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:
Crystal or hand-blown glassware; glass on
which the decoration has been burnt in;
glassware with a gold edging.
