How to load your dishes  
Before washing, a few small steps can help you get a better wash and keep your dishwasher for longer.  
Remove the largest scraps of food left over on your plates, soak saucepans and frying pans with tough  
incrustations. After loading your dishes, make sure the blades on the sprayer arm turn well  
First of all.

Warning  
Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine the detergent, salt and rinse aid  
all in one. If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the  
relevant dispenser to prevent the formation of white streaks on your dishes or on the appliance interior.  
In any case, please read the manufacturer's instructions provided on the packet.  
If you use only these products, it is normal for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights to flash permanently after  
a certain number of cycles.

To optimise consumption levels, try to use the

quite some time to fill up your dishwasher,  
use the soak cycle to avoid the formation of  
bad odours and caked-on food.  
The right wash cycle.  
Select the most suitable wash cycle for the  
type of load you have placed in the dishwasher.  
The choice of wash cycle depends on the type  
of dishes to wash and on how dirty they are.  
To select the right wash cycle, please consult
