… Programme overview

Fondue/Raclette programme

Uses
Removes cheese which tends to stubbornly stick to fondue and raclette
pans and dishes.
Removes food burned on to gratin dishes.Can be used to clean all other dishes.
Tips for best results
Fondue pans made of enamelled metal or stoneware may be cleaned in
the appliance.
Fondue pans made of earthenware (red-brown colour) should not be washed in the appliance as these absorb water.
A Place the fondue pan 1 facing downwards
so that the water can drain away.

Water hardness

The built-in water softener removes limescale from the water, enabling prob­lem-free cleaning. Automatic regeneration occurs at regular intervals, thus guaranteeing its effectiveness. Your appliance is equipped with an automatic limescale sensor. Configuring the level of water hardness is therefore not nec­essary. The appliance will automatically start the regeneration process at the right time. After regeneration, the next programme starts by rinsing out the water softener by pumping water through it and draining simultaneously. For hygiene reasons, regeneration salt is also recommended for use with low water hardness and 3in1 detergents. It is possible to change the settings based on the following water hardness table.
For information on the level of water hardness in your area, visit www.trinkwasser.ch or contact your local water authority.
Changing the water hardness
A Hold the button depressed for 5 seconds (to enter the configuration
mode).
A Press the button 3×.

Care and maintenance

General cleaning

Using the correct dosage of detergent will automatically clean the inside of the appliance. We recommend that the appliance be cleaned twice a year us­ing dishwasher cleaner, see the 'Accessories' section.
Follow the directions for use for dishwasher cleaner carefully. Most dishwasher cleaners work more effectively at higher temperatures. We therefore recommend using the programme for cleaning the appliance.

Cleaning the exterior of the appliance

Immediately wipe away any dirt or traces of detergent. Use a soft cloth damp­ened with water and a little washing-up liquid to clean the surface (with metal surfaces rub in the direction of the polish lines). Polish dry with a soft cloth. Avoid cleaning the surface of the appliance with abrasive or highly «acidic» detergent, stainless steel cleaner, all-purpose scouring pads, wire wool, etc. Doing so could damage the surface. Do not leave any traces of cleaner or detergent on the surface.
A Using a damp cloth, clean the appliance door and operating panel and
then polish dry.
Washing-up liquid or glass cleaner are suitable for this purpose.
A From time to time, clean the seal and the edges of the appliance door.
43
… Care and maintenance

Cleaning the filters

The filter system is comprised of a filter plate 1, a coarse filter with a foreign body trap 2 and a fine filter 3. A blocked filter prevents the wa­ter from draining away and triggers a corre­sponding fault message, which is described in the 'What to do if...' section. Therefore, period­ically check and, if necessary, clean the filters.

Dishwashing tips

Table and kitchenware
Not all table and kitchenware are dishwasher safe.
Handcrafted objects and wooden or plastic parts that are sensitive to heat
or detergent suds should be cleaned by hand.
Decorative glass objects are not dishwasher safe – the decoration will
wear off over time.
Handcrafted pottery has a tendency to crack or chip.Objects made of silver, copper and tin have a tendency to discolour, turn-
ing brown or black.
Stress and tension in thick cut crystal glasses and dishes can cause
cracking.
Depending on the type of glassware and the detergent being used, perma-
nent clouding may result. Check with your glassware supplier as to whether your glassware is dishwasher safe.
Spots tend to form on aluminium. This can affect other items being washed
(spots on porcelain). Aluminium should therefore ideally be washed separately.
General tips
When loading, ensure glasses do not touch (prevents damage to the glass-
es and water spots).
Do not overload the baskets.Load beverage and food containers such as cups, glasses, pots, etc. with
the opening facing downwards so that the water can drain off easily.
Save energy, water and detergent by loading the appliance to capacity.When washing range hood grease filters use the maximum amount of de-
tergent. Select the programme.
