water specifications match the values
indicated in the installation instructions for
the machine.
• Open the door of the dishwasher.
• Remove all packaging material inside
the machine.
• Set the water softener level. (See
chapter of setting the water softener)
( model depending).
• Set the rinse aid dosage (See chapter of
filling the rinse-aid and setting).
• Fill the salt container (see chapter of
filling the dishwasher salt dispenser)
(model depending).
• Fill the rinse aid compartment. (See
chapter of filling the rinse aid and setting).
• Place the dishes in accordance with the
instructions in the user manual.
• Put adequate amount of detergent into

• Close the door of the dishwasher. (Push
the baskets in. Then lift the door upwards
and push until it clicks into position).
CAUTION: To prevent injuries, ensure
that your hand is not jammed or crushed
between the door and appliance
WARNING: While the appliance is
running if you open the door all functions
are automatically interrupted
CAUTION: There may be a escape of
hot steam when you open the door of
your machine. Be careful of getting
injured.
Setting the Water Softener
( Model Depending )
Dishwasher needs soft water for good
cleaning results. Hard water results in a
build-up of calcium deposits on
dishware and in the dishwasher. Your
dishwasher has a special water
softening system to remove the
hardness of the tap water. Setting this
system correctly will increase the
washing effectiveness.
Water supplies with a hardness level
higher than 9 °f (French Water
Hardness) needs to be softened.
If the hardness level of the water that
you use is above 9 °f (French standard
for water hardness) or if you are using
well water, than it is recommended to
use filter and water purification devices.
The dishwasher is programmed at the
factory setting level 1 (inactive) of water
hardness If this setting corresponds to
the hardness of your water, you do not
need to do anything more.
The dishwasher must be programmed
for the water hardness in your area.
To find 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.
WARNING: If you move to a
different location, the level of water
hardness will possibly be different. It is
essential to setting again the water
hardness in order to obtain optimum
washing efficiency.

13
Test Strip ( For Models With Water Softener )
The washing effectiveness of your machine depends on the softness of the tap water. For
this reason, your machine is equipped with a system that reduces the hardness in mains
water supply. The washing effectiveness will increase when the system is correctly set. To
find out the water hardness level of water in your area, contact your local water board or
determine water hardness level by using the test strip(if available). Follow step in the
image when use the test strip.
Run water
through the
tap (1min.)
Keep the
strip in the
water (1sec)
Shake the
strip. Wait (1min.) Set the hardness level of your machine.

program to ensure the best performance.
Use less detergent if the dishes are only
lightly soiled. Using excess detergent can
leave a film on dishes and in the dishwasher
resulting in poor wash performance. Do not
use detergent tablets for shorter wash
cycles. The tablet may not dissolve
completely, causing detergent residue on
dishes and inefficient
cleaning.
NOTE: The amount of detergent needed
depends on the cycle, load size, and soil
level of dishes. Too much detergent in soft
water may cause glass corrosion and does
not dissolve in water.
WARNING: Do not use too much
detergent if your water supply is soft.
WARNING: Keep your detergents in
cool, dry places out of reach of children. See
the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for
further information.
WARNING: Detergent tablets do not fully
dissolve with short programmes.
To prevent detergent residues on the
tableware, we recommend that you use the
tablets with long programmes.
WARNING: Do not use detergent in
Rinse cycle (model depending).
If you do not know the hardness of your
water supply, use 15 ml / 3 tsp detergent.
Increase the amount of detergent if you see
white water marks especially on the surface
of the glassware.
Should you need more information
concerning the detergent you will use,
contact detergent manufacturers directly.

use liquid or concentrated powder
detergent. Tablet detergents should be
placed in detergent container.
WARNING: Deviations are possible
depending on how dirty the dishes are
and how hard the water is in your
location.
WARNING: Use only the proper
amount of detergent. Continued use of
too much detergent may cause machine
damage.
Using Combined Detergents
Detergent manufacturers also
manufacture combined detergents that
are called 2 in
1 – 3 in 1-5 in 1...
The 2 in1 detergents contain detergent+
salt or rinse aid . While using the 2 in 1
detergents, it should be observed which
functions the tablet consists of.
The other tablet detergents also have
detergent+rinse aid +salt+various extra
functions.
Generally, combined detergents produce
sufficient results under certain usage
conditions only. Such detergents contain
rinse aid and/or salt in preset amounts.
Points to consider when using this
type of products:
• Always make sure to check the
specifications of the product you will use
or whether or not it is a combined
product.
• Check if the detergent used is
appropriate for the hardness of mains
water thatma-chine is appertaining to.
• Observe the instructions on packagings
when using such products.
• If such detergents are in the form of
tablets, never put them into the interior
section or the cutlery basket of the
dishwasher. Always put the tablets into
the detergent compartment in the
detergent dispenser.
• They produce good results for certain
types of usage only. If you are using
this type of detergents, you need to
contact the manufacturers and find out
about the suitable conditions of use.
• When the conditions of use of such
products and the machine settings are
appro-priate, they ensure savings in
salt and/or rinse aid consumption.
• Contact the detergent manufacturers
if you are not obtaining good wash
results (if your dishes stay calcareous
and wet) after having used 2 in 1 or 3
in 1 detergents. The scope of warranty
for your machine does not cover any
complaints caused by the use of these
types of detergents.
Recommended usage: If you want to
obtain better results while using
combined detergents, add salt and
rinse aid into your machine and adjust
the water hardness setting and the
rinse aid setting to the lowest position.
CAUTION: Solubility of the tablet
detergents produced by different
companies can vary depending on the
temperature and time. Therefore, it is
not recommended to use such
detergents in short programs. It is
more suitable to use powder
detergents in such programs.
Warning: Should any problem,
which you have not encountered
before, arise with the use of this type of
detergents, contact the detergent
manufacturers directly.
When you give up using combined
detergents
• Fill the salt and rinse aid
compartments.
• Adjust the water hardness setting to
the highest position and run an
emptywash.
• Adjust the water hardness level.
• Make the suitable rinse aid setting.
