Important

• Let the dishes become cold before you

remove them from the appliance. Hot
dishes can be easily damaged.

• First remove the items from the lower

basket, then from the upper basket.

• There can be water on the sides and on

the door of the appliance. Stainless
steel becomes cool more quickly than
the dishes.

HINTS AND TIPS

8.1 

The water softener

Hard water contains a high quantity of
minerals that can cause damage to the
appliance and bad washing results. The
water softener neutralises these minerals.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water soft-
ener 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 dish-
washer salt and water.

8.2 

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 rins-

ing phase, to dry the dishes without
streaks and stains.

• Combi detergent tablets contain deter-

gent, rinse aid and other added agents.
Be sure that these tablets are applica-
ble to the water hardness in your area.
Refer to the instructions on the packag-
ing of the products.
If you want to use these tablets out of
the applicable water hardness, you
must also use dishwasher salt. First ac-
tivate the Multitab option, then adjust

the water softener to the water hard-
ness in your area and use dishwasher
salt.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve

with short programmes. To prevent de-
tergent residues on the tableware, we
recommend that you use the tablets
with long programmes.

Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to the
instructions on the detergent
packaging.

8.3 

Loading the baskets

Refer to the supplied leaflet with
examples of the load of the bas-
kets.

• 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.
• To remove easily remaining burned

food, soak pots and pans in water be-
fore you put them in the appliance.
