Loading cutlery and dishes
Before loading, remove large food scraps and soften burnt food remnants.
General loading guidelines:
- Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.
- Load hollow items (cups, glasses, pans) with the opening downwards to prevent water collection.
- Dishes and cutlery must not overlap.
- To avoid damage, glasses must not touch each other.
- Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
The lower basket: Designed for saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, and cutlery. Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge to allow spray arms to turn freely.
The cutlery basket: Long and/or sharp items like carving knives should be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Forks and spoons should be placed with handles facing downwards, and knives with handles facing upwards. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent sticking.
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates, salad bowls, cups, and glasses. Arrange items so water can reach all surfaces. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks. For taller items, cup racks can be folded upwards. Light items like plastic bowls should be loaded securely to prevent movement.
Fill with detergent
- Press the release button (1) to open the detergent dispenser lid.
- Fill the dispenser (2) with detergent. Markings indicate dosing levels.
- Programmes with prewash require an additional detergent dose (5/10g) in the prewash detergent chamber (3).
- Close the lid and press until it locks.
