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.

Pay attention to the warnings on the detergent packaging to get better washing and drying results. Contact the manufacturer of the detergent for further questions.

Do not put solvents into the detergent dispenser. There is the risk of explosion!

For energy saving, the machine is automatically turned off following the completion of the program or if the program is not started.

7.2 TABLET DETERGENTS

In addition to the conventional tablet detergents, there are also commercially available detergent tablets that show water softening salt and/or rinse aid effect. Some types of these detergents contain special-purpose components such as glass and stainless steel protectors. These tablets show their effects up to a certain water hardness level (59 gpg). Water softening salt and rinse aid must also be used together with the detergent if the water hardness level is above the mentioned level.

The best washing performance in dishwashers is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt individually.

4. If there are stains on dishware 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 3 as factory default.

USA

The rinse aid adjustment is described under

"Adjusting the amount of rinse aid" in the section for operating the machine.

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

8. ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

(Select Models) Cleaning, rinsing and drying performance of your dishwasher will increase when water softening system is adjusted properly. Adjust the new water hardness level according to the Water hardness level instruction in this booklet. Use the test strip supplied with the product according to the steps given below to determine hardness level of your supply water.

After determining hardness level of the supply water:

1. Switch on your machine, press adn hold the Menu key

2. Press the settings menu key for 3 seconds to enter the Settings Menu.

3. Using <- and +> keys, proceed until the water hardness setting indicator becomes on (“r” position will be displayed).

4. Using the Selection key, adjust water hardness level according to the hardness of the supply water. For correct setting please see “Water hardness level setting table”.

5. Press the Menu key to exit the settings menu. Your setting will be saved automatically.

If the hardness level of the supply water is above 154 gpg (grains per gallon) or if you are using well water, then it is recommended to use water purification devices and special filters. If the hardness level of the supply water is below 22 gpg, there is no need to use salt in your dishwasher. If this is the case, “No Salt Warning Indicator” (if any) illuminates continuously on the panel of your machine. If the water hardness level adjustment is set to level 1, the “No salt warning indicator” will illuminate continuously although it is not necessary to use salt. If you use salt under this condition, salt will not be consumed and the Salt indicator will not illuminate.

(Select Models)

Use only special softening salts produced particularly for the dishwashers in your machine.

It is recommended to use granule or powder softening salts in the water softening system. Do not use salts that do not completely dissolve in water such as table salt or rock salt. Otherwise the performance of the system may deteriorate in time.

Salt reservoir will be filled with water when you start the product. For this reason, add salt before operating the machine.

salt into the salt reservoir.

You need to add salt right before starting the machine. Thus, the overflowing salty water will be flushed immediately, preventing the risk of corrosion in machine. In cases where you would not start washing immediately, run your machine empty in the shortest program.

Since different salt brands in the market have different particle sizes and since the water hardness may vary, dissolution of the salt in water may take a couple of hours. Therefore, Salt Indicator remains on for a while after adding salt into the machine.

3. Add 4 cups of water to salt reservoir of your machine only in initial use (C).

10. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING:Before cleaning or carrying

out maintenance, switch off the appliance, disconnect the power supply and turn off the water tap.

WARNING:Do not repair or replace any part of the dishwasher or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended by this manual. We recommend that the dishwasher only be repaired by an authorized service agent.

CAUTION :To avoid the possibility of slipping, keep the floor around the dishwasher clean and dry. Keep your appliance free from the accumulation of combustible materials, such as lint, rags, and chemicals. If the dishwasher is not in use for an extended period of time, we recommend you check that the baskets are empty, leave the inside of the dishwasher clean, the door cracked open to allow air to circulate, turn off both the power and water supply to the dishwasher.

10.1 CARING FOR YOUR DISHWASHER

EXTERIOR

CAUTION :Possible dishwasher damage:

Cleaning the control panel: Use only soft cloth that is lightly dampened with mild detergent. Clean the control panel only with a moist cloth and clear water.

Cleaning the colored doors: Use only soft cloth that is lightly dampened with mild detergent.

Cleaning the stainless steel doors: Use a soft cloth with a cleaner made for cleaning stainless steel. For the best results, apply the stainless steel cleaner to a soft cloth and wipe the surface in the direction of the grain.

Cleaning the door gasket: Regularly clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles and other debris. Use a gentle household cleaner for the outside and the door seals, and rinse thoroughly.

Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, abrasive cloths (paper towels) can damage the dishwasher decorative door.

10.3 CLEANING THE FILTERS

Clean the filters at least once a week in order for the machine operate efficiently. Check if food residues are left on the filters. If there are food residues on filters, take them out and clean well under running water.

1. Turn the micro filter (1) and coarse filter (2) assembly counterclockwise and pull upwards.

2. Pull out the metal / plastic filter (3).

10.2 CARING FOR YOUR DISHWASHER INTERIOR

NOTICE: Cleaning your dishwasher at

regular intervals ensures longer product life and reduces the risk of recurring problems. Always disconnect the power to machine before cleaning.

CAUTION :When cleaning the underside of the main filter, care must be taken on the sharp outer edge to avoid the risk of cut type injuries.

3. Press the two tabs on the coarse filter inwards and separate the coarse filter from the assembly.

4. Clean all three filters under tap water by means of a brush.

5. Replace the metal/plastic filter.

6. Place the coarse filter into the microfilter. Make sure that it is properly seated. Turn the coarse filter clockwise until a “click” sound is heard.

Do not use the dishwasher

without filter.

Incorrect placement of the filters will reduce washing efficiency.

USA

10.4 CLEANING THE HOSE FILTER

Damages on the machine that may be caused by impurities coming from the water supply or your own water installation (such as sand, dirt, rust, etc.) can be prevented by means of the filter attached to the water inlet hose. Check the filter and the hose regularly and clean them if necessary.

1. Turn off the tap and remove the hose.

2. Remove the filter and clean under running tap water.

3. Place the cleaned filter back into its seat in the hose.

4. Install the hose to tap.

10.5 CLEANING THE WASH ARMS

Clean the wash arms at least once a week in order for the machine operates efficiently.

LOWER WASH ARMS

Check if the holes on the lower wash arms (1) are clogged. If they are clogged, remove and clean the impeller. Pull the lower wash arms up to remove it.
