Cause

Recommendation

The water temperat-
ure of the programme
is too high.

Select a programme
with lower temperat-
ures.
After the programme
has ended, take glass-
ware and cutlery out
of the appliance
without delay.

Arrange tableware

Arrange the tableware correctly to
optimise the dishwashing result and
prevent damage to both the appli-
ance and tableware.

Tips

¡

Using the appliance allows you to
save energy and water compared
to washing-up by hand.

¡

See our website for examples of
how to load your appliance effi-
ciently, free of charge.

¡

To save energy and water, load
the machine with the number of
place settings specified.

"Technical specifications",

Page 56

¡

For better washing and drying res-
ults, position items with curves or
recesses at an angle so the water
can run off.

1.

Remove large remnants of food
from your tableware.

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.
