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, 
refer to the "Programme Table".
•	Do not put more detergent than 
suggested on the detergent 
package.
Water softening system
C The dishwasher requires soft 
water. If the hardness of the water 
is above 6°dH, the water must be 
softened and descaled. Otherwise, 
ions that create the hardness will 
accumulate on the surfaces of the 
dishes and may adversely affect 
the washing, shining and drying 
performances of the product.
The product is equipped with a water 
softening system which reduces the 
hardness of incoming water. This 
system softens the supply water that 
enters into the product to a level that 
will allow washing the dishes with the 
required quality.
Adjusting the water softening 
system
Washing performance will increase 
when water softening system is 
adjusted properly.
Use the test stripe supplied with the 
product to determine the supply water 
hardness in order to adjust the system. 
EN

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.
C Use in your product only the 
special softening salts produced 
particularly for use in dishwashers. 
C We recommend using granular 
or powder softening salts. Do not 
use salts containing insoluble 
substances such as table salt 
or common salt in the machine. 
Performance of water softening 
system may deteriorate in time. 
C Salt reservoir will fill with water 
when you start the product. 
Therefore, add the softening salt 
before starting the machine.
1.  First take the lower basket out to 
add softening salt.
2. Turn the salt reservoir lid in counter 
clockwise to open it (A, B). 
C Before initial use, fill the water 
softening system with 1 litre of 
water (C).
3.  Fill the salt reservoir with salt by 
using salt funnel (D). To speed up 
dissolution rate of salt in water, stir 
it with a spoon.
C You can put about 2 kg of softening 
salt into the salt reservoir.
4.  Replace the lid and tighten it 
securely when the reservoir is full.

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).
5. If you will not start a washing 
programme immediately after 
adding the salt, run the machine 
empty in the shortest programme 
to dissolve and wash away the 
scattered salt in the machine.
C 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 or tablet detergent 
in the machine.
C Only 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. 
C Contact the detergent producer if 
the dishes are wet and/or if you 
notice limescale spots particularly 
on glasses after the washing 
programme is over.
Adding detergent
C Refer to the “Programme Table” 
to determine the correct amount 
of detergent for the selected 
programme.
B Do not put solvents into the 
detergent dispenser. There is the 
risk of explosion!
2.  Put suggested amount of powder 
or tablet detergent in the dispenser. 
C Inside the detergent dispenser, 
there are level markings that help 
you use appropriate amount of 
detergent. When brimful, detergent 
dispenser will contain 40 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 (1).

rinse aid and water softening salt 
individually. 
C Information about suitable places 
(detergent dispenser, basket etc.) 
in the dishwasher to place the 
tablet can be found amongst the 
usage instructions on the packages 
of the tablet detergents.
Tablet detergent types commonly found 
in the market:
2in1: Contains detergent, rinse aid or 
water softening salt
3in1: Contains detergent, rinse aid and 
water softening salt
4in1: Contains glass protectors in 
addition to detergent, rinse aid and 
water softening salt
5in1: Contains glass and stainless 
steel protectors in addition to 
detergent, rinse aid and water 
softening salt
C Observe the instructions of 
the detergent manufacturer on 
the package when using tablet 
detergents. 
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.
C Depending on the model, salt 
indicator and/or rinse aid indicator 
must be enabled again if they were 
disabled before.
3.  Close the detergent dispenser lid 
by pressing on it lightly. A "click" 
will be heard when the lid is closed.
C In programmes with prewash and 
at high temperature, in which you 
use tablet detergents, make sure 
that the detergent dispenser lid is 
closed firmly.
C Use powder detergent in short 
programmes without prewash 
since the solubility of the tablet 
detergent changes depending on 
the temperature and time.
A Excessive usage of powder 
detergents will cause the detergent 
not dissolve completely and will 
also cause scratches on the 
glassware.
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.

 


C 
Tablet detergents give satisfying 
results only under certain usage 
conditions. The best washing 
performance in dishwashers is 
obtained by using detergent,

Rinse aid
C The rinse aid used in dishwashers 
is a special combination used to 
increase drying efficiency and 
prevent water or limescale 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.
Check Rinse Aid Indicator to determine 
whether it is necessary to add rinse 
aid or not 3 (depends on the model). 
Having a dark light on the indicator 
shows that there is sufficient amount of 
rinse aid in the dispenser. If the colour 
of the indicator is light, add rinse aid.
1.  Open the lid of the rinse aid 
reservoir by pressing its latch (B).
4. Turn the rinse aid amount 
adjuster manually to a position 
between 1 and 6 (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 4 
as factory default.

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.
•	There are two separate baskets in 
which you can place your dishes in 
the dishwasher. 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.
A 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 
they will lie horizontally on the dish 
baskets.
•	Unload dishes in the lower basket 
first and then the dishes in the 
upper basket.
