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,

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

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 20
* not included with all models
Pots and pans
Lower basket 28

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 ‡tagŠre
(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.
Adjusting position of basket *
* not on all models

If required, the height of the top basket can
be adjusted in order to create more space
for large utensils either in the top or bottom
basket.
Select one of the two following procedures
according to the design of the top basket
for your appliance model:
 
						

							en
14
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. Always
take 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.

15
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 and
insert 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 will
be 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 ªAuto Super Washº 
   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 manufacturers
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 ªAuto Super Washº 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 than
recommended.
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 then
press down firmly (2) until the catch

a water hardness of 21
 dH (37
 fH,
26
 Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. No other
settings on the appliance are required.
