Preparation
Read the “Safety Instructions” section first!
Tips for energy saving
- The following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy-efficient manner.
- Wipe away any coarse food remnants on the dishes before putting them in the product. Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended. Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water in the use phase than hand dishwashing when the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Operate the product after filling it.
- When selecting a programme, consider the table of “Programme data and average consumption values” given on Quick Guide.
- Do not put more detergent than suggested on the detergent package.
Water softening system
- The product is equipped with a water softening system which reduces the hardness of incoming water.
- This system softens the supply water to a level that will allow washing the dishes with the required quality.
- The main water hardness must be softened if it is over 7°dH.
- Otherwise, hardness ions will accumulate on the dishes that are washed and may affect the washing, rinsing and drying performances of the machine.
Adjusting the water-softening system
Washing performance will increase when the water softening system is adjusted properly.
-
Read “Quick Guide – Adjusting Water Softening System” before this section!
-
The regeneration of the water softening system can be done in all programmes during the drying step. When regeneration occurs, the duration, energy and water consumption of the programme increase.
-
For the regeneration process; frequency of the regeneration cycle, maximum additional duration, and water and energy consumption are given in table below depending on the Eco 50°C programme water consumption when the dishwasher is run under standard conditions with 14 dH water supply on its Eco 50°C programme:
-
For the water consumption of your dishwasher on Eco 50°C programme, look at the Programme data and average consumption values table given on Quick Guide.
Adding salt
The water softening system needs to be regenerated for the product to operate
with the same performance continuously. Dishwasher salt is used for this
purpose.
- Use only special softening salts produced particularly for the dishwashers in your machine.
- It is recommended to use granule- or powder-formed 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.
- Firstly, take the lower basket out to add softening salt.
- Turn the salt reservoir lid counter-clockwise to open it (A).
- Add 1 liter of water to salt reservoir of your machine only in initial use.
- Fill the salt reservoir with salt by using the salt funnel (D). To speed up the dissolution rate of salt in water, stir it with a spoon.
- You can put about 2 kg of softening salt into the salt reservoir.
- Replace the lid and tighten it when the reservoir is full. 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 the machine.
- In cases where you would not start washing immediately, run your machine empty in the shortest programme. 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 to the machine.
Detergent
You can use powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergents in the machine.
- Only use detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers.
- Note that detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate can be harmful for the environment. Liquid detergents without chlorine may not remove tea and coffee stains from cups.
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.
- Push the latch to the right to open the detergent dispenser lid (A). (depends on the model)
- Put the suggested amount of powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergent in the reservoir. Inside the detergent dispenser, there are level markings that help you use the appropriate amount of powder detergent. When brimful, the detergent dispenser will contain 45 cm³ of detergent. Fill detergent up to 15 cm³ or 25 cm³ level marks in the detergent dispenser according to the fullness of the machine and/or soiling degree of the dishes. One tablet is enough if you are using detergent tablets.
- 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 programmes without prewashing 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 effects.
-
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 (21°dH).
-
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 programme is over when using a tablet detergent.
When you switch to powder detergent from tablet detergent
- Make sure that salt and rinse aid reservoirs are full.
- Set the water hardness to the highest level and perform an empty run.
- After the empty washing cycle, review the user manual and readjust the water hardness level to suit the water supply.
- 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.
- Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir with the help of the latch.
- Fill the reservoir until the “MAX” level.
- Slightly press the point (B) of the reservoir lid to close it.
- If there are stains on tableware items after washing, the 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 is spilled accidentally will cause foaming and it will eventually decrease washing performance.
Items not suitable for washing in the dishwasher
- Never wash dishes soiled by cigarette ash, candle remnants, polish, dyestuff, chemicals, etc. in your dishwasher.
- Do not wash silverware and cutlery with wooden or bone stems, glued pieces, or pieces that are not resistant to heat, as well as copper and tin-plated containers in the dishwasher.
- Decorative prints of chinaware as well as aluminium and silver items may get discoloured or tarnished after washing in the dishwasher just as it happens in handwashing. Some delicate glass types and crystals may become dull in time. We strongly recommend you to check if the tableware you are going to purchase is suitable for washing, especially in the dishwasher.
Placing the dishes into the dishwasher
Depending on the capacity of your dishwasher, you can use your dishwasher in an optimum way for energy consumption and washing and drying performance only if you place the dishes in an orderly way.
- Wipe away any coarse food remnants (bones, seeds, etc.) on the dishes before placing them in the dishwasher.
- Place thin, narrow pieces in the middle sections of baskets if possible.
- Place the heavily soiled and bigger items in the lower basket and smaller, delicate and light items in the upper basket.
- Place the hollowed dishes such as bowls, glasses and pans upside down in the dishwasher. Thus, the accumulation of water in deep hollows is prevented.
- To prevent possible injuries, always place the sharp and pointed dishes such as service forks, bread knives, etc. upside down so that their pointed ends will face down or lay them horizontally in the dish basket.
- Unload the dishes in the lower basket first and then the dishes in the upper basket.
