							HINTS AND TIPS
THE WATER SOFTENER
Hard water contains a high quantity of
minerals that can cause damage to the
appliance and bad washing results. The
water softener neutralises these minerals.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water soft-
ener clean and in good conditions. It is
important to set the right level of the wa-
ter softener. This makes sure that the wa-
ter softener uses the correct quantity of
dishwasher salt and water.
LOADING THE BASKETS
Refer to the supplied leaflet with
examples of the load of the bas-
kets.
• 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).
• Remove remaining food from the items.
• To remove easily remaining burned
food, soak pots and pans in water be-
fore you put them in the appliance.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening down.
• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do
not bond together. Mix spoons with
other cutlery.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch
other glasses.
• Put the small items in the cutlery bas-
ket.
• Put the light items in the upper basket.
Make sure that they do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a pro-
gramme.
USING SALT, RINSE AID AND
DETERGENT
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
for dishwasher. Other products can
cause damage to the appliance.• The rinse aid helps, during the last rins-
ing phase, to dry the dishes without
streaks and stains.
• Combi detergent tablets contain deter-
gent, rinse aid and other added agents.
Be sure that these tablets are applica-
ble to the water hardness in your area.
Refer to the instructions on the packag-
ing of the products.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent de-
tergent 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.
BEFORE STARTING A
PROGRAMME
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly instal-
led.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• The position of the items in the baskets
is correct.
• The programme is applicable for the
type of load and for the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid
(unless you use combi detergent tab-
lets).
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
