LOADING THE DISHWASHER
ECONOMIC DISHWASHING
Run programmes only with a full load
Wait to run a programme until the dishwasher is
full, this way you save energy. Use the Rinse &
Hold programme to rinse the dishes if there are
any unpleasant odours while you wait for the
dishwasher to become fully loaded.
Run programmes at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select
a lower temperature with certain programmes.
See also the section Selecting Options in the
chapter Using the dishwasher.
Select a programme with the option Short dry
To save energy, use Short dry. The drying result
will be better if, once the programme is finished,
you leave the door slightly open.
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before
loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the
packaging!
Connect to cold water...
If you use oil or electricity to heat your home.
Connect to hot water (max. 70 °C)...
If you use district heating, solar power or
geothermal power to heat your home. Choosing
a hot water connection cuts programme times
and reduces the dishwasher's electricity
consumption.
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.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing
(the items feel rough) should not be washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Place items so that they do not touch each other
during the wash. Use a short programme with the
lowest possible wash temperature. Select Short
dry. Antique and very fragile items should not be
washed in a dishwasher.
Glass washed in a dishwasher at high temperatures
can gradually develop a grey film that cannot be
removed. Wash fine glassware at a low
temperature and with a small amount of
detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come
into contact, as the silver can become discoloured.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In
such cases, the handles may loosen.
Wood
Wooden items should only be washed in a
dishwasher if marked dishwasher safe.
Aluminium
Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a
dishwasher. However, good quality aluminium
pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some
of the shine will be lost.
Plastic items
Avoid washing plastic items that cannot withstand
high temperatures.
THE DISHWASHER'S BASKETS
The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery
tray, an upper basket and a lower basket with
cutlery basket.
The appearance of the baskets may differ
depending on the dishwasher setup.
TOP CUTLERY TRAY
The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles,
whisks, serving cutlery and similar items.
