• 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 30 min 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).
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with
the opening facing downwards.
• Make sure that glass items do not touch each
other.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure
that the items do not move freely.
• Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery basket.
• Move the upper basket upwards to
accommodate large items in the lower basket.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely
before you start a programme.
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.
After the programme is completed,
water can still remain on the inside
surfaces of the appliance.
