Operation Manual

8.2 Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
for dishwasher. Other products can
cause damage to the appliance.
• The rinse aid helps, during the last
rinsing phase, to dry the dishes with-
out streaks and stains.
• Combi detergent tablets contain de-
tergent, rinse aid and other added
agents. Be sure that these tablets are
applicable to the water hardness in
your area. Refer to the instructions on
the packaging of the products.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use the tab-
lets with long programmes.
Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to
the instructions on the detergent
packaging. The instructions on
the packaging usually refer to
large dishwashers (12 settings).
