Load cutlery. For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it) Load the lower basket. Arrange serving dishes and large lids around the edge of the basket. Place knives and other items of cutlery with sharp points or edges with their handles facing upwards. Risk of injury! The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibility.
Load upper basket. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks. For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards. For glasses with long stems (according to the size and dimensions), set the glass holder to the left or right position.
To lower the basket to the original position proceed as follows: 1. Pull out the basket until it stops. 2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and then allow the mechanism to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it. IMPORTANT! Never lift or lower the basket on one side only IMPORTANT! When the basket is in the higher position you will not be able to use the cup racks. Use of detergent IMPORTANT! Only use detergents suitable for dishwashers. Open the lid.
Detergent tablets Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power during short washing programmes. Therefore, please use long washing programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals. Unloading the dishwasher • Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.
Replace the filters and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a cocktail stick. 1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water. 2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells. 3. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
