turning off the mains switch.
Do not use an extension cable.
Never clean electrical appliances (mixer,
food processor etc.) in the dishwasher.

Things to watch out for

First remove food remains. You thereby
avoid blockages.

Environmental tips
Save your dirty kitchenware and only use
your dishwasher when one (in the case of the
half-load option) or both baskets have been
filled.
Always select the most suitable
programme, depending on how dirty your
dishes are.
China ware
Not suitable:
All sorts of china ware with an onglaze
decoration or edge which you can see and
feel. Also consider the shape of the china
ware. Bell-shaped cups break more easily
than straight-sided cups. Under no
circumstances put porous earthenware in
your dishwasher.
Suitable:
China ware fired at a temperature of
700/800 °C. Do not use too much rinse-aid in
this case, to avoid any damage. Only white or
single-colour china ware which is fired at a
temperature of 1200/1300 °C is completely
dishwasher proof.
Glass
Not suitable are: crystal or hand-blown
glassware; glass on which the decoration has
been burnt in; glassware with a gold edging.
