Important safety instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE WARNING! When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following: • Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. • Use the dishwasher only for its intended function. • Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
Before washing for the first time 1. Checking water hardness 2. Basic settings In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher. To switch on the dishwasher, press and hold the main power switch until the display lights up. Water hardness is specified using the following scales: The German water hardness scale (°dH) and the French water hardness scale (°fH).
3. Top up with rinse aid 4. Fill up with salt Use rinse aid to improve wash and dry times. Also use rinse aid to achieve clear and spotless results. Before you begin using a dishwasher with a water softener, you must fill the salt compartment with salt for the water supply to be softened automatically. Use large grain salt or special dishwasher salt. Press to open WARNING! In order to avoid rust stains, a dishwashing program must be started immediately after adding salt.
Loading the dishwasher Energy-efficient dishwashing Fragile dishes Run programs only with a full load Wait until the dishwasher is fully loaded before running a program, this way you save energy. Use the Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odors while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded. Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high temperatures, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent.
