Recommendations for loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not
necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading 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 downwards.
• 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 rotate 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 potential 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 rst, followed by the upper basket.
Warning !
Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the
dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the program has ended.
Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and
lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups
and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow
pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the
dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by
the spray of water.
Loading the lower basket
We suggest that you place large items and the most
difcult to clean items are to be placed into the lower
basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and
bowls, as shown in the gure below. It is preferable to
place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in
order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top 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
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery rack separately from each other in the appropriate positions,
and do make sure the utensils do not nest together, this may cause bad performance.
Using Your Dishwasher
Warning !
Do not let any item extend through the bottom.
Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!

Using Your Dishwasher
Function Of The Rinse Aid And Detergent
The rinse aid is released during the nal rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes,
which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your
dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
When to rell the rinse aid dispenser
Unless the rinse-aid warning light ( ) on the control panel is on, you can always estimate the amount
from the color of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is
full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the dark dot decreases as the rinse-aid diminishes. You
should never let the rinse aid level be less than 1/4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as
illustrated below.
Full 3/4 full 1/2 full 1/4 full Empty
Function of detergent
The chemical ingredients that compose the detergent are necessary to remove, crush and dispense all
dirt out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
Warning !
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never ll the rinse aid dispenser with any other
substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
Warning !
• Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specically made for dishwashers use. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
Don’t put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.
• Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of
children.

3. Close the rinse aid reservoir cap by

Adjusting the rinse aid reservoir
Turn the rinse aid indicator dial to a number between 1 and 6. The higher
the number, the more rinse aid the dishwasher uses. If the dishes are not
drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number
until your dishes are spot-free. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains
on your dishes or a bluish lm on glassware or knife blades.
