Note Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to rinse items under running water. ,Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. These substances will damage the dishwasher. Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed: – Do not place crockery and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be concealed. – Load the crockery so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that they get properly cleaned. – Make sure that all items are securely positioned. – Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket. – Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g. champagne glasses, should be placed in the centre of the basket to ensure better water coverage.–Wide based items should be placed at an angle so that water can run off them freely. –The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets. If in doubt, test for free movement by manually rotating the spray arms. –Make sure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the baskets. Small items, e.g. lids, should therefore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket (depending on model). Some foodstuffs may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolour if large quantities of these foodstuffs find their way into the appliance on the crockery. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration. Loading the dishwasher 23
Items not suitable for dishwashers: –Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts: these may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher. –Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware are also not suitable for dishwashers. –Plastic items which are not heat resistant: the high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape. – Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items may discolour or become matt. – Colours painted over a glaze may fade after a number of washes. – Clouding may occur on glasses after frequent washing. Do not wash delicate glassware, or glassware containing lead crystal in a dishwasher.We recommend: –When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher-proof. –If delicate glassware is washed in the dishwasher ensure that only very low temperatures are used (see programme chart), or a special glass-care programme is used (depending on model). This will reduce the risk of clouding. –If in doubt, wash delicate glassware by hand. Please note Silverwarepreviously cleaned with a silver polishmay still be damp or spotted at the end of a programme, where water has not run off smoothly. It may need to be rubbed dry with a soft cloth. Silver which has been in contact with foods containing sulphur can discolour. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, pulses, fish, fish brine and marinades. ,Aluminium components (e.g. grease filters) must not be cleaned with caustic alkaline commercial or industrial cleaning agents. These may damage the material, or in extreme cases, cause a severe chemical reaction. See section Adding detergent for information on suitable detergents. Loading the dishwasher 24
Upper basket ,For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place. ^Use the upper basket for small, lightweight and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc. Shallow pans or casserole dishes can also be placed in the upper basket. ^ Long items such as soup ladles, mixing spoons and long knives should be placed lying down across the front of the upper basket.Hinged cup rack ^To make room for tall items, raise the rack upwards. Positioning rail(depending on model) Glasses can be arranged along the positioning rail to give them some support during the programme. ^Raise the rail, and lean the glasses against it. The positioning rail can be flipped over to the middle of the basket for easy sorting and removing of crockery. Loading the dishwasher 25
Universal support(depending on model) This support is designed to hold tall glasses and glasses with stems securely. ^Lower the support and lean tall glasses against it. Loading the dishwasher 26
Adjusting the upper basket In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the bottom or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on three levels with 2 cm between each level. The upper basket can also be set at an angle with one side high and the other side low. This can be useful to help prevent water collecting in deep dishes etc. Ensure, however, that the basket can be inserted smoothly into the cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket before loading it. ^Pull out the upper basket. To raise the upper basket: ^ Pull the basket up until it clicks into place. To lower the upper basket: ^ Pull upwards on the levers at either side of the upper basket. ^ Adjust the basket to the desired height and then push the levers securely back down into position.Depending on the setting of the upper basket, the following plate dimensions can be accommodated.

Do not place delicate glassware in the lower basket. Dishwashers with cutlery tray Dishwashers with cutlery basketHinged spikes The spikes are used for washing plates and saucers.

Removable spiked insert You can remove the spiked insert to make more room for larger items of crockery, e.g. a large, flat pot, or another type of insert. To remove the inserta ^Pull it upwards by the handle as shown. To replace the insertb ^ Fit the insert into the lower basket with the hooks going under the long cross-piece as illustrated. ^ Press down on the handle until the insert is held securely in position.Bottle holder(depending on model) The bottle holder can be used to wash narrow items, e.g. milk and baby bottles. ^Place the bottle holder in the position shown in the bottom basket. If placed anywhere else, water will not be able to access the bottle properly, and cleaning results will be impaired. Loading the dishwasher 29
Cutlery Cutlery tray(depending on model) ^Arrange the cutlery in the tray as shown. To make unloading much easier, cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc. Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off them freely. The upper spray arm must not be blocked by items which are too big (e.g. cake slices).If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, then lay them the other way round. Loading the dishwasher 30
