"3/1" Products
If you wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse
aid, check whether your dishwasher is fitted with the "3/1 option
button" on the "Controls description" page and then refer to the
section which explains how to use this function.
If the button is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional
products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with
conventional washing cycles "3/1" products might create problems
such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on
dishes.
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in
liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.
3.3 General warnings and recommendations
Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the
following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and
their loading.
There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes,
but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into
account.
Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to:
remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc. which
may clog the filter or damage the wash pump.
soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to
facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER BASKET.
Use the "½ load wash" option (if available) for washing small amounts
of dishes; it saves water and electricity.
When using this function, only load the basket selected for the ½
load wash; the other basket must remain empty.
There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before
loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water.
Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing
results.
