Using the dishwasher
Add detergent
Press to open
1. Prewash detergent compartment
2. Main wash detergent compartment
Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. This dishwasher
is fitted with a water softener, so use detergent and rinse aid doses
suitable for soft water.
Too much detergent can result in less effective dishwashing and also
entails greater environmental impact.
The detergent compartment must be dry when adding detergent. There
is one compartment for the prewash and one for the main wash. If
powder or liquid dishwasher detergent is used, add a small amount
of the detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact the detergent
manufacturer if you have questions about the detergent.
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 programmes
(less than 75 minutes). Use powder or liquid dishwasher detergent
instead.
All-in-one detergent
There are many types of all-in-one detergents on the market. Read
through the directions for these products carefully.
When using an all-in-one detergent that contains rinse aid, you can
activate the setting TAB. Note that the salt compartment must be filled
with salt.
NOTE!
Optimal washing and drying results are achieved by using normal
dishwasher detergent together with separately dispensed rinse aid
and salt.
