6.1 Dish washing tips
General note
▪ Do not overload the baskets.
▪ Dishes, pots and pans with heavily burned-on food debris stuck to them should be
soaked in water first.
▪ Load beverage and food containers such as cups, glasses, pots, etc. with the opening
facing downwards so that the water can drain off.
▪ When loading, ensure glasses do not touch so as to prevent damage and water
spots.
▪ When cleaning range hood grease filters, select the «Intensive»
programme and
use the maximum amount of detergent.
Energy and water economy
▪ Load to the maximum capacity of the appliance.
▪ Do not pre-rinse the dishes manually. This leads to increased water and energy con-
sumption.
▪ If the dishes are cleaned in the dishwasher following the operating instructions, then,
as a rule, less water and energy are consumed than with manual washing.
Dishes
Not all table- and kitchenware are dishwasher safe.
▪ Clean wooden or plastic parts that are sensitive to damage from heat and detergent
suds by hand.
▪ Pottery has a tendency to crack or chip.
▪ The printing on glass and porcelain is hard-wearing only to a point and eventually over
time can wear off.
▪ Glassware, depending on the type and the detergent being used, can become cloudy.
Check with your glassware supplier as to whether your glassware is dishwasher safe.
▪ Stress and tension in thick cut crystal glasses and dishes can cause cracking.
▪ Do not wash dishes with adhesive labels on them. Adhesive labels can come off and
clog up the filter system.
▪ Objects made of silver, copper and tin tend to discolour, turning brown or black.
▪ Spots tend to form on aluminium. Wash aluminium separately or by hand.
6.2 Selecting detergent
General note
Do not use washing-up liquid! Strong foaming can cause the appliance to malfunc-
tion. Follow the dosage instructions printed on the detergent packaging exactly.
Should you have any questions, please contact the detergent manufacturer. Using
too high or too low a dosage can cause damage to the appliance.
▸Only use detergent suitable for dishwashers (tabs, powder, gel, combination cleaning
products).
30
6 Operation
Tabs
Tabs are suitable for programmes with wash temperatures of over 55°C. Tabs may not
dissolve properly in short programmes with wash temperatures of below 55°C, affecting
the cleaning performance of the appliance.
Combination cleaning products (tabs/powder)
If using combination cleaning products, which should render the use of rinse agent and
regeneration salt superfluous, please observe the following tips:
▸Check that the water hardness range indicated by the detergent manufacturer on the
product packaging matches the hardness of your local water supply.
▸Activate the «All in 1»
user setting (see page 41).
– The programmes and displays are adapted to suit the combination cleaning
product.
▸If the
refill indicator flashes, refill the salt reservoir with regeneration salt.
▸If the
refill indicator flashes, refill the rinse agent reservoir with rinse agent.
If, after washing and drying, the results are not satisfactory:
▸use conventional cleaning products.
▸Deactivate the «All in 1»
user setting (see page 41).
For complaints, contact the detergent manufacturer.
6.3 Adding the detergent
Ensure no cleaning agent gets into the opening of the door lock. This can cause
the door lock to malfunction.
Powder
▸Open the detergent dispenser 2 by push-
ing the release catch 1 in the direction of
the arrow.

▸Observe the «20 and 30 ml» level marks
