• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes

• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When needed,

use the prewash programme (if available) or

select a programme with a prewash phase.

• Always use the whole space of the baskets.

• When loading the appliance, make sure that the

dishes can be completely reached and washed

by the water released from the spray arm

nozzles. Make sure that items do not touch or

• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid

and salt separately or you can use the multi-

tablets (e.g. ''3in1'', ''4in1'', ''All in 1''). Follow the

instructions written on the packaging.

• Select the programme according to the type of

load and degree of soil. With the ECO

programme you have the most efficient use of

water and energy consumption for crockery and

cutlery with normal soil.

THE WATER SOFTENER The water softener removes minerals from the

water supply, which would have a detrimental effect

on the washing results and on the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals, the harder

your water is. Water hardness is measured in

The water softener should be adjusted according to

the hardness of the water in your area. Your local

water authority can advise you on the hardness of

the water in your area. It is important to set the right

level of the water softener to assure good washing

USING SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for

dishwasher. Other products can cause damage

• Multi-tablets are usually suitable in areas with a

water hardness up to 21 °dH. In areas

exceeding this limit, rinse aid and salt must be

used in addition to the multi-tablets. However, in

areas with hard and very hard water we

recommend to use solo-detergent (powder, gel,

tablets without additional functions), rinse aid

and salt separately for optimal cleaning and

• If you use multi-tablets you can select the

Multitab option (if available). This option

increases the cleaning and drying results with

the use of multi-tablets.

• 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.

• Do not use more than the correct quantity of

detergent. Refer to the instructions on the

detergent packaging.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU WANT TO STOP USING MULTI-TABLETS Before you start to use separately detergent, salt
