Fragile dishes A number of household goods are not suit- able for machine washing. There can be many reasons for this. Certain materials cannot withstand intense heat, others can be damaged by the dishwasher detergent. Fragile decoration China with decoration on top of the glaze (the article has a rough feel) should not be machine washed.

Cleaning Cleaning The dishwasher’s inner container is made of stainless steel and is kept clean through normal use. However, if you have calciferous (hard) water, lime deposits can form in the dishwasher. In this case, run a normal wash program with two tablespoons of citric acid in the dishwasher detergent compartment.
If you still cannot start the machine and a humming noise can be heard, then the overfilling protection has been activated. • Shutoff the water • Remove the plug from the wall socket • Call Service CAUTION! Do not forget to replace the pump plug. Spray arms The holes and bearings can occasionally become clogged.
Rinse aid Pour in rinse aid Rinse aid, helps quicken the drying process. There is a refill indicator in the middle of the dispenser (see picture). If the refill indicator is totally black, there is suffi- cient rinse aid. However, if the indicator has a more transparent appearance, you need to top up with rinse aid.
Salt Pour in salt Before using a dishwasher with a water softening filter, you must fill the salt com- partment with salt. Use coarse salt or spe- cial salt for dishwashers. It is best to fill with salt when you are about to do a wash, as the dishwasher needs to be rinsed out immediately after filling.
Settings Setting water hardness If you have a dishwasher with a water softener, you may need to change the setting de- pending on the water’s hardness level. Phone your local Water Board to check the water hardness in your area. The dishwasher is set for low water hardness on delivery. PROGRAM 1.
