– Refill the salt container whenever
necessary.
– Use the recommended dosage of
the detergent and rinse aid.
– Make sure that the current level of
the water softener agrees with the
hardness of the water supply.
– Follow the instructions in the
chapter "Care and cleaning".
Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
designed for dishwasher. Other
products can cause damage to the
appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard water,
we recommend to use basic
dishwasher detergent (powder, gel,
tablets containing no additional
agents), rinse aid and salt separately
for optimal cleaning and drying results.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use tablets
with long programmes.
• Always use the correct quantity of
detergent. Insufficient dosage of
detergent can result in poor cleaning
results and hard-water filming or
spotting on the items. Using too much
detergent with soft or softened water
results in detergent residues on the
dishes. Adjust the amount of detergent
based on the water hardness. Refer to
the instructions on the detergent
packaging.
• Always use the correct quantity of rinse
aid. Insufficient dosage of rinse aid
decreases the drying results. Using too
much rinse aid results in bluish layers
on the items.
• Make sure that the water softener level
is correct. If the level is too high, the
increased quantity of salt in the water
might result in rust on cutlery.
What to do if you want to stop
using multi-tablets
Before you start using separately
detergent, salt and rinse aid, complete the
following steps:
1. Set the highest level of the water
softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid
containers are full.
3. Start the 30min programme. Do not
add detergent and do not put dishes in
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.
Before starting a programme
Before you start the selected programme,
make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly
installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid
(unless you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the
baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type
of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
Loading the baskets
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• Use the appliance to wash dishwasher-
safe items only.
• Do not wash in the appliance items
made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter
and copper as they could crack, warp,
get discoloured or pitted.
• Do not wash in the appliance items that
can absorb water (sponges, household
cloths).
