Just bought a dishwasher and don't know where to start? Just follow these 5 simple steps, and your dishes will be sparkling clean from the very first wash.
Step 1: Prepare the dishes
Scrape off large food scraps (bones, peels, rice...). No need for thorough rinsing — just rough clean to save water.
Step 2: Load dishes correctly
Place dishes face down, not overlapping, and not blocking the spray arms. Direct heavily soiled items towards the center.
Step 3: Add detergent tablet, salt, and rinse aid
Place the detergent tablet into the dispenser. If you have hard water, remember to pour salt into the softener compartment and rinse aid into the rinse aid dispenser.
Step 4: Select the appropriate program
For everyday dishes: choose the standard/eco program. For greasy dishes: choose a hotter/more intense program.
Step 5: Regular maintenance
Every 1–2 weeks, remove and clean the bottom filter, and wipe dry the door gasket. Periodically run an empty cycle to clean the dishwasher interior.
