hose supplied with your machine instead.
If you are going to connect a new or long

- unused water inlet hose to your machine
,run water through it for a while before
making the connection. Connect the water
inlet hose directly to the water inlet tap.
The pressure supplied by the tap should
be at a minimum of 0.03 Mpa and and at a
maximum of 1 Mpa.If the water pressure is
above 1 Mpa,a pressure-relief valve should
be fitted inbetween.

After the connections are made, the tap should be turned on
fully and checked for water tightness.For the safety of your

Electrical connection

The earthed plug of your machine should be connected to an
earthed outlet supplied by suitable voltage and current. If there is no
earthing installation, have a competent electrician carry out an
earthing installation. In case of usage without earthing installed, our
company will not be responsible for any loss of usage that might
occur.

The indoor fuse current value should be 10-16 A.

Your machine is set according to 220-240 V. If the mains voltage in
your location is 110 V, connect a transformer of 110/220 V and 3000
W inbetween. The machine should not be plugged in during
positioning.

Always use the coated plug supplied with your machine.

Running in low voltage will cause a decline in washing quality.

The machine’s electrical cable should be replaced by an authorised
service or an authorised electrician only. Failure to do so may lead to
accidents.

For safety purposes, always make sure to disconnect the plug
when a wash programme is finished.

Prior to using the machine for the first time

• Check whether the electricity and supply water specifications match the values indicated by the
installation instructions for the machine.

• Remove all packaging materials inside the machine.

• Set the water softener.

• Add 2 kg salt into the salt compartment and fill with water up to a level at which it will almost

overflow.

• Fill the rinse aid compartment.

PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE

The importance of water decalcification

For a good washing function, the dishwasher needs soft, i.e. less calcareous water. Otherwise, white
lime residues will remain on the dishes and the interior equipment. This will negatively affect your
machine’s washing, drying and shining performance. When water flows through the softener system,
the ions forming the hardness are removed from the water and the water reaches the softness
required to obtain the best washing result. Depending on the level of hardness of the inflowing water,
these ions that harden the water accumulate rapidly inside the softener system. Therefore, the
softener system has to be refreshed so that it operates with the same performance also during the
next wash. For this purpose, dishwasher salt is used.

Filling with salt

compartment may decrease over time. W hen you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment gets
filled with water. Therefore, put the softener salt prior to starting your machine.

This way, overflowing salt gets immediately cleaned up through the wash operation. If you are not
going to wash any dishes immediately after putting in salt, then run a short washing program with an
empty machine in order to avoid any damage ( to prevent corrosion ) to your machine due to the salt
overflow while filling in the salt container.

Use softener salt specifically produced
for use in dishwashers. To fill softener
salt, first remove the lower basket and
then open the salt compartment cap by

turning it counter clockwise.

2

At first fill the compartment with 2kg
salt and water so it just overflows
(Diagrams 2 and 3 ) the funnel provided
will make filling4 easier. Refit the cap and
close it. If the salt warning lamp on the
control panel is lit fill the salt compartment
with salt again.

Fill the salt compartment with water

on first use only.
If you put a tablet into the salt
compartment, do not fill the
compartment completely. We
recommend that you use small-grained
or powder softener salt.
Do not put table salt into your machine,
otherwise, the function of the softener

it is a combined product.

• Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the hardness of mains water that the machine is

connected to.

• Observe the instructions on the 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 manufacturers 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: If you want to obtain better results while using combined detergents,
add salt and rinse aid into your machine and adjust the water hardness setting and the rinse aid
setting to the lowest position.

Solubility of the tablet detergents produced by different companies c an vary
depending on the temperature and time. Therefore, it is not recommended to use such

detergents in short programs. It is more suitable to use powder detergents in such programs.
Warning: Should any problem, which you have not encountered before, arise with the use of

this type of detergents, contact the detergent manufacturer directly.

If you stop using combined detergents

• F

• Adjust the water hardness s etting to the highest position and run an empty-wash.

• Adjust the water hardness level.

• Make the suitable rinse aid setting.

Filling with rinse aid and making the setting.

Rinse aid is used to prevent formation of white water drops, lime
stains, white film strip-shaped stains that may form on the dishes, as

well as to increase the drying performance. Contrary to the popular
beliefs, it is used not only for obtaining shinier dishes but also for
obtaining sufficiently dried dishes.

For this reason, care should be taken
that there is adequate amount of rinse
aid in the rinse aid compartment and
only polishing material produced for
use at dishwashers should be used.

To add rinse aid, remove the rinse aid

compartment cap by turning it.1 Fill the rinse aid compartment with
rinse aid until the rinse aid level indicator becomes dark;2 refit the

form on your dishes after a wash, whereas you need to decrease the degree if a blue
stain is left when wiped by hand.3

cap and close it by turning it in a way
that the nails will correspond to one
another. By checking the rinse aid level indicator on the detergent
dispenser, you c an understand whether or not your machine

needs rinse aid. A dark indicator b means that there is rinse aid in
the compartment, while a light indicator a s hows that you need to
fill the compartment with rinse aid.
The rinse aid level adjuster can be set to a position between 1 and

6. Factory setting for rinse aid is the position 3.

You need to increase the degree of the adjuster if water stains

20

Customer Helpline: 0345 257 7271

Warning: Use only those rinse aid materials which are allowed for use in the machine. As rinse
aid residues left as a result of overflowing will create extremely high amounts of foam and thus
reduce the washing performance, remove the excess amount of rinse aid by wiping it with a rag.

LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

If you properly place your dishes into the machine, 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 cannot remain steady and may get damaged.
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 ends facing down or horizontally on the baskets.

Warning: Place your dishes into your machine in a way that they will not prevent the upper and
lower spray arms from spinning.

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 filtered by the inlet hose filter so as 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 minimise such complaints 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 clean filter back into its place inside the hose. Refit the hose.
