The accidental filling of the salt compartment with detergent would ruin the water softener. Each time you add salt, make sure the carton you have in your hand really is salt. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container. Pour about 1 litre of water into the container, or until it is full (this is only necessary before filling with salt for the first time). 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. UI35 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 UI27 Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely. 18 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. For better cleaning results, we recommend that spoons should be intermingled with other cutlery items so that they do not nestle into one another. Exceptionally long cutlery, such as soup ladles, kitchen knives, or the like, may obstruct the upper spray arm. Such cutlery can be placed in the upper basket. UI41 Long bladed knives stored in a upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. 19 The upper basket The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be arranged as shown in the pictures. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside-down in the raised cup-racks. US34 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 US33 Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. 20 Operating instructions Set and start the programme Push the plug into the socket.
