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.
3-in-1/All-in-one detergent
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.
Read through the directions for these products carefully. If
anything is unclear, contact the detergent manufacturer.
The main power switch
Press and hold the main power switch until the display turns
on. Also check that the water tap is on.
PROGRAMS - Choose programme
Choose a programme to suit the type of dishes and how
dirty they are.
Press the Programme selector one or more times until the
desired programme symbol is activated.
Daily wash
An effective programme for daily use for slightly dried
leftovers. (This programme is not intended for burnt food,
such as on oven dishes.)
Intensive wash
Programme for very dirty dishes, such as pans, casserole
dishes and oven dishes. Also ideal for situations where
demands on hygiene are especially high, such as when
dishwashing baby bottles and cutting boards. If these dishes
do not completely fill the dishwasher, you can add plates
and the like.
Eco wash
This programme is intended for cleaning normally dirty
dishes and is the most effective programme in terms of
combined energy and water consumption.
Quick wash
This programme is used for glasses and porcelain that is
slightly dirty, such as coffee cups.
In combination with SpeedWash, a shorter programme is
achieved (15 minutes).
Rinse
Used to rinse dishes while you wait for the dishwasher to
become fully loaded.
EXTRA - Selecting Options
To select an option, press one of the option buttons until
the option is activated. The available options vary between
programmes and some options cannot be combined
(available options glow dimly).
SpeedWash
This option shortens the programme time, but uses more
energy and water.
