4 PREPARATION

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

Your 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

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.

Preparation

a bRemove the test strip from the packet.

1 min.Turn on the tap and let the water run for about a minute.

c↓1 SeconHold 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 determining hardness level of the supply water:

1. Turn on the machine by pressing On / Off key while pressing and holding the Programme Selection key when the machine is in off position. Release the Programme Selection key when the water hardness level stored on the machine is displayed in "r....." format.
2. By using Programme Selection key, adjust water hardness level according to the hardness of the supply water. See "Water hardness level adjustment table" for correct setting.
3. Press Start / Pause / Cancel key to save the setting. Start / Pause indicator will light continuously.
4. Press On / Off key to turn off the machine.

Water Hardness Level Adjustment Table

Perform the same hardness level adjustment that you have set on the control panel also with the regeneration adjustment 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

Preparation

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.

If 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.

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.

Use only special softening salts produced particularly for the dishwashers in your machine.

We recommend using granular or powder softening salts. Do not use salts that are insoluble in water such as table salt or common salt. Performance of water softening system may get worse in time.

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).

Salt reservoir will fill with water when you start the product. Therefore, add the softening salt before starting the machine.

Before initial use, fill the water softening system with 1 litre of water (C).

Preparation

Hand pouring liquid into a container on a car hood (no text or symbols visible)

1. 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.

Illustration of a hand pouring liquid into a funnel on a stove (no text or symbols visible)

You can put about 2 kg of softening salt into the salt reservoir.

1. Replace the lid and tighten it securely when the reservoir is full.
2. 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.

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 and tablet detergents in the machine.

Only use in the detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers. Never use washing up liquids. We recommend you not to use detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate as they are harmful for the environment.

Adding detergent

You can find the correct amount of detergent for the selected programme in the table of "Programme data and average consumption values".

In order to have good washing and drying results, always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. If you have further questions, we recommend to contact with the producer of the detergent.

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. Press the latch in the direction of arrow to open the detergent dispenser lid (A).

1. Put suggested amount of powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergent in the dispenser.

25cm³ 15cm³

Inside the detergent dispenser there are level markings that help you use appropriate amount of powder detergent. When brimful, detergent dispenser will contain 40 cm ^3 of detergent. Fill detergent up to 15 cm ^3 or 25 cm ^3 level marks in the detergent dispenser according to fullness of the machine and/or soiling degree of the dishes.

1. Close the detergent dispenser lid by pressing on it lightly. A "click" will be heard when the lid is closed.

In programmes with pre-washing and high temperature, in which you may use tablet detergents, make sure that the detergent dispenser lid is closed firmly.

Hand placing a component into a device casing (no text or symbols visible)

Use powder detergent in short programmes without prewash since the solubility of the tablet detergent changes depending on the temperature and time.

Excessive usage of powder detergents will cause the detergent not dissolve completely and will also cause scratches on the glassware.

Combined tablet detergents

Combined tablet 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.

The best washing performance in dishwashers is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt individually.

Combined tablet detergents are available as 3in1, 5in1, Allin1 etc. They function only up to a specific degree of water hardness.

Above this limit regeneration salt and rinse aid must be added. Refer to the instructions on the packaging of the combined detergent whether it is suitable for the hardness level of the water supply.

While using combined tablet detergents, contact with the detergent producers if your dishes are wet and/or if you notice limescale spots particularly on your glasses after the washing programme is over.

When you switch to powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergent from a combined 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.

Depending on the model, salt indicator and/or rinse aid indicator should be enabled again if they are disabled before.

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.

Please check the rinse aid indicator on the display to see whether there is adequate amount of rinse aid in the dishwasher or not. You need to refill the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid whenever rinse aid warning indicator appears on the display of your machine.

1. Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir by pulling the latch in the direction of the arrow (B).

Illustration of a hand inserting a device into a smartphone (no text or symbols visible)

1. Fill the reservoir until "MAX" level.
2. Turn the rinse aid amount adjuster manually to a position between 1 and 6 (C). 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.

C 123456

1. Close the lid of the reservoir by pressing on it lightly.

After making sure that the lid is closed, 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 iron alloy items in the dishwasher. It can get corroded or leave stains on other items.
• 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 aluminum 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

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.

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 in the dish basket.

Unload dishes in the lower basket first and then the dishes in the upper basket.
