Any other kind of salt, which is not specifi cally designed for use in dishwashers, particularly table salt, would damage the softener system in the dishwasher.

PART : WASHING DISHES / CUTLERY Purchase dishes designated as dishwasher safe. Use a gentle dishwashing detergent marked as "gentle on dishes". If necessary seek out further information from the dishwashing detergent manufacturer. For certain types of dishes select a lower temperature. To prevent possible damage, remove glassware and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as possible after the end of the wash.
Taking dishes out of the dishwasher To prevent water dripping down from the upper rack on to the dishes in the lower rack, we recommended you fi rst empty the lower rack and only then the upper rack. Loading the upper rack The upper rack is designed for lighter dishes: glasses, cups and mugs and saucers, also small plates, small bowls and shallow pots (if they are not too soiled).
Incorrect arrangements of dishes For detailed information on performance tests, please contact following address: " ” . In your email, please provide the model name and number (20 digits) which you can find on the appliance door. Setting the upper rack Upper rack partitions The upper rack partitions (1, 2) can be tilted upwards as necessary for example for loading tall glasses.

Setting the height of the upper rack The height of the upper rack can be set so as to create more space for larger dishes in the upper / lower rack. The height of the upper rack can be set without removal by simply lifting / pushing down the upper rack on both sides.
Cutlery rack The cutlery rack is specially designed for loading forks, spoons and knives, large serving spoons and smaller items if necessary. Since it is very easy to take out, it is possible to take out both the upper rack as well as the cutlery rack. The cutlery rack consists of two parts.
PART : CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE BEFORE CLEANING, REGULAR MAINTENANCE OR OTHER HANDLING OF THE APPLIANCE, APART FROM THE OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE, ALWAYS CHECK THAT YOU HAVE DISCONNECTED ITS POWER PLUG FROM THE POWER SOCKET Filtration system The fi lter prevents food remains or other foreign items from entering the pump.

Recommendation: After every use of the dishwasher check that the fi lters are not clogged. You can take out the fi ltration system by unscrewing the coarse fi lter. Remove any food remains and clean out the fi lters under running water. NOTE: You should clean the entire fi ltration set once per week.
Page 41
Reconnect the water supply hose to the water valve. Take out the fi lter on the bottom of the dishwasher and using a sponge suck up the water from the waste tank. NOTE: If your dishwasher is not working because it has frozen, contact an authorised service technician. Cleaning the spraying arms It is important to regularly clean the spraying arms so that hard water minerals do not clog the jets and the bearings of the spraying arms.
PART : TROUBLESHOOTING The appliance may only be repaired by an authorised service centre. Before calling the authorised service centre, check whether you can remedy the problem yourself by reading the instructions or proceeding according to the operating instruction.
