HINTS AND TIPS
GENERAL
Follow the hints below to ensure optimal cleaning
and drying results in daily use and to protect the
environment.
• Washing dishes in the dishwasher as instructed
in the user manual usually consumes less water
and energy than washing dishes by hand.
• Load the dishwasher to its full capacity to save
water and energy. For best cleaning results,
arrange items in the baskets as instructed in the
user manual and do not overload the baskets.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. It increases
the water and energy consumption. When
needed, select a programme with a prewash
phase.
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes
and empty cups and glasses before putting
them inside the appliance.
• Soak or slightly scour cookware with firmly
cooked-on or baked-on food before washing it
in the appliance.
• Make sure that items in the baskets do not
touch or cover each other. Only then can the
water completely reach and wash the dishes.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid
and salt separately or you can use the multi-
tablets (e.g. ''All in 1''). Follow the instructions
on the packaging.
• Select a programme according to the type of
load and the degree of soil. ECO offers the
most efficient use of water and energy
consumption.
• To prevent limescale buildup inside the
appliance:
– 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.
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.
