Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine the detergent, salt and rinse aid all in one.
If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the relevant dispenser to prevent

 Loading the Dishwasher
Load examples
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the
larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming
clogged, which results in reduced performance. Top Rack Top Rack
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely
hard to remove, we recommend that they be allowed to
soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need
for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the racks to facilitate loading the dishwasher.

How to Use the Lower Rack

We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean
items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes
and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides
of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the
top spray arm.
Lower Rack Lower Rack
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top
down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow
out.

- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket

with the handles at the bottom; If the rack has side
baskets, the spoons should be loaded individually into
the appropriate slots (see fig. A)
Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizon-
tal position at the front of the upper rack.

How to Use the Upper Rack

The upper rack 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 do not
get moved by the spray of water.

How to adjust the Upper rack ...

The top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights Fig. A
(top and bottom). To adjust the rack, open up the tabs
that lock the guides and pull out the rack. Arrange the
rack with the back wheels in either the top or bottom
position and then insert it along the guides until the front
wheels are on as well. Close the tabs to lock the rack in
place (see Fig. F)
