Measuring out the detergent
	EN
Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be
extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the
skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher
when the door is open. Check that the detergent receptacle
is empty after completion of the wash cycle.
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 if it has been rinsed
with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce
the amount of detergent used accordingly.
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 Start/Pause button is pressed so as to pause the machine, the wash cycle or the Delayed Start function

(if selected) is interrupted.

At this stage it is not possible to change the wash cycle.

bottom of the appliance.

3.Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.

Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.

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, liquid rinse aid and salt should be used.
