Important hints

Operating your dishwasher economically and with regard for the environment

Collect your dirty dishes, stack them in the dishwasher, and only wash them when both baskets are full, making sure that the latter are never overloaded. Only then can you be sure that you are machine-washing economically and with regard for the environment.

Always select the programme corresponding to the type of crockery and degree of soiling (see "Washing programmes" chart).

Never overdose detergents, special salt or rinse-aid. Follow the dosage recommendations in these operating instructions as well as the instructions given by manufacturers of these products.

Make sure that the water softener is correctly set.
