Utensils

Not suitable

  • Cutlery and utensils made of wood.
  • Delicate decorative glasses, craft and antique utensils. These decors are not dishwasher-proof.
  • Plastic parts not resistant to heat.
  • Copper and tin utensils.
  • Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.
  • Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour and fade during the wash cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy after many wash cycles.
  • Glass and utensil damage

Causes:

  1. Glass type and glass production process.
  2. Chemical composition of the detergent.
  3. Water temperature of the wash programme. aus Utensils

Recommendation:

  1. Use only glasses and porcelain which the manufacturer designates as dishwasher-proof.
  2. Use a detergent which protects utensils.
  3. Take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme ends.

Loading the dishwasher

  • Remove large food remnants. It is not necessary to prerinse utensils under running water.
  • Place the utensils so that they are secure and cannot tip over. all utensils with their openings face down. parts with curves or indentations are at an angle, thereby allowing water to drain. does not obstruct rotation of the two spray arms 1: and 1J.
  • Very small utensils should not be washed in the machine, as they may fall out of the baskets.

Unloading the dishwasher

  • To prevent water from dripping off the upper basket onto the utensils in the lower basket, it is recommended to empty the appliance from the bottom up.
  • Hot utensils are sensitive to shock!
  • Therefore, when the programme ends, leave the utensils to cool down in the dishwasher until they can be handled.

Cups and glasse

Utlery basket

  1. You should always place cutlery unsorted with the points downwards.
  2. To prevent injuries, place long, pointed implements and knives on the knife shelf.
  3. Cutlery drawer
  4. Arrange the cutlery in the cutlery drawer as illustrated. Separately arranged utensils are easier to remove after washing.

The drawer can be taken out.

  • Folding spikes * depending on model
  • The spikes can be folded down to improve arrangement of pans, bowls and glasses.
  • Small accessories holder *Small accessories holder depending on model
  • Light-weight plastic accessories, e.g. cups, lids, etc. can be held securely in the small accessories holder.
  • Adjusting the height of the basket
  • The height of the upper utensils basket can be adjusted in 3 stages to create more space either in the upper or lower basket.

Pull out the top basket 12 out.

  • To lower the basket, press in the left and then the right lever on the outside of the basket. In doing so, hold the sides of the basket along the upper edge to prevent it from suddenly dropping.
  • To raise the basket, hold the basket on the sides of the upper edge and lift it up.
  • Before re-inserting the basket again, ensure that it is at the same height on both sides. Otherwise, the appliance door cannot be closed and the upper spray arm will not be connected to the water circuit.

Detergent

  • You can use tablets as well as powder or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing up liquid.
  • The dosage can be individually adjusted with powder or a liquid detergent according to the degree of soiling.
  • Tablets contain an adequately large amount of active ingredients for all cleaning tasks. Modern, powerful detergents predominantly use a lowalkaline formulation with phosphate and enzymes. Phosphates bond the lime in the water. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein.
  • Phosphate-free detergents are less frequent. These have a slightly weaker lime bonding capacity and require a higher dosage. To remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, tomato sauce), oxygenbased bleaching agents are usually used.

Note

  1. To ensure a good washing result, always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging!
  2. If you have further questions, we recommend that you contact the detergent manufacturers’ helpline. m Warning – Read and observe the safety information and instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning and rinsing agents.

Adding detergent

  1. If the detergent dispenser 9" is still closed, press the lock 9* to open the detergent dispenser.
  2. Pour detergent into the dry detergent dispenser 9" only (insert tablet flat, not on its edge).
  3. Dosage: see manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.
  4. The graduated detergent dispenser 9" helps you add the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent.
  5. Usually 20 ml–25 ml are adequate for normal soiling. If using tablets, one tablet is adequate.
  6. Close the cover on the detergent dispenser by sliding it up until the lock engages without difficulty.
  7. The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the optimum time depending on the programme.
  8. The powder or liquid detergent is distributed in the appliance and is dissolved, the tablet falls into the tablet collecting tray where it dissolves in doses.

Tip

  1. If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate.
  2. Suitable detergents and care products can be purchased online via our website or via customer service see back page).

Warning

  • Do not place small parts for washing in the tablet collecting trayB; this prevents the tablet from dissolving evenly.
  • If you want to add more utensils after the programme has started, do not use the tablet collecting tray 1B as a handle for the upper basket. The tablet could already be there and you will touch the partially dissolved tablet.

Notes

  1. If programmes are short, tablets may not have full cleaning effect due to different dissolving properties and there may even be undissolved detergent residue. It is recommended to use washing powder for these programmes.
  2. The Intensive programme (on some models) requires one tab only. When using washing powder, you can apply some of this cleaning agent to the inside of the appliance’s door.
  3. If using detergents in a water-soluble protective cover: Take hold of the cover with dry hands only and put the detergent into an absolutely dry detergent dispenser only, otherwise the detergent may stick.
  4. If you switch from combined detergents to solo detergents, ensure that the water softening system and amount of rinse aid have been set to the correct value.
