You can remove the knife shelf to wash taller utensils. Re-insert the knife shelf in the correct position. Adjusting the height of the basket * * depending on model If required, the height of the upper utensils basket can be adjusted to provide more space for tall utensils either in the upper or lower basket.

To lower the basket, press in the left and then the right lever on the outside of the basket. In doing so, hold the sides of the basket along the upper edge to prevent it from suddenly dropping.

Before re-inserting the basket again, ensure that it is at the same height on both sides. Otherwise, the appliance door cannot be closed and the upper spray arm will not be connected to the water circuit. Top basket with upper and lower roller pairs Pull out the top basket. Remove the upper basket and re-attach it to the upper (stage 3) or lower (stage 1) rollers. Detergent You can use tablets as well as powder or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing up liquid. Tablets contain not only detergent but also rinse-aid and salt (3in1) and, depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.), additional components such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner. If tablets contain rinse-aid and salt, it is usually not necessary to add additional rinse-aid and salt up to a specific degree of hardness. If the degree of hardness is higher and if using solo detergents (powder or liquid detergents or tablets without rinse-aid and salt) rinse-aid and salt must be added. The appliance doses these automatically according to the preset values for water hardness and amount of rinse-aid. As soon as combined detergent products are used, the rinse programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible rinsing and drying result. Tip Follow the instructions for use or the instructions on the detergent packaging to ensure that rinse-aid and salt are used effectively. If you have further questions, we recommend that you contact the detergent manufacturers’ helpline. Detergent dispenser with dosing aid The graduated detergent dispenser 30 helps you add the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent: lower line: 15 ml middle line: 25 ml full: 50 ml en Adding detergent Pour detergent into the dispenser 30 (insert tablet flat, not on its edge). Dosage: see manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. Close the cover on the detergent dispenser by sliding it up until the lock engages without difficulty. The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the optimum time depending on the programme. The powder or liquid detergent is distributed in the appliance and is dissolved, the tablet falls into the tablet collecting tray where it dissolves in doses. Tip If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate. Warnings Do not place small parts for washing in the tablet collecting tray 22 ; this prevents the tablet from dissolving evenly. If you want to add more utensils after the programme has started, do not use the tablet collecting tray 22 as a handle for the upper basket. The tablet could already be there and you will touch the partially dissolved tablet. Note You will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results by using solo detergents and applying salt and rinse-aid separately. f programmes are short, tablets may not have full cleaning effect due to different dissolving properties and there may even be undissolved detergent residue. It is recommended to use washing powder for these programmes. The Intensive programme (on some models) requires one tab only. When using washing powder, you can apply some of this cleaning agent to the inside of the appliance’s door. Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit, the rinse programme will run correctly if combined detergents are used (when using combined detergents, add rinse-aid at a water hardness above 21 dH – see chapter entitled “Rinse-aid”). If you switch from combined detergents to solo detergents, ensure that the water softening system and amount of rinse-aid have been set to the correct value. If using detergents i...
