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.

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
Ÿ
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
Ÿ
one another, or cover each other.
To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
Ÿ
Load large items which are most difficult to clean
Ÿ
into the lower basket.
The upper basket is designed to hold more
Ÿ
delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses,
coffee and tea cups
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position
Ÿ
are a potential hazard!
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as
Ÿ
carving knives must be positioned horizontally in
the upper basket.
Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is
Ÿ
important for good results and for reasonable
consumption of energy.

Proper Use of Detergent
Only use detergent specifically made for the use in
Ÿ
dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser
Ÿ
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
Ÿ
spring open.
Always add the detergent just before starting each
Ÿ
wash cycle.
Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.
