10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
designed for dishwasher. Other
products can cause damage to the
appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard
water, we recommend to use basic
dishwasher detergent (powder, gel,
tablets containing no additional
agents), rinse aid and salt separately
for optimal cleaning and drying
results.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use tablets
with long programmes.
• Always use the correct quantity of
detergent. Insufficient dosage of
detergent can result in poor cleaning
results and hard-water filming or
spotting on the items. Using too much
detergent with soft or softened water
results in detergent residues on the
dishes. Adjust the amount of
detergent based on the water
hardness. Refer to the instructions on
the detergent packaging.
• Always use the correct quantity of
rinse aid. Insufficient dosage of rinse
aid decreases the drying results.
Using too much rinse aid results in
bluish layers on the items.
• Make sure that the water softener
level is correct. If the level is too high,
the increased quantity of salt in the
water might result in rust on cutlery.
10.3 What to do if you want to
stop using multi-tablets
Before you start using separately
detergent, salt and rinse aid, complete
the following steps:
1. Set the highest level of the water
softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid
containers are full.
3. Start the Quick programme. Do not
add detergent and do not put dishes
in the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed,
adjust the water softener according
to the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse
aid.
10.4 Before starting a
programme
Before you start the selected
programme, make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly
installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid
(unless you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the
baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type
of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
10.5 Loading the baskets
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• Use the appliance to wash
dishwasher-safe items only.
• Do not wash in the appliance items
made of wood, horn, aluminium,
pewter and copper as they could
crack, warp, get discoloured or pitted.
• Do not wash in the appliance items
that can absorb water (sponges,
household cloths).
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening facing
downwards.
• Make sure that glass items do not
touch each other.
• Put light items in the upper basket.
Make sure that the items do not move
freely.
• Put cutlery and small items in the
cutlery drawer.
• Move the upper basket upwards to
accommodate large items in the lower
basket.
• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a
programme.
