In daily use Loading cutlery and dishes 1 Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other objects that can absorb water must not be washed in the dishwasher. Plastic and Teflon-coated dishes and pans tend to retain water droplets. These dishes and pans therefore do not dry as well as those made of china and stainless steel.
Loading cutlery 1 Warning: Sharp knives and other items of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid in the cutlery rack or in the upper basket to avoid the risk of injury. To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be reached by the water, you should: 1.Place the grid insert on the cut- 2.Place forks and spoons in the lery basket cutlery basket's grid insert with their handles pointing downwards. For larger utensils, such as whisks, leave off one half of the cutlery grid.
Pots, Pans, Large Plates Load large and heavily soiled dishes in the lower basket. The plate rack running right to left at the front right-hand side is most suitable for small flat plates with a diameter of 170-210 mm. A serving plate can be placed in front of the cutlery basket. To make it easier to load larger dishes, all rear plate rests in the lower basket can be folded down. Folding down the right plate rest makes a second plate rest that is particularly suitable for deep plates or bowls. 1.
3. Insert the plate rest in the other guide and press it down at the back until it snaps in. Cups, Glasses, Coffee Service Load smaller, fragile crockery and long, sharp cutlery in the upper basket. Adjustable cup racks • Arrange items of crockery on and under the folding cup racks so that they are offset from each other and water can reach all items. • The cup racks can be folded up out of the way for tall crockery items. • The cup racks can also be fixed in an intermediate position.
Glass holders For glasses with stems and tall cylindrical glasses, fold up the glass holder. ( Top picture) To unload or when not needed, fold the glass holders back to the right. (Middle picture) Glasses can also be placed over the bars pointing up.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket Maximum height of dishes in the 3 Upper basket Lower basket with upper basket raised 19 cm 32 cm with upper basket lowered 21 cm 30 cm The height of the baskets can also be adjusted when they are loaded. Raising/lowering the upper basket 1. Pull out the upper basket completely. 2. Raise the upper basket as far as it will go and then lower it vertically. The upper basket will latch into the lower or the upper position.
Adding detergent 1 Detergents remove the dirt from dishes and cutlery. The detergent must be added before the cycle starts. Only use detergent intended for domestic dishwashers. The detergent compartment is located on the inside of the door. 1. If the lid is closed: Press the release button. The lid will spring open. 3 20 2. Place the detergent in the detergent dispenser. The markings indicate the dosing levels for powder detergents: “20/30” corresponds to approx. 20/30 ml of detergent.
Concentrated detergents 2 Today’s detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet or powder form. Using 50°C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with these concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these dishwashing cycles are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in concentrated detergents.
Using 3in1 detergents 3 3 These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt function. When the 3in1 function is activated, – the addition of special salt and rinse aid from the respective dispenser is prevented. – If the salt and rinse aid dispensers are empty, this is not indicated. – The dishwashing cycles can be up to 30 minutes longer. If you want to use 3in1 detergents, check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness.
