Loading the Dishwasher

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food
particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which results
in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to
remove, we recommend that they are soaked before washed. This
will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.
How to use the lower rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on
the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as
shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the
racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
- The lower rack features fold down tine rows (see fig.A) so that
larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.
- The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.B) so that only
one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This
also makes space for additional pots and pans and it can also be
placed in the upper rack.
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the
handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons
should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Espe-
cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at
the front of the upper rack.
How to use the upper rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small bowls
and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved
by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs lo-
cated on both sides of the rack itself (see fig.C).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more
space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in the bottom
basket.
Shelf
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-not
against other items to be washed.
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup rack.
The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as required (see
fig.D).
Knife rack
The knife rack clips onto the side of the top basket, giving you the
freedom to wash your large sharp knives separately and out of
harm's way (see fig.E).

Turning on the Appliance

Starting a wash cycle

Dishwasher" on page 5).
- Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled, "Salt, Detergent
and Rinse Aid" on page 3 and 4).

clockwise direction until the number or symbol for the cycle set-
ting is aligned with the reference mark (see the section entitled,
"Wash Cycle Table" on page 8).

dard daily cycle.
1/2 load Button
This button (see "close-up View - Control Panel" on page 1, let-

Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid
handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more
susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.
Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting
A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it has been
running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have al-
ready been used, and the appliance may have already drained
the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must
be refilled (see the paragraph entitled, "Loading the Detergent"
on page 4).
Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON light will turn off. Rotate
the knob in clockwise direction to the desired cycle setting (see
the section entitled: Starting a wash cycle ?F. Then, turn the
dishwasher back on using the ON-OFF button.
It can be used before setting any of the wash cycles, except for
the intensive cycles (if included in the wash cycle table ). Please
keep in mind that the amount of detergent should also be cut in
half.
Rapid
This button (see "close-up View - Control Panel" on page 1, letter
"I" ) , when pressed with wash cycle 4 (glassware) make it pos-
sible to run the wash cycle at a lower temperature
(50 ) and eliminates the drying phase.
