WARNING

- Dishwasher detergent and rinse aid contain chemical components, as do other household detergents. Therefore, they must be kept out of the reach of children.

CAUTION

Use only detergents intended for dishwashers. Using an unsuitable detergent may cause the appliance to fill with foam during operation.

Excessive foam can reduce the washing result and lead to product leakage.

• Using unsuitable detergent and rinse aid can lead to risks of damage, corrosion, poor washing results, poor drying, or leakage.
• Use only detergent and rinse aid that meet the standard. Using non-compliant detergent and rinse aid can lead to risks of damage, corrosion, poor washing results, poor drying, and leakage.
• If too much detergent is used, excessive foam may form. This can lead to foam leakage and stains on dishes in the dishwasher.

NOTE

• Too much detergent can leave a film on dishes and in the wash chamber, leading to poor washing results.
• After washing, check that the detergent has been completely rinsed away.
• Some detergent tablets for the appliance may get stuck in the dispenser due to their size. Tablets can be placed at the bottom of the wash chamber next to the filter before starting the cycle.
• Never use liquid dishwashing detergent in the appliance.
• Tablet detergent is not recommended for use in the Express cycle. If tablet detergent is used, it may cause detergent residue on dishes due to the relatively low rinse temperature.
