Before washing for the first time
Checking water hardness
Contact the local water utility to check the water hardness
in your area. This is important with regard to how much de-
tergent and rinse aid to use.
Top up with rinse aid
By using rinse aid you will improve your drying result. You
will also achieve a better dishwashing result with glassware
and dishes.
1
Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2
Carefully top up with rinse aid. Only add rinse aid to the
level marked
max .
3
Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compart-
ment.
4
Close the lid firmly.
Refill rinse aid indicator
When the rinse aid needs topping up, the above symbol
lights on the display.
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes
out.
Setting the rinse aid dosage
The chapter Settings describes how to set the rinse aid
dosage. Rinse aid dispensing can be set from 0 (Off) to 5
(High dose). (Factory settings: 5)
Decrease the rinse aid dosage:
•
If the dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
•
If the dishes are streaked.
•
Build-up of foam. If you have very soft water, the rinse
aid can be diluted 50:50 with water.
For water with a hardness greater than 10–12 °dH, you
ought to use rinse aid with citric acid (known as acid rinse
aid).
Loading the dishwasher
Economic dishwashing
•
Do not start the dishwasher until it is fully loaded in order
to save energy.
• Do not rinse dishes first under running water. Simply
scrape off large food particles before loading them in
the dishwasher.
•
Choose an environment-friendly detergent. Read the
environmental declaration on the packaging!
•
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a
program with a low temperature.
•
Better drying results are achieved if you use the Auto
open option, which automatically opens the dishwasher
door once the program has ended. (If the dishwasher
is built-in, the surrounding furnishings must be resistant
to condensation.)
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for
several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand strong
heat, others can be damaged by dishwashing detergent.
Please check your cookware is marked dishwasher safe.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with an upper basket and a
lower basket with a cutlery basket.
Upper basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the
upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and
downwards! Place wine glasses on the wine glass shelf and
knives in the knife stand on the right (if fitted).
