Using salt, rinse aid and detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for
dishwasher. Other products can cause dam-
age to the appliance.
• The rinse aid helps, during the last rinsing
phase, to dry the dishes without streaks and
stains.
• Combi detergent tablets contain detergent,
rinse aid and other added agents. Be sure
that these tablets are applicable to the water
hardness in your area. Refer to the instruc-
tions on the packaging of the products.
• 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 pro-
grammes.
Do not use more than the correct quantity
of detergent. Refer to the instructions on
the detergent packaging. The instructions on
the packaging usually refer to large dishwash-
ers (12 settings).
Before starting a programme
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The spray arm is not clogged.
• The position of the items in the baskets is
correct.
• The programme is applicable for the type of
load and for the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.
• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid (un-
less you use combi detergent tablets).
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
Make a check regularly and, if necessary, clean
them.
