Loading cutlery and dishes
Helpful hints and tips
Caution! Only use the appliance for
household utensils that are applicable
for dishwashers.
Do not use the appliance to clean objects
that can absorb water (sponges, household
cloths, etc.).
• Before you load cutlery and dishes, do
these steps:
– Remove all food remainings and debris.
– Make burnt, remaining food in pans soft.
• While you load cutlery and dishes, do
these steps:
– Load hollow items (e.g. cups, glasses
and pans) with the opening down.
– Make sure that water does not collect in
the container or in a deep base.
– Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not
lie inside one another.
– Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not
cover other cutlery and dishes.
– Make sure that glasses do not touch
other glasses.
– Put small objects in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and pans with non-stick
coatings can keep water droplets. Plastic
items do not dry as well as porcelain and
steel items.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make
sure that the items do not move.
1. Turn the rinse aid dial to increase or de-
crease the dosage.
– Increase the dosage if there are water
droplets or limescale on the dishes.
– Decrease the dosage if there are
streaks, whitish stains or bluish layers
on the dishes.
Caution! Make sure that the spray arms
can move freely before you start a
washing programme.
Warning! Always close the door after
you load or unload the appliance. An
open door can be dangerous.
