Loading the detergent
and the rinse aid.
Filling the detergent container
It is essential to use a detergent that is
specifically designed for dishwashers either
in powder, liquid or tablet form.
Unsuitable detergents (like those for washing up
by hand) do not contain the proper ingredients
for use in a dishwasher and stop the dishwasher
from working correctly.
Normal wash
The detergent container is inside the door
(fig. A “2”). If the lid of the container is closed
press the button to open. At the end of every
wash cycle the lid is always open and ready for
the next time the dishwasher is used.
The amount of detergent to be used varies
according to how dirty the dishes are and on the
type of dishes to be washed.We advise using
20-30 gr of detergent in the wash section of
detergent compartment 1 (Fig.9).
After pouring the detergent into the container
close the lid.
Since not all detergents are the same the
instructions on the boxes of detergent can vary.
We should just like to remind users that too little
detergent does not clean the dishes properly
whilst too much detergent will not produce better
results and is also a waste. Do not use an
excessive amount of detergent and help limit
damage to the environment at the same time.
Wash with soaking cycle
If setting the INTENSIVE wash programme, a
second dose of about 20 gr of detergent (1 table-
spoon) must be added to the machine in the prewash
section of detergent compartment 2 (Fig.10).
Filling the rinse aid container
The rinse aid container can be found to the right
of the detergent container: it has a capacity of
about 130 ml. (Fig A "3"). Turn the cap (B)
anticlockwise and pour enough liquid will last
several washes, up to the maximum level shown
(Fig.11). Replace the cap.
The rinse aid, which is automatically released
during the last rinsing cycle, helps the dishes to dry
quickly and prevents spots and stains forming.
It is always advisable to use rinse aid.
Check the rinse aid level through the indicator eye
which is situated in the centre of the dispenser (A).
Regulating the rinse aid from 1 to 6
The regulator is placed under the cap (B) and
can be turned using a coin. The recommended
position is 3 (Fig.12).
The limestone content of the water considerably
affects the formation of limescale and the drying
performance.
It is therefore important to regulate the quantity
of rinse aid to achieve good washing results.
If, after the wash, streaks occur on the dishes,
decrease the amount by one position.
If whitish spots occur, increase the amount by
one position.

-
the effectiveness of detergents containing the
built in water softener/salt depends on the
hardness of your water supply. Check that the
hardness of your water supply is within the
effective range given on the detergent packaging.
In certain circumstances use of combined
detergents can cause:
- limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher;
- a reduction in washing and drying performance.
Should this occur, we would recommend using
traditional separate products – salt, detergent
and rinse agent. This will ensure that the water
softener in the dishwasher operates correctly.
Please note that on return to the use of conventional
salt, a number of cycles will be required before the
system becomes fully efficient again.
NOTE
Any problems which arise as a direct result
of the use of these products are not covered
by our warranty.
If you select a programme with a prewash cycle,
the performance will be improved by adding a small
amount of detergent during this part of the cycle.
CAUTION! IMPORTANT NOTE ON THE USE
OF COMBINED DETERGENTS
If you are planning to use combined detergents
i.e. those with built in salt and/or rinse agent, we
would advise the following:
- read carefully and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions given on the packaging;
- some combined detergents, particularly those
with built in rinse agent, provide best results
when used with specific programmes;
