To save resources, do not pre-
rinse tableware under running wa-
ter.

2.

Observe the following when arran-
ging tableware:
– Put heavily soiled tableware in

the bottom basket, e.g. pans.
The more powerful the spray jet,
the better the dishwashing result
will be.

– To prevent damage to table-

ware, arrange it so it is stable
and cannot tip over.

– To prevent injury, arrange cut-

lery with the points and sharp
edges downwards.

– Position containers with the

openings facing down so no wa-
ter can collect in them.

– Do not block the spray arms -

make sure that they can turn
freely.

– Do not place small parts in the

tablet collecting tray and do not
block it with tableware so as not
to obstruct the lid of the deter-
gent dispenser.

Removing tableware

WARNING

Risk of injury!

Hot tableware can cause burns to the
skin. When hot, tableware is sensitive
to shock, may crack and can result in
injury.

When the programme has ended,
do not empty the appliance until
the tableware has cooled down for
a while.

1.

To prevent water dripping on the
tableware, unload it starting at the
bottom and working up.

2.

Check the washing tank and ac-
cessories for soiling and clean if
necessary.
