Preparation
C
Salt reservoir will be filled with
water when you start the
product. For this reason, add salt
before operating the machine.
1. Firstly, take the lower basket out to add
softening salt.
2. Turn the salt reservoir lid counter-
clockwise to open it (A).
3. Add 1 litre of water to salt reservoir of
your machine only in initial use.
4. Fill the salt reservoir with salt by
using the salt funnel (D). 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.
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
hardness level of the supply
water in your new location.
Your machine will display the
most recently adjusted water
hardness level.
Addng salt
Water softening system needs to be
regenerated in order for the product operates
with the same performance continuously.
Dishwasher salt is used for this purpose.
C
Use only special softening salts
produced particularly for the
dishwashers in your machine.
C
It is recommended to use
granule- or powder-formed
softening salts in the water
softening system. Do not use
salts that do not completely
dissolve in water such as table
salt or rock salt. Otherwise the
performance of the system may
deteriorate in time.

Dishwasher / User’s Manual 15/41 EN
Preparation
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,
liquid/gel or tablet detergent in the
reservoir.
C
Inside 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.
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.
Detergent
You can use powder, liquid/gel or tablet
detergents in the machine.
A
Only use in the machine the
detergents produced particularly
for use with dishwashers.
We recommend you not use
detergents that contain chlorine
and phosphate as they are
harmful for the environment.
Adding detergent
C
Pay attention to the warnings
on the detergent packaging
to get better washing and
drying results. Contact the
manufacturer of the detergent
for further questions.
A
Do not put solvents into the
detergent dispenser. There is
the risk of explosion!

16 Dishwasher / User’s Manual/41 EN
Preparation
C
The best washing performance
in dishwashers is obtained by

detergent manufacturer on
the package when using tablet
detergents.
C
Contact the detergent
manufacturer if your dishes
are wet and/or if you notice
limescale spots particularly on
your glasses after the washing
programme is over when using a
tablet detergent.
When you switch to powder
detergent from tablet detergent:
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

C
Use powder or liquid/gel
detergent in short programmes
without prewash since the
solubility of the tablet detergent
changes depending on the
temperature and time.
Tablet detergents
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.

Wipe clean any spilled rinse
aid outside the reservoir. Rinse
aid that spilled accidentally
will cause foaming and it will
eventually decrease washing
performance.

Decorative 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.

Preparation
Placng the dshes nto the
dshwasher
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.
