Electrcal Safety
The dshwasher should only be
operated on the voltage specfed.
For electrcal safety, only earthed
plugs and sockets should be used.
Always use the fused plug provded
wth the applance. The user s
responsble for meetng these basc
safety requrements. The lfe of your
machne and your safety depend on
you usng an electrcal nstallaton
complant to standards.
Do not use an extenson cable.
When dsconnectng your machne
from the mans supply, always pull
from the plug. Never pull the cord
tself.
Chldren’s Safety
Never allow your chldren to play wth

receptacle s empty after completon
of the wash cycle.
Keep detergents out of chldren’s
reach and do not put detergent n the
machne untl rght before you start
the washng programme.
The water n your dshwasher s not
sutable for drnkng, for ths reason
do not allow your chldren near your
machne when the front door s open.
Never allow your chldren to play on or
st onto the front door when the front
door s open.

Water hardness & regeneraton settngs
The dishwasher requires lime free water. Hard water leaves watermarks on
your dishes. Your dishwasher has a special water softening system to remove
the hardness of the tap water. Setting this system correctly will increase the
washing eectiveness.
To nd out the hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water
Board or determine water hardness level by the help of test strip provided.
If you move to a derent locaton, the level of water hardness wll
possbly be derent. It s essental to reset the water hardness n
order to obtan optmum washng ecency.
Test Strip
Let the water
flow from your
tap for 1 minute.
Remove the
test strip from
its packing.
Fill a glass with

If the hardness of the water you
use is more than 80°dF (French
Hardness) or if you are using well
water, we recommend that you
use lters and puriers.
* If your tap water is below 8dF
(French hardness), you do not need
to use special dishwasher salt in your
machine. In this case, salt indicator
light will be on continuously.

Addng Dshwasher Salt
Only use specal pelletzed
dshwasher salt n your machne to
soften the hard water. Never use
other types of salts ncludng table
salt, anmal feedng salt, sea salt,
culnary salt. These types of salt do
not dssolve n water easly and wll
damage your applance beyond repar.
When you run the dshwasher, the
Water softener wll be full of water.
Therefore, addng softenng salt
should always be done mmedately
before you start the dshwasher.
Cauton: Only fll wth salt just before
startng one of the complete washng
programmes to prevent any grans of
salt causng corroson. Ensure 1lt of
water has been added. You can put
approxmately 2 kg softenng salt n
the Water softener.
To fll the contaner wth softenng
salt, remove the lower rack frst
and unscrew the cap of the water
softener turnng ant clockwse.
Usng the funnel provded wll make
fllng easer.
After you fll the contaner, screw
cap tghtly back nto place turnng
clockwse untl you hear a clck sound.
In case the lght of the salt ndcator s
stll on for a long tme after fllng wth
salt, mx the salty water nsde the
salt box usng a spoon.

Detergent use
Any brand of powder, gel and tablet
detergents that have been desgned
for household dshwashers, may be
used.
Keep detergents n a cool and dry
place and out of the reach of chldren.
Detergent must be added to the
contaner before each use.
Detergent overdose may cause
scratches on your dshes and there
may be traces of detergent left n
your machne.
Three types of detergent are
avalable
• Phosphate and containing
chlorine.
• Phosphate containing no chlorine
• Neither containing phosphate nor
chlorine
New compact powders are generally
phosphate-free. As phosphates
have water softenng propertes,
we suggest you add salt to the salt
contaner even f the hardness of your
water s as low as a 6 clarke degrees.
In hard water areas f a phosphate
free detergent s used, whte marks
on the dshes and glasses may be
observed. It may be prevented by
ncreasng the amount of detergent.
Detergents wthout chlorne have
less bleachng eect. Coloured stans
may not be completely removed.
Ths may be prevented by ncreasng

