When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note: ­ Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms. ­ Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base. ­ Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other ­ To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch ­ Do not lay small objects (e. g. lids) in the cutlery rack 16 Loading Cutlery 1 1 1 Long bladed knives stored in an 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. To ensure that all items of cutlery are completely washed, you should 1. Place the grid insert on the cutlery rack 2. Place short knives, forks and spoons in the grid insert with their handles pointing downwards. Some models of dishwasher have cutlery baskets without a cutlery grid. 17 Loading Pans, Frying Pans and Large Plates Load large and heavily soiled dishes in the lower rack (Plates up to 29cm in diameter). Your dishwasher has one of the following two types of lower rack: Type 1: The rear plate insert in the lower rack can be removed 3 To make it easier to load large dishes, it is possible - to remove the plate inserts from the lower rack. For this reason 50 °C wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C programmes. Detergent Tablets 3 Special Advice When using combination products, the rinse-aid and salt lights are no longer useful. It may be helpful therefore to switch the rinse aid off - please note that only some dishwashers have this facility - and selecting the lowest possible setting for water hardness. For more information please refer to your instruction manual. If you decide to switch to the use of a standard detergent system we advise that you: · Refill both the salt and rinse aid compartments. · Switch the waterhardness setting to the highest possible position and run for three normal cycles without a load. · Readjust the waterhardness setting again according to the conditions for your region (as per the instruction manual). Detergent tablets of different makes dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use wash programmes with pre wash when using detergent tablets. 21 Selecting the Wash Programme (Programme Table) Choose the most suitable wash programme with the aid of this table: Type of Dishes: in addition: Dinner Service and Pans ­ ­ heavy soiling; dried on leftovers ­ Coffee and Party Dishes with delicate glasses Dishes without Pans ­ dishes that have just been used, normal to slight soiling Particularly suitable when concentrated detergents are used.
