Please check the section 3 “Loading The Salt Into The Softener”
of PART 1: Generic Version, If your dishwasher lacks salt.
NOTE:
If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip
this section. Water Softener
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard wa-
ter is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes
and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt
container specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals
from the water.
Preparing And Loading
Dishes
Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-
proof.
For particular items, select a program with the lowest possible
temperature. To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery
out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.

lery/dishes
Are not suitable
• 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 re-
sistant
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes
• Pewter or cooper items
• Crystal glass
• Steel items subject to rusting
• Wooden platters

Are of limited suitability
• Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number
of washes
• Silver and aluminum parts have a tendency to discolour
during washing Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently
Recommendations for loading the dishwasher
• Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften rem-
nants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the
dishes under running water.
• For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loa-
ding guidelines. (Features and appearance of baskets and
cutlery baskets may vary from your model.)
• Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:
• Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced down-
wards.
• Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant
so that water can run off.
• All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
• All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can ro-
tate freely during washing.
• 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, glasses should not
touch one another.
• 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 poten-
tial 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.
NOTE:
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they
could easily fall out of the basket.
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower
basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first,
followed by the upper basket.
WARNING
Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cut-
lery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the pro-
gram has ended.
Loading the basket
All tableware can’t be placed face up, in order to improve the
cleaning area and washing performance, it is recommended to
place the dirty side towards the spray arm.
Please don’t let tableware out of basket bottom to make sure
not block the moving of the spray arm. The maximum diameter
advised for plates in front of the detergent dispenser is of 19 cm,
this not to hamper the opening of it.
Loading the cutlery basket
• For personal safety and a top quality cleaning, place the sil-
verware in the basket making sure that: They do not nest to-
gether.
• Silverware is placed with the handles-down.
