Top basket with side levers (Rackmatic)
Pull out the top basket
21
.
To lower the basket, press in the left and then the
right lever on the outside of the basket. In doing so,
hold the sides of the basket along the upper edge to
prevent it from suddenly dropping.
To raise the basket, hold the basket on the sides of
the upper edge and lift it up.
Before re-inserting the basket again, ensure that it is
at the same height on both sides. Otherwise, the
appliance door cannot be closed and the upper
spray arm will not be connected to the water circuit.
Top basket with upper and lower roller pairs
Pull out the top basket.
Remove the upper basket and re-attach it to the
upper (stage 3) or lower (stage 1) rollers.
Detergent
You can use tablets as well as powder or liquid
detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing up
liquid. Tablets contain not only detergent but also
rinse-aid and salt (3in1) and, depending on the
combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.), additional components
such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner.
If tablets contain rinse-aid and salt, it is usually not
necessary to add additional rinse-aid and salt up to a
specific degree of hardness. If the degree of hardness
is higher and if using solo detergents (powder or liquid
detergents or tablets without rinse-aid and salt)
rinse-aid and salt must be added. The appliance doses
these automatically according to the preset values for
water hardness and amount of rinse-aid.
As soon as combined detergent products are used,
the rinse programme is adjusted automatically
to ensure the best possible rinsing and drying
result.
Tip
Follow the instructions for use or the instructions on the
detergent packaging to ensure that rinse-aid and salt
are used effectively.
If you have further questions, we recom- mend that you
contact the detergent manufacturers’ helpline.
Detergent dispenser with dosing aid
The graduated detergent dispenser
31
helps you add
the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent:
lower line:
15 ml
middle line: 25 ml
full: 50 ml
Adding detergent
Pour detergent into the dispenser
31
(insert tablet
flat, not on its edge).
Dosage: see manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
Close the cover on the detergent dispenser by
sliding it up until the lock engages without difficulty.
The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the
optimum time depending on the programme.
The powder or liquid detergent is distributed in the
appliance and is dissolved, the tablet falls into the
tablet collecting tray where it dissolves in doses.
Tip
If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than
the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate.
