9. HINTS AND TIPS

9.1 General
Follow the hints below to ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use and to
protect the environment.
• Washing dishes in the dishwasher as
instructed in the user manual usually
consumes less water and energy than
washing dishes by hand.
• Load the dishwasher to its full capacity to
save water and energy. For best cleaning
results, arrange items in the baskets as
instructed in the user manual and do not
overload the baskets.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. It
increases the water and energy
consumption. When needed, select a
programme with a prewash phase.
• Remove larger residues of food from the
dishes and empty cups and glasses
before putting them inside the appliance.
• 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.

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.

"Care and cleaning".
9.2 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.
