Helpful hints and tips

Caution! Only use the appliance for

household utensils that are suitable for
dishwashers.

Do not use the appliance to clean objects
that can absorb water (sponges, household
cloths, etc.).

• Before you load cutlery and dishes:

– Remove all remains of food and debris.
– Soften burnt remains of food.

• While you load cutlery and dishes:

– Load hollow items (e.g. cups, glasses

and pans) with the opening down.

– Make sure that water does not collect

in the container or in a deep base.

– Make sure that cutlery and dishes do

not lie inside one another.

– Make sure that cutlery and dishes do

not cover other cutlery and dishes.

– Make sure that glasses do not touch

other glasses.

– Put small objects in the cutlery basket.

Wash hands to remove any residue of
rinse aid from skin.

Use of combi detergent tablets

These products are detergents with com­bined cleaning and rinsing functions. They
can contain also other cleaning agents.
Refer to the instructions from the manufac­turer for the use of these products.

When you use tablets that contain rinse
aid:

• Set the lowest position for the rinse aid
dosage.

• Do not put rinse aid in the rinse aid dis­penser. In this condition rinse aid indica­tor light is always on when you switch on
the appliance.

.

Follow these steps if the drying results
are not satisfactory or you want to use
normal detergents again

1. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.

2. Adjust the rinse aid dosage.

• Plastic items and pans with non-stick
coatings can retain water droplets. Plas­tic items do not dry as well as porcelain
and steel items.

• Put light items in the upper basket. Make
sure that the items do not move.

Caution! Make sure that the spray
arms can move freely before you start
a washing program.

Loading the cutlery basket

Warning! Do not put long-bladed

knives in a vertical position. Arrange
long and sharp cutlery horizontally in
the upper basket. Be careful with sharp
items.

Forks and spoons should be placed in the
removable cutlery basket with the handles
facing downwards and the knives with their
handles facing upwards

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent
them from nesting together.
For best results we recommend you use
the cutlery grids. If the size and dimensions
of the cutlery do not allow the use of the
grids, they can be easily hidden or re­moved.
