Preparing And Loading Dishes
Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof. For particular items, select a program with the lowest possible temperature. To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.
For washing the following cutlery/dishes
Are not suitable Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-pearl handles Plastic items that are not heat resistant Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant Bonded cutlery items or dishes Pewter or cooper items Crystal glass Steel items subject to rusting Wooden platters Items made from synthetic fibres
Are of limited suitability Some types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes Silver and aluminum parts have a tendency to discolour during washing Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently
Recommendations for loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. (Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.) Place objects in the dishwasher in following way: Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards. Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off. All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over. All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
12

Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base. Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other. To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another. The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups. Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard! Long and / or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption of energy.
NOTE:
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower basket first, followed by the upper basket.
WARNING
Items will be hot! To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the program has ended.
13

Loading the upper basket
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.
Loading the lower basket
We suggest that you place large items and the most difficult to clean items are to be placed into the lower basket: such as pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure below. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm. The maximum diameter advised for plates in front of the detergent dispenser is of 19 cm, this not to hamper the opening of it.
Loading the cutlery basket
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery rack separately from each other in the appropriate positions, and do make sure the utensils do not nest together, this may cause bad performance.
WARNING Do not let any item extend through the bottom. Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!
For the best washing effect, please check page 35 “LOADING THE BASKETS ACCORDING TO AS/NZS 2007.1”.

Function Of The Rinse Aid And Detergent
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
WARNING
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

When to refill the rinse aid dispenser

Unless the rinse-aid warning light (

) on the control panel is on, you can always

estimate the amount from the color of the optical level indicator located next to the

cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, the indicator will be fully dark. The size of the

dark dot decreases as the rinse-aid diminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level

be less than 1/4 full.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator

changes, as illustrated below.

Full

3/4 full

Caring For The Dishwasher

Frost precaution
Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. After every wash, please operate as follows: 1. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source. 2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve. 3. Drain the water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to gather the
water) 4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve. 5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up water in
the sump.
After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odours are not trapped inside.
Remove the plug
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.

No solvents or abrasive cleaning
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water an a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

When not in use for a longtime
It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

Moving the appliance
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

Seals

One of the factors that cause odours to form in the dishwasher is food that remains

trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from

occurring.
