At the end of the programme
When the programme is completed, an
intermittent acoustic signal operates and
the display shows a message.
1. Press the on/off button to deactivate
the appliance.
2. Close the water tap.
If you do not press the on/off but-
ton, the AUTO OFF device auto-
matically deactivates the appli-
ance after some minutes. This
helps to decrease the energy con-
sumption.

8. HINTS AND TIPS

8.1 The water softener
Hard water contains a high quantity of
minerals that can cause damage to the
appliance and bad washing results. The
water softener neutralises these minerals.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water soft-
ener clean and in good conditions. It is
important to set the right level of the water
softener. This makes sure that the water
softener uses the correct quantity of dish-
washer salt and water.

8.2 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, 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 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.

• Let the dishes become cold be-
fore you remove them from the
appliance. Hot dishes can be
easily damaged.
• First remove the items from the
lower basket, then from the up-
per basket.
• There can be water on the
sides and on the door of the
appliance. Stainless steel be-
comes cool more quickly than
the dishes.
• 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 basket.
Make sure that they do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a pro-
gramme.
8.3 Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
for dishwasher. Other products can
cause damage to the appliance.
• The rinse aid helps, during the last rins-
ing phase, to dry the dishes without
streaks and stains.
• Combi detergent tablets contain deter-
gent, rinse aid and other added agents.
Be sure that these tablets are applica-
ble to the water hardness in your area.
Refer to the instructions on the packag-
ing of the products.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent de-
tergent 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.
