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.

Addng salt

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.

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.

Only use in the machine the detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers. We recommend you not use detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate as they are harmful for the environment.

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.

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.

Adding detergent

Pay attention to the warnings

Dishwasher / User’s Manual

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!

3. Push the lid of the detergent dispenser to close it. A "click" will be heard when the lid is closed.

15 / 41

Preparation

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

Thanks to this mechanism, you can use your basket in three different positions, namely lower, middle and upper positions (1, 2, 3).

1. To raise your basket, hold the upper basket wires with both hands while the basket is in the lowermost position and pull them up (A).

2. You will hear a "Click" from the right and left mechanisms, indicating that the basket has reached the next level. Release the basket.

Repeat the process if the height is not sufficient.

To lower the basket, while it is in the uppermost position;

1. Hold the upper basket wires with both hands, slightly lift up the basket and simultaneously push and release the latches shown in the figure (B).

2. Lower the basket from its current position to the lower one.

3. Release the basket after it has reached one level down.

Repeat the process if the height is not sufficient.

The movement mechanism

may not function properly if the upper basket is overloaded or if the weight distribution is not balanced. In heavier conditions, there is the risk of falling one level down.

Make sure that the adjustment mechanism has the same positions on the right and left sides of the upper basket.
