Dishwasher / User’s Manual 15/45 EN
Preparation
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.
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.
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.
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.

16 Dishwasher / User’s Manual/45 EN
Preparation
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!
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). (depends
on model)
2. Put suggested amount of powder,
liquid/gel or tablet detergent in the
reservoir.
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.
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.

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.
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.

18 Dishwasher / User’s Manual/45 EN
Preparation
C
The best washing performance
in dishwashers is obtained by
using detergent, rinse aid and
water softening salt individually.
C
Observe the instructions of the
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
hardness level so as to suit the water
supply.
4. Make the appropriate rinse aid settings.
Rnse ad
C
The rinse aid used in
dishwashers is a special
combination that aims 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.
1. Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir
with the help of the latch.
