1. Fold the shelf upwards A.
2. Positioning at the desired height B.
3. Fold the shelf again downwards C
   

COLLAPSIBLE UPPER BASKET WIRES
You can use collapsible wires when you need a larger space for your dishes in the upper basket of your machine.
To bring the collapsible wires into horizontal position, grab the wire from the middle position and push them in the direction of arrow in the figure. Place your larger dishes into the area created. To bring the wires back to vertical position, just lift them up.

Bringing the wires to the horizontal position by holding them from the tips may cause them to bend. Therefore, hold the wires from their stems while bringing them to the horizontal or vertical positions.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER BASKET
The upper basket height adjustment mechanism has been designed for you to create large spaces in the lower or upper sections of your machine depending on your needs by adjusting the height in the upper or lower direction while your basket is empty or loaded.

Thanks to this mechanism, you can use your basket in three different positions, namely lower, middle and upper positions (1, 2, 3).

1. To raise your basket, hold the upper basket wires with both hands while the basket is in the lowermost position and pull them up (A).
2. You will hear a “Click” from the right and left mechanisms, indicating that the basket has reached the next level. Release the basket.

Repeat the process if the height is not sufficient.

To lower the basket, while it is in the uppermost position;

1. Hold the upper basket wires with both hands, slightly lift up the basket and simultaneously push and release the latches shown in the figure (B).
2. Lower the basket from its current position to the lower one.
3. Release the basket after it has reached one level down.
   Repeat the process if the height is not sufficient.
   

The movement mechanism may not function properly if the upper basket is overloaded or if the weight distribution is not balanced. In heavier conditions, there is the risk of falling one level down.

Make sure that the adjustment mechanism has the same positions on the right and left sides of the upper basket.

LOWER RACK

COLLAPSIBLE LOWER BASKET TINES

OVERFLOWING WARNING

If the machine intakes too much water or there is leakage at any of the components then the machine will detect this and E:01 icon will flash on the Program indicator. As long as the overflowing continues safety algorithm will be active and try to discharge the water. If overflowing stops and safety is assured, E:01 icon will disappear. If E:01 does not disappear, there is a permanent fault. In this case the authorised service should be contacted.

DETERGENT

You can use powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergents in the machine.

Only use in the machine the detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers. We recommend you do not use detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate as they are harmful for the environment.

ADDING DETERGENT

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!

Put the detergent into the detergent dispenser just before operating the machine as illustrated below.

1. Push the latch to right to open the detergent dispenser lid (A).
   

2. Put suggested amount of powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergent in the reservoir.
   For suggested amount of detergent; depending on the hardness level of the tap water and the program selected look at Program Table.
   Inside the detergent dispenser there are level markings that help you use appropriate amount of powder detergent. When brimful, detergent dispenser will contain 1.5 Ounces (45 cm³) of detergent. Fill detergent up to .5 Ounces (15 cm³) or .85 ounces (25 cm³) level marks in the detergent dispenser according to fullness of the machine and/or soiling degree of the dishes. One tablet is enough if you are using detergent tablets.
   

3. Push the lid of the detergent dispenser to close it. A “click” will be heard when the lid is closed.
   

Use powder or liquid/gel detergent in short programs without prewash since the solubility of the tablet detergent changes depending on the temperature and time.

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.

Observe the instructions of the detergent manufacturer on the package when using tablet detergents.

Contact the detergent manufacturer if your dishes are wet and/or if you notice limescale spots particularly on your glasses after the washing program is over when using a tablet detergent.

When you switch to powder detergent from tablet detergent:

1. Make sure rinse aid reservoir is full.
2. Make the appropriate rinse aid settings.

RINSE AID

The rinse aid used in dishwashers is a special combination that aims to increase drying efficiency and prevent water or lime stains on the washed items.
For this reason, care must be paid to have rinse aid in the rinse aid reservoir and to use rinse aids produced specially for dishwashers only.

1. Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir with the help of the latch.
   

2. Fill the reservoir until “MAX” level.
   

3. Slightly press the point (B) of the reservoir lid to close it.
   

4. If there are stains on tableware 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.

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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the appliance, disconnect the main plug 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.

CARING FOR YOUR DISHWASHER EXTERIOR

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

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 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.

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.
