[. . . ] For safety reasons, you should not convert or modify your dishwasher in any way. q Before using your dishwasher for the first time q Check your dishwasher for any transport damage. If your dishwasher is damaged, you should contact your supplier. Your dishwasher must be correctly installed and connected. Please read the section on "Installation" to make sure you know all about this. [. . . ] The following sections give you more detailed information about the individual points. Setting the water hardness range Soft (low-lime) water is necessary for machine washing to avoid lime deposits on crockery and in your dishwasher. Tap water with a hardness above 4°d (German degree) must therefore be softened for machine washing. For this purpose, your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener. The water softener is treated (regenerated) automatically and at regular intervals with salt solution. The salt consumption needed for regeneration thus depends on the local water hardness. Your local water company will provide you with information about water hardness in your area. To ensure optimum regeneration of the water softener: - the water softening system must be set to the local water hardness; - the dishwasher salt container must always be filled with special salt. Your local Water Company will provide you with information about water hardness in your area. The dishwasher is factory set at level 2. If this level is not suitable for your area, the softener should be adjusted. Pour the rinse-aid into the filler opening until the indicator (B) on the side of the cover turns completely dark (i. e. 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. 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. 20 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 upwards and let them drop down (see picture). - To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again. UI18 21 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.
