Hints and tips

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, rinse

aid and salt separately or you can use

the multi-tablets (e.g. ''3in1'', ''4in1'', ''All

in 1''). 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.

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

rinsing phase, to dry the dishes without

streaks and stains.

• Multi-tablets are usually suitable in

areas with a water hardness up to 21

°dH. In areas exceeding this limit, rinse

aid and salt must be used in addition to

the multi-tablets. However, in areas with

hard and very hard water we

recommend to use solo-detergent

(powder, gel, tablets without additional

functions), rinse aid and salt separately

for optimal cleaning and drying results.

• If you use multi-tablets you can select the

Multitab option (if available). This option

improves the cleaning and drying results

with the use of multi-tablets.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve

with short programmes. To prevent

detergent 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.

Loading the baskets

Refer to the supplied leaflet with

examples of the load of 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.

• 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

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.
