Tips for energy saving
Following information will help you
use the product in an ecological and
energy-efficient manner.
• Wipe away any coarse food
remnants on the dishes before
putting them in the product.
• Operate the product after filling it
completely.
• When selecting a programme,
refer to the “Programme Table”.
• Do not put more detergent than
suggested on the detergent
package.
Detergent
You can use powder or tablet detergent
in the machine.
COnly 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.
CContact the detergent producer if
the dishes are wet and/or if you
notice limescale spots particularly
on glasses after the washing
programme is over.
Adding detergent
CRefer to the “Programme Table”
to determine the correct amount
of detergent for the selected
programme.
BDo 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
or tablet detergent in the dispenser.
CInside the detergent dispenser,
there are level markings that help
you use appropriate amount of
detergent. When brimful, detergent
dispenser will contain 40 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 (1).
CIf dishes have been waiting for a
long time and have dried residues,
fill the 5 cm³ compartment too (5).
3. Close the detergent dispenser lid
by pressing on it lightly. A “click” will
be heard when the lid is closed.

12 EN
1013_redaksiyon
1013_redaksiyon
CIn programmes with prewash and at
high temperature, in which you 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.
Rinse aid
CThe rinse aid used in dishwashers
is a special combination used to
increase drying efficiency and
prevent water or limescale 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.
Check Rinse Aid Indicator to determine
whether it is necessary to add rinse aid
or not (3). Having a dark light on the
indicator shows that there is sufficient
amount of rinse aid in the dispenser. If
the colour of the indicator is light, add
rinse aid.
1. Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir
by pressing its latch (B).
2. Fill the reservoir until “MAX” level.
3. Close the lid of the reservoir by
pressing on it lightly.
CWipe clean any spilled rinse aid
outside the reservoir. Rinse aid
that spilled accidentally will cause
foaming and it will eventually
decrease washing performance.

4. Turn the rinse aid amount
adjuster manually to a position
between 1 and 6 (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 4
as factory default.
Items not suitable for washing in the
dishwasher
• Never wash dishes soiled by
cigarette ash, candle remnants,
polish, dyestuff, chemicals, etc. in
your dishwasher.
• Do not wash iron alloy items in the
dishwasher. It can get corroded or

13 EN
they will lie horizontally on the dish
baskets.
• Unload dishes in the lower basket
first and then the dishes in the
upper basket.
CDecorative prints of chinaware as
well as aluminum 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.
Placing the dishes into 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.
• 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
