Hints and tips
General
The following hints will ensure optimal cleaning
and drying results in daily use and also help to
protect the environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes
into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When
needed, use the prewash programme (if
available) or select a programme with a
prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• When loading the appliance, make sure that the
dishes can be completely reached and washed
by the water released from the spray arm
nozzles. Make sure that items do not touch or
cover each other.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid
and salt separately or you can use the multi-
tablets (e.g. ''3in1'', ''4in1'', ''All in 1''). Follow
the instructions written on the packaging.
• Select the programme according to the type of
load and degree of soil. With the ECO
programme you have the most efficient use of
water and energy consumption for crockery
and cutlery with normal soil.
Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for
dishwasher. Other products can cause damage
to the appliance.
• Multi-tablets are usually suitable in areas with a
water hardness up to 21 °dH. In areas
exceeding this limit, rinse aid and salt must be
used in addition to the multi-tablets. However,
in areas with hard and very hard water we
recommend to use solo-detergent (powder,
gel, tablets without additional functions), rinse
aid and salt separately for optimal cleaning and
drying results.
• If you use multi-tablets you can select the Multi
tab option (if available). This option increases
the cleaning and drying results with the use of
multi-tablets.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with
short programmes. To prevent detergent
residues on the tableware, we recommend that
you use the tablets with long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct quantity of
detergent. Refer to the instructions on the
detergent packaging.
What to do if you want to stop
using multi-tablets
Before you start to use separately detergent,
salt and rinse aid do the following procedure.
1. Set the highest level of the water softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid containers
are full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a rinsing
phase. Do not add detergent and do not load
the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed, adjust the
water softener according to the water
hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.
Loading the baskets
• Only use the appliance to wash items that are
dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items made of
wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that can
absorb water (sponges, household cloths).
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes
into the waste bin.
