There is a different odor in the machine
C
A new machine has a peculiar odor. It will fade out after a couple of
washing.
•
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 program without detergent
every 2 days. In such cases, do not close the door of the machine completely
in order to avoid odor build up in machine. You can also use commercially
available odor 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 program 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 program.
•
Salty food remnants have remained on dishes for a long time. >>> If
silverware 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.
•
Silverware 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.
Detergent remains in detergent dispenser.
•
Detergent dispenser was damp when adding detergent. >>> Make sure that
the detergent dispenser is dried well prior to filling it with detergent.
•
Detergent is added long before the washing process. >>> Pay attention to
add detergent shortly before start-up of the washing.
