Dishwashing

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve
the best possible dishwashing results.
1

Load the baskets correctly

Do not rinse dishes under running water before
loading them in the dishwasher. Simply scrape off
large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
See the section Fragile dishes if you want to wash items
that may be considered fragile.
Upper basket and knife basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in
the upper basket. Wine glasses are placed on the wine
glass shelf (if fitted). Place sharp knives in the special
knife basket at the top of the dishwasher, or in the knife
stand on the right (if fitted).
NOTE!
All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!
Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots and cutlery
(in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket. Lower the
fold-down plate supports when washing pots.
14
Cutlery basket
Place cutlery with the handles facing down, except for
knives, and spread them out as much as possible. Ensure
that spoons do not stack inside each other. The cutlery
basket is placed in the lower basket.
WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the
points down in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other
baskets.
Do not place cutlery made of different materials, such as
silver and stainless steel, in the same place (risk of
discolouration).
The cutlery basket has a fold-down section in the middle
for small items, or small shafts, such as electric whisk
attachments.

Add detergent

Detergent is added according to water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
This dishwasher is fitted with a water softener, so use
detergent and rinse aid doses suitable for soft water.
Too much detergent can result in less effective
dishwashing and also entails greater environmental
impact.
Add the detergent to the detergent compartment. There
is one compartment for the prewash and one for the main
wash (see the section Dispenser). If tablets are not used,
add a small amount of the detergent to the prewash
compartment. Contact the detergent manufacturer if you
have any questions about the detergent.
WARNING!
Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent is
corrosive!
NOTE!
Use only dishwasher detergent! Washing up liquid must
not be used as the foam that forms prevents the
dishwasher from operating effectively.
