• Soak or slightly scour cookware with firmly
cooked-on or baked-on food before
washing it in the appliance.
• Make sure that items in the baskets do not
touch or cover each other. Only then can
the water completely reach and wash the
dishes.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse
aid and salt separately or you can use the
multi-tablets (e.g. ''All in 1''). Follow the
instructions on the packaging.
• Select a programme according to the type
of load and the degree of soil. ECO offers
the most efficient use of water and energy
consumption.
• To prevent limescale buildup inside the
appliance:
– Refill the salt container whenever
necessary.
– Use the recommended dosage of the
detergent and rinse aid.
– 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".
10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
designed for dishwasher. Other products
can cause damage to the appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard water, we
recommend to use basic dishwasher
detergent (powder, gel, tablets containing
no additional agents), rinse aid and salt
separately for optimal cleaning and drying
results.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with
short programmes. To prevent detergent
residues on the tableware, we recommend
that you use 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.
10.3 What to do if you want to stop
using multi-tablets
Before you start using separately detergent,
salt and rinse aid, complete the following
steps:
1. Set the highest level of the water
softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid
containers are full.
3. Start the 30min programme. 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.
10.4 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.
10.5 Loading the baskets
