FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER diagram

When measuring out the detergent refer to the mentioned earlier information to add the proper quantity.
Inside the dispenser D there are indications to help the detergent dosing.
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 program.

If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABLET button, because it adjusts the program so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.
Usage of detergent not designed for dishwashers may cause malfunction or damage to the appliance.

PROGRAMS TABLE

Pre-treatment of the dishes is not needed before any of the programs. Not all options can be used simultaneously. Values given for programs other than the program Eco are indicative only. The actual time may vary depending on many factors such as temperature and pressure of the incoming water, room temperature, amount of detergent, quantity and type of load, load balancing, additional selected options and sensor calibration. The sensor calibration can increase program duration up to 20 min.
