HINTS AND TIPS
General
Follow the hints below to ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use
and to protect the environment.
• Washing dishes in the dishwasher as
instructed in the user manual usually
consumes less water and energy than
washing dishes by hand.
• Load the dishwasher to its full capacity
to save water and energy. For best
cleaning results, arrange items in the
baskets as instructed in the user
manual and do not overload the
baskets.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. It
increases the water and energy
consumption. When needed, select a
programme with a prewash phase.
• Remove larger residues of food from
the dishes and empty cups and glasses
before putting them inside the
appliance.
• Soak or slightly scour cookware with
firmly cooked-on or baked-on food
before washing it in the appliance.
• Make sure that items in the baskets do
not touch or cover each other. Only
then can the water completely reach
and wash the dishes.
• You can use dishwasher detergent,
rinse aid and salt separately or you can
use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''All in 1'').
Follow the instructions on the
packaging.
• Select a programme according to the
type of load and the degree of soil.
offers the most efficient use of
water and energy consumption.
• To prevent limescale buildup inside the
appliance:
– Refill the salt container whenever
necessary.
– Use the recommended dosage of
the detergent and rinse aid.
– Make sure that the current level of
the water softener agrees with the
hardness of the water supply.
– Follow the instructions in the
chapter "Care and cleaning".
Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
designed for dishwasher. Other
products can cause damage to the
appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard water,
we recommend to use basic
dishwasher detergent (powder, gel,
tablets containing no additional
agents), rinse aid and salt separately
for optimal cleaning and drying results.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
