Preparation
Read “Safety Instructions” section first!
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.
Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items
leads to increased water and energy
consumption and is not recommended.
Washing tableware in a household
dishwasher usually consumes less energy
and water in the use phase than hand
dishwashing when the household dishwasher
is used according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Operate the product after filling it completely.
When selecting a programme, consider
the table of "Programme data and average
consumption values" given on Quick Guide.
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.
The 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.
5-
Read “Quick Guide - Adjusting Water
Softening System” before this section!
The regeneration of the water softening
system can be done in all programmes
during drying step. When regeneration
occurs, duration, energy and water
consumption of the programme increase.
For regeneration process; frequency of
regeneration cycle, maximum additional
duration, water and energy consumption
are given in table below depending on
Eco 50°C programme water consumption,
when the dishwasher is run under standard
conditions with 14 dH water supply on its
Eco 50°C programme:

look at the Programme data and average
consumption values table given on Quick
Guide.
17/EN
You can put about 2 kg of softening
salt into the salt reservoir.
5. Replace the lid and tighten it when the
reservoir is full.
You 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 programme.
Since 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.
Only use detergents produced
particularly for use with dishwashers.
Note that detergents that contain
chlorine and phosphate can be harmful
for the environment. Liquid detergents
without chlorine may not remove tea
and coffee stains from cups.
Adding salt
Water softening system needs to be
regenerated in order for the product
to operate with the same performance
continuously. Dishwasher salt is used for
this purpose.
Use only special softening salts
produced particularly for the
dishwashers in your machine.
It 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.
Salt 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 liter 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.
18/EN
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.
3. Push the lid of the detergent dispenser
to close it. A "click" will be heard when
the lid is closed.

Adding detergent
Pay attention to the warnings on the
detergent packaging to get better
washing and drying results. Contact
the manufacturer of the detergent for
further questions.
Do 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). (depends
on model)
2. Put suggested amount of powder,
liquid/gel or tablet detergent in the
reservoir.
Inside 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
19/EN
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
The 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.
Use 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). Water softening
salt and rinse aid must also be used
together with the detergent if the water
hardness level is above the mentioned
level.
The best washing performance in
dishwashers is obtained by using
detergent, rinse aid and water
softening salt individually.
Observe the instructions of the
detergent manufacturer on the package
when using tablet detergents.
Contact 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.

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.
The rinse aid adjustment is described
under "Adjusting the amount of rinse
aid" in the section for operating the
machine.
Wipe 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.
Decorative prints of chinaware as well
as aluminium 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
Depending on the capacity of your
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.
To 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 lay them horizontally
in the dish basket.
Unload dishes in the lower basket first and
then the dishes in the upper basket.
