CYour dishwasher requires
soft water. If the hardness
of the water is above 6°dH,
the water must be softened
and descaled. Otherwise,
ions that create the hardness
will accumulate on the
surfaces of the dishes and
may adversely affect the
washing, shining and drying
performances of the product.
The product is equipped with a water
softening system which reduces the
hardness of incoming water. This system
softens the supply water that enters
into the product to a level that will allow
washing the dishes with the required
quality.

CWe recommend using
granular or powder softening
salts. Do not use salts that
are insoluble in water such
as table salt or common
salt. Performance of water
softening system may get
worse in time.
CSalt reservoir will fill with
water when you start the
product. Therefore, add the
softening salt before starting
the machine.
1. First take the lower basket out to
add softening salt.
2. Turn the salt reservoir lid in counter

Preparation
CYou can put about 2 kg of
softening salt into the salt
reservoir.
4. Replace the lid and tighten it
securely when the reservoir is full.
5. If you will not start a washing
programme immediately after
adding the salt, run the machine
empty in the shortest programme
to dissolve and wash away the
scattered salt in the machine.
CSince 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.
CSalt reservoir will fill with
water when you start the
product. Therefore, add the
softening salt before starting
the machine.
CBefore initial use, fill the

3. Fill the salt reservoir with salt by
using salt funnel (D). To speed up
dissolution rate of salt in water, stir
it with a spoon.

Preparation
CIn programmes with
pre-washing and high
temperature, in which you
may use tablet detergents,
make sure that the detergent
dispenser lid is closed firmly.
CUse powder detergent in
short programmes without
prewash since the solubility
of the tablet detergent
changes depending on the
temperature and time.
AExcessive usage of powder
detergents will cause the
detergent not dissolve
completely and will also
cause scratches on the
glassware.

Combined tablet detergents exhibit
water softening and / or rinse aid effect
in addition to detergent effect. Some
types of these detergents also contain
special-purpose washing chemicals
such as glass and stainless steel
protectors.
CThe best washing
performance in dishwashers
is obtained by using
detergent, rinse aid and
water softening salt
individually.
Combined tablet detergents are
available as 3in1, 5in1, Allin1 etc. They
function only up to a specific degree
of water hardness. Above this limit
regeneration salt and rinse aid must be
added. Refer to the instructions on the
packaging of the combined detergent
whether it is suitable for the hardness
level of the water supply.
CWhile using combined tablet
detergents, contact with
the detergent producers if
your dishes are wet and/
or if you notice limescale
spots particularly on your
glasses after the washing
programme is over.

1. Make sure that salt 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.

CThe 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.
Please check the rinse aid indicator
on the display to see whether there is
adequate amount of rinse aid in the
dishwasher or not. You need to refill
the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid
whenever rinse aid warning indicator
appears on the display of your
machine.
1. Open the lid of the rinse aid
reservoir by pulling the latch in the
direction of the arrow (B).
2. Fill the reservoir until “MAX” level.
3. Turn the rinse aid amount
adjuster manually to a position
between 1 and 6 (C). 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 4
as factory default.
4. Close the lid of the reservoir by
pressing on it lightly.
CAfter making sure that the
lid is closed, wipe clean
any spilled rinse aid outside
the reservoir. Rinse aid
that spilled accidentally will
cause foaming and it will
eventually decrease washing
performance.

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.
There are two separate baskets in
which you can place your dishes in
the dishwasher. 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.
ATo 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.
