Unloading the dishwasher 
To prevent water from dripping off the  
upper basket onto the utensils in the  
lower basket, it is recommended  
to empty the appliance from the bottom 
up. 
Hot utensils are sensitive to shock!  
Therefore, when the programme ends,  
leave the utensils to cool down in the  
dishwasher until they can be handled. 
Note 
When the programme ends, water  
droplets can still be seen inside  
the appliance. This does not affect  
the drying of the utensils.

You can use tablets as well as powder  
or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but  
never use washing up liquid.  
The dosage can be individually adjusted  
with powder or a liquid detergent  
according to the degree of soiling.  
Tablets contain an adequately large  
amount of active ingredients  
for all cleaning tasks. Modern, powerful  
detergents predominantly use a low- 
alkaline formulation with phosphate  
and enzymes. Phosphates bond
