
Dishes are placed irregularly. >>> Place
your dishes so that water shall not collect
inside them during washing.
Insufficient amount of rinse aid. >>> In-
spect the low rinse aid warning indicator
and add rinse aid, if required. If adequate
amount of rinse aid is available in the
dishwasher, increase the setting for rinse
aid.
Machine is unloaded right after the end
of washing cycle. >>> Do not unload your
dishwasher right after the end of washing
cycle. Keep the door ajar and let the
steam come out for some time and un-
load the dishwasher when the dishes are
cooled so that they are OK to be contac-
ted by hand. Start the unloading opera-
tion from the lower basket. Thus, the wa-
ter remaining on any dish on the upper
basket is prevented from dripping on the
dishes on the lower basket.
The proper cycle is not selected. >>> Dry-
ing performance is low as the rinsing
temperature is also low in short cycles.
For a higher drying performance, select
longer cycles.
Tablet detergent is used, and tablet but-
ton is not pressed >>> If your dishwasher
has a "tablet detergent" function, activate
it while using multi-purpose detergents.
Surface quality of the kitchenware is
poor. >>> You may achieve the expected
washing performance on kitchenware
with damaged surfaces, and the use of
such kitchenware is not correct in terms
of hygiene. Moreover, it is difficult for wa-
ter to flow over damaged surfaces. It is
not recommended to wash such kitchen-
ware in the dishwasher.
background
EN / 41
It is natural to have concerns about dry-
ing for Teflon kitchenware. This condition
is a result of the structure of Teflon. As
the surface tensions of Teflon and water
are different, water particles remain like
beads on the Teflon surface.
Tea, coffee or lipstick stains are left on
the dishes.
The proper cycle is not selected. >>> Se-
lect a cycle with a higher temperature
and washing for a longer time.
Surface quality of the kitchenware is
poor. >>> When tea, coffee stains and
other stains caused by dyeing materials
penetrate the damaged surfaces, it is not
possible to remove such stains dish-
washers. You may achieve the expected
washing performance on kitchenware
with damaged surfaces, and the use of
such kitchenware is not correct in terms
of hygiene. It is not recommended to
wash such kitchenware in the dish-
washer.
Detergent is stored under improper con-
ditions. >>> If you are using a powder de-
tergent, do not store the detergent pack-
age in humid environments. If possible,
store the detergent in a storage container
with a lid. We recommend you to use tab-
let detergent for easy storage.
Lime stains remain on dishes and glass-
ware looks blurred
Insufficient amount of rinse aid. >>> In-
spect the low rinse aid warning indicator
and add rinse aid, if required. If adequate
amount of rinse aid is available in the
dishwasher, increase the setting for rinse
aid.
Water hardness setting is low or salt level
is inadequate. >>> Check the water hard-
ness setting by measuring the hardness
of the mains water accurately.
There is a leak of salt. >>> Take care not
to pour salt around the filler opening
while adding salt. Ensure that the water
softener lid is closed after adding salt.
Clean the salt spilt into the dishwasher by
running the pre-wash cycle. Check the lid
once more at the end of the cycle, as the
salt particles remaining under the lid will
dissolve in the pre-wash step, and thus
the lid may loosen.
There is a different smell inside the
dishwasher
New machines have a certain smell. This
smell shall disappear after a few washing
cycles.
Filters are clogged. >>> Check whether
the filter system is cleaned. Clean the fil-
ter system regularly as shown in the
"Cleaning and maintenance" section.
Chemicals that may cause odour are put
inside the rinse aid reservoir. >>> Do not
use chemicals such as vinegar, hand
washing detergents, and descaling
agents.
Soiled dishes were kept in the dish-
washer for 2-3 days. >>> If you shall start
the dishwasher immediately after putting
the dishes into the dishwasher, remove
the soil on the dishes and run the Pre-
Wash cycle without detergent every two
days. Do not close the door of the dish-
washer completely to prevent occurrence
of odour inside the dishwasher in such
cases. You may also use commercially
available deodorizing and dishwasher
cleaning agents.
