• The rinse aid helps, during the last
rinsing phase, to dry the dishes with-
out streaks and stains.
• Combi detergent tablets contain de-
tergent, 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.
If you want to use these tablets out of
the applicable water hardness, you
must also use dishwasher salt. First ac-
tivate the multitab option, then adjust
the water softener to the water hard-
ness in your area and use dishwasher
salt.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use the tab-
lets with long programmes.
Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to
the instructions on the detergent
packaging.
8.3 Loading the baskets
Refer to the supplied leaflet with
examples of the load of the bas-
kets.
• Only use the appliance to wash items
that are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items
made of wood, horn, aluminium, pew-
ter and copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that
can absorb water (sponges, household
cloths).
9. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Before maintenance, deactivate
the appliance and disconnect the
mains plug from the mains sock-
et.
• Remove remaining food from the
items.
• To remove easily remaining burned
food, soak pots and pans in water be-
fore you put them in the appliance.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening down.
• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do
not bond together. Mix spoons with
other cutlery.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch
other glasses.
• Put the small items in the cutlery bas-
ket.
• Put the light items in the upper bas-
ket. Make sure that they do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a pro-
gramme.
8.4 Before starting a
programme
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly in-
stalled.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• The position of the items in the bas-
kets 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 tab-
lets).
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
Dirty filters and clogged spray
arms decrease the washing re-
sults.
Make a check regularly and, if
necessary, clean them.
