Using Your Dishwasher
Adjusting the Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has four scales. Always start
with the dispenser set on "3". If spots and poor drying
are a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid
dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating
the dial to "4". The recommended setting is "3".
(Factory value is "3".)
NOTE: Increase the dose if there are drops of water or
lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if
there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a
bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

NOTE: The upper rack has side flaps (pictured at left
above basket). There are 4 (2 on each side). These
can be adjusted into 2 positions = position 1 (high)
and position 2 (low).
To move the flaps between these positions, locate the
large hinges clip each flap to the upper rack. There are
two of these at either end of each flap. Gently pull
both clips off the wire rack and move the flap to the
desired position.
Position 1
The upper position will accommodate items such as
glass tumblers (placed beneath flap) and wine
glasses. Wine glasses can be placed upside down so
that the neck rests in the grooves at side of flap with
the base of the glass facing upward.
Position 2
When the flaps are moved to the lower position, they
can be used to hold additional tumblers, cups and
mugs. Always check that you are only placing items
on the flaps that will clear the ceiling height of your
dishwasher when you push the rack back in. Be
particularly careful with long-stemmed glassware
such as champagne glasses breakage hazard!
Loading the Lower Basket
We recommend that you place large items which are
most difficult to clean into the lower basket: pots,
pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the
figure below.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the
side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation
of the top spray arm.
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed
Ÿ
top down.
Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow
Ÿ
out.
The bottom basket feature fold down tine rows so
Ÿ
that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.
3 - Saucers
4 - Dessert dishes
5 - Dinner plates
6 - Soup plates
7 - Cutlery basket
Folding spikes
For better stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can
be folded down as show in the picture below.
Cutlery Basket
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with the
handles at the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, the
spoons should be loaded separately into the appropriate
slots, especially long utensils should be placed in the
horizontal position at the front of the upper basket as shown
in the picture.

Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents:
1. With phosphate and with chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without phosphate and without chlorine
Normally new pulverised detergent is without
phosphate. Thus the water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to
fill salt in the salt container even when the hardness of
water is only 6 °dH. If detergents without phosphate
are used in the case of hard water often white spots
appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add
more detergent to reach better results. Detergents
without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and
coloured spots will not be removed completely. In this
case please choose a program with a higher
temperature.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, detergents can
be split in two basic types:
Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic
Ÿ
components
Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural
Ÿ
enzymes
The use of“normal” washing programs in combination
with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is
good for your dishes; these wash programs are
specifically matched to the dirt-dissolving properties
of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this
reason “normal”wash programs in which
concentrated detergents are used can achieve the
same results that can otherwise only be achieved
using “intensive” programs.
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at
different speeds. For this reason some detergent
tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning
power during short programs. Therefore please use
long programs when using detergent tablets, to
ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
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
Ÿ
spring open.
Always add the detergent just before starting each
Ÿ
wash cycle.
Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.
