Select one of the two following procedures according to the design of the top basket for your appliance model: 
Top basket with side levers
(Rackmatic)
Pull  out the top basket 21.
To  lower  the basket, press in the left
and then the right lever on the outside of the basket. In doing so, hold the sides of the basket along the upperedge to prevent it from suddenly dropping.
   
						

							en13
To  raise  the basket, hold the basket on
the sides of the upper edge and lift it up.
Before re-inserting the basket again, ensure that it is at the same height onboth sides. Otherwise, the appliance door cannot be closed and the upper spray arm will not be connected to the water circuit.
Top  basket with upper
and lower roller pairs
Pull  out the top basket.
Remove the upper basket and re-attach it to the upper (stage 3) or lower(stage 1) rollers.
Detergent
Y ou can use tablets as well as powder
or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing up liquid. T ablets
contain not only detergent but alsorinse-aid and salt (3in1) and, depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.), additional components such as glassprotection or stainless steel cleaner .
If tablets contain rinse-aid and salt, it isusually not necessary to add additional rinse-aid and salt up to a specific degree of hardness. If the degree of hardness is higher and if using solo detergents (powder or liquid detergents or tabletswithout rinse-aid and salt) rinse-aid and salt must be added. The appliance doses these automatically according to the preset values for water hardness and amount of rinse-aid. As soon as combined detergent products are used, the rinse programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible rinsing and drying result. 
TipFollow the instructions for use or the instructions on the detergent packaging to ensure that rinse-aid and salt are used 
effectively. If you have further questions, we recom- mend that you contact the detergent manufacturers helpline. Detergent  dispenser
with dosing aid The  graduated detergent dispenser 
31
helps you add the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent: lower line: 15 ml
middle line: 25 ml
full: 50 ml
  
						

							en
14
Adding
 detergent
Pour detergent into the dispenser 31
(insert tablet flat, not on its edge).  Dosage: see manufacturer s
instructions on the packaging.
Close the cover on the detergent dispenser by sliding it up until the lock engages without dif ficulty.
The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the optimum time depending on the programme. The powder or liquid detergentis distributed in the appliance and is dissolved, the tablet falls into the tablet collecting tray where it dissolves in doses.
Tip If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate.
Warnings
Do  not place small parts for washing
in the tablet collecting tray 
23 ; this
prevents the tablet from dissolving 
evenly.
If you want to add more utensils after the programme has started, do  not
use the tablet collecting tray 
23
as a handle for the upper basket. The tablet could already be there and you will touch the partially dissolvedtablet.
Note
Y ou will obtain optimum rinsing and
drying results by using solo detergents and applying salt and rinse-aid 
separately.  
f programmes are short, tablets may not have full cleaning ef fect due to different
dissolving properties and there may even be undissolved detergent residue. It is recommended to use washingpowder for these programmes.
The Intensive programme (on some models) requires one tab only . When
using washing powder , you can apply
some of this cleaning agent to theinside of the appliance s door.
Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit, the rinse programme will run correctly if combined detergents are used (when using combineddetergents, add rinse-aid at a water hardness above 21  dH ± see chapter
entitled ªRinse-aidº).
If you switch from combined detergents to solo detergents, ensure that thewater softening system and amount of rinse-aid have been set to the correct value.
