It may be prevented by increasing the amount of detergent. • Detergents without chlorine have less bleaching effect. Coloured stains may not be completely removed. This may be prevented by increasing the amount of detergent, using a programme with a higher wash temperature or using a detergent with chlorine. Warning! Two-in-one and three-in-one detergents You will obtain the best results from your dishwasher if you use separate detergent, rinse aid and watersoftening salt.
Using two-in-one detergent: detergent and softening salt • These detergents do not contain rinse aid so you need to use the rinse aid setting as described in the manual, making sure that there is rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser with every wash and that you refill the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid every time it is empty. Using two-in-one detergent and rinse aid • These detergents will not give you the same drying performance that you can obtain by using separate detergent, salt and rinse aid.
Filling detergent dispenser If the dishwasher is considerably full and the dishes are relatively dirty, fill the main container (A) up to 25cm³ level. If the dishwasher is not quite full and the dishes are only slightly soiled, fill the main container (A) only up to 15cm³ level. If your dishes are kept unwashed for a long time and the food particles are stuck on the dishes also fill the small container (B) up to 5cm³.
Rinse aid Use only rinse aid intended for household dishwashers. The rinse aid is specially formulated to be used in the dishwashers for the prevention of watermarks and scale on dishes and to increase the efficiency of the washing and drying processes. Therefore, make sure that there is adequate amount of rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser of your machine. Filling the rinse aid dispenser Open the rinse aid dispenser lid by pressing the button as shown in the diagram.

Folding plate support rods There are two separate “folding plate support rods” in the lower basket of your dishwasher designed to allow you more space to accommodate saucepans and large bowls in the lower basket.
