We as manufacturers, however, see ourselves as being obliged to familiarize you with the following safety instructions. Using your dishwasher for its intended purpose s Only use your dishwasher for machine washing of household crockery. If your machine is misused or used for any purposes other than that forwhich it is intended, the manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage caused. For safety reasons, you should not convert or modify your dishwasher in any way. s Before using your dishwasher for the first time s Check your dishwasher for any transport damage. [. . . ] 7 At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash. Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution. 57 BIO programmes and compact powders On the basis of their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be classified into two groups: conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components: low-alkaline compact powders with natural enzymes. The enzymes in low-alkaline compact powders have a dirt-dissolving effect and are also biodegradable. These enzymes deploy their full dirt-dissolving power within a temperature range of 40-50°C. In BIO washing programmes, the temperature range and duration of the heating phases are precisely matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes. In combination with low-alkaline compact powders, BIO washing programmes, at a temperature as low as 50°C, therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes. The lack of any caustic components in low-alkaline compact powders and the lower cleaning temperature of BIO washing programmes not only relieve the environment, but also care for your crockery. 58 Loading your machine Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any large scraps of food from the plates (small bones, toothpicks, fish bones, scraps of meat and vegetables, fruit skins etc. ) to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing performance. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily. Long items of cutlery such as ladles, carving knives etc. should be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible; correct arrangement of the items will give better washing results. Light items (plastic bowls etc. ) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so that they do not move during washing. The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates (up to 27 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cutlery etc. UI28 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 UI11 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 Fig. 9 (9 IEC) Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely. 59 UI12 Fig. 10 The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls. To lower the prongs: slightly pull them upward and let them drop down; to bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again. UI18 Fig. 11 60 Cutlery basket Place knives, forks and spoons in the cutlery basket with their handles pointing downwards. Arrange cutlery loosely and distribute it in all compartments so that each individual article has good contact with washing water. Also do not arrange spoons and forks with their dirty side in contact with each other. [. . . ] The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the floor. It makes no difference which way the drain hose faces, either to the right or left of the dishwasher. Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water. CS12 Ø Ø 18 Ø 21 max 100 cm + 2 m max Fig. 23 Extension hoses The necessary extension hoses can be obtained from specialist shops or from our technical assistance centres. [. . . ]
