In daily use Loading cutlery and dishes Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other objects that can absorb water must not be washed in the dishwasher. Plastic and Teflon-coated dishes and pans tend to retain water droplets. These dishes and pans therefore do not dry as well as those made of china and stainless steel.

To ensure that all items of cutlery in the cutlery basket can be reached by the water, you should: 1.Place the grid insert on the cut- lery basket...

Using 3in1 detergents These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt function. When the 3in1 function is activated, – the addition of special salt and rinse aid from the respective dispenser is prevented. – If the salt and rinse aid dispensers are empty, this is not indicated. –...
