The test strip The dishwashing effectiveness is linked to water hardness. Therefore, the appliance is equipped with a system to reduce the hardness of the water supply.

Fill the detergent dispenser Open the detergent dispenser flap by pressing the detergent dispenser tab to release the lock as shown in the figure. The detergent dispenser features volume marking. Using these markings (lines) you can measure the correct amount of detergent. The dispenser can ac- commodate a maximum of 30g of detergent.
Page 22
Multi-component (multitab) detergents (eg. 2-in-1, 3-in-1, etc.) There are three types of detergents: 1. Containing phosphates and chlorine, 2. Containing phosphates and no chlorine, 3. Containing no phosphates and no chlorine. The latest tablets are generally phosphate-free. Since phosphates have water softening properties, we recommend adding salt to the container even if the water hardness is only 6°dH.
Page 23
Stop using multi-component detergents Add special salt and rinse aid to dispensers. Set the water hardness to the highest level (6) and run an empty dishwasher. Adjust the water hardness. Adjust rinse aid setting. Add rinse aid to the dispenser and adjust setting Use rinse aid to prevent the formation of white water drops, lime scale spots, white streaks that may occur on the dishes, as well as to improve the drying process.

Wipe up spilled rinse aid with a cloth as it will cause the formation of large amounts of foam, and thus will reduce the dishwashing effectiveness.
