Remove large amounts of food residue from the dishes and soak dried on food residue
(such as dried on egg or spinach) (seeFig. N). However, it is not necessary to rinse
the dishes under running water before the wash cycle. Pre-rinsing dishes increases wa-
ter and energy consumption and is not recommended.
To prevent damage to glass or cutlery, do not remove these from the dishwasher direct-
ly after the wash program has finished. Allow the dishes to cool down slightly first.
Arrange hollow objects such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with the opening downwards,
so that water cannot collect inside.
Dishes must not be put inside each other or cover another dish.
Place large dishes on the dish rack (8).
To save energy and water it is best to run a cycle when your dishwasher is full.
Do not overfill the dishwasher so as to achieve good washing results.
Washing dishes in a dishwasher usually uses less energy and water than washing them
by hand, provided the dishwasher is used according to the user manual.
Select a program that is suitable for the type of dishes and the degree of soiling.
Reduce the amount of detergent if the dish racks are only half full.
