Water softenng system

The product is equipped with a water
softening system which reduces the
hardness of incoming water. This system
softens the supply water to a level that will
allow washing the dishes with the required
quality.

The mains water hardness must

be softened if it is over 7°dH.
Otherwise, hardness ions will
accumulate on the dishes that
are washed and may affect the
washing, rinsing and drying
performances of the machine.

Adjustng the water
softenng 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.

12 Dishwasher / User’s Manual/40 EN

Preparation

Remove the test
strip from the
packet.

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

Hold 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. After turning on your machine, press and hold the Time Delay and Start / Pause / Cancel keys
respectively.

2. Using the Time Delay key, turn on 9 and 3 LEDs.

3. Use the function keys to adjust the water hardness level.

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.

Placng the dshes nto the
dshwasher

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.

To prevent possible injuries,

always place the sharp and
pointed dishes such as service

The upper basket height adjustment
mechanism has been designed for you to
create large spaces in the lower or upper
sections of your machine depending on
your needs by adjusting the height in the
upper or lower direction while your basket
is empty or loaded.

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

• 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.

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.
