Dishwasher / User manual

Troubleshooting
• 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. 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.
There is a different odour in 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
