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.
The water softener
The water softener removes minerals from the water
supply, which would have a detrimental effect on the
washing results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the harder
your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent
scales.
The water softener should be adjusted according to the
hardness of the water in your area. Your local water
authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in
your area. It is important to set the right level of the
water softener to assure good washing results.
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 Multitab
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.
• Make soft the remaining burned food on the items.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the
opening down.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch other glasses.
• Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that
the items do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely
before you start a programme.
Before starting a 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 dishwasher salt and rinse aid (unless you
use multi- tablets).
• The position of the items in the baskets is correct.
• The programme is applicable for the type of load
and for the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.
Unloading the baskets
1.
Let the tableware cool down before you remove it
from the appliance. Hot items can be easily
damaged.
2.
First remove items from the lower basket, then from
the upper basket.
At the end of the programme water can
still remain on the sides and on the door
of the appliance.
