In daily use Loading cutlery and dishes Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other ob- jects that can absorb water must not be washed in the dishwasher.

Loading cutlery Warning: Sharp knives and other items of cut- lery with sharp edges must be laid in the cut- lery rack or in the upper basket because of the risk of injury. To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery bas- ket can be reached by the water, you should: 1.
