Tips and instructions for the economical and environmentally conscious use of the appliance are marked with a clover leaf. [. . . ] The detergent is released into the wash water during the programme. Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. The detergent compartment is on the inside of the dishwasher door. If the lid is closed: press release button (1). Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The markings indicate the dosing levels: "20" corresponds to approx. 20 ml of detergent, "30" corresponds to approx. Close the lid and press until it locks into place. 3 If the dishes are very heavily soiled put additional detergent into the adjacent chamber (2). This detergent will take effect during the pre wash. 18 Operating Instructions Bio Wash Programmes and Concentrated Detergents Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split into two basic types: ­ Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components ­ Weak alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes. 2 The use of BIO wash programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; the BIO wash programmes are specially matched to the soil dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. It is for this reason that BIO wash programmes can achieve the same results at 50 °C that can otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C programmes. Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Open the door carefully. Emptying the Dishwasher 3 · Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing them from the appliance. · Leave the dishes in the dishwasher for approx. 15 minutes after the end of the programme so that they dry better and can cool down. · Empty the lower rack first, then the upper rack. In this way you will avoid any water left on the upper rack dripping onto the dishes in the lower rack and causing water spots. 22 Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning 1 Do not under any circumstances use furniture care products or aggressive cleaners. · If necessary, clean the controls only with a soft cloth and pure warm water. · The spray arms do not need cleaning. · Occasionally check the internal containers, door seal, and water inlet for soiling, clean if necessary. Cleaning the Filter The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to a large extent self-cleaning. Nevertheless the filters should be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.
