3. HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE

HOW TO FILL THE DETERGENT DISPENSER

Only fill the detergent dispenser prior to starting a wash programme. Only use detergents specially recommended for dishwashers, observing the manufacturer’s recommended dosage. Observe the manufacturer’s safety warnings!

Press the left button (button 1) on the dispenser to open the detergent dispenser compartments. a. Powder/gel/tabs

Fill the detergent dispenser compartments in accordance with the wash programme selected (table 1.1).

Programmes without pre-wash:

Pour the entire recommended dosage into compartment A. Programmes with pre-wash:

Pour 2/3 of the recommended dosage into the large compartment A and 1/3 into the small compartment B.

Dishwasher tabs should be placed, as per the manufacturer’s recommendations, in compartment A.

If the “Half load” option is selected, detergent dosage should be reduced by approximately 1/3.

b. Combined action detergents (2 in 1/3 in 1/... etc.)

Dishwasher tabs should be placed, as per the manufacturer’s recommendations, in compartment A.

Shut and firmly press the detergent compartment lid shut after filling.

Large	Button 1	Small
compartment A	compartment B

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

The guarantee is not applicable if faults are caused by the use of these products.

HOW TO CHECK/FILL/ADJUST RINSE AID

Not necessary when using a combined action detergent.

a. How to check the rinse aid level

Check the visual indicator C on the dispenser: dark = sufficient rinse aid, clear = add rinse aid.

In the case of appliances with an electric indicator on the		Indicator C
control panel, the rinse aid indicator	lights up at the end

of the wash cycle when rinse aid needs to be added.

b. How to fill the rinse aid dispenser			max
Press the right button on the dispenser (button 2 ) to open
the rinse aid compartment.
Fill the dispenser with rinse aid up to the “max” line
(approx. 150 ml).			Button 2
Shut the lid again.

Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers.

If rinse aid is accidentally spilt, immediately remove it to avoid the formation of excessive suds which could cause appliance malfunctioning.

c. How to adjust the rinse aid dosage regulator:

The rinse aid dosage can be adjusted to the detergent used. The lower the setting, the less rinse aid is dispensed (factory setting: position 4).

Press the button 2 to open the cover.

Using a coin or similar object, turn the arrow to the desired setting. After adjusting the rinse aid setting, shut the cover again.

If the dishes often have whitish streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting (1-3). Dishes did not 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.
