stir it with a spoon.
CYou can put about 2 kg of
softening salt into the salt
reservoir.
5. Replace the lid and tighten it when
the reservoir is full.
CYou 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.
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.

of the tablet detergent
changes depending on the
temperature and time.

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 (21°dH).
Water softening salt and rinse aid
must also be used together with the
detergent if the water hardness level is
above the mentioned level.
CInside the detergent
dispenser there are level
markings that help you
use appropriate amount of
powder detergent. When
brimful, detergent dispenser
will contain 45 cm³ of
detergent. Fill detergent up
to 15 cm³ or 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.

CThe best washing
performance in dishwashers
is obtained by using
detergent, rinse aid and
water softening salt
individually.
CObserve the instructions of
the detergent manufacturer
on the package when using

manufacturer if your dishes
are wet and/or if you notice
limescale spots particularly
on your glasses after the

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.
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.
CThe rinse aid adjustment is
described under "Adjusting
the amount of rinse aid" in
the section for operating the
machine.
CWipe clean any spilled
rinse aid outside the
reservoir. Rinse aid that
spilled accidentally will
cause foaming and it will
eventually decrease washing
performance.

•Never wash dishes soiled by
cigarette ash, candle remnants,
polish, dyestuff, chemicals, etc. in
your dishwasher.
•Do not wash silverware and
cutlery with wooden or bone
stems, glued pieces, or pieces that
are not resistant to heat, as well as
copper and tin-plated containers in
the dishwasher.
CDecorative prints of
chinaware as well as
aluminium 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.

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.
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.
