Hints and tips

General
Follow the hints below to ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use and
to help you protect the environment.

needed, select a programme with a
prewash phase.

crockery and cutlery with normal soil.
Using rinse aid and detergent
• Only use 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.

detergent residues on the tableware, we
recommend that you use the tablets with
long programmes.
