Disposing of packaging and old machine Disposing of the packaging Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we always confine ourselves to what is absolutely necessary. Warning! Packaging parts (e.g. foils, styrene foam) may be dangerous for children, who could even be suffocated! You should therefore keep all packaging well away from children. All packaging materials used are environmentally compatible and reusable. The cardboard parts are produced from recycled

Important hints Operating your dishwasher economically and with regard for the environment Collect your dirty dishes, stack them in the dishwasher, and only wash them when both baskets are full, making sure that the latter are never overloaded. Only then can you be sure that you are machine-washing economically and with regard for the environment.

The packaging of dishwasher salt and detergents are often very similar. The accidental filling of the salt compartment with detergent would ruin the water softener. Each time you add salt, make sure the carton you have in your hand really is salt. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in dishwasher, specially table salt, will damage the water softener. Caution: Only fill salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes (not the Rinse and Hold programme). This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which could cause corrosion. Salt refill indicat

Adding dishwashing detergent Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes, except for the rinse and hold programme, load the detergent in the dispenser. To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D). This will open it.

At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash. Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution. Phosphate free detergents with enzymes In these low

Loading your machine Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any large scraps of food from the plates (small bones, toothpicks, fish bones, scraps of meat and vegetables, fruit skins etc.) to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing performance. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down. Tilt items with convex or conc

Cutlery basket Place knives, forks and spoons in the cutlery basket with their handles pointing downwards. Arrange cutlery loosely and distribute it in all compartments so that each individual article has good contact with washing water. Also do not arrange spoons and forks with their dirty side in contact with each other. For better cleaning results, we recommend that spoons should be intermingled with other cutlery items so that they do not nestle into one another. Important! Exceptionally lon
