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.
Dishwasher salt is used for this purpose.
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 product
according to the steps given below to
determine hardness level of your supply
water.

/ 13 / 46 EN
Preparation
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.
Remove the test
strip from the water
and shake it.
Wait for 1 minute. The test strip shows
you the hardness
level.
After the determination of the water hardness:
1. When the door is closed, after turning on your machine with the On/Off button, enter the Sub-Menu
by pressing the On-Off and P2 program buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
2. Move to "r" position on the display by pressing the P2 button.
3. Set it to the appropriate level by selecting one of the “r: 1”, “r: 2”, “r: 3”, “r: 4” or “r: 5” positions with
the P3 program button.
4. Exit the settings menu by pressing the On/Off button for 3 seconds. Your settings will be saved
automatically.
After determining hardness level of the supply water:
In order to protect your glassware against glass corrosion in an optimal way, you have to perform the
same hardness settings, which you have made in the control panel, with the regeneration setting switch.
For example, if you have adjusted to “3rd level” in the control panel, also set the regeneration adjustment
switch to 3rd level.
Regeneration Adjustment Switch
0th Level 1st Level 2nd Level 3rd Level 4th Level 5th Level
1 1 2 3 4 5
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.

14 / /46 EN
Preparation
3. Add 1 litre of water to salt reservoir of
your machine only in initial use.
4. Add salt to the salt compartment. 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.
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.
CAdjust the water softness level
according to the "Water hardness
level instruction" supplied with
your machine.
Adding salt
CUse only special softening salts
produced particularly for the
dishwashers in your machine.
1. First take the lower basket out to add
softening salt.
2. Turn the salt reservoir lid counter-
clockwise to open it (A).

/ 15 / 46 EN

CDo not fill the liquid/gel
detergent box with liquids or
chemical cleaners (vinegar,
bleacher etc.) other than liquid/
gel detergent.
CLiquid/gel detergents that lost
their fluidity and became firm
must not be used in automatic
liquid/gel detergent dosing
system.
Liquid/gel detergents must be used in a
short time once they have been unpacked.
Unpacked liquid/gel detergents may lose

CWhen the detergent warning
lamp gives a warning, it will go
away in a short while after you
add liquid/gel detergent. If the
warning light is still on after a
washing cycle, you can remove
the detergent cartridge, shake it a
few times and reinstall it.
This may occur because of the
blockage of the warning gauge
due to the detergent residues
remained in the cartridges after a
long term use.
To avoid this, it is recommended
to clean the detergent cartridge
thoroughly once in two or three
months.
You can soak it in lukewarm
water, and you can can wash
with tap water.
This way, dosing problems
caused by accumulated
detergent residues, as well
as blockage of the warning
mechanism is prevented and it
is ensured that the system works
properly.

the temperature and time.
TIPS ON LIQUID/GEL DETERGENT
USAGE
After the program finished, if cups and
saucers have stains inside or the color of them
is changed, this may be due to the one of the
following reasons, or even a combination of
more ;
- Colored stains(eg: tea, coffee.) are left in
the cup or saucer for a considerable time
- Using a short or low temperature wash
cycle
- Stale or damp detergent
- Poor quality detergent
- Hard water area without the use of Rinse
Aid

Tablet detergents
Table detergents exhibit water softening and
/ or rinse aid effect in addition to detergent
effect. Some types of these detergents also
contain special-purpose washing chemicals
such as glass and stainless steel protectors.

results only under certain usage
conditions. The best washing
performance in dishwashers is
obtained by using detergent,
rinse aid and water softening salt
individually.
