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 an upper basket and a
lower basket with cutlery basket.
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
.
Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots and cutlery
(in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket.
Cutlery basket
Place cutlery with the handles facing down, except for
knives, and spread them out as much as possible. Ensure
that spoons do not stack inside each other.
Place the cutlery basket in the lower basket.
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.
The cup shelf can be folded up or down for better stacking
of pots and pans.

Place the dishes in the machine so that the rinse
water will run of them; this is especially important for
plastic.
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely
Raising and lowering the upper basket
1 Pull out the upper basket. (The basket must be empty.)
2 Grip the upper basket with both hands, pull it out and
move the upper basket to its other position.
3 Push back the upper basket.
