Energy saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electricity. For best results follow these tips: ^ For lowest energy consumption you may connect the dishwasher to a cold water source. ^ For fastest possible wash times, with slightly higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source. ^ Make full use of the baskets without overloading for the most economical washing. ^ Use the correct amount of detergent and rinse aid. Detergent dosage is dependent upon the amount of soiling and type of dishware being washed. See the "Program Guide" for more information. ^ When using powder or gel detergent, reduce the amount to 2/3 of the normal amount when washing a small load. ^ Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed. ^ For small loads select "Express".

^ Press the "Start / Stop" button to select the value which corresponds with the water hardness in your area. With each press of the key the value will raise. Once the highest value is reached the values will start again from the beginning. Turn the dishwasher off with "K".
Filling the salt container
,Inadvertently filling the salt container with dishwashing detergent will damage the water softener. ,Only use water softener salt specially formulated for dishwashers. Other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the water softener.
^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt container lid. When opening the salt container, water will run out. Open the container only to refill salt. ^ Place the provided funnel over the salt container. Carefully fill with salt. The salt container holds approx. 4.5 lbs (2 kg) of salt. As it is filled, water will run out. ^ Clean any excess salt from the threads of the container opening. Screw the lid on firmly. ^ If the dishwasher will not be used immediately, run the "Express" program (without the "Turbo" function). This will remove any traces of salt from inside the wash cabinet.
Important: The salt container must be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water before adding salt for the first time. Water does not have to be added with subsequent refills.

Salt indicator

^ When the "Salt" indicator comes on, refill the salt after the program is finished. After the container has been filled, the water softener is automatically reactivated the next time the dishwasher is started. The "Salt" indicator will be lit during this process. It will go out once the reactivation process is complete.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid helps to prevent spotting on dishes and glassware. The rinse aid is filled in the reservoir and the set amount will be automatically dosed.
,Filling the rinse aid reservoir with detergent will damage the reservoir. Only pour rinse aid formulated for residential dishwashers into the reservoir.
When using "Tab" detergents rinse aid is not needed. ^ Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir until it is visible on the surface of the screen. The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 3.7 oz (110 ml). ^ Press on the flap until you hear it click shut. Failure to close it all the way allows water to enter the reservoir during the wash program. ^ Clean any spilled rinse aid. The flap will remain closed during normal operation.

Adding rinse aid

^ Press the button in the direction of the arrow until the flap springs open.

Loading the dishwasher

Items not recommended for dishwashing
Cutlery with wooden handles Wooden cutting boards Glued items such as old knives with handles glued together around the shank of the blade Handmade craft items, antique, metal trimmed or decorative glassware Plastic items that are not heat resistant Copper, brass, tin or aluminum Dishes with color painted over the glaze. These dishes may fade over time Fine glassware and crystal items should only be washed using the "China & Crystal" program*. Otherwise clouding or etching may occur after frequent washing. Cast iron pots and pans Glassware: There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware, when in doubt wash by hand. When purchasing new dishes, glasses and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe. Only wash items marked "dishwasher safe" in the dishwasher. If fine glassware is washed in the dishwasher select the "China & Crystal" program*. This will reduce the risk of clouding. Silver and aluminum: Silver or aluminum items may tarnish. Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may be damp or spotted at the end of a program where water has adhered to the polish. This can be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth. Silver that has been cleaned in an immersion dip is usually dry at the end of a program, but may tarnish. If left to dry, foods containing sulfur can discolor silver. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, fish and marinades. Silverware may tarnish or pit if washed next to stainless steel. Leave space between these metals. Clean aluminum items, e.g. grease filters, with domestic dishwasher detergent only.

* depending on model

If unsure whether your china and crystal are dishwasher safe, please check with the manufacturer. The China & Crystal program, although extremely gentle and thorough can cause the china and crystal to "wear" if they are not dishwasher safe.

Split cutlery tray

^ Arrange the cutlery as shown in the cutlery tray. For easier unloading cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc. Place knives with the cutting edge and forks with the prongs between the holders. Spoons should be placed in the opposite direction with the handles between the holders. The upper spray arm must not be blocked by tall cutlery items. The inserts of the cutlery tray can be removed. Single inserts can be removed to make room for tall items in the upper basket.

Adjusting the upper basket
The upper basket can be raised or lowered to accommodate tall items. The basket can also be angled to fit tall items in both, the upper and lower baskets. The angles should not be set to opposite extremes. This will block the middle spray arm. Take care when sliding the basket in and out in this position. ^ Slide out the upper basket. Depending on the setting of the upper basket, a variety of plate dimensions can be accommodated. For example: If the upper basket is in its highest position a plate with a diameter of 12 3/16" (31 cm) can be fit in the lower basket.
^ Pull up the levers at the sides of the upper basket and adjust the basket height. ^ Release the levers and the basket will lock in place.
