machine by pressing the On / Off button.
Dishes are not washed clean
• Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine. >>> Load the dishes as 
described in the user manual.
• Selected programme is unsuitable. >>> Select a programme with a higher 
temperature and cycle time.
• Impellers are stuck. >>> Prior to starting the programme, turn the lower and 
upper impellers by hand to make sure that they rotate freely.
• Impeller holes are clogged. >>> Lower and upper impeller holes might 
be clogged with food remnants such as lemon pips. Clean the impellers 
regularly as illustrated in section "Cleaning and Care".
• Filters are clogged. >>> Check if the filter system is clean. Clean the filter 
system regularly as illustrated in section "Cleaning and Care".
• Filters are installed incorrectly. >>> Check the filter system and make sure 
that it is installed correctly.
• Baskets are overloaded.  >>> Do not overload the baskets in excess of their 
capacity.
• Detergent is stored under unsuitable conditions. >>> If you are using powder 
detergent, do not store the detergent package in humid places. Keep it i\
n a 
closed container if possible. For ease-of-storing, we recommend you to u\
se 
tablet detergents.
• Detergent is not sufficient. >>> If you are using powder detergent, adjust 
the amount of detergent according to the soiling degree of your dishes a\
nd/
or programme definitions. We recommend you to use tablet detergents for 
optimum results.
• 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

Dishes are not dry at the end of cycle
• Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine. >>> Place your dishes in a 
way that no water will accumulate in them.
• 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 pie\
ce 
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 at 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.

•  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

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, chec\
k 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 
washing.
•  Filters are clogged. >>> Check if the filter system is clean. Clean the filter 
system regularly as illustrated in section "Cleaning and Care".

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 clos\
ed after 
finishing the filling process. Run the prewash programme to remove the s\
alt

n 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 
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, remov\
ing 
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 ge\
ts in 
contact with cleansers such as bleach. Do not wash your dishes with blea\
ch.
• Metal items particularly such as knives are used for purposes other then\
 
their intended uses.  >>> Protective cover on the edges of knives may get

Place the dishes in a way that will not prevent the detergent dispenser \
lid 
from opening and the water going into the machine from impellers.
• Detergent is stored under unsuitable conditions. >>> If you are using powder 
detergent, do not store the detergent package in humid places. Keep it i\
n a 
closed container if possible. For ease-of-storing, we recommend you to u\
