– Make sure that the current level of the
water softener agrees with the
hardness of the water supply.
– Follow the instructions in the chapter
"Care and cleaning".
8.2 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.
• Always use the correct quantity of
detergent. Insufficient dosage of detergent
can result in poor cleaning results and
hard-water filming or spotting on the items.
Using too much detergent with soft or
softened water results in detergent
residues on the dishes. Adjust the amount
of detergent based on the water hardness.
Refer to the instructions on the detergent
packaging.
• Always use the correct quantity of rinse
aid. Insufficient dosage of rinse aid
decreases the drying results. Using too
much rinse aid results in bluish layers on
the items.
• Make sure that the water softener level is
correct. If the level is too high, the
increased quantity of salt in the water
might result in rust on cutlery.
8.3 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 put dishes in 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.
8.4 Loading the baskets
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• Only use the appliance to wash items that
are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not wash in the appliance items made
of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and
copper as they could crack, warp, get
discoloured or pitted.
• Do not wash 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.
8.5 Before starting a programme
Before you start the selected 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 enough salt and rinse aid (unless
you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the
baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type of
load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.
