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. 19 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. Therefore please use normal programmes with pre wash when using detergent tablets. 3 Detergent Recommendations For best results we recommend the use of Finish detergent, rinse aid and salt. 20 Operating Instructions Selecting the Wash Programme (Programme Table) Choose the most suitable wash programme with the aid of this table: Type of dishes in addition Type of soiling · heavily soiled · dried on leftovers, particularly egg white and thickeners Dinner service and cooking utensils Dessert dishes and coffee service · normally soiled with fragile glasses · lightly soiled · normally soiled · dried left-overs particularly suited to the use of concentrated detergents.

Emptying the Dishwasher 3 · The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing them from the appliance, as hot dishes may be sensitive to knocks. · 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. · First empty the lower rack, and then the upper rack. This will avoid any water that may be remaining in the upper rack, dripping onto the dishes in the lower rack and leaving water marks. 23 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. · Occasionally check the internal containers, door seal, and water inlet for soiling, clean if necessary. Cleaning the Filter The filters should be checked and cleaned regularly. Blocked filters will give poor wash results.
