The following hints will ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use
and also help to protect the
environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When needed, use the prewash
programme (if available) or select a
programme with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of 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, rinse aid and salt separately or you
can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''3in1'',
''4in1'', ''All in 1''). Follow the
instructions written on the packaging.
• Select the programme according to
the type of load and degree of soil.With the ECO programme you have
the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and
cutlery with normal soil.10.2  Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for dishwasher. Other products can
cause damage to the appliance.
• Multi-tablets are usually suitable in areas with a water hardness up to 21°dH. In areas exceeding this limit,
rinse aid and salt must be used in
addition to the multi-tablets.
However, in areas with hard and very
hard water we recommend to use
solo-detergent (powder, gel, tablets
without additional functions), rinse aid
and salt separately for optimal
cleaning and drying results.
• If you use multi-tablets you can select the Multitab option (if available). This
option increases the cleaning and drying results with the use of multi-
tablets.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programmes. To preventdetergent 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
packaging.10.3  What to do if you want to
stop using multi-tablets
Before you start to use separately
detergent, salt and rinse aid do the
following procedure.
1. Set the highest level of the water
softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid
containers are full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a
rinsing phase. Do not add detergent
and do not load the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed,
adjust the water softener according to the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse
aid.
6. Activate the rinse aid dispenser.
10.4  Loading the baskets

that are dishwasher-safe.

pewter and copper.
