Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high temperatures, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent.
Use caution with, for example, handmade items, China, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminum, wood, and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
China
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Use rinse aid to improve wash and dry times. Also use rinse aid to achieve clear and spotless results.
Hand-painted glassware, as well as antique and very fragile items, should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the silver can become discolored.
In order to avoid marks and tarnishing, separate dishes made from different metals, such as silver, stainless steel, and aluminum.
Aluminum
Aluminum can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminum pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles may loosen.
Loading affects the results
Load the dishes carefully to ensure the best washing and drying results with the lowest possible energy and water consumption. Give your dishwasher the best chance to reach and clean all surfaces, as well as to dry the dishes as thoroughly as possible.
• All dirty surfaces should face in and down.
• Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
• Place the upper basket in its highest position when dishwashing very large plates.
• Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the top cutlery tray.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher includes a top cutlery tray, an upper basket, and a lower basket with a cutlery basket.
The basket appearance may differ depending on the configuration.

Adaptable power zones
The dishwasher's two adaptable power zones can be opened in two different positions or turned off.
For vases and bottles
For pots and pans
For higher spray pressure in the lower spray arm
Default: Off
Leave the power zones open if you want an increased water flow where, for example, you have placed pots and pans or vases and bottles. Turn the dishwasher's power zones off if you want greater spray pressure in the lower spray arm.
Washing large plates
You can adjust the lower basket for plates with a diameter of 9 3/4-15 1/3" (25-39 cm) by moving the adjustable plate supports and their fixtures to increase the distance between the tine rows.
Accessory

The cutlery basket is best placed in the middle at the front of the lower basket to best utilize dishwashing performance from the unique spray zone intended for the cutlery basket.
WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed horizontally in the dishwasher's special cutlery baskets.
Fold-down section for small items
The cutlery basket has a fold-down section in the middle for small items or small shafts (such as electric whisk attachments).
