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 Rinse & Hold 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 Rinse & Hold program to remove the salt that spilled inside the machine. Since the salt
granules that will remain under the lid will dissolve during Rinse & Hold, 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, food particles 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 loses its
efficiency in time when it comes 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.
• Opening of the detergent dispenser lid is prevented during washing. >>> 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 in a closed container if possible. For ease of storing, we recommend you to use
tablet detergents.
• Wash Arm holes are clogged. >>> Lower and upper Wash Arm holes might be clogged with food remnants. Clean the
Wash Arm regularly as illustrated in section “Cleaning and Care”.
Decorations and ornaments on kitchen utensils are being erased.
C
Decorated glasses and decorated luster porcelains are not suitable for washing in the dishwasher.
Manufacturers of glassware and porcelain tableware items do not recommend washing such kitchen
utensils in the dishwashers either.
Dishes are scratched.
C
Kitchen utensils that contains or are made of aluminum should not be washed in dishwasher.
• Salt leakage exists. >>> Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while adding salt. Spilled salt can
cause scratches. Make sure that the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after finishing the filling process. Run the Rinse
& Hold program to remove the salt that spilled inside the machine. Since the salt granules that will remain under the
lid will dissolve during Rinse & Hold, causing the lid to loosen, check the lid once again at the end of the program.
• Water hardness setting is low or salt level is insufficient >>> Measure the hardness of the supply water appropriately
and check the water hardness setting.
• Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine. >>> When placing the glasses and other glassware into the basket
lean them not against other dishes but the edges or racks of the basket or the glass support wire. Striking of the
glasses to each other or to other dishes due to the impact of water during washing can cause breaks, or scratches on
their surfaces.
