How to fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open"
(left) arrow and lift it out.
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful
not to overfill.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with
"open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right)
arrow.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this
could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a
damp cloth. Don't forget to replace the cap before
you close dishwasher door.
ATTENTION! Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling
with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming
during the next wash.

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.
It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running
water.
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.

Ÿ
frequently.
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
Ÿ
touch.
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.
