before operating

to open the door

•  Pull the door handle.

•  If the door is opened during operation, first open the door slightly to avoid water spillage.

When purchasing new crockery and cutlery, please make sure they are dishwasher-proof. Some 

items are not suitable for dishwashers.
•  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.

to close the door

•  After loading the dishes, push the baskets fully into the dishwasher.

•  Lift the door upwards and push until it clicks into position.

•  Do not slam the dishwasher door.
