Dishwasher safe cutlery/dishes

• To avoid damage, glasses should not touch.

Not dishwasher safe:

- Cutlery with wooden, horn, porcelain or mother-of-pearl handles. - Plastic items that are not heat resistant. - Older cutlery with glued parts that do not withstand high temperatures. - Glued dishes or cutlery. - Items in pewter or copper. - Crystal glasses. - Steel items prone to rusting. - Wooden platters. - Items made from synthetic fibres.

• The top rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishes, such as glasses and coffee and tea cups.

Dishwasher safe to a limited extent:

- Some types of glass can become dull after many washes. - Silver and aluminium objects tend to discolour during washing. - Varnished patterns may fade if they are frequently machine washed. Recommendations for loading the dishwasher • Remove any large food scraps. Soften the remains of burnt food on cooking utensils. • It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. • To optimise the performance of your dishwasher, follow these loading tips. (The characteristics and appearance of the dish and cutlery racks may vary according to the model.) Place items in the dishwasher as follows: • Objects such as cups, glasses, cooking utensils, etc. should face downwards. • Curved or recessed objects should be loaded at an angle so that the water can drain away. • All utensils should be well stowed so that they do not tip over.

• Long-bladed knives stored vertically are a potential hazard!

• Long and/or sharp cutlery, such as carving knives, should be placed horizontally in the top rack. • Do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and reasonable energy consumption.

NOTE : Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the rack.

Unloading dishes To avoid water dripping from the top rack onto the bottom rack, we recommend emptying the bottom rack first and then the top rack.

WARNING : Dishes will be hot! To avoid damage, wait about 15 minutes after the end of the programme before removing glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher.

Loading the top rack • The top rack is designed to store more delicate and lighter dishes, such as glasses, saucers, coffee or tea cups, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow dishes (provided they are not too soiled). • Position dishes and cooking utensils so that they cannot be moved by the water jet.

• All utensils should be placed so that the wash arms can rotate freely during the wash.

• Load hollow objects, such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening facing downwards, so that water cannot collect there. • Dishes and cutlery should not be nested or overlapping.

EN Loading the bottom rack

• We suggest that you place large items and hard-to-clean items in the lower basket: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and salad bowls, as shown in the diagram below.

EN B Using the appliance

• It is best to place serving dishes and lids to the side of the dish racks to avoid blocking the rotation of the upper wash arm.

• The maximum recommended diameter for plates placed in front of the detergent compartment is 19 cm, so as not to obstruct the opening.

Loading the cutlery compartment

• The cutlery must be placed in the cutlery compartment by separating them and positioning them in the correct direction. • Make sure that the utensils are not nested, as this may affect the performance of your appliance.

WARNING : Do not allow cutlery to protrude from the bottom of the rack. Always place sharp utensils with the point downwards!

NOTE : For optimal washing, please load the racks according to the standard loading recommendations. Functioning of rinse aid and detergent • The rinse aid is released during the last rinse to prevent the water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave marks and stains. • It also improves drying by allowing water to run off the dishes. • Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse agents.

B Using the appliance

WARNING : Always use a branded rinse aid for your dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid compartment with any other substance (such as dishwasher cleaner or liquid detergent). This will damage your appliance.

When should the rinse aid compartment be refilled? The frequency with which the rinse aid compartment should be filled depends on the frequency of dishwashing and the rinse aid setting used. • The rinse aid indicator (

) lights up when a refill is required.

• Avoid overfilling the rinse aid compartment.

Fonctioning of detergent • The chemical components of detergent are needed to remove the dirt, crush it and remove it from the dishwasher. • Most commercial-grade detergents are suitable for this purpose.

WARNING : Correct use of detergent

• Only use detergents specifically designed for use in a dishwasher. Store your detergent in a cool, dry place. • Only place powdered detergent in the compartment when you are ready to start the dishwasher. Dishwasher detergent is corrosive!
