Loading the dishwasher
Energy-efficient dishwashing
• Do not start the dishwasher until it is
fully loaded to save energy.
• Do not rinse under running water.
Simply scrape off large food particles
before loading the dishwasher.
• Choose an environmentally-friendly
detergent. Read the environmental
declaration on the packaging!
• If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you
can select a programme with a low
temperature.
• Better drying results are achieved if you
use the Auto open option, which
automatically opens the dishwasher
door. Wait until the dishwasher
indicates that the programme has
ended and the dishes have cooled
before unloading the dishwasher. (If the
dishwasher is built-in the surrounding
furnishings must be resistant to any
condensation from the dishwasher.)
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe.
This can be for several reasons. Some
materials cannot withstand strong heat,
others can be damaged by dishwashing
detergent.
Exercise caution with, for example,
handmade items, fragile decoration,
crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin,
aluminium, wood and plastic. Look for the
"Dishwasher safe" marking.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with an upper
basket and a lower basket with a cutlery
basket.

Upper basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates
and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty
surfaces should face inwards and
downwards! Wine glasses are placed on
the wine glass shelf and knives are placed
in the knife stand on the right (if fitted).
Raising and lowering the upper basket
1 Pull out the upper basket.
2 Grab the sides of the upper basket with
both hands and lift it up.
3 Repeatedly lift the basket with both
hands to change its position. (The
upper basket can be set in three
positions.) When the upper basket is in
the highest position lifting it will return
it to the lowest position. Note that both
sides of the basket must always be set
to the same height.
