The following hints will ensure optimal cleaning and
drying results in daily use and also help to protect the
environment.
Before loading dishes
• Remove larger residues and food scraps from the
dishes into the waste bin.
• When needed, use the prewash program (if
available) or select a program with a prewash
phase.
• For best results distribute the plates, cups and
cutlery evenly in 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 cover each
other.
• You can use dishwasher detergent and rinse aid or
you can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ‘’3-in-1’’, ‘’4-in-
1’’, ‘’All-in-1’’). Follow the instructions written on the
packaging.
• Select the program according to the type of load
and degree of soil.
NOTE: With the Eco (Economic 50°C) program you
have the most ecient use of water and energy
consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil.
ENVIRONMENT!
Operate the machine after it is completely full.
Use pre-washing program only when necessary.
If the appliance is in a location where the risk of freezing
exists, you must completely drain the water that has
remained in the machine. Turn off the tap and drain the
water from the inlet hose.
Using rinse aid and detergent
• Only use rinse aid and detergent for dishwashers. Other
products can cause damage to the appliance.
• At least once a month run the appliance with the use of
appliance cleaner which is particularly suitable for this
purpose.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short
programs. To prevent detergent residue on the
tableware, we recommend that you use the tablets with
long programs.
• Do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent.
Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.
Before starting a program
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is dishwasher rinse aid (unless you use multi-
tablets).
• The position of the items in the baskets is correct.
• The program is applicable for the type of load and for the
degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the dishes loaded in the baskets will
not block the upper and lower spray arms and
prevent them from spinning.
Loading the baskets
• 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).
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the
opening down.
• Soak (soften) and remove any burnt food from your
crockery before placing in the dishwasher.
• Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery drawer.
• 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 program.
