9.4 Before starting a
programme
Before you start the selected
programme, make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly
installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid
(unless you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the
baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type
of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
9.5 Loading the baskets
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• Use the appliance to wash
dishwasher-safe items only.
• Do not wash the following materials in
the dishwasher: wood, horn, pewter,
copper, aluminium, delicate
ornamented porcelain and
unprotected carbon steel. This can
cause them to crack, warp, discolour,
pit or rust.
• Do not wash in the appliance items
that can absorb water (sponges,
household cloths).
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening facing
downwards.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch
each other.
• Put light or plastic items in the upper
basket. Make sure that the items do
not move freely.
• Put cutlery and small items in the
cutlery basket.
• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a
programme.
9.6 Unloading the baskets
1. Let the tableware cool down before
you remove it from the appliance. Hot
items can be easily damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower
basket, then from the upper basket.
After the programme is
completed, water can still
remain on the inside
surfaces of the appliance.
