Preparation
C
When the detergent warning
lamp gives a warning, it will go
away in a short while after you
add liquid/gel detergent. If the
warning light is still on after a
washing cycle, you can remove
the detergent cartridge, shake it
a few times and reinstall it.
This may occur because of the
blockage of the warning gauge
due to the detergent residues
remained in the cartridges after
a long term use.
To avoid this, it is recommended
to clean the detergent cartridge
thoroughly once in two or three
months.
You can soak it in lukewarm
water, and you can can wash
with tap water.
This way, dosing problems
caused by accumulated
detergent residues, as well
as blockage of the warning
mechanism is prevented and it is
ensured that the system works
properly.

TIPS ON LIQUID/GEL DETERGENT
USAGE
After the program finished, if cups and
saucers have stains inside or the color of
them is changed, this may be due to the
one of the following reasons, or even a
combination of more ;
- Colored stains(eg: tea, coffee.) are left in
the cup or saucer for a considerable time
- Using a short or low temperature wash
cycle
- Stale or damp detergent
- Poor quality detergent
- Hard water area without the use of
Rinse Aid
- Old or scratched crockery. (If you have
any kind of surface damage to cups, you
are far more likely to see stains.)
Washing algorithm of your dishwasher is
optimized to provide better cleaning. If you
face such kind of problems on your dishes
please;
1. Do not leave your dishes with colored
stains for a long time
2. Use longer programs like Eco or
Intensive.

to heat, as well as copper and tin-plated
containers in the dishwasher.
C
Decorative prints of chinaware
as well as aluminum and silver
items may get discoloured or
tarnished after washing in the
dishwasher just as it happens
in handwashing as well. 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
You can use your dishwasher in the optimum
way with respect to 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, accumulation of
water in deep hollows is prevented.
A
To prevent possible injuries,
always place the sharp and
pointed dishes such as service
fork, bread knife, etc. upside
down so as their pointed ends
will face down or they will lie
horizontally in the dish basket.
Unload dishes in the lower basket first and
then the dishes in the upper basket.
