Page: 49 / 144

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you
achieve the best possible dishwashing results.
1
Load the baskets correctly
Do not rinse dishes under running water
before loading them in the dishwasher.
Simply scrape off large food particles
before loading the dishwasher.
See the section Fragile dishes if you want to wash
items that may be considered fragile.
Upper basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers
in the upper basket. Wine glasses are placed on the
wine glass shelf and knives are placed in the knife
stand on the right (if fitted).
NOTE!
All dirty surfaces should face inwards and
downwards!
Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots and
cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket.
Lower the fold-down plate supports when washing
pots.
Cutlery basket
Place cutlery with the handles facing down, except
for knives, and spread them out as much as
possible. Ensure that spoons do not stack inside
each other. The cutlery basket is placed in the lower
basket.
WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed
with the points down in the cutlery basket or
horizontally in other baskets.
Do not place cutlery made of different materials,
such as silver and stainless steel, in the same place
(risk of discolouration).
The cutlery basket has a fold-down section in the
middle for small items, or small shafts, such as
electric whisk attachments.

Check that the spray arms can
rotate freely
3
Add detergent
Detergent is added according to water
hardness.
Follow the instructions on the detergent
packaging. This dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener, so use detergent and rinse aid doses
suitable for soft water.
Too much detergent can result in less effective
dishwashing and also entails greater environmental
impact.
Add the detergent to the detergent compartment.
There is one compartment for the prewash and one
for the main wash (see the section Dispenser). If
tablets are not used, add a small amount of the
detergent to the prewash compartment. Contact the
detergent manufacturer if you have any questions
about the detergent.
WARNING!
Children must be supervised – dishwasher
detergent is corrosive!
