What to do if you want to stop using multi- tablets
Before you start to use separately detergent and rinse
aid do the following procedure.
1. Make sure that the rinse aid container is full.
2. Start the shortest programme with a rinsing phase.
Do not add detergent and do not load the baskets.
3. When the programme is completed, adjust the
released quantity of rinse aid.
4. Activate the rinse aid empty notification.
Loading the baskets
Refer to examples of the load of the baskets as
shown in "Preparing and loading dishes".
•
Only use the appliance to wash items that are
dishwasher-safe.
•
Do not put in the appliance items made of wood,
aluminium, pewter and copper.
•
Do not put in the appliance items that can absorb
water (sponges, household cloths).
•
Remove remaining food from the items.
Factors affecting performance
Using rinse aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water
spots and filming. Without rinse aid, your dishes and
dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture.
In addition, the heated dry option will not perform as
well without rinse aid. The rinse aid dispenser, located
next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a
measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse.
If spotting and poor drying is a problem, increase
the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the
dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the
dispenser cap.
If the rinse aid is low, the rinse aid light turns on at
the beginning and end of the cycle indicating that it is
time to refill. Refer to "Operating Instructions" > "Filling
the rinse aid dispenser" section.
Water temperature
Hot water is required for optimum dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should
be at least 120° F (49°C) to achieve satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
1. Turn on the hot water faucet near the dishwasher
and let it run for several minutes.
2. Hold a thermometer (a candy or meat
thermometer will work) in the water stream to
check the temperature. If temperature is below
120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the hot
water heater thermostat setting.
•
Soak items with remaining burned food in water.
•
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 each other.
•
Put small items in the cutlery basket.
•
Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that
the items do not move.
Before starting a programme
Make sure that:
•
The filters are clean and correctly installed.
•
The spray arms are not clogged.
•
There is rinse aid (unless you use multi- tablets).
•
The position of the items in the baskets is correct.
•
The programme is applicable for the type of load
and for the degree of soil.
•
The correct quantity of detergent is used.
Important! To make sure that the water entering the
dishwasher is hot, run hot water from the nearest hot
water faucet to clear cool water from the pipe before
starting the cycle.
Heat dry function
The heat dry function, when used with a rinse aid,
enhances drying performance. If you do not choose
the heat dry function, items in your load that will not
be completely dry at the end of the cycle.
Water pressure
For optimum performance, the hot water supply for
your dishwasher must provide water pressure of
at least 20 psi and no more than 120 psi. You may
experience low water pressure during high-demand
periods, such as when laundry or showers are in
use while you are washing the dishes. To avoid this
problem, wait until hot water demand is reduced
before starting the dishwasher.
