If the hardness level of the supply water is above 90 °dF 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 13°dF, 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.

• Rinse aid is not sufficient. >>> Check the rinse aid indicator and add rinse aid if
necessary. Increase the rinse aid setting if there is enough amount of rinse aid in the
machine.
• Machine is unloaded right after the programme is over. >>> Do not unload your machine
right after washing process is completed. Slightly open the door and wait for evacuation
of the steam inside for a while. Unload the dishes after the pieces cool down to a
touchable level. Start unloading process from the lower basket. Thus, dropping of water
remained on a piece at upper basket onto the pieces at lower basket is prevented.
• Selected programme is unsuitable. >>> Since rinsing temperature is low at programmes
with short duration, drying performance will also be low. Select programmes with longer
duration for a higher drying performance.
• Surface quality of the kitchen utensils is deteriorated. >>> Desired washing
performance can not be obtained on kitchen utensils with deteriorated surfaces and it
is not suitable to use such utensils in terms of hygiene as well. Also, water can not flow
easily on deteriorated surfaces. It is not recommended to wash such kitchen utensils in
dishwasher.
C
It is normal that drying complaints can be experienced with Teflon kitchen
utensils. It is associated with the structure of Teflon. Since the surface tensions
of Teflon and water are different, water droplets will remain as beads on the
Teflon surface.
Tea, cafe or lipstick stains remain on dishes.
• Selected programme is unsuitable. >>> Select a programme with a higher temperature
and cycle time.
• Surface quality of the kitchen utensils is deteriorated. >>> Tea and cafe stains or other
dye spots may not be cleaned in dishwasher when they have penetrated in deteriorated
surfaces. Desired washing performance can not be obtained on kitchen utensils with
deteriorated surfaces and it is not suitable to use such utensils in terms of hygiene as
well. It is not recommended to wash such kitchen utensils in dishwasher.
• Detergent is stored under unsuitable conditions. >>> If you are using powder detergent,
do not store the detergent package in humid places. Keep it in a closed container if
possible. For ease-of-storing, we recommend you to use tablet detergents.
Lime traces remain on dishes and glassware gains a misty appearance
• Rinse aid is not sufficient. >>> Check the rinse aid indicator and add rinse aid if
necessary. Increase the rinse aid setting if there is enough amount of rinse aid in the
machine.
• Water hardness setting is low or salt level is insufficient >>> Measure the hardness of
the supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting.
• Salt leakage exists. >>> Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while
adding salt. Make sure that the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after finishing the filling
process. Run the prewash programme to remove the salt that spilled inside the machine.
•
C A new machine has a peculiar odour. It will fade out after a couple of washes.
Filters are clogged. >>> Check if the filter system is clean. Clean the filter system
regularly as illustrated in section “Cleaning and Care”.
• Dirty dishes are kept in dishwasher for 2-3 days. >>> If you are not going to start the
machine right after you have put the dishes into it, remove the remnants on the dishes
and run the Prewash programme without detergent every 2 days. In such cases, do not
close the door of the machine completely in order to avoid odour build up in machine. You
can also use commercially available odour removers or machine cleaners.
Rust, discoloration or surface deterioration occurs on dishes
• Salt leakage exists. >>> Salt may cause deterioration and oxidation on metal surfaces.
Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while adding salt. Make sure that
the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after finishing the filling process. Run the prewash
programme to remove the salt that spilled inside the machine. Since the salt granules
that will remain under the lid will dissolve during prewash, causing the lid loosen, check
the lid once again at the end of the programme.
• Salty food remnants have remained on dishes for a long time. >>> If cutlery soiled with
such foods will be kept waiting in machine, dirt must be removed by prewash or dishes
must be washed without being kept waiting.
• Electric installation is not grounded. >>>Check if your machine is connected to the actual
grounding line. Otherwise, the static electric created in the product causes arcs on the
surfaces of metal items creating pores, removing the protective cover on the surface and
causing discoloration.
• Intensive cleansers such as bleaches are used. >>> Protective cover on metal surfaces
gets damaged and looses its efficiency in time when it gets in contact with cleansers
such as bleach. Do not wash your dishes with bleach.
• Metal items particularly such as knives are used for purposes other then their intended
uses. >>> Protective cover on the edges of knives may get damaged when they are
used for purposes such as opening cans. Do not use metal kitchen utensils out of their
intended uses.
• Cutlery are made of low quality stainless steel. >>> Corrosion on such items is inevitable;
they should not be washed in dishwashers.
• Kitchen utensils that are already corroded are washed in dishwasher. >>> Rust on a
corroded item can migrate to other stainless steel surfaces and cause corrosion on those
surfaces as well. Such items should not be washed in dishwashers.
C
Decorated glasses and decorated lustre porcelains are not suitable for washing in
the dishwasher. Manufacturers of some glassware and porcelain tableware items
do not recommend washing such kitchen utensils in the dishwashers either.
Dishes are scratched.
•
C Kitchen utensils that contains or are made of aluminum should not be washed in
dishwasher.
Salt leakage exists. >>> Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while
adding salt. Spilled salt can cause scratches. Make sure that the salt reservoir lid is tightly
closed after finishing the filling process. Run the prewash programme to remove the salt
that spilled inside the machine. Since the salt granules that will remain under the lid will
dissolve during prewash, causing the lid loosen, check the lid once again at the end of the
programme.
• Water hardness setting is low or salt level is insufficient >>> Measure the hardness of
the supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting.
• Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine. >>> When placing the glasses and other
glassware into the basket lean them not against other dishes but the edges or racks of
the basket or the glass support tines. Striking of the glasses to each other or to other