Rust stains, tarnishing, surface deterior-
ation on the dishes
There is a leak of salt. >>> Salt may
cause deterioration and corrosion on
metal surfaces. Take care not to pour
salt around the filler opening while
adding salt. Ensure that the water
softener lid is closed after adding salt.
Clean the salt spilt into the dishwasher by
running the pre-wash cycle. Check the lid
once more at the end of the cycle, as the
salt particles remaining under the lid will
dissolve in the pre-wash step, and thus
the lid may loosen.
Salty food residues have remained on the
dishes for a long period of time. >>> If kit-
chenware soiled with such foods are to
be kept in the dishwasher, the soil shall
background
EN / 42
be removed from the surface of the dish
by the pre-washing cycle or the dishes
shall be washed without waiting.
There is no earth line in the electrical in-
stallation. >>> Check if your dishwasher
is connected to a true earth line. Other-
wise, the static electricity generated in
the dishwasher causes arcs and pits on
the surface of the metal objects, remov-
ing the protective layer on the surface,
and cause tarnishing of the surface.
Intensive cleaning agents such as bleach
are used. >>> The protective layer on
metal surfaces gets damaged when it
comes into contact with cleaning agents
such as bleach, and thus loses its effect
over time. Do not wash your dishes with
bleach. If you want to wash your dishes
using bleach, your dishwasher shall have
a special equipment and a function that
allows washing with bleach. With this
equipment and function, the appropriate
amount of bleach shall be taken into the
washing environment in the right step,
then we may benefit from its hygienic ef-
fect and rinse the dishes in the best way.
Metal items, such as knives in particular,
were used outside of their intended use.
>>> If the knives are used for purposes
such as opening the cans, the protective
layer on their ends shall be damaged. Do
not use metal kitchenware outside of
their intended use.
Cutlery are made of low quality stainless
steel. >>> It is inevitable that such items
will rust, thus they shall not be washed in
the dishwashers.
Previously rusted kitchenware are
washed in the dishwasher. >>> Rust on a
corroded item may migrate to other
stainless steel surfaces during washing
and cause rust to appear on those sur-
faces, too. Such items shall not be
washed in dishwashers.
Detergent residues are present in the
detergent reservoir.
Detergent was put in a long time before
the washing procedure. >>> Take care to
put in the detergent just before starting
the washing operation.
Opening of the detergent reservoir lid is
prevented during washing operation. >>>
Place the dishes in a way that does not
prevent the detergent reservoir lid from
opening and water from the spray arms
flowing into the reservoir.
Detergent is stored under improper con-
ditions. >>> If you are using a powder de-
tergent, do not store the detergent pack-
age in humid environments. If possible,
store the detergent in a storage container
with a lid. We recommend you to use tab-
let detergent for easy storage.
The holes of the spray arms are clogged.
>>> Upper or lower holes of the spray
arms may be clogged with food residues
such as lemon seeds. Clean the spray
arms regularly as shown in the Section
"Cleaning and maintenance."
Patterns and decorations on kitchen-
ware are erased.
Patterned glasses and porcelain items
with a pattern on the glaze are not suit-
able for washing in the dishwasher. Glass
and porcelain tableware manufacturers
do not recommend washing such kitch-
enware in the dishwasher.
The dishes are being scratched.
Kitchenware and accessories made of
aluminium or that contain aluminium
shall not be washed in the dishwasher.
There is a leak of salt. >>> Take care not
to pour salt around the filler opening
while adding salt. Salt spread around
may cause scratching. Ensure that the
water softener lid is closed after adding
salt. Clean the salt spilt into the dish-
washer by running the pre-wash cycle.
Check the lid once more at the end of the
cycle, as the salt particles remaining un-
der the lid will dissolve in the pre-wash
step, and thus the lid may loosen.

Water hardness setting is low or salt level
is inadequate. >>> Check the water hard-
ness setting by measuring the hardness
of the mains water accurately.
