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.
What to do if you want to stop
using multi-tablets
Before you start using 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
programme. Do not add
detergent and do not put dishes in the
baskets.
4. When the programme is completed,
adjust the water softener according to
the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse
aid.
Before starting a programme
Before you start the selected programme,
make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly
installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid
(unless you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the
baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type
of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
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 glasses do not touch
each other.
• Put light items in the upper basket.
Make sure that the items do not move
freely.
• Put cutlery and small items in the
cutlery drawer.
• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a
programme.
Unloading the baskets
1. Let the tableware cool down before
you remove it from the appliance. Hot
items can be easily damaged.
