Before Operating
To Open the Door
• Pull the door handle.
• If the door is opened during operation, rst open the door slightly to avoid water spillage.
• Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts may discolour and fade. The glue
used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being
washed in a dishwasher.
• Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware are also not suitable for
dishwashers.
• Plastic items (e.g. tupperware) which are not heat resistant may melt or loose shape due to
the high temperature in the dishwasher.
• Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items may discolour or become matt.
• Clouding may occur on glasses and delicate glassware after frequent washing. Do not wash
delicate glassware or glassware containing lead crystal, in a dishwasher. Wash delicate
glassware by hand instead.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Residues like egg
white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore, please
clean the residues from silver immediately after use.

• After loading the dishes, push the baskets fully into the dishwasher.
• Lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position.
