HINTS AND TIPS
10.1
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
and rinse aid separately or you can
use the multi-tablets. 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.
10.2
Using rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use rinse aid and detergent for
dishwasher. Other products can cause
damage to the appliance.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programs. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use the
tablets with long programs.
• Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to the
instructions on the detergent
packaging.
10.3
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.
• Make soft the remaining burned food
on the items.
• 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
other glasses.
• Put small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put light items in the upper basket.
Make sure that the items do not
move.
• Make sure that the spray arm can
move freely before you start a
programme.
10.4
Before starting a

• The filters are clean and correctly
installed.

you use multi- tablets).
• The position of the items in the
baskets is correct.
