the machine from damages
that may arise from impurities
(sand, dirt, rust, etc.) coming
from the urban water supply
system or from your own water
system as well as to prevent

Tps for energy savng
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

completely.
When selecting a programme, consider
the table of "Programme data and average
consumption values".
Do not put more detergent than suggested
on the detergent package.
Water softenng system
The product is equipped with a water
softening system which reduces the
hardness of incoming water. This system
softens the supply water to a level that will
allow washing the dishes with the required
quality.
Dishwasher salt is used for this purpose.

Dishwasher / User’s Manual 13/50 EN
PreparatIon
Unpack the test
strip. Open the tap and
let the water ow for
approx. 1 minute.
Dip in the test strip

Take out the strip
from the water and
shake it.
Wait for 1 minute. Make the necessary
adjustment
according to the test
strip.
After detecting the water hardness:
1. After switching on your machine, press and hold the Menu key for 3 seconds.
C
Some models require pressing
Menu key once to enter settings
menu.
2. Using <- and +> keys, proceed until the water hardness setting indicator becomes on (“r”
position will be displayed).
3. Using the Selection key, adjust water hardness level according to the hardness of the
supply water. For correct setting please see "Water hardness level setting table".

3. Add 1 litre of water to salt reservoir of
your machine only in initial use.
4. Add salt to the salt compartment. To
speed up dissolution rate of salt in
water, stir it with a spoon.
C
You can put about 2 kg of
softening salt into the salt
reservoir.
5. Replace the lid and tighten it when the
reservoir is full.
C
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.
C
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.
If the hardness level of the water that
you use is above 50°dH or if you are using
well water, than it is recommended to use
filter and water purification devices.If the
hardness level of the water that you use
is below 7°dH, there is no need to use salt
in your dishwasher. In this case, the Salt
Indicator light on the control panel of your
dishwasher will light continuously.
If the water hardness is set to level 1,
the Salt Indicator will light continuously
although it is not necessary to use salt. If
you use salt under this condition, salt will
not be consumed and the lamp will not
illuminate.
C
When moving, you will need
to set the water hardness
level of your dishwasher again
according to the information
above, depending on the water
hardness of the place you have
moved to.
If the water hardness level
of your machine is adjusted
previously, your machine
will display the most recent
hardness level adjustment.
C
Adjust the water softness
level according to the "Water
hardness level instruction"
supplied with your machine.
Addng salt
C
Use only special softening salts
produced particularly for the
dishwashers in your machine.
1. First take the lower basket out to add
softening salt.
2. Turn the salt reservoir lid counter-
clockwise to open it (A).

liquid/gel detergents that act as
rinse aid and/or soften water.
Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations when using
these detergents.
Detergent manufacturer’s recommendations
about the amount of liquid/gel detergent to be
used are as follows:
For lightly soiled dishes 20 ml
For moderately soiled dishes 25 ml
For heavily soiled dishes 30 ml
C
Some gel-type detergents may
not be suitable for automatic
dosing as they are highly
viscous. Apply this type of
detergents onto the inner
surface of the dishwasher’s
door or directly into the
dishwasher, paying attention
to the recommendations of the
detergent manufacturer.

You can use powder, tablet and liquid/gel
detergent in the machine.
A
Only use the detergents
produced particularly for
use with dishwashers in the

not to use detergents that
contain chlorine and phosphate
as they are harmful for the
environment.
Your dishwasher is equipped with an
Automatic Liquid/Gel Detergent Dosing
System.
Thanks to this system, the amount of rinse
aid and liquid/gel detergent required for the
selected washing programme is adjusted
automatically.

the panel will light up if there
is liquid/gel detergent in the
detergent box. If there is little or
no detergent in the detergent
box, the indicator will flash.

When the Automatic Liquid/
Gel Detergent indicator starts
to flash, there is enough
detergent for at least 5 washing
cycles.

C
The rinse aid used in
dishwashers is a special
product that is recommended
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.
Using the Automatic Liquid/Gel
Detergent Dosing System
In order to use the Automatic Liquid/
Gel Detergent Dosing function, select
Automatic Liquid/Gel Detergent Dosing

C
Liquid/gel detergents that lost
their fluidity and became firm
must not be used in automatic
liquid/gel detergent dosing
system.
Liquid/gel detergents must be used in a
short time once they have been unpacked.
Unpacked liquid/gel detergents may lose
their fluidity in time.
C
When the detergent warning
lamp gives a warning, it will go
away in a short while after you
add liquid/gel detergent. If the
warning light is still on after a
washing cycle, you can remove
the detergent cartridge, shake
it a few times and reinstall it.
This may occur because of the
blockage of the warning gauge
due to the detergent residues
remained in the cartridges after
a long term use.
To avoid this, it is recommended
to clean the detergent cartridge
thoroughly once in two or three
months.
You can soak it in lukewarm
water, and you can can wash
with tap water.
This way, dosing problems
caused by accumulated
detergent residues, as well

TIPS ON LIQUID/GEL DETERGENT
USAGE
After the program finished, if cups and
saucers have stains inside or the color of
them is changed, this may be due to the
one of the following reasons, or even a
combination of more ;
- Colored stains(eg: tea, coffee.) are left
in the cup or saucer for a considerable
time
- Using a short or low temperature wash
cycle
- Stale or damp detergent
- Poor quality detergent
- Hard water area without the use of
Rinse Aid
- Old or scratched crockery. (If you have
any kind of surface damage to cups,
you are far more likely to see stains.)
Washing algorithm of your dishwasher is
optimized to provide better cleaning. If you
face such kind of problems on your dishes
please;
1. Do not leave your dishes with colored
stains for a long time
2. Use longer programs like Eco or
Intensive.
3. Check quality and storing conditions of
your detergent
4. Check water hardness on your region
and make the necessary changes
needed.
5. Clean your detergent cartridge
periodically (every 3 month) to remove
solid or viscous residues inside. These
residues may cause insufficient
dosage.
6. Increase the detergent dosage amount
from the settings to improve the
cleaning performance. ‘’
Tablet detergents
Table 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.

with wooden or bone stems, glued
pieces, or pieces that are not resistant

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.
•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.
A
To 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.
