Detergents

When powder or gel
detergent is used,
regeneration salt must be
added and water hardness
level must be set as indicated
in the table on the right.

Also, when tablets which
include salt functionality are
used, regeneration salt still
must be added.

Once regeneration salt is added, immediately start a wash progra m (t he “ Pre-was h” pr ogr am al one is not sufficient).
Residual saline solution or grains of salt can lead to deep-down corrosion, irreparably damaging the stainless steel components.
The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by such circumstances.

RINSE AID NEEDS TO BE ADDED.

dark: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED

Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause
a fault function of the appliance.

If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6).
Plastic dishes have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.

Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder
detergent). Detergents with rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.

Use only one tablet per one cycle, only
placed in detergent dispenser.

Some types of tablets may not dissolve
completely during the short cycles (Glass,
Express, Handwash); placing the tablet
on the tub bottom can help d issolving and
washing.

Insert detergent: Tablet / powder / gel into the big chamber.

Please look for the recommendation of th e detergent manufacturer

on the packaging of the detergent product.
