In daily use
●Check if it’s necessary to refill with special salt or rinse aid
●Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
●Fill with dishwasher detergent .
●Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes.
●Start the wash programme.
Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.
●Before loading the dishes, you should:
-Remove large left-overs.
-Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
●When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
-Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms .
-Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
-Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
-To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
-Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
●Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendancy to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes
are not suitable:
-Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearl handles
-Plastic items that are not heat resistant
-Older cutlery with glued parts that is not temperature resistant
-Bonded cutlery items or dishes
-Pewter or copper items
-Lead crystal glass
-Steel items subject to rusting
-Wooden platters
-Items made from synthetic fibres
are of limited suitability:
-Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
-Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently
-Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver.
Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.
-Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the sprays arm can turn freely.

UI21 |
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.
For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart.
To reassemble, reverse the procedure.
UI62 |
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup rack. Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the US64 upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket:
load them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door.
US71
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.

To move to the higher position proceed as follows:
1.Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outwards and slide the basket out.
2.Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops
(A) in their original position.
When the basket is in the higher position you will not be able to use the cup rack(s).

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

(1)Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test Centres").
(2)Ideal for washing crockery and cutlery of breakfast and dinner (fresh soil). Characterised by a duration of about 30 minutes and a washing temperature of 60°C.
The time value is approximate and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by the variations of the power supply.
This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutlery.
(3)The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by the variations of the power supply.
Starting a washing programme
1.Check that the baskets have been loaded correctly and that the spray arms can rotate freely
2.Turn on the water tap
3.Close the dishwasher door
4.Setting and starting the programme
Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the letter of the programme you wish to select corresponds with the programme marker on the control panel (see "Washing programmes" chart).
Press the On/Off push button; the On/Off indicator light will illuminate and the programme will start automatically.
5. To interrupt a washing programme in progress
Interrupt a washing programme in progress ONLY if it’s absolutely necessary
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. Open the door carefully.
●Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop. Close the door; the programme will start from the point in which it was interrupted.
●Press the On/Off push button (in this case the On/Off indicator light turns off). Press the On/Off push button again; the programme will start from the point in which it was interrupted.
6.End of the washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button, the On/Off indicator light turns off.
Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.
Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.
