HINTS AND TIPS

General
The following hints will ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use and
also help to protect the environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from the
dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When
needed, use the prewash programme (if
available) or select a programme with a
prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• When loading the appliance, make sure
that the dishes can be completely
reached and washed by the water
released from the spray arm nozzles.
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.
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

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 remaining food from the items.
