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.
14 Dishwasher / User’s Manual/42 EN
Preparation
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.
C
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.
Addng 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 only special softening salts
produced particularly for the
dishwashers in your machine.
C
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.
C
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 litre 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.
C
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.
Dishwasher / User’s Manual 15 / 42 EN
Preparation
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).
2. Put suggested amount of powder,
liquid/gel or tablet detergent in the
reservoir.
C
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 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.
C
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 program.
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, liquid/gel or tablet
detergents in the machine.
A
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.
Adding detergent
C
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.
A
Do not put solvents into the
detergent dispenser. There is
the risk of explosion!
16 Dishwasher / User’s Manual/42 EN
Preparation
C
The best washing performance
in dishwashers is obtained by
using detergent, rinse aid and
water softening salt individually.
C
Observe the instructions of the
detergent manufacturer on
the package when using tablet
detergents.
C
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.
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.
1
2
3
C
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.
Dishwasher / User’s Manual 17 / 42 EN
Preparation
Rnse ad
C
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.
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.
C
The rinse aid adjustment is

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.
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

of the steam inside for a while. Unload the dishes after the pieces cool down to a
touchable level. Start unloading process from the lower basket. Thus, dropping of water
remained on a piece at upper basket onto the pieces at lower basket is prevented.
• Selected programme is unsuitable. >>> Since rinsing temperature is low at programmes
with short duration, drying performance will also be low. Select programmes with longer
duration for a higher drying performance.
• Surface quality of the kitchen utensils is deteriorated. >>> Desired washing
performance can not be obtained on kitchen utensils with deteriorated surfaces and it
is not suitable to use such utensils in terms of hygiene as well. Also, water can not flow
easily on deteriorated surfaces. It is not recommended to wash such kitchen utensils in
dishwasher.
C
It is normal that drying complaints can be experienced with Teflon kitchen
utensils. It is associated with the structure of Teflon. Since the surface tensions
of Teflon and water are different, water droplets will remain as beads on the
Teflon surface.
Tea, cafe or lipstick stains remain on dishes.
• Selected programme is unsuitable. >>> Select a programme with a higher temperature
and cycle time.
• Surface quality of the kitchen utensils is deteriorated. >>> Tea and cafe stains or other

adding salt. Make sure that the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after finishing the filling
process. Run the prewash programme to remove the salt that spilled inside the machine.
Dishwasher / User’s Manual 39 / 42 EN
Troubleshooting
Since the salt granules that will remain under the lid will dissolve during prewash,
causing the lid loosen, check the lid once again at the end of the programme.
There is a different odour in the machine
C
A new machine has a peculiar odour. It will fade out after a couple of washes.
• Filters are clogged. >>> Check if the filter system is clean. Clean the filter system
regularly as illustrated in section “Cleaning and Care”.
• Dirty dishes are kept in dishwasher for 2-3 days. >>> If you are not going to start the
machine right after you have put the dishes into it, remove the remnants on the dishes
and run the Prewash programme without detergent every 2 days. In such cases, do not
close the door of the machine completely in order to avoid odour build up in machine.
You can also use commercially available odour removers or machine cleaners.
Rust, discoloration or surface deterioration occurs on dishes
• Salt leakage exists. >>> Salt may cause deterioration and oxidation on metal surfaces.
Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while adding salt. Make sure
that the salt reservoir lid is tightly closed after finishing the filling process. Run the
prewash programme to remove the salt that spilled inside the machine. Since the salt
granules that will remain under the lid will dissolve during prewash, causing the lid
loosen, check the lid once again at the end of the programme.
• Salty food remnants have remained on dishes for a long time. >>> If cutlery soiled
with such foods will be kept waiting in machine, dirt must be removed by prewash or
dishes must be washed without being kept waiting.
• Electric installation is not grounded. >>>Check if your machine is connected to the
actual grounding line. Otherwise, the static electric created in the product causes arcs
on the surfaces of metal items creating pores, removing the protective cover on the
surface and causing discoloration.
• Intensive cleansers such as bleaches are used. >>> Protective cover on metal surfaces
gets damaged and looses its efficiency in time when it gets in contact with cleansers
such as bleach. Do not wash your dishes with bleach.
• Metal items particularly such as knives are used for purposes other then their intended
uses. >>> Protective cover on the edges of knives may get damaged when they are
used for purposes such as opening cans. Do not use metal kitchen utensils out of their
intended uses.
• Cutlery are made of low quality stainless steel. >>> Corrosion on such items is
inevitable; they should not be washed in dishwashers.
• Kitchen utensils that are already corroded are washed in dishwasher. >>> Rust on a

Troubleshooting
Detergent remains in detergent dispenser.
• Detergent dispenser was damp when adding detergent. >>> Make sure that the
detergent dispenser is dried well prior to filling it with detergent.
• Detergent is added long before the washing process. >>> Pay attention to add
detergent shortly before start-up of the washing.
• Opening of the detergent dispenser lid is prevented during washing. >>> Place the
dishes in a way that will not prevent the detergent dispenser lid from opening and the
water going into the machine from impellers.
• Detergent is stored under unsuitable conditions. >>> If you are using powder
detergent, do not store the detergent package in humid places. Keep it in a closed
container if possible. For ease-of-storing, we recommend you to use tablet detergents.
• Impeller holes are clogged. >>> Lower and upper impeller holes might be clogged with
food remnants such as lemon pips. Clean the impellers regularly as illustrated in section
“Cleaning and Care”.
Decorations and ornaments on kitchen utensils are being erased.

items do not recommend washing such kitchen utensils in the dishwashers
either.
Dishes are scratched.

Kitchen utensils that contains or are made of aluminum should not be washed
in dishwasher.
• Salt leakage exists. >>> Pay attention not to spill salt around the salt filling hole while
adding salt. Spilled salt can cause scratches. Make sure that the salt reservoir lid is
tightly closed after finishing the filling process. Run the prewash programme to remove
the salt that spilled inside the machine. Since the salt granules that will remain under
the lid will dissolve during prewash, causing the lid loosen, check the lid once again at
the end of the programme.
• Water hardness setting is low or salt level is insufficient >>> Measure the hardness of
the supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting.
• Dishes are not placed orderly in the machine. >>> When placing the glasses and other
glassware into the basket lean them not against other dishes but the edges or racks of
the basket or the glass support tines. Striking of the glasses to each other or to other
dishes due to the impact of water during washing can cause breaks, or scratches on
their surfaces.

Troubleshooting
A smear remains on glasses that resembles milk stain which can not be
removed when wiped by hand. A bluish / rainbow appearance occurs when
the glass is pointed to light.
• Excessive rinse aid is used. >>>Lower rinse aid setting. Clean the spilled rinse aid when
adding rinse aid.
• Corrosion has occurred on glass due to soft water. >>> Measure the hardness of the
supply water appropriately and check the water hardness setting. If your supply water
is soft (<5 dH), do not use salt. Choose programmes that wash in higher temperatures
(e.g. 60-65°C). You can also use glass protective detergents that are commercially
available.
Foam forms in the machine.
• Dishes are washed with hand-wash detergent by hand but not rinsed before placing
them into the machine. >>> Hand-wash detergents do not contain antifoam. There is
no need to hand-wash the dishes before placing them into the machine. Removing the
coarse soil on the dishes under tap water, with a tissue paper or fork will be sufficient.
• Rinse aid has spilled into the machine when adding rinse aid. >>> Take care that rinse
aid is not spilled in the machine when you are filling it. Clean any spilled rinse ait with
the help of a tissue paper/towel.
