HINTS AND TIPS

THE WATER SOFTENER
Hard water contains a high quantity of min-
erals that can cause damage to the appli-
ance and bad washing results. The water
softener neutralises these minerals.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water soft-
ener clean and in good conditions. It is im-
portant to set the right level of the water
softener. This makes sure that the water
softener uses the correct quantity of dish-
washer salt and water.
LOADING THE BASKETS
Refer to the supplied leaflet with
examples of the load of the bas-
kets.
• Only use the appliance to wash items
that are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items made
of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and
copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that
can absorb water (sponges, household
cloths).
• Remove remaining food from the items.
• Make soft the remaining burned food on
the items.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening down.
• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not
bond together. Mix spoons with other
cutlery.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch
other glasses.
• Put small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make
sure that the items do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move
freely before you start a programme.
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 rins-
ing phase, to dry the dishes without
streaks and stains.
• Combi detergent tablets contain deter-
gent, rinse aid and other added agents.
Be sure that these tablets are applicable
to the water hardness in your area. Refer
to the instructions on the packaging of
the products.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent de-
tergent 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 pack-
aging.
BEFORE STARTING A
PROGRAMME
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly instal-
led.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• The position of the items in the baskets
is correct.
• The programme is applicable for the type
of load and for the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid
(unless you use combi detergent tablets).
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
