FILLING WITH SALT
Use softener salt specifi cally produced for use in dishwashers. To put softener salt,
fi rst remove the lower basket and then open the salt compartment cap by turning
it counter clockwise.1 2 At fi rst fi ll the compartment with 1kg salt and water 3 at
overfl owing level If available,using the funnel 4 provided will make fi lling easier; refi t
the cap and close it.When salt absent indicator is lighten on ( app. between 20th-
30th cycles depend on the water hardness ) add salt into your machine until it fi lls up
(approx. 1 kg) Fill the salt compartment with water at fi rst use only. We recommend
that you use small- grained or powder softener salt. Do not put table salt into your
machine. Otherwise, the function of the softener compartment may decrease over
time. When you start your dishwasher, the salt compartment gets fi lled with water.
Therefore, put the softener salt prior to starting your machine. This way, overfl owing
salt gets immediately cleaned up through the wash operation. If you are not going
to wash any dishes immediately after putting salt, then run a short washing program
with an empty machine in order to avoid any damage ( to prevent corrosion ) to your
machine due to the salt overfl ow while fi lling in the salt container.
PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR USE
After resetting your machine, press the program selection button and
keep it pressed down.3
Meanwhile, energise the machine by pressing the Power On/Off
button. 1
Keep the program selection button pressed until “8” disappears from
the display.3
Release the program selection button after “8” disappears from the
display. 3
Your machine displays the latest entered water hardness setting.
Water hardness can be adjusted by the programme selection button .3
according to Table of Water Hardness Level Settings.
After adjusting the water hardness level , press on/off button to save
settings in memory.1
DETERGENT USAGE
Use a detergent specifi cally designed for use in domestic dishwashers.
You can fi nd powder,gel,and tablet detergents in the market that have been
designed for household dishwashers.
Detergent should be put into the compartment prior to starting the machine. Keep
your detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of your children.
Do not fi ll detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise
it may cause scratches on your glasses as well as lead to a poorly dissolved detergent.
Should you need more information concerning the detergent you will use, contact
detergent manufacturers directly.
FILLING THE DETERGENT COMPARTMENT
Push the latch to open the detergent container as shown in
the image. 1 Detergent pod has level lines inside. It is possible
to measure the right detergent amount using these lines.
Detergent pod can take totally 40 cm
3
detergent. Open the
dishwasher detergent and pour into the larger compartment
b 25 cm
3
if your dishes are heavily soiled or 15 cm
3
if they are
less soiled.2
If your dishes have been kept dirty for a very long time, if
there are dried food wastes on them, and if you have overly
loaded the dishwasher, pour a 5 cm
3 detergent into the
prewash compartment and start your machine. 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.
COMBINED DETERGENT
Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents called “2 in 1”, “3 in 1”
or “5 in 1” etc.
“2 in 1” detergents contain det salt or rinse aid. When using “2 in 1” detergents
make sure to check the specifi cations of the tablet.
Other tablet detergents contain det rinse aid + salt + varlous extra functions.
Generally, combined detergents produce suffi cient 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 specifi cations of the product you will use
or whether or not it is a combined product.
• Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the hardness of mains water
that machine is appertaining to.
• Observe the instructions on packagings when using such products.
• If such detergents are in the form of tablets, never put them into the
interior section or the cutlery basket of the dishwasher. Always put the
tablets into the detergent compartment in the detergent dispenser.
• They produce good results for certain types of usage only. If you are using
this type of detergents, you need to contact the manufacturers and fi nd
out about the suitable conditions of use.

BEFORE CALLING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE
TESTING STRIP
The washing eff ectiveness 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 mains water supply. The washing eff ectiveness will increase when the system
is correctly set. To fi nd 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).
Open the
testing
strip.
Run water
through
your tap
for 1 min.
Keep the
testing
strip in
water for
1 sec.
Shake the
testing strip
after taking
it out of
water.
Wait for
1 min.
Make your machine’s water
hardness setting according to
the result obtained through the
testing strip.
