We hope that you will have many years of use from your new machine. To get the most out of your new dishwasher, we recommend that you read the operating instructions before using the dishwasher.
Safety instructions • Read the operating instructions and keep them in a safe place! • Number of standard place settings: 14 • Never use the dishwasher for any purpose other than that specified in these operating instructions. • Do not load the dishwasher door or dishwasher baskets with anything other than dishes. • Never leave the dishwasher door open as someone may trip on it.
Before washing for the first time 1. Checking water hardness 2. Basic settings In order to achieve good dishwashing results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water with low mineral content). Hard water leaves a white coating on dishes and the dishwasher. To switch on the dishwasher, press and hold the main power switch until the display lights up. Water hardness is specified using the following scales: The German water hardness scale (°dH) and the French water hardness scale (°fH).
3. Top up with rinse aid 4. Top up with salt Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid. You will also achieve a better dishwashing result with clear and spotless dishes. Before you begin using a dishwasher with a water softener, you must fill the salt compartment with salt for the water supply to be softened automatically. Use large grain salt or special dishwasher salt.
Loading the dishwasher Energy-efficient dishwashing Fragile dishes Run programmes only with a full load Wait to run a programme until the dishwasher is full, this way you save energy. Use the Rinse and hold programme to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odours while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded. 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.
The dishwasher's baskets The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an upper basket and a lower basket with a cutlery basket. The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher setup. Top cutlery tray The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks, serving cutlery and similar items. 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. Lowering the upper basket 1 Pull out the upper basket.
Cutlery basket with lid Washing large plates Move foldable tines and their mounts to widen the distance between the tine rows to adapt the lower basket to plates with a diameter greater than 25 cm. Cutlery basket Place cutlery with the handles facing down, except for knives, and spread them out as much as possible. Ensure that spoons do not stack inside each other.
