LOADING THE DISHWASHER
ECONOMIC DISHWASHING
Run programs only with a full load
Wait to run a program until the dishwasher is full. This way you
save energy. Use the Rinse & Hold program to rinse the dishes if
there are any unpleasant odours while you wait for the dishwasher
to become fully loaded.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with
a low temperature.
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the
dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Connect to cold water...
If you use oil or electricity to heat your home.
Connect to hot water (max. 70 °C)...
If you use district heating, solar power or geothermal power to
heat your home. Choosing a hot water connection cuts program
times and reduces the dishwasher's electricity consumption.
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.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel
rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Position items so that they do not touch each other during the
wash. Use the lowest possible wash temperature and the shortest
possible program. Antique and very fragile items should not be
washed in a dishwasher.
Glass washed in a dishwasher at high temperatures can gradually
develop a grey film that cannot be removed. Wash fragile glasses
at a low temperature and with a small amount of detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as
the silver can become discoloured.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the
handles may loosen.
Wood
Wooden items should only be washed in a dishwasher if marked
dishwasher safe.
Aluminium
Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However,
good quality aluminium pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even
if some of the shine will be lost.
Plastic items
Avoid washing plastic items that cannot withstand high
temperatures.
UPPER BASKET
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper
basket. Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives
are placed in the knife stand on the right (if fitted).
NOTE!
All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!
Raising the upper basket
1 Pull out the upper basket.
2 Grab the sides of the upper basket with both hands and lift it
up.
