• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When
needed, select a programme with a
prewash phase.

not touch or cover each other. Only then
can the water completely reach and
wash the dishes.

offers the most efficient use of
water and energy consumption.
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 plain dishwasher
detergent (powder, gel, tablets
containing no additional agents), 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

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.
