DISHWASHER DETERGENTS
Use a detergent specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers. You can find it in a powder, gelcapsules and tablets.
Detergent must be placed into the reservoir before starting the dishwasher. Keep the detergents stored in a cool, dry place
and out of reach of children. If swallowed, consult a doctor inmmediately and take the packaging with you.
Do not fill more detergent than required in the reservoir; otherwise it may cause scratches on your glasses as well as lead to
a poorly dissolved detergent.

• Push the latch (1) to open the detergent reservoir. The detergent reservoir has level lines inside. It is possible to measure
the right amount of detergent using these lines.
• The reservoir can contain a maximum of 40 grams of detergent. Fill the reservoir with 25 grams of detergent when the
dishes are heavily soiled or with 15 grams if they are less soiled. Pour 5 grams in the compartment when there are dried
food wastes in the dishes and when the dishwasher is overly loaded.
• Close the lid by sliding it in place, close the door and start the dishwasher.
• Depending on the water hardness and the amount of dirt on the dishes add extra detergent.
Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents called 2-in-1, 3-in-1, 5-in-1 etc. Generally, combined
detergents produce sufficient results under certain usage conditions only. Observe the instructions on packaging when
using a combined product. Never put the detergent tablet into the interior section or in the cutlery basket of the dishwasher.
Always put the tablet into the detergent reservoir.
When using short wash cycles it is possible the tablet does not dissolve fully. Therefore use detergent tablets only in
combination with long wash cycle, so that the detergent tablet has time to fully dissolve.

loading your dishwasher
Properly placing your dishes into the dishwasher has a positive effect on the energy consumption and the washing and
drying performance.
The lower basket can be loaded with large items such as pots with long handles, pans, lids, plates, salad bowls and the
cutlery basket.
The upper basket is for cups and saucers, mugs, small bowls and glasses. Wine glasses and long-stem glasses must be
placed against the edge of the basket, rack or glass supporter wire and not against other items. Long, small cooking
utensils, such as wooden spoons, should be placed lying down in the middle of the upper basket.
The cutlery basket is designed for cutlery. Sharp items of cutlery, such as knives and forks should be placed with their sharp
points facing down. Place the cutlery piece by piece in a compartent to ensure the spray arms can reach every part.
WARNING: place your dishes into your dishwasher in a way that they will not prevent the upper and lower spray arms from
spinning.
The upper basket has height adjustable racks. They are designed to increase the capacity of the upper basket. You can
place your glasses and cups on the racks. You can adjust them in height. Thanks to this feature, you can place different sizes
of glasses under the racks. In addition, you can place long forks, knives and spoons on these racks laterally, so that they do
not block the spinning of the spray arm.
