You are advised to read this manual carefully; it contains all the information you need about the right conditions for the proper, safe use of your dishwasher. The individual sections are laid out to provide you with a step-by-step guide to all your appliance's functions; the texts are easy to understand and are complete with detailed illustrations. [. . . ] An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results. The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes. - Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60C. - Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55C) and are more easily biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65C using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents. 25 User instructions Flexi Tabs If you wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse aid, check whether your dishwasher is fitted with the "Flexi Tabs option button" on the "Controls description" page and then refer to the section which explains how to use this function. If the button is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with conventional washing cycles integrated products might create problems such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes. The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher. 4. 3 General warnings and recommendations Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to: remove coarse food remains: e. g. soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER BASKET. There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water. Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results. 26 User instructions WARNING! Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle. Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump. Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out. Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other. Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch. MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe. Items which are not dishwasher-safe: Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures. Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them. Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket. [. . . ] Sollte das Ventilkastengehause beschadigt sein, ist unbedingt der Netzstecker aus zu ziehen.