Warnng!
Two-n-one and three-n-one
detergents
You wll obtan the best results from
your dshwasher f you use separate
detergent, rnse ad and water-
softenng salt.
Detergent manufacturers also
produce combned detergents known
as ‘two-n-one’ and ‘three-n-one’.
Three-n-one: These products contan
detergent, rnse ad and water-
softenng salt.
Two-n-one: These products contan
detergent and ether rnse ad or
water-softenng salt.
In general, you wll obtan satsfactory
results from combned detergents
only under specfc usage condtons.
These detergents contan
predetermned amounts of rnse ad
and/or softenng salt. Ths means
that you cannot adjust the amount
of water-softenng salt and rnse ad
requred to sut the water hardness
level n your home.
You should bear the followng ponts
n mnd when usng such detergents:
• Be sure to check the
specications of the product
you are using and whether it is a
combined product or not.
• Follow the instructions on
the packet when using these
products.
• The use of these products at the
correct appliance settings will
ensure economical use of salt
and/or rinse aid.
• If the detergent is in tablet form,
never place these in the internal
section or cutlery basket of
the dishwasher. Always place
the tablets in the detergent
dispenser of the detergent
holder.
Usng three-n-one detergent,
softenng salt and rnse ad.
• These detergents will not give
you the same drying performance
that you can obtain by using
separate detergent, salt and
rinse aid. To increase the drying
performance:
• Put your appliance’s rinse aid
setting at “1” and apply rinse aid.
When the rinse aid is used up,
add more rinse aid to the rinse aid
dispenser.
• If you use combined detergents
with a rinse aid setting higher
than 1, hand contact may leave
rainbow-coloured water stains on
the washed items and inside the
machine.
• If you use combined detergents
without adding salt, lime scale
may form especially on glasses.
To avoid lime scale formation:
• Put your appliance’s water
softener setting at “1” and add
salt. When the salt is used
up, add more salt to the water
softener.
Usng two-n-one detergent:
detergent and softenng salt
• These detergents do not contain
rinse aid so you need to use the

15 GB
rinse aid setting as described in
the manual, making sure that
there is rinse aid in the rinse
aid dispenser with every wash
and that you rell the rinse aid
dispenser with rinse aid every
time it is empty.

Fllng detergent dspenser
If the dshwasher s consderably full
and the dshes are relatvely drty, fll
the man contaner (A) up to 25cm
level. If the dshwasher s not qute
full and the dshes are only slghtly
soled, fll the man contaner (A) only
up to 15cm level.
If your dshes are kept unwashed for
a long tme and the food partcles are
stuck on the dshes also fll the small
contaner (B) up to 5cm. Dependng

16 GB
on the degree of solng and the
water hardness n your area t may be
necessary to add more detergent.
Powder and gel detergents are
poured nto the dspenser.
If you are usng tablet detergent read
the manufacturer’s recommendatons
on the packagng n order to
determne where the tablets should
be placed nsde the dshwasher
(detergent dspenser, cutlery basket,
etc.)
After you put n the detergent, shut
the contaner ld (D) and ensure you
hear the clckng sound.
Durng the wash programme the
detergent wll dspense automatcally
and the ld (D) wll reman open when
the programme fnshes.
Do not use detergent when usng the
pre-wash programme.
Detergent resdues
Regular use of low temperature
washes and/or short duraton
programmes can lead to undssolved
detergent resdue buld up. We
recommend to carry out a servce
wash at the hghest temperature
possble every 3 - 4 months wth the
dshwasher empty and wthout usng
detergent. It s not recommended to
carry t out wth auto programme.
Rnse ad
Use only rnse ad ntended for
household dshwashers.
The rnse ad s specally formulated
to be used n the dshwashers for
the preventon of watermarks and
scale on dshes and to ncrease the
ecency of the washng and dryng
processes. Therefore, make sure that
there s adequate amount of rnse
ad n the rnse ad dspenser of your
machne.
You can adjust the amount of rnse
ad used durng the wash programme
by turnng the rnse ad dspenser
regulator (C).
The dspenser regulator (C) may be
set between levels 1 and 6 (6 beng
the maxmum amount of rnse ad
usage). Your machne s pre-set at the
factory to level 4.
Accordng to the fnsh and dryng
results obtaned, adjust the dose of
rnse ad by means of the sx poston
selector. (Poston 1: mnmum dose,
Poston 6: maxmum dose.) Gradually
ncrease the dose f there are drops
of water or lme spots on the dshes
after washng. Reduce t f there are
stcky whtsh streaks on the dshes.
Fllng the rnse ad dspenser
