HINTS AND TIPS

The water softener
Hard water contains a high quantity of min-
erals that can cause damage to the appli-
ance 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 im-
portant 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.
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.
• Combi detergent tablets contain deter-
gent, rinse aid and other added agents.
Be sure that these tablets are applicable
to the water hardness in your area. Refer
to the instructions on the packaging of
the products.
• 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 in-
structions on the detergent packaging.
Loading the baskets
Refer to the supplied leaflet with exam-
ples of the load of the baskets.
• 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.
• 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 before you
put them in the appliance.
• 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 oth-
er glasses.
• Put the small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put the light items in the upper basket.
Make sure that they do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move
freely before you start a programme.
Before starting a programme
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly instal-
led.
• The spray arms are 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
(unless you use combi detergent tablets).
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
