(unless you use multi-tablets).

of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
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.

you remove it from the appliance. Hot
items can be easily damaged.

basket, then from the upper basket.
After the programme is
completed, water can still
remain on the inside surfaces
of the appliance.
