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.

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 dishwasher
detergent together with separately
dispensed rinse aid and salt.

The main power switch

Press and hold the main power switch
until the display lights up. Also check that
the water tap is on.
