Hints and tips
The water softener
Hard water contains a high quantity of miner-
als that can cause damage to the appliance
and bad washing results. The water softener
neutralises these minerals.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water softener
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 dishwasher salt and water.
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 rinsing
phase, to dry the dishes without streaks and
stains.
• Combi detergent tablets contain detergent,
rinse aid and other added agents. Be sure
that these tablets are applicable to the wa-
ter hardness in your area. Refer to the in-
structions on the packaging of the products.
• 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 pro-
grammes.
Do not use more than the correct quantity
of detergent. Refer to the instructions on
the detergent packaging.
