We recommend:
– When purchasing new crockery and
cutlery, make sure they are
dishwasher-proof.
– There are no standard guidelines for
washing glassware. When in doubt,
wash glassware by hand.
– If delicate glassware is washed in the
dishwasher ensure that only very low
temperatures are used (see
programme chart). This will reduce
the risk of clouding.

Programme selection
Choose your programme according to
the type of load and how dirty it is.
In most cases this will be a Universal
programme or a Universal plus
programme.
These programmes are ideally suited to
everyday mixed loads with varying
degrees of soiling.
The different programmes and their
uses are described in the programme

Programme chart
When washing a full load in the Intensive Programme, the Universal Plus Programme, the Universal
Programme, the Normal Programme and the Economy Programme at least 30 ml of detergent are
required. If the detergent manufacturer recommends using more than this you should dispense the
amount they suggest.
For the Intensive Programme add an additional 5-7 ml to compartment I.
Values quoted are in accordance with EN 50242. Results in the home may differ.
59
Transport
Should you ever need to move the
dishwasher, e.g. when moving house,
note the following:
– Empty the dishwasher,
– Secure any loose parts, e. g. hoses,
mains cable, cutlery basket, lower
basket
– Transport the dishwasher in the
upright position.
If unavoidable, it may be transported
on its back.
Do not transport it on its side or on
the door as residual water still in the
appliance will leak out of it.
This residual water could get into the
electronic unit and cause a fault.
