SAFETY
Before using the appliance
■
The appliance should only be connected by
a qualified fitter
(see electrical connection).
■ This appliance is designed for household
use only.
■ Disconnect the appliance before starting
with cleaning or reparation. Preferably by
taking the plug out of the socket or by
turning off the mains switch.
■ Do not use an extension cable.
■ Never clean electrical appliances (mixer,
food processor etc.) in the dishwasher.
■ Never use detergents containing
phosphates or bleaches.
■ Avoid limescale by regularly refilling the
regenerative salts. Use only the special
salt intended for dishwashers (do not use
iodized salt).
■ Regularly check that the sprinklers and the
filter element are clean.
■ Never use the dishwasher without the
filters.
■ Do not stand or sit on the open door of your
dishwasher. The appliance may topple
over.
Things to watch out for
Before you place kitchenware in the machine
■ First remove food remains. You thereby
avoid blockages.
■ First soak any pots/pans that are very dirty.
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.
