Adding the rinse aid
Rinsing product is necessary as it avoids stains
on the dishes and makes drying easier.
IMPORTANT! Only use products intended
for dishes and NOT detergents intended for
hand washing !
Filling and adjusting the rinsing
product container (Fig. 6 - 7)
Put the door in a horizontal position when filling
the container and unscrew the cap in the door
clockwise.
Fill to just below the to the adjusting lever.
If the product overflows during filling, remove
the excess with a sponge to avoid foam
forming.
If you experience stains or bad drying after
several cycles, you may if necessary adjust the
dosage using the selector:
Soft water : level 1 to reduce the dose
Hard water : level 3 to increase it.
Finding the level of the rinsing
product.
A light on the control band shows you
requirements in rinsing product when the door
is ajar.
In order to obtain good cleaning results, be
sure to remove any large food residues before
switching on the machine. Any burnt or stuck-
on residues must be removed beforehand.

racks for 14 place-settings, or 162 items
(figures 10-11-13), to standard DIN
44990.Always point the inside of the crockery
downwards. Ensure that no item conceals
another and that nothing obstructs the spraying
facility. After switching on, check that the
spraying arms can move freely. No item should
overlap the baskets.
Lower basket
(Fig. 8 - 9 - 10)
Place the dishes so that water may circulate
freely and spray all the utensils. (Avoid
attaching and piling dishes up).
This basket is especially intended to hold:
plates, cutlery, dishes, frying pans, saucepans.
Put large-sized plates and frying pans on
the side.
Avoid mixing plates and soup dishes. You
should preferably place same-sized plates
together. Place soup dishes at the back, in
the high pin area.
Make sure nothing obstructs the rotation of
the lifting arm (saucepan handles, cutlery or
large dishes).
The baskets in the bottom rack fold away
(fig. 9B) to take large dishes.
The cutlery trays slide and can be put
anywhere on the lower basket. You can adjust
them according to the dishes you wash.
Removable grids are available if you wish to
load cutlery in an orderly fashion.
For optimum washing, you can use these
separation grids.
Cutlery : (Fig. 13)
• Place handles downwards.
• Separate silverware from other metals using
the separating grill.
• It is preferable to place small spoons in the
separating grills.

safety, we recommend you place sharp-
ended table knives blade down in the
cutlery basket.
