Hints and tips The water softener Hard water contains a high quantity of miner- als that can cause damage to the appliance and bad washing results. The water softener neutralises these minerals. The dishwasher salt keeps the water softener clean and in good conditions. It is important to

www.zanussi.comset the right level of the water softener. This makes sure that the water softener uses the correct quantity of dishwasher salt and water. Using salt, rinse aid and detergent

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.

• The rinse aid helps, during the last rinsing phase, to dry the dishes without streaks and stains.

• Combi detergent tablets contain detergent, rinse aid and other added agents. Be sure that these tablets are applicable to the wa- ter hardness in your area. Refer to the in- structions on the packaging of the products.

• 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 pro- grammes. Do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging. Loading the baskets Refer to the supplied leaflet with exam- ples of the load of the baskets.
