Start-up and use
Measuring out the detergent
A good wash result also depends on the correct amount of
detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not
result in a more effective wash and increases environmental
pollution.
Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can
be adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid
detergent.
In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either
35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent). If tablets
are used, one tablet will be enough.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or it has been rinsed
with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce
the amount of detergent considerably.
For good washing results also follow the instructions shown
on the detergent box. For further questions please ask the
detergent producers' Advice Offices.
If the detergent dispenser is still closed, use the closing
device “A” to open it.
Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser “B” only.
Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly
inside the tub.

The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time
according to the wash cycle.
If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS
option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing
and drying results are always achieved.
Only use detergent which has been specifically designed
for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
The use of tablets is only recommended for models which
offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.
To achieve the best results from each washing and drying
cycle, powder detergent, rinse-aid liquid and salt should
be used.

AUTO WASH CYCLES*: some models of dishwasher are
equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess
the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient
and economic wash cycle accordingly. The duration of the auto
wash cycles may vary due to the operation of the sensor.
Changing a wash cycle in progress
If a mistake was made in the wash cycle selection process, it is
possible to change the cycle provided that it has only just begun:

If the door is opened during the wash cycle or there is a power
cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it
was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity
supply is restored.
