Using Your Dishwasher

Detergent Dispenser

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the wash cycle table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than Conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Adding detergent to Dishwasher

ŸIf the lid is closed: press release button. The lid will spring open.

ŸAlways add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.

ŸOnly use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.

Attention before or after Loading the Dishwasher Baskets.

For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.

Scrape off any large food particles. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.

It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:

1.Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.

2.Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.

3.All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.

4.All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.

NOTE: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the baskets.

ŸLoad 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.

ŸDishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.

ŸTo avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.

ŸLoad large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket.

ŸThe upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups

ŸLong bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!

ŸLong and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

ŸPlease do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption of energy.

Removing the Dishes

To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first and then the upper basket.
