USA

Page 31

Use powder or liquid/gel detergent

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

7.2 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 (59 gpg). Water softening salt and rinse aid must also be used together with the detergent if the water hardness level is above the mentioned level.

The best washing performance in

dishwashers is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid and water softening salt individually.

When you swtch to powder detergent from tablet detergent:

1. Make sure that salt (Select Models) 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.

7.3 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.

1. Open the lid of the rinse aid reservoir with the help of the latch.

Observe the instructions of the

detergent manufacturer on the package when using tablet detergents.

Contact the detergent manufacturer

if your dishes are wet and/or if you notice limescale spots particularly on your glasses after the washing program is over when using a tablet detergent.

2. Fill the reservoir until “MAX” level.

If the hardness level of the supply water is below 22 gpg, 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.

USA

Page 34

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.

9. FILLING THE

DISHWASHER SALT DISPENSER

(Select Models) 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.

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.

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 counterclockwise to open it (A, B).

3. Add 4 cups of water to salt reservoir of your machine only in initial use (C).

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.

USA

Page 35

You can put about 4.4 Pounds of

softening salt into the salt reservoir.

5. Replace the lid and tighten it when the reservoir is full.

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.

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.
