Tips for energy saving
Following information will help you
use the product in an ecological and
energy-efcient manner.
Wipe away any coarse food remnants
on the dishes before putting them in
the product.
Operate the product after lling it
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 softening 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.
CThe mains water hardness
must be softened if it is over
7°dH. Otherwise, hardness
ions will accumulate
on the dishes that are
washed and may affect
the washing, rinsing and
drying performances of the
machine.
Adjusting the water softening
system
Cleaning, rinsing and drying
performance of your dishwasher will
increase when water softening system
is adjusted properly.
Adjust the new water hardness level
according to the Water hardness level
instruction in this booklet.
Use the test strip supplied with the

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 purication devices and special lters.
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.

/40 EN
Preparation
CIf 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.
Adding 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.
CUse only special softening
salts produced particularly
for the dishwashers in your
machine.
CIt 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.
CSalt reservoir will be lled
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.
CYou can put about 2 kg of
softening salt into the salt
reservoir.
5. Replace the lid and tighten it when
the reservoir is full.
CYou need to add salt right
before starting the machine.
Thus, the overowing
salty water will be ushed
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.

Dishwasher / User manual 15 / 40 EN
Preparation
CSince 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.
AOnly use in the machine
the detergents produced
particularly for use
with dishwashers. We
recommend you not to use
detergents that contain
chlorine and phosphate
as they are harmful for the
environment.
Adding detergent
CPay attention to the
warnings on the detergent
packaging to get better
washing and drying results.
Contact the manufacturer
of the detergent for further
questions.
ADo 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).
2. Put suggested amount of powder,
liquid/gel or tablet detergent in the
reservoir.
CInside 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.

16 Dishwasher / User manual
/40 EN
Preparation
Water softening salt and rinse aid
must also be used together with the
detergent if the water hardness level is
above the mentioned level.
CThe best washing
performance in dishwashers
is obtained by using
detergent, rinse aid and
water softening salt
individually.
CObserve the instructions of
the detergent manufacturer
on the package when using
tablet detergents.
CContact 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
3. Push the lid of the detergent
dispenser to close it. A "click" will
be heard when the lid is closed.

3
CUse 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).

Dishwasher / User manual 17 / 40 EN
Preparation
3. Slightly press the point (B) of the
reservoir lid to close it.
4. If there are stains on tableware
items after washing, level must
be increased and if there is a blue
trace after wiping them by hand, it
must be decreased. This is set to
position 3 as factory default.
CThe rinse aid adjustment is
described under "Adjusting
the amount of rinse aid" in
the section for operating the
machine.
CWipe clean any spilled
rinse aid outside the
reservoir. Rinse aid that
spilled accidentally will
cause foaming and it will
eventually decrease washing
performance.
Items not suitable for washing
in the dishwasher
• Never wash dishes soiled by
cigarette ash, candle remnants,
polish, dyestuff, chemicals, etc. in
your dishwasher.
• Do not wash silverware and
cutlery with wooden or bone
stems, glued pieces, or pieces that
are not resistant to heat, as well as
copper and tin-plated containers in
the dishwasher.
readjust the water hardness level
so as to suit the water supply.
4. Make the appropriate rinse aid
settings.
Rinse aid
CThe rinse aid used in
dishwashers is a special
combination that aims to
increase drying efciency
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.
2. Fill the reservoir until “MAX” level.

18 Dishwasher / User manual
/40 EN
Preparation
CDecorative prints of
chinaware as well as
aluminum 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.
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.
ATo 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
rst and then the dishes in the upper
basket.
