If the hardness level of the supply water is above 90 °dF or if you are using well water, then it
is recommended to use water purification devices and special filters.
If the hardness level of the supply water is below 13°dF, there is no need to use salt in your
dishwasher. If this is the case, “No Salt Warning Indicator” (if any) illuminates continuously on
the panel of your machine.
If the water hardness level adjustment is set to level 1, the “No salt warning indicator” will
illuminate continuously although it is not necessary to use salt. If you use salt under this
condition, salt will not be consumed and the Salt indicator will not illuminate.
C
If you move your house, it is
necessary to readjust water
hardness level of your machine
by considering the information
given above according to the

PreparatIon
Detergent
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
machine. We recommend you
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.
C
Please read the information
given in section “Operating
the Product” to activate or
deactivate the Automatic
Liquid/Gel Detergent Dosing
adjustment.
C
When the Automatic Liquid/
Gel Detergent function is
enabled, the Automatic Liquid/
Gel Detergent indicator on
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.
C
When the Automatic Liquid/
Gel Detergent indicator starts
to flash, there is enough
detergent for at least 5 washing
cycles.
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.

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
as blockage of the warning
mechanism is prevented and
it is ensured that the system
works properly.
C
If a different brand or type
of liquid/gel detergent will
be used, make sure previous
detergent is depleted
completely and then remove
and clean the liquid/gel
detergent tank under tap water.

Fill the rinse air box only with
rinse aid, and the detergent box

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.
C
Tablet detergents give
satisfying results only under
certain usage conditions. The
best washing performance in
dishwashers is obtained by
using detergent, rinse aid and
water softening salt individually.
