As long as the overflowing continues safety algorithm will be active and try to discharge the water. If overflowing stops and safety is assured, E:01 icon will disappear. If E:01 does not disappear, there is a permanent fault. In this case the authorised service should be contacted.

InnerClean
This program is recommended to be operated on each 1-2 months for machine cleaning and necessary hygiene. The program should be operated while the machine is empty.
In order to achieve an efficient result, it is recommended to use together with special machine cleaning agents.

Do not use this program to clean dishes. As it operates in high temperatures, it is harmful for the dishes.

DETERGENT

You can use powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergents in the machine.

Only use in the machine the detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers. We recommend you not to use detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate as they are harmful for the environment.

ADDING DETERGENT

Pay attention to the warnings on the detergent packaging to get better washing and drying results. Contact the manufacturer of the detergent for further questions.

Do not put solvents into the detergent dispenser. There is the risk of explosion!

Put the detergent into the detergent dispenser just before operating the machine as illustrated below.

1. Push the latch to right to open the detergent dispenser lid (A).
   
2. Put suggested amount of powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergent in the reservoir.
   Inside the detergent dispenser there are level markings that help you use appropriate amount of powder detergent.
   When brimful, detergent dispenser will contain 1.5 Ounces (45 cm³) of detergent.
   Fill detergent up to.5 Ounces (15 cm³) or.85 ounces (25 cm³) level marks in the detergent dispenser according to fullness of the machine and/or soiling degree of the dishes. One tablet is enough if you are using detergent tablets.
   
3. Push the lid of the detergent dispenser to close it. A "click" will be heard when the lid is closed.
   

Use powder or liquid/gel detergent in short programs without prewash since the solubility of the tablet detergent changes depending on the temperature and time.

TABLET DETERGENTS

In addition to the conventional tablet detergents, there are also commercially available detergent tablets that show water softening salt and/or rinse aid effect. Some types of these detergents contain special-purpose components such as glass and stainless steel protectors. These tablets show their effects up to a certain water hardness level (59 gpg). Water softening salt and rinse aid must also be used together with the detergent if the water hardness level is above the mentioned level.

The best washing performance in dishwashers is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt individually.

Observe the instructions of the detergent manufacturer on the package when using tablet detergents.

Contact the detergent manufacturer if your dishes are wet and/or if you notice limescale spots particularly on your glasses after the washing program is over when using a tablet detergent.

When you switch to powder detergent from tablet detergent:

1. Make sure that salt (Select Models) and rinse aid reservoirs are full.
2. Set the water hardness to the highest level and perform an empty run.
3. After the empty washing cycle, review the user manual and readjust the water hardness level so as to suit the water supply.
4. Make the appropriate rinse aid settings.

RINSE AID

The rinse aid used in dishwashers is a special combination that aims to increase drying efficiency and prevent water or lime stains on the washed items. For this reason, care must be paid to have rinse aid in the rinse aid reservoir and to use rinse aids produced specially for dishwashers only.

1. Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir with the help of the latch.
   
2. Fill the reservoir until "MAX" level.
   
3. Slightly press the point (B) of the reservoir lid to close it.
   
4. If there are stains on tableware items after washing, level must be increased and if there is a blue trace after wiping them by hand, it must be decreased. This is set to position 3 as factory default.

The rinse aid adjustment is described under "Adjusting the amount of rinse aid" in the section for operating the machine.

Wipe clean any spilled rinse aid outside the reservoir. Rinse aid that spilled accidentally will cause foaming and it will eventually decrease washing performance.

ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

(Select Models)
Cleaning, rinsing and drying performance of your dishwasher will increase when water softening system is adjusted properly.
Adjust the new water hardness level according to the Water hardness level instruction in this booklet.

If the hardness level of the supply water is above 154 gpg (grains per gallon) 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 22 gpg, 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.

If you move your house, it is necessary to readjust water hardness level of your machine by considering the information given above according to the hardness level of the supply water in your new location. Your machine will display the most recently adjusted water hardness level.

FILLING THE UNIT SALT DISPENSER

(Select Models)
Water softening system needs to be regenerated in order for the product operates with the same performance continuously. Dishwasher salt is used for this purpose.

Use only special softening salts produced particularly for the dishwashers in your machine.

It is recommended to use granule- or powder-formed softening salts in the water softening system. Do not use salts that do not completely dissolve in water such as table salt or rock salt. Otherwise the performance of the system may deteriorate in time.

Salt reservoir will be filled with water when you start the product. For this reason, add salt before operating the machine.

1. Firstly, take the lower basket out to add softening salt.
2. Turn the salt reservoir lid counterclockwise to open it (A, B).
   
3. Add 4 cups of water to salt reservoir of your machine only in initial use (C).
   
4. Fill the salt reservoir with salt by using the salt funnel (D). To speed up dissolution rate of salt in water, stir it with a spoon.
   

You can put about 4.4 Pounds of softening salt into the salt reservoir.

5. Replace the lid and tighten it when the reservoir is full.

You need to add salt right before starting the machine. Thus, the overflowing salty water will be flushed immediately, preventing the risk of corrosion in machine. In cases where you would not start washing immediately, run your machine empty in the shortest program.

Since different salt brands in the market have different particle sizes and since the water hardness may vary, dissolution of the salt in water may take a couple of hours. Therefore, Salt Indicator remains on for a while after adding salt into the machine.
