Loading the dishwasher
Greener dishwashing
• Do not rinse under running water.
Simply scrape off large food particles
before loading the dishwasher.
• Choose an environmentally-friendly
detergent. Read the environmental
declaration on the packaging!
• Do not start the dishwasher until it is
fully loaded to save energy.
• If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you
can select a programme with a low
temperature.
• Better drying results are achieved if you
use the Auto open option, which
automatically opens the dishwasher
door. Wait until the dishwasher
indicates that the programme has
ended and the dishes have cooled
before unloading the dishwasher. (If the
dishwasher is built-in the surrounding
furnishings must be resistant to any
condensation from the dishwasher.)
Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe.
This can be for several reasons. Some
materials cannot withstand strong heat,
others can be damaged by dishwashing
detergent.
Exercise caution with, for example,
handmade items, fragile decoration,
crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin,
aluminium, wood and plastic. Look for the
"Dishwasher safe" marking.
Points to consider
• All dirty surfaces should face inwards
and downwards!
• Dishes should not be placed in or on
each other.
• Angle dishes with hollows, such as
cups, so that the rinse water will run off.
This is also important for plastic items.
• Make sure small items cannot fall
through the dishwasher basket; place
them in the top cutlery tray.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate
freely.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with a top
cutlery tray, an upper basket and a lower
basket.
WARNING!
Be careful with fully loaded dishwasher
baskets. Push the baskets in to avoid
risking the dishwasher tipping over.
Top cutlery tray
The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery,
ladles, whisks, serving cutlery and similar
items.
Upper basket

and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty
