Using Your Dishwasher

LOADING THE DISHWASHER BASKET
Recommendation

Attention before or after Loading the Dishwasher
Baskets.
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these
loading guidelines. Features and appearance of
baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your
model.

Scrape off any large food particles. Soften remnants of
burnt food in pans.

Consider buying utensils which are identified as
dishwasher-proof.
Use a mild detergent that is described as 'kind to
dishes'. If necessary, seek further information
from the detergent manufacturers.
For particular items, select a program with as low
a temperature as possible.
To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery
out of the dishwasher immediately after the
programme has ended.

LIMITED SUITABILITY:

It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running
water. Place objects in the dishwasher in following
way:
1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are

faced downwards.

2. Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be

loaded aslant so that water can run off.

3. All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip

over.

4. All utensils are placed in the way that the spray

arms can rotate freely during washing.

NOTE: Very small items should not be washed in the
dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the baskets.

Removing the Dishes

To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into
the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the
lower basket first and then the upper basket.

Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans

etc. With the opening facing downwards so that
water cannot collect in the container or a deep
base.
Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside

one another, or cover each other.

To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.

Load large items which are most difficult to clean

into the lower basket.

The upper basket is designed to hold more

delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses,
coffee and tea cups

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position

are a potential hazard!

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as

carving knives must be positioned horizontally in
the upper basket.

Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is

important for good results and for reasonable
consumption of energy.

Location of main wash cycle detergent.

Location of pre-wash cycle detergent.

Please observe the manufacturers dosing and
storage recommendations as stated on the detergent
packaging.

Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional
detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent chamber.
This detergent will take effect during the pre-wash
phase.

NOTE: See information about the amount of
detergent for the single programs on page 19. Please
be aware, that according to the level soiling and the
specific hardness of water differences are possible.

recommendations on the detergent packaging.

WARNING! Dishwasher detergent is poisonous!
Take care to keep it out of reach of children.

Proper Use of Detergent

Only use detergent specifically made for the use in

dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser

until you're ready to wash dishes.

Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The
marking indicates the dosing levels, as shown below:

Detergent Dispenser

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each
wash cycle following the instructions provided in the
wash  cycle  table.  Your  dishwasher  uses  less
detergent  and  rinse  aid  than  Conventional
dishwasher.  Generally,  only  one  tablespoon  of
detergent  is  needed  for  a  normal  wash  load.  More
heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add
the  detergent  just  before  starting  the  dishwasher,
otherwise  it  could  get  damp  and  will  not  dissolve
properly.

Adding detergent to Dishwasher

If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid will

spring open.
Always add the detergent just before starting each

wash cycle.
Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.
