PREPARATION

Tips for energy saving

Following information will help you use the
product in an ecological and energy-efficient
manner.
Wipe away any coarse food remnants
on the dishes before putting them in the
product. Operate the product after filling it
completely. When selecting a programme,
consider the table of "Programme data and
average consumption values".
Do not put more detergent than suggested
on the detergent package.

Water softening system

C
Your dishwasher requires soft
water. If the hardness of the
water is above 6°dH, the water
must be softened and descaled.
Otherwise, ions that create the
hardness will accumulate on the
surfaces of the dishes and may
adversely affect the washing,
shining and drying performances
of the product.
The product is equipped with a water
softening system which reduces the hardness
of incoming water. This system softens the
supply water that enters into the product to a
level that will allow washing the dishes with
the required quality.
Adjusting the water softening
system
Washing performance 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.

Adding salt

Water softening system needs to be
regenerated in order that the product
DISHWASHER / USER INSTRUCTIONS
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
We recommend using granular
or powder softening salts. Do
not use salts that are insoluble
in water such as table salt or
common salt. Performance of
water softening system may get
worse in time.
C
Salt reservoir will fill with water
when you start the product.
Therefore, add the softening salt
before starting the machine.

softening salt.
