CAUTION: There may be escape of hot steam when you open the door of your machine. Be
careful of getting injured.
Setting the Water Softener (Model Depending)
•The 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 a 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.

10
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 the main 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 the steps in the image when use the test strip.
WARNING: If the water is well water or has a hardness level above 9 °f, werecommend that you
use filter and refinement devices.

NOTE: The salt refill indicator will be turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher for a
water hardness below 9 °f.

12
Detergent Usage
WARNING: Use a detergent specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers.
•You can find powder, gel, and tablet detergents on the market that have been designed for
household dishwashers.
•Detergent should be put into the compartment prior to starting the machine. Add the proper
detergent for the selected 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 and 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.
•Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after the completion of each wash program.
Filling The Detergent
NOTE: The dispenser should be refilled just before the start of each program.
1. Push the latch to open the detergent container as shown in
the image to the right (fig 1).
2. Pour/put the detergent into the dispenser (fig 2).
3. The dtergent container has level lines inside. It is possible to
measure the right detergent amount using these lines. The
container can hold 40 cm³ of detergent. Open the
dishwasher detergent and pour into the larger compartment,
25 cm³ if your dishes are heavily soiled or 15 cm³ if they are
less soiled. You may have to add more detergent into your machine, depending on the degree of
soil and on the water hardness level in your area.
4. Close the flap of the dispenser.
NOTE: The flap is always open at the end of a program.
WARNING: Follow instructions on the package of the detergent when using liquid dishwasher
detergent, concentrated powder detergent, or tablet detergent.

13
WARNING: Amounts may vary if you 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, or
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 detergent you will use or whether or not it is
a combined detergent.
•Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the hardness of the water the machine uses.
•Observe the instructions listed on the detergent packaging.
•If you are using tablet detergents, never put them into the interior section or the cutlery basket of
the dishwasher. Always put the tablets into the detergent compartment.
•When the conditions of use of such products and the machine settings are appropriate, 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 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 you encounter a problem which you have not encountered before, due to the use
of this type of detergent, 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 empty wash.
•Adjust the water hardness level.
•Make the suitable rinse aid setting.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should
be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results.

14
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
•Turn on the hot water faucet nearest to the dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water
from pipes.
•Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the stream of water to check the temperature.
•If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified technician to raise the hot water heater
thermostat setting.
Rinse-Aid Usage
Rinse-aid makes dishes sparkle and helps them to dry without spotting. Rinse-aid is required for
stain-free utensils and clear glasses.
•Use only rinse-aid for domestic dishwashers.
•Filling the rinse-aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse-aid
formulated for residentialdishwashers into the reservoir.
NOTE: When the Rinse-Aid indicator lights up, the rinse aid reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid
for 2-3 programs only. When using “Tab” detergents rinse-aid is
not needed.
