If you are using salt that takes longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The operation of the machine is not affected. Use of rinse aid Warning! Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
Daily use • Check if it’s necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid. • Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher. • Fill with dishwasher detergent. • Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes. • Start the wash programme. Helpful hints and tips Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher. • Before loading the dishes, you should: – Remove all left over food and debris.
Load cutlery and dishes The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepan, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. A service dish can be placed in front of the cutlery basket. It is possible to adjust the width of the left row of prongs. 1. Take the right-hand row of prongs at the back. 2. Pull it upwards until it disengages. 3. Push it backwards out of the guide. 4. Insert the prong in the other guide. 5. Press it down until it engages into place.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together. To make loading of the cutlery basket easier, lower the cutlery basket handle. To reassemble, reverse the procedure. For best results we recommend that you use the cutlery grids. If the size and dimensions of the cutlery do not allow the use of the grids, they can be easily hidden. The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibility.
1. Pull out the basket until it stops. 2. Lift up the upper basket as far as it will go and then lower it vertically. It will latch into the lower or higher position. Glass holder • For glasses with long stems and tall cylindrical glasses, fold up the glass holder. (Picture 1). • To unload or when it is not needed, fold the glass holder back to the right. (Picture 2). Warning! An open door can be a hazard. Close the door after loading your appliance.
Maximum plate sizes with upper basket in lower position. Arrangement of large plates in the lower basket. 20 30 25 Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution. 1 2 Fill with detergent 1. Open the lid. 3.
4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place. Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates.

Therefore, please use long washing programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
4. To change the setting, press button B again, the digital display indicates the new setting. 5. To memorize the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button. If you decide to revert back to the use of individual detergents we advise that you: 1. Deactivate the Multitab function. 2. Fill up the salt container and the rinse aid dispenser again. 3. Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting and perform 1 normal washing programme without loading any dishes. 4.
way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved. Unloading the dishwasher steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes. • Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance. • Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by the variations of the power supply and the amount of dishes. Care and cleaning Cleaning the filters The filters must be checked and cleaned. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result. Warning!