The dishes are not placed properly. >>>
When placing glasses and other glass kit-
chenware in the basket, do not lean them
against other dishes, but on the edges of
the basket, on the racks or on the glass
supporting wire. When two glasses or
other dishes being washed hit each other
due to the impact of water during wash-
ing operation, this may cause scratching/
breaks on the surfaces.
A blurred stain that looks like a milk soil
remains on glasses, which cannot be re-
moved when wiped by hand. When ex-
posed to light, a bluish /rainbow coloured
appearance is observed.
Excessive amount of rinse aid is used.
>>> Lower the setting of rinse aid. While
adding the rinse aid, always clean the
rinse aid overflown to the surroundings.
Corrosion has occurred on the glass due
to soft water. >>> Check the water hard-
ness setting by measuring the hardness
of the mains water accurately. Do not use
salt if your mains water is soft (<5 dH).
Use cycles with a higher temperature set-
ting (e.g. 60-65 degrees) for washing.
You may also use commercially available
glass-protecting detergents.
Foam occurs in the dishwasher.
Dishes are washed by hand with dish
washing detergent and then put into the
dishwasher without rinsing before they
are placed in the dishwasher. >>> No
foam control characteristics are available
in dish washing detergents intended for
hand washing. You do not need to hand
wash the dishes with detergent before
placing them in the dishwasher. Simply
rinse off the coarse soil on the surface of
the dish with water or scrape it off with a
paper napkin or a fork.
Rinse aid was spilt into the dishwasher
while adding rinse aid. >>> Take care not
to spill rinse aid into the dishwasher
while adding rinse aid. Clean spilt rinse
aid with a paper napkin/towel.
The rinse aid reservoir lid has been left
open. >>> Make sure to close the rinse
aid reservoir lid after adding rinse aid.

Does Blomberg offer replacements?
This is a repair-only guarantee. On occa-

cretion, replace your product with a new
product instead of carrying out a repair.
Where a replacement is offered, this would
normally be an identical model, but when
this is not possible, a model of similar spe-
cification will be provided. The Manufac-
turer will cover the costs and arrange for
the delivery of the new product and for the
return of the old product. Any costs related
to disconnecting the faulty product and in-

borne by the Manufacturer unless previ-
ously agreed to in writing. The original guar-
antee will continue to apply to the replace-
ment product; the new product will not
come with a new guarantee.
When will the repair take place?
Our engineers work Monday to Friday
9.00am to 5.00pm. Appointments outside
these hours may be possible at the sole
discretion of the Manufacturer but cannot
be guaranteed. Whilst our Engineers will en-
deavour to minimize inconvenience and to
meet requests for specific timed appoint-
ments, this cannot be guaranteed. The
Manufacturer will not be liable for delays or
if it is unable to carry out a repair because a
convenient appointment cannot be ar-
ranged.
Will there be any charge for the repairs?
It is your responsibility to provide evidence
to the Engineer that your product is covered
by this guarantee with a proof of purchase.
The Manufacturer reserves the right to
charge for the reasonable cost of any ser-
vice call if:
•You cannot provide evidence that your
product is covered by this guarantee.
•Where a service call has been made and
the engineer finds that there is no fault with
your product.
•That your product has not been installed or
operated in accordance with the User In-
structions Booklet.
•That the fault was caused by something
other than faulty materials, defective com-
ponents or manufacturing defects.
•For missed appointments.
Payment of these costs are due immedi-
ately upon the Engineer providing you with
an invoice. If you fail to pay the costs for
the service call in a timely manner, the
Manufacturer reserves the right to termin-
ate the guarantee. If you are a resident of
the United Kingdom, this guarantee will be
governed by English law and subject to the
English Courts, save where you live in an-
other part of the United Kingdom, in which
case the law and courts of that location will
apply. If you are resident in the Republic of
Ireland, this guarantee will be governed by
Irish law and the Irish courts will have juris-
diction.
