AEG F68452IM0P - Manual (Page 29)

If you do not press the on/off
button, the AUTO OFF function
automatically deactivates the ap-
pliance a few minutes after the
end of the programme.
This helps to decrease the ener-
gy consumption,
Important
• Let the dishes become cold before
you remove them from the appliance.
Hot dishes can be easily damaged.
• First remove the items from the lower
basket, then from the upper basket.
• There can be water on the sides and
on the door of the appliance. Stainless
steel becomes cool more quickly than
the dishes.
8. HINTS AND TIPS
8.1 The water softener
Hard water contains a high quantity of
minerals that can cause damage to the
appliance and bad washing results. The
water softener neutralises these miner-
als.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water
softener clean and in good conditions. It
is important to set the right level of the
water softener. This makes sure that the
water softener uses the correct quantity
of dishwasher salt and water.
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.
8.3 Loading the baskets
Refer to the supplied leaflet with
examples of the load of the bas-
kets.
• Only use the appliance to wash items
that are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items
made of wood, horn, aluminium, pew-
ter and copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that
can absorb water (sponges, household
cloths).
• Remove remaining food from the
items.
• To remove easily remaining burned
food, soak pots and pans in water be-
fore you put them in the appliance.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening down.
• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do
not bond together. Mix spoons with
other cutlery.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch
other glasses.
• Put the small items in the cutlery bas-
ket.
• Put the light items in the upper bas-
ket. Make sure that they do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a pro-
gramme.
