Loading the dishwasher
Economic dishwashing
•
Do not start the dishwasher until it is fully loaded to save
energy.
•
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!
•
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a
programme with a low temperature.
•
Better drying results are achieved if you open the door
a little once the programme has ended. (If the
dishwasher is built-in the surrounding furnishings must
be resistant to any condensation.)
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.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an
upper basket and a lower basket.
Top cutlery tray
The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks,
serving cutlery and similar items.

Upper basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the
upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and
downwards! Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass
shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right
(if fitted).

Raising and lowering the upper basket
1
Pull out the upper basket.
2
Grab the sides of the upper basket with both hands
and lift it up.

upper basket can be set in three positions.) When the
upper basket is in the highest position lifting it will return
it to the lowest position.

Foldable tines
The foldable tines can be folded up or down to make it
easier to load pots, bowls and glasses. Release the foldable
tines by pressing the catch inwards before adjusting their
position.
