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.
THE WATER SOFTENER
The water softener removes minerals from the
water supply, which would have a detrimental effect
on the washing results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the harder
your water is. Water hardness is measured in
equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted according to
the hardness of the water in your area. Your local
water authority can advise you on the hardness of
the water in your area. It is important to set the right
level of the water softener to assure good washing
results.
USING SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT
•
Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for
dishwasher. Other products can cause damage
to the appliance.
•
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.
•
At least once a month run the appliance with the
use of appliance cleaner which is particularly
suitable for this purpose.
•
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.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU WANT TO STOP USING
MULTI-TABLETS
Before you start to use separately detergent, salt
and rinse aid do the following procedure.
1. Set the highest level of the water softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid containers
are full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a rinsing
phase. Do not add detergent and do not load
the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed, adjust the
water softener according to the water hardness
in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.
6. Activate the rinse aid empty notification.
LOADING 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.
•
Make soft the remaining burned food on the
items.
•
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.
BEFORE STARTING A PROGRAMME
Make sure that:
•
The filters are clean and correctly installed.
•
The cap of the salt container is tight.
•
The spray arms are not clogged.
•
There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid (unless
you use multi- tablets).
•
The position of the items in the baskets is
correct.
