Loading
For best performance of your dishwasher, follow the loading guidelines in this manual.
ATTENTION:
It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water before you put them into the
dishwasher. However, we recommend you scrape off any large amounts of leftover food
and soften remnants of burnt food in pots and pans.
Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:
• Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. should be placed upside down
so water cannot collect in the container or in a deep base.
• Curved items, or items with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so water can run off.
• All utensils should be stacked securely so they cannot tip over.
• All dishes and utensils should be placed in a way so the spray arms can rotate freely
during washing.
• Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out
of the baskets and obstruct moving parts.
• Dishes and items of cutlery should not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
•
WARNING!
• Do not overload your dishwasher; it will hold a maximum of 14 standard place settings.
This is important for better washing results and lowers energy consumption.

Protecting your glass and tableware
Much of today's tableware is dishwasher safe. However, not everything can be washed
safely in a dishwasher. The chemical composition of your dishwasher detergent or the
water temperature and duration of the wash program may adversely affect some materi-
als. To protect your special cutlery, glass and tableware from damage, select a wash
program with as low a temperature as possible (see pages 14–15 for program details).
We recommend you do not wash in a dishwasher the items listed below, and take special
care with items deemed of limited suitability. And when buying new dishes, glassware,
porcelain or cutlery, look for products labelled dishwasher safe.
Not suitable for the dishwasher: cutlery with wooden, china or mother-of-pearl
handles; plastic items that are not heat resistant; older cutlery with glued parts that are
not temperature resistant; bonded cutlery items or dishes; pewter or copper items; lead
crystal glass; steel items subject to corrosion (rusting); wooden platters, cigarette ashes,
candle leftovers, polish, paint, chemical substances, iron-alloy materials, glued items,
items soiled with abrasive, acidic or base chemicals, temperature-sensitive plastics,
copper or tin-coated containers, aluminium and silver objects, some delicate glasses,
ornamental printed porcelains; some crystal items, adhered cutlery, lead crystal glasses,
cutting boards, synthetic fibre items, absorbent items such as sponges or kitchen rugs.

Before loading the dishwasher baskets:
Long bladed knives stored upright are a potential hazard! Always position
these and other sharp cutlery items horizontally on the cup/cutlery racks.
Do not pull out the upper and lower basket at the same time, which can
lead to the appliance tipping forward.
