Not suitable for the dishwasher 
The following should not be cleaned in the dishwasher:
Wooden cutlery and utensils – these will leach out and become unsightly; even the utilised stickers are not suitable for the temperatures which 
occur.
Sensitive ornamental glasses, craft utensil and vases, special antique or irretrievable utensils. These ornaments 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. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy after many wash cycles. Recommendation: In future buy utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof. Damage to glassware and other dishes 
Possible causes:
type of glass or manufacturing process
chemical composition of detergent
water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme.
Suggested remedy:
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that 
have been marked ’dishwasher–proof’ 
by the manufacturer.
Use a mild detergent that is described 
as ’kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers.
Select a programme with as low a temperature and as short a duration as possible.
To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme has ended.

12 Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher
Loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of left-over food. It is not necessary to 
rinse the dishes under running water.
Place objects in the dishwasher in such a way that  items such as cups, glasses,pots/pans, etc. are stood upside down,
 curved items, or those with recesses, should be at a slant so 
that water can run off,
 they are stacked securely and
cannot tip over,
 they do not prevent the spray arms from rotating while washing takes place.
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the baskets.
Removing the dishes 
To prevent water dripping from the top basket onto the dishes in the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first and then the top basket. Cups and glasses Upper basket

Cutlery Cutlery should be placed in the dishwasher always unsorted and with the eating surface pointing downwards. The spray jet is then better able to reach the individual parts. 
To prevent injuries, place long, pointed accessories and knives on the étagère (some models) or on the knife shelf (available as an accessory). 
Folding spikes * 
* on applicable models 
To improve stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can be folded down.
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.

Top basket with upper and lower roller pairs
Pull out the top basket.
Remove the top basket and re-attach it to the upper or lower rollers.
Top basket with side levers (Rackmatic)
Pull out the top basket.
To lower the basket, press in succession the two levers on the left and right sides of the basket. Alwaystake hold of the side of the basket on the upper edge, otherwise the basket will not drop smoothly (and may damage the utensils).
To raise the basket, take hold of the basket on the upper edge and pull upwards.
Before you re-insert the basket, ensure that it is at the same height on both sides. Otherwise, the appliance door cannot be closed and the upper spray arm will not connect to the water circuit.

Baking sheet spray head * 
* some models 
You can clean large baking sheets or grilles with the baking sheet spray head. 
To do this, remove the top basket andinsert the spray head as illustrated in the diagram.
To ensure that the spray jet can reach all parts, arrange the baking sheets as illustrated (max. 4 baking sheets and 2 grilles).
Note
Never operate the dishwasher without the top basket or baking sheet spray head! Detergents
Notes on detergents 
You may use any brand of liquid or powder detergent, as well as tablets, that have been specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers (do not use normal washing-up liquid!). Nowadays there are three types of dishwasher detergent available: 1.  Those containing phosphates       and chlorine. 2.  Those containing phosphates       but no chlorine. 3.  Those containing neither phosphates       nor chlorine. When a phosphate-free detergent is used 
in conjunction with hard water, there is a greater possibility that white marks willbe left behind on the dishes and glasses, etc. These can be prevented by pouring an increased amount of detergent into the 
dispenser. Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced 
bleaching effect. This may mean that tea stains are not completely removed or plastic items become discoloured. This can be resolved by: 
– using the “Auto Super Wash”     programme – increasing the amount of detergent – using a detergent that contains chloride Check the label on the packaging to determine whether a particular product is suitable for use with silverware. If you have any further questions, we recommend that you contact the customer advice departments of the respective 
detergent manufacturer.

Detergent dispenser with dosing aid 
The graduated detergent dispenser helps you add the correct amount of detergent. The lower and middle lines in the dispenser indicate15 ml and 25 ml of 
detergent respectively. The dispenser can be filled with 40 ml of detergent when the 
door is opened horizontally. 
Filling with detergent 
You can add detergent either when the appliance door is completely open or – for a more comfortable posture – when the door is half open.
If the detergent dispenser is still closed, open it by pressing the catch 
.
When the door is half open, press the button on the right side of the detergent 
dispenser. Swivel up the detergent 
compartment and cover. The detergent compartment can easily be locked into 
position by lifting it slightly.
Pour detergent into the dispenser.
Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the detergent packet for correct dosage.
Important
Due to the different solvency properties of the detergent tablets supplied by various 
manufacturers, the cleaning efficiency of the detergent may not be fully utilised by short programmes. It is recommended to use washing powder for these programmes. For the “Auto Super Wash” function, pour an additional 10–15 ml of detergent onto the inside of the 
appliance door.
Reduce costs! If your dishes are only 
moderately dirty, you may be able to use less detergent thanrecommended.
If using washing tablets, please refer to the washing tablets box where to place the tablets in the appliance (e.g. in the cutlery basket, detergent dispenser).
Close the detergent dispenser. Slide the dispenser cover completely over the detergent compartment (1) and thenpress down firmly (2) until the catch “clicks” into position.
      
						

							en17
Close the detergent dispenser when the door is completely open.
Close the detergent dispenser when the door is half open.
During the washing cycle the cover of the detergent dispenser is automatically opened and the detergent is washed out. The cover is therefore open when the programme ends. auto 3in1
The use of so-called combined detergentproducts may make the use of rinse aid 
and/or salt unnecessary. There are currently several types of combined detergent products available.
3in1:  They contain detergent, rinse aid
and  salt function.
2in1:  They contain detergent and rinse
aid  or salt function.
>>>  Always check the type of detergent
or combined product which you are using!
Always follow the operating instructions
or the information on the packaging. The rinse programme is automatically adjusted in order to obtain the best possible rinsing and drying result. Observe the following important information if using combined cleaning products:
Regeneration salt is not required up to a water hardness of 21  dH (37  fH,
26  Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. No other
settings on the appliance are required.
Salt is still required if the water hardness is  above 21 dH (37  fH,
26 Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). Fill the salt
dispenser with salt 
25  and select
setting 6 on the water softening system.
If in doubt, please contact the detergent 
manufacturer, especially if:
the utensils are very wet at the end 
of the programme.
