    Not suitable forthe dishwasher

    The following should not becleaned in the dishwasher:

    Wooden cutlery and utensils thesewill leach out and become unsightly;even the utilised stickers are notsuitable for the temperatures whichoccur.Sensitive ornamental glasses, craftutensil and vases, special antiqueor irretrievable utensils. Theseornaments are not dishwasher-proof.Plastic parts sensitive to hot water.

    Copper and tin utensils.Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax,lubricating grease or ink.Absorbent materials such as spongesand cloths.

    Aluminium and silver parts havea tendency to discolour and fade duringthe wash cycle. Even some types of glass(e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy

    after many wash cycles.Recommendation:In future buy utensils which are identifiedas dishwasher-proof.

    Damage to glassware and otherdishesPossible causes:

    type of glass or manufacturing process

    chemical composition of detergentwater temperature and duration ofdishwasher programme.

    Suggested remedy:Use glassware or porcelain dishes thathave been marked dishwasherproofby the manufacturer.Use a mild detergent that is describedas kind to dishes. If necessary, seek

    further information from detergentmanufacturers.

    Select a programme with as low atemperature and as short a duration aspossible.To prevent damage, take glass andcutlery out of the dishwasher as soonas possible after the programme has

    ended.Loading the dishwasher

    It is not necessary to rinse them offunder running water.When loading the dishwasher, ensurethat

    all utensils are secure and cannotfall over.the openings of all receptacles are

    face down.curved or indented utensils are atan incline, allowing water to drain.the two spray arms can rotate freely.

    Very small items should not be washed inthe dishwasher as they could easily fall outof the baskets.

    Removing the dishesTo prevent water dripping from the top

    basket onto the dishes in the lower basket,we recommend that you empty the lowerbasket first and then the top basket.

    Pots and pansLower basket 26

    CutleryCutlery should be placed in thedishwasher always unsorted and with theeating surface pointing downwards. Thespray jet is then better able to reach theindividual parts.

    To prevent injuries, place long, pointedaccessories and knives on the tagre(some models) or on the knife shelf(available as an accessory).

    Folding spikes ** on applicable modelsTo improve stacking of pots and pans, thespikes can be folded down.

    Shelf ** not on all modelsLean tall glasses and those with longstems against the shelf not against otheritems to be washed.

    The cup shelf can be inserted into eitherposition 1 or 2 as shown in diagram.

    Note: With the cup shelf in position 2, thetop basket must be locked into the upperposition to prevent interference with eachother.Long items such as serving utensils,kitchen knives, etc should be place on theshelf and not in the cutlery baskets so theydo not obstruct the rotation of the sprayarms. When not in use the shelf can befold back.

    Detergents

    Information about detergentsYou can use any brand of liquid or powderdetergent, as well as tablets, that havebeen specifically designed for use indomestic dishwashers. (Do not use normalwashing-up liquid!)

    Nowadays there are three types ofdishwasher detergent available:1. those containing phosphates and chlorine,2. those containing phosphates but no chlorine,3. those containing neither phosphates nor chlorine.

    When a phosphate-free detergent is usedin conjunction with hard water, there is agreater possibility that white marks will beleft behind on crockery and glasses, etc.These can be avoided by pouring anincreased amount of detergent into thedispenser.

    Chlorine-free detergents have a reducedbleaching effect. This can mean that teastains are not completely removed orplastic items become discoloured.

    This can be resolved by:selecting a higher temperatureprogramme, or increasing the amount of detergent,orusing a detergent that containschlorine.

    Check the label on the detergentpackaging to determine whether aparticular product is suitable for use withsilverware.

    If you have any further questions, werecommend that you contact the customer

    advice departments of the variousdetergent manufacturers.

    Detergent compartment withmeasuring marksThe side of the detergent compartment ismarked with lines to help you determinehow much powder to add.The capacity of the detergent container is15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up tothe middle line. When the compartment isfull it contains 40 ml.

    If the detergent dispenser 30 is stillclosed, press the lock 32 to open thedetergent dispenser.

    Adding detergent

    Fill the dispenser 30 with detergent.Please observe the manufacturersinstructions printed on the detergentpackaging when determining thecorrect dosage.

    ImportantDue to the different solvency properties ofthe detergent tablets supplied by variousmanufacturers, the cleaning efficiency ofthe detergent may not be fully utilised byshort programmes. It is recommended touse washing powder for theseprogrammes.

    If using the Intensive programme(some models), also pour approx.1015 ml of detergent ontothe appliance door. If using tablets,also place a tablet on the appliancedoor.
