Using the dishwasher
Add detergent
1 Prewash detergent compartment
2 Main wash detergent compartment
Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and
also entails greater environmental impact.
Add the detergent to the detergent compartment. There is a
compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If
powder and liquid dishwasher detergents are used, add a small
amount of the detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact
the detergent manufacturer if you have any questions about the
detergent.
WARNING!
Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent is corro-
sive!
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must not
be used as the foam that forms prevents the dishwasher from
operating effectively.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser lid. There is
a risk that the detergent will not be released properly if the lid is
tight and will not open correctly.
NOTE!
Dishwasher tablets are not recommended for short programs

gent instead.
