Tips for energy saving
Following information will help you use the
product in an ecological and energy-efficient
manner.
Wipe away any coarse food remnants on the
dishes before putting them in the product.
Operate the product after filling 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
Washing performance will increase when
water softening system is adjusted properly.

DISHWASHER / USER INSTRUCTIONS 15 / 32 EN
Preparation
If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 90 °dF (French standard for water hardness) or if
you are using well water, than it is recommended to use lter and water purication devices.
* If the hardness level of the water that you use is below 8°dF (French standard for water hardness), 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 adjustment is set to level 1, the “No salt warning indicator” will illuminate continu-
ously 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.
Warning:
If you move your house, it is very important to make the water hardness level adjustment of your machine
according to the new location you move in order to preserve the washing efciency.
If the water hardness level of your machine is adjusted previously, your machine will display the last water
hardness level adjustment. Adjust the new water hardness level of your machine on basis of the water
hardness level of your tap water.
ab c d e f
Remove the test
strip from the packet.
Turn on the tap and
let the water run for
about a minute.
Hold the test strip in
the water for about a
second.

Water Hardness & Regeneration Settings
Softening the water
Dishwashers require fairly soft water. If the hardness exceeds 6°dH lime scale will form on crockery. To
avoid this an automatic system adds a special salt to soften the water so that you obtain the best possible
cleaning and drying performance.
To nd out the hardness level of your water contact your local water company, or use the enclosed test
strip to measure the water hardness:
Perform the same hardness level
adjustment that you have set on the control
panel also with the regeneration adjustment
switch.
For example, if you have adjusted to “3” in
the control panel, also set the regeneration
adjustment switch to 3.
Regeneration Adjustment
Switch
1. When your machine is off, turn it on by pressing and holding the On / Off and Programme Selection key
for 5 seconds.
2. The stored water hardness level will be displayed on delay and programme follow-up indicators.
3. Use the Programme Selection key to adjust the water hardness according to a suitable level for your
mains water. See "Water hardness level adjustment table" for correct setting. While setting, the selected
regeneration value remains on and the end indicator ashes.
4. Save the setting by pressing the Start / Pause / Cancel key. The end indicator will remain on when the
setting is saved.
5. Press and hold the On / Off key for 1 second to turn the machine off.

Preparation
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 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.
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
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.
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.

DISHWASHER / USER INSTRUCTIONS 17 / 32 EN

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.
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.

Preparation
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.
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 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 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.
2. Fill the reservoir until “MAX” level.
3. Slightly press the point (B) of the reservoir
lid to close it.

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 first and
then the dishes in the upper basket.
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.
