• Page 13: Installation To prepare the product to do the dishes, perform the first operation in the shortest programme with detergent while the machine is empty. During the initial use, fill the salt reservoir with 1 litre of water prior to filling it with salt. There might be a small amount of water left in the product after factory quality control tests. This has no harm on the product.
• Page 14: Preparation tips for energy saving Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy-efficient manner. Wipe away any coarse food remnants on the dishes before putting them in the product. Operate the product after filling it completely. Put suggested amount of powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergent in the reservoir. When selecting a programme, consider the table of “Programme data and average consumption values”. Do not put more detergent than suggested on the detergent package. You can use powder, liquid/gel or tablet detergents in the machine. Only use in the machine the detergents produced particularly for use with dishwashers. We recommend you not use detergents that contain chlorine and phosphate as they are harmful for the environment. Put the detergent into the detergent dispenser just before operating the machine.
• Page 15: Preparation The best washing performance in dishwashers is obtained by using detergent, rinse aid, and water softening salt individually. Observe the instructions of the detergent manufacturer on the package when using tablet detergents. Contact the detergent manufacturer if your dishes are wet and/or if you notice limescale spots particularly on your glasses after the washing programme is over when using a tablet detergent. Use powder or liquid/gel detergent in short programmes without prewash since the solubility of the tablet detergent changes depending on the temperature and time. When you switch to powder detergent from tablet detergent, make sure that salt and rinse aid reservoirs are full. In addition to conventional tablet detergents, there are commercially available detergent tablets that show water softening salt and/or rinse aid effect. Some types of these detergents contain special-purpose components such as glass and stainless steel protectors. These tablets show their effects up to a certain water hardness level (21°dH). Water softening salt and rinse aid must also be used together with the detergent if the water hardness level is above the mentioned level. Set the water hardness to the highest level and perform an empty run.
• Page 16: Preparation If there are stains on tableware items after washing, the rinse aid level must be adjusted. The rinse aid used in dishwashers increases drying efficiency and prevents water or lime stains. Care must be taken to ensure there is rinse aid in the reservoir and to use products specifically made for dishwashers. Wipe clean any spilled rinse aid outside the reservoir to prevent foaming and decreased washing performance. Never wash dishes soiled by cigarette ash, candle remnants, or chemicals in your dishwasher. Do not wash silverware and cutlery with wooden or bone stems, glued pieces, or items not resistant to heat. Decorative prints on chinaware and aluminum or silver items may get discolored after washing. Some delicate glass types and crystals may become dull over time. Check if the tableware you intend to purchase is suitable for dishwasher washing. Fill the rinse aid reservoir until the “MAX” level.
• Page 17: Preparation You can use your dishwasher in the optimum way with respect to energy consumption and washing and drying performance only if you place the dishes in an orderly way. Wipe away any coarse food remnants on the dishes before placing them in the dishwasher. Place thin, narrow pieces in the middle sections of baskets if possible. Place the heavily soiled and bigger items in the lower basket and smaller, delicate and light items in the upper basket. Place the hollowed dishes such as bowls, glasses and pans upside down in the dishwasher. To prevent possible injuries, always place the sharp and pointed dishes such as service fork, bread knife, etc. upside down. Unload dishes in the lower basket first and then the dishes in the upper basket.
