Pull out the mains plug (do not tug the power cord!) or switch off the fuse. Turn off the tap. Disposal Make redundant appliances unusable to prevent subsequent accidents. Dispose of the appliance in an environmentally friendly manner. Warning Children could get locked in the appliance (risk of suffocation) or get stuck in other positions.
Water softener Filling the salt dispenser In order to rinse dishes and glasses satisfactorily, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on crockery and glasses, etc. If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e. decalcified, so that it can be used in the dishwasher. This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher.
Adding rinse aid Set Amount of Rinse Aid The amount of rinse aid is set at the factory to 4. Rinse aid is used in the rinsing cycle to ensure clear glasses and stain-free utensils. Open the lid of the rinse-aid dispenser 29 by pressing the button on the rinse-aid lid and lifting up the lid. Pour the rinse-aid into the filler hole until the level indicator turns dark. Close the lid, ensuring that you hear it snap closed. Only change this setting if streaks b or water stains y remain on the dishes.
Utensils Cups and glasses Upper basket 20 Not suitable Cutlery and utensils made of wood. Fragile decorative glasses, hand-crafted and antique utensils. These decorative items are not dishwasher-proof. Plastic parts sensitive to hot water. Copper and tin utensils. Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink. Absorbent materials such as sponges and cloths. Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour and fade during the wash cycle. Even some types of glass (e.g.
Shelf * * not on all models Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf – not against other items to be washed. Long items, serving cutlery, salad servers or knives should be placed on the shelf so that they do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms. The shelf can be folded back when not required for use. Small accessories holder* * some models Light-weight plastic accessories, e.g. cups, lids, etc. can be held securely in the small accessories holder.
Detergent You can use commercially available liquid or powder proprietary detergents for dishwashers or TABS (do not use handwash!). If phosphate-free detergents are used with hard tap water, white deposits may be deposited more easily on utensils and the container walls. This can be remedied by adding more detergent. See detergent packaging to determine whether a detergent is suitable for silver parts.
auto 3in1 The use of so-called combined detergent products may make the use of rinse aid and/or salt unnecessary. There are currently several types of combined detergent products available. 2in1: They contain detergent and rinse aid or salt function. 3in1: They contain detergent, rinse aid and salt function. 4in1: They contain a detergent, rinse-aid, salt function and an additional glass protection component.
