• Soak or slightly scour cookware with

firmly cooked-on or baked-on food

before washing it in the appliance.

• Make sure that items in the baskets

do not touch or cover each other.

Only then can the water completely

reach and wash the dishes.

• You can use dishwasher detergent,

rinse aid and salt separately or you

can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''All in

1''). Follow the instructions on the

packaging.

• Select a programme according to the

type of load and the degree of soil.

 offers the most efficient use of

water and energy consumption.

• To prevent limescale buildup inside

the appliance:

– Refill the salt container whenever

necessary.

– Use the recommended dosage of

the detergent and rinse aid.

– Make sure that the current level of

the water softener agrees with the

hardness of the water supply.

– Follow the instructions in the

chapter "Care and cleaning".

10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and

detergent

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent

designed for dishwasher. Other

products can cause damage to the

appliance.

• In areas with hard and very hard

water, we recommend to use basic

dishwasher detergent (powder, gel,

tablets containing no additional

agents), rinse aid and salt separately

for optimal cleaning and drying

results.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve

with short programmes. To prevent

detergent residues on the tableware,

we recommend that you use tablets

with long programmes.

• Always use the correct quantity of

detergent. Insufficient dosage of

detergent can result in poor cleaning

results and hard-water filming or

spotting on the items. Using too much

detergent with soft or softened water

results in detergent residues on the

dishes. Adjust the amount of

detergent based on the water

hardness. Refer to the instructions on

the detergent packaging.

• Always use the correct quantity of

rinse aid. Insufficient dosage of rinse

aid decreases the drying results.

Using too much rinse aid results in

bluish layers on the items.

• Make sure that the water softener

level is correct. If the level is too high,

the increased quantity of salt in the

water might result in rust on cutlery.

10.3 What to do if you want to

stop using multi-tablets

Before you start to use separately

detergent, salt and rinse aid, complete

the following steps:

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 put dishes in the baskets.

4. When the programme is complete,

adjust the water softener according

to the water hardness in your area.

5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse

aid.

6. Activate the rinse aid empty

notification.

10.4 Loading the baskets

• Always use the whole space of the

baskets.

• Use the appliance to wash

dishwasher-safe items only.

• Do not wash in the appliance items

made of wood, horn, aluminium,

pewter and copper as they could

crack, warp, get discoloured or pitted.

• Do not wash in the appliance items

that can absorb water (sponges,

household cloths).

• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and

pans) with the opening facing

downwards.

• Make sure that glass items do not

touch each other.

• Put light items in the upper basket.

Make sure that the items do not move

freely.
