Operating Instructions
Loading the Dishwasher Baskets
Recommendations:
•
Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
•
Use a mild detergent that is described as 'kind to dishes'. If necessary, seek further information from
the detergent manufacturers.
•
For particular items, select a program with as low temperature as possible.
•
To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the
program has ended.
Suitability for use in the dishwasher:
Not suitable for use
•
Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-
pearl handles.
•
Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
•
Older cutlery with glued parts that are not
temperature resistant.
•
Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
•
Pewter or copper items.
•
Crystal glass.
•
Steel items subject to rusting.
•
Wooden platters.
• Items made from synthetic fibres
Limited suitability

Some types of glasses can become dull after a
large number of washes.
•
Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing.
•
Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
Attention before or after loading the Dishwasher Baskets
(For the best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of
baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.)
Scrape off any large food particles. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the
dishes under running water.
Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:
1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
2. Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
3. All utensils are stacked securely and cannot tip over.
4. All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
NOTE: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could fall out of the basket.
•
Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing downwards so that
water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
•
Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other. To avoid damage
to glasses, they must not be touched.
•
Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket.
•
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee
and tea cups.
•
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
•
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the
upper basket.
•
Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable
consumption of energy.
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the
lower basket first and then the upper basket.

Operating Instructions
Loading Normal Dishware
Loading the Upper Basket
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate
and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea
cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls
and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that they will
not get moved by the spray of water.
Please be reminded that:
•
Pots, serving bowls, etc, must always be placed
top down.
•
Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to
flow out.
•
The Bottom Basket features folding spikes so
that larger or more pots and pans can be
loaded.
Loading the Lower Basket
We suggest that you place large items and the most
difficult to clean items are to be placed into the lower
basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and
bowls, as shown in the figure below. It is preferable
to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the
racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the
top spray arm.
Adjusting the Upper Basket
The height of the upper basket can be adjusted in
order to create more space for large utensils both for
the upper/lower basket. The height of the upper
basket can be adjusted by lifting up the basket for
the upper position and pull the handle to lower the
upper basket. See the image below:
Folding Back the Cup Shelves
For better stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can
be folded down as show in the picture right.
Folding Spikes of Lower Basket
For better stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can
be folded down.
