How to operate your machine
Setting the rinse aid quantity to be dosed
The dispensing unit is iocated inside the
filling opening (Fig. 9). You can use it to
reguiate the rinse aid quantity on a scale
of 1—6 corresponding to 1—6 cm^ rinse aid
addition.
For this purpose, set the arrow with a coin
or screwdriver to the required scale position.
The rinse aid dosage is factory-set to
a quantity of 3 cm^ rinse aid (arrow
points to “3”) per washing programme.
In individual cases, more or less rinse aid can
be dispensed, but you should do this only if
you discover imperfect crockery results after
washing (see page 17 under “If you think your
dishwasher is not working properly”).
Add dishwashing detergent — before each washing programme
Before starting a washing programme (except
“Extra pre-wash”), you must fill the detergent
dispenser with dishwasher detergent powder
(Fig. 2/D).
If the lid is closed, press the locking lever
(Fig. 10/a), and the lid will spring open.
The quantity of detergent used depends
on the degree of soiling of the dishes.
For normal soiling, around 20 g (for heavy
soiling, especially with starch and fat, up to
max. 30 g) should be added. The two marking
lines in the detergent dispenser are intended
to help you achieve the correct dosage.
The lower “Min” mark corresponds to around
20 g and the upper “Max” mark to around
30 g detergent when filled level (Fig. 11).
Then press the lid shut. The catch must
engage.
The detergent is dispensed automatically into
the machine during the washing programme.
During programmes with pre-wash, we
additionally recommend you to put around
5 g detergent in the dispenser cap recess
(Fig. 10/b) (recess filled level).
Since the effectiveness of different detergents
may vary, please also note the dosage recom­
mendations of the detergent manufacturer
concerned.
Important note;
The detergent dosage indicated as “Min” and
“Max” applies to the full load which we
recommend as being the most economic
and environmentally acceptable method of
machine dishwashing.
You may of course also wash smaller quanti­
ties of dishes — with correspondingly smaller
detergent dosage. E.g. for half-load, you
should add only max. 15 g detergent to
achieve satisfactory dishwashing results.
Important!
• Use only branded dishwasher detergent
for domestic dishwashers; Never use
conventional washing-up liquids (they
cause heavy frothing, and the dishes will
not be cleaned).
• Always store the detergent in a dry place
in a sealed container (lumpy detergent will
not clean dishes).
• To ensure good economy and as a contri­
bution to environmental protection, never
add too much dishwashing detergent.
If you add too little detergent, starch
residues remain on the dishes and can
only be rubbed off by hand.
