[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] 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. You are reminded of this by the salt refill indicator light on the control panel which will illuminate when the salt has finished. Important: The salt refill indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuring the dishwasher remains on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The function of the dishwasher is not affected. The rinse-aid The rinse-aid ensures brilliant crockery and also helps it to dry. It is automatically dosed in during the hot rinsing cycle. The storage compartment built in to the in side of the door can hold about 110 ml of rinse-aid, which will be sufficient for between 16 and 40 dishwashing programmes, according to the dosage setting.

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.
