water softener uses the correct quantity of dishwasher
salt and water.
Using salt, rinse aid and detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for dishwash-
er. Other products can cause damage to the appli-
ance.
• The rinse aid helps, during the last rinsing phase, to
dry the dishes without streaks and stains.
• Combi detergent tablets contain detergent, rinse aid
and other added agents. Be sure that these tablets
are applicable to the water hardness in your area.
Refer to the instructions on the packaging of the
products.
• 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 de-
tergent. Refer to the instructions on the deter-
gent packaging.
Loading the baskets
Refer to the supplied leaflet with examples of the
load of the baskets.
• Only use the appliance to wash items that are dish-
washer-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 remaining food from the items.
• To remove easily remaining burned food, soak pots
and pans in water before you put them in the appli-
ance.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the
opening down.
• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not bond to-
gether. Mix spoons with other cutlery.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch other glasses.
• Put the small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put the light items in the upper basket. Make sure
that they do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely be-
fore you start a programme.
Before starting a programme
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• 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.
• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid (unless you
use combi detergent tablets).
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
Care and cleaning
Warning!
Before maintenance, deactivate the
appliance and disconnect the mains plug from
the mains socket.
Dirty filters and clogged spray arms decrease the
washing results.
Make a check regularly and, if necessary, clean them.
