Basic Course
Below are step-by-step instructions to help you
achieve the best possible dishwashing results.
Load the baskets correctly!
Thanks to Self Cleaning System, you
do not need to rinse the dishes under
running water. Simply remove large food
particles and debris. Convenient and environ-
mentally-friendly!
Placeglasses,cups,bowls,sideplates,and
saucers in the upper basket.Wineglasses
should be hung from or leaned against the
wine glass shelf and knives placed in the knife
stand if present.
Note!
Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards
or downwards!
Placedinnerplates,sideplates,serving
dishes, saucepans, and cutlery (in the cut-
lery basket) in the lower basket. The remov-
able plate insert, which comes with certain
models, can be easily removed to provide
room for large plates, saucepans, pots, or
placed in three alternative positions.
Stand the cutlery with handles downward
and as spread out as possible. Ensure that
spoons are not resting inside each other.
CAUTION!
Knives and other utensils with sharp points
must be loaded in the basket with their
points down or placed in a horizontal posi-
tion.
Donotputcutlerymadeofdierentmateri-
als - such as silver and stainless steel - in
the same compartment (risk of stains).
Thecutlerybaskethasafoldingapinthe
middle for small items or narrow shafts,
such as electric whisks.
Placelongcutleryandcarvingknivesinthe
special knife box (if present) or in the upper
basket.
Check that the spray arms are able to
move freely.
See the section entitled Fragile Dishes if you
wanttowashobjectsthatmaybefragile.
Dishwashing detergent
Werecommendthatyouuse
only unscented, granular automatic dish-
washing detergent. Using the wrong deter-
gentcouldcauseoodingand/ordamage
your dishwasher. Do not use detergent that
has been wet and is clumped. Also, check
the expiration date on the container.
The amount of detergent needed can vary
duetodierencesinwaterhardness.To
determine the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water utility or area water
softening company. The harder the water,
the more detergent you may need. Refer to
the chart below for the recommended de-
tergent amounts based on water hardness.
Remember,youshouldadjusttheamount
of detergent you use by small amounts
untilyoundthecorrectamount.

Read the directions for use for such products
carefully. If anything is unclear, contact the
detergent manufacturer.

For select program see Part Programs.
Select Option
If you wish to use additional options,
continue to the “Options” section.
Otherwise you can now start the

Twelve grains and higher is extremely hard
water and detergent alone may not be
enough.You may need to use a water soft-
ener to maximize the performance of your
dishwasher. Also, in areas with hard water
(9+) you may need to wash at lower temper-
atures to prevent hard water deposits from
forming in tank and wash system.
In hard water areas, both the dishes and
the machine can develop a white or gray
lmafterawhile.Thiscanberemovedby
replacing the prewash detergent with two
tablespoons of citric acid. If the water is very
hard, use a rinse aid that contains citric acid.
Note:
Werecommendthatyoudonotaddpre-
wash detergent for the Quick wash pro-
grams.
Note:
If you use a dishwashing detergent with
arinseaidadditive,youshouldnotllthe
rinseaiddispenser.Thiscouldcausealm
on your dishes.
Dishwasher tablets
Cutthetabletinhalfifitisdiculttoclose
the dispenser cover. There is a risk that the
dishwasher detergent will not break down
properly to give the correct dosage if the
cover is tight and cannot be opened cor-
rectly.

Fragile dishes
A number of household goods are not suit-
able for machine washing. This can be due
to a variety of reasons. Certain materials
cannotwithstandintenseheat;otherscan
be damaged by the dishwasher detergent.
Fragile decoration
China with decoration on top of the glaze
(the goods have a rough feel) should not be
machine washed.
Crystal/ glass
Placethegoodssothattheydonotknock
together during the wash. Use the lowest
possible wash temperature and the shortest
possible program. Do not heat dry! Antique
and very fragile items should not be ma-
chine washed.
Glass which is machine washed at high
temperaturescanintimedevelopagreylm
whichcannotberemoved.Washneglass
at the lowest temperature and with a low
dosage of dishwasher detergent.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not
come into contact with each other as the
silver can discolor.
Cutlery with glued handles
Certain types of adhesive cannot withstand
machine washing. In such cases the han-
dles can come loose.
Wood
Woodenitemsshouldonlybemachine
washed if they are labeled as dishwasher
safe.
Aluminum
Aluminum can be dulled by machine wash-
ing. However, good quality aluminum sauce-
pans can be machine washed, although a
reduction in luster should be expected.
Plastic
Certain types of plastic cannot withstand
the high temperature generated in machine
dishwashing.
Protect plastic goods
Select a program with a low temperature.

range from 1-6. Harder water will require a
higher dosage. Increments until glassware is
free from water stains.

you should use rinse aid with citric acid (acid
rinse aid).
Too much rinse aid can lead to the build-
up of foam. If your water is particularly soft,
you can dilute the rinse aid (1 part rinse aid,
1 part water).
Too much rinse aid can cause streaks on
the dishes, while too little can result in water
stains.
