Do not use detergent that has been wet and is

clumped. Also, check the expiration date on the

container.

The amount of detergent needed can vary due

to differences in water hardness. To determine

the water hardness in your area, contact your

local water utility or area water softening com-

pany. The harder the water, the more detergent

you may need. Refer to the chart below for the

recommended detergent amounts based on wa-

ter hardness. Remember, you should adjust the

amount of detergent you use by small amounts

until you find the correct amount.

Twelve grains and higher is extremely hard wa-

ter and detergent alone may not be enough. You

may need to use a water softener to maximize

the performance of your dishwasher. Also, in ar-

eas with hard water (9+) you may need to wash

at lower temperatures to prevent hard water

deposits from forming in tank and wash system.

In hard water areas, both the dishes and the

machine can develop a white or gray film after

a while. This can be removed by replacing the

prewash detergent with two tablespoons of citric

acid. If the water is very hard, use a rinse aid

that contains citric acid.

Different brands of dishwasher detergent have

different amounts of phosphorous for softening

water. If you have hard water and use a deter-

gent with less than 8.7% phosphorous content,

you may need to use more detergent or use a

detergent with more than 8.7% phosphorous

content.

NOTE:

We recommend that you do not add prewash

detergent for the Quick wash programs.

Cutlery basket - placed in the lower basket (ex-

empel).

Stand the cutlery in the cutlery basket with

handles downward and as spread out as pos-

sible. Ensure that spoons are not resting inside

each other.

Do not put cutlery made of different materials

- such as silver and stainless steel - in the same

compartment (risk of stains).

Place long cutlery and carving knives in the spe-

cial knife box (if present) or in the upper basket.

Note!

Check that the spray arms are able to move

freely.

See the section entitled Fragile Dishes if you

want to wash objects that may be fragile.

Dishwashing detergent

We recommend that you use

only unscented, granular automatic dishwash-

ing detergent. Using the wrong detergent could

cause flooding and/or damage your dishwasher.
