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 programs (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.
Chapter Settings describes how to activate TAB (3-in-1/ All-in-one detergent). Note that salt must
be put in the salt compartment. If you are not satisfied with the dishwashing or drying results,
deactivate the setting TAB (3-in-1/ All-in-one detergent) and top up with salt, detergent and rinse
aid. See Chapter Before washing for the first time.
NOTE!
Optimal washing and drying results are achieved by using normal detergent together with
separately dispensed rinse aid and salt.
