[. . . ] The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C. By choosing the Bio-programme you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents. As phosphates have water softening properties, we suggest you add salt to the salt container even if the hardness of your water is as low as 4 °dh (7 °TH). This will avoid lime deposits on crockery and the inner tub. PBR08GB 65 C B 65 4 3 BR04 A Caution: Do not put liquid detergent into the rinse aid compartment Use of Detergent Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes, except for the Rinse and Hold programme, load the detergent in the dispenser. Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Unsuitable detergents (such as those for washing by hand) do not contain the right ingredients for machine washing and hamper correct functioning of the machine. To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D). 8 M M IN AX All the programmes with prewash required a small extra amount of detergent of approximately 5 g to be poured over the dispenser's lid as shown in the picture. 1 21 Loading your Machine Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food from the plates (small bones, toothpicks, fish bones, scraps of meat and vegetables, fruit skins etc. ) to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing performance. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. Use of the Lower Basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates (up to 27 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cutlery etc. Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely. The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls. To lower the prongs: slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see picture); to bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again. UI18 Use of the Upper Basket The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these should be arranged as shown in the pictures. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside-down in the raised cupracks. UI11 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 US08 IEC 436 / DIN 44990 UI12 Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upward. Place teaspoons and other small cutlery on special cutlery rack on one side of the cutlery basket. UI08 US07 The cup-rack on the left folds upwards to increase your loading flexibility. Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely. PCE09GB 9 Adjusting the Height of the Upper Basket If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position as follows: A Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outward and slide the basket out. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position. RC01 When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the raised cup racks. HELPFUL HINTS For Best Washing Results: Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans. Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily. Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible; correct arrangement of the items will give better washing results. Light items (plastic bowls etc. ) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so that they do not move during washing. You will improve drying results by leaving the dishwasher door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as soon as the programme finishes. Items not Suitable for Dishwashers The following should not be washed in the dishwasher: Cutlery or dishes with wooden or horn handles or glued parts. Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher. Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher-proof, should be washed by hand. You are advised to place them in the upper basket and to select a delicate programme. Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being washed several times in a dishwasher.
