How to look after and protect the dishes you hold dear

Savings are easy

Using your electric household appliances

■Almostallsilverwarecanbe cleanedinadishwasher. There are two exceptions: old silverware and silverware decorated with an oxidising agent. Hot water can loosen the handles on old silverware ad wear off the decorations on the other.

Never let silverware come into contact with other metals: you will thus avoid stains and blackening

Apart from

making you save time and energy, your dishwasher disinfects your dishes, washing

them at a high

temperature.

Maximum load.

To optimise consumption levels, try to use the dishwasher with a full load only. If it takes quite some time to fill up your dishwasher, use the soak cycle to avoid the formation of bad odours and caked- on food.

The right wash cycle.

Select the most suitable wash cycle for the type of load you have placed in the dishwasher. The choice of wash cycle depends on the type of dishes to wash and on how dirty they are. To select the right wash cycle, please consult the wash cycle table on page 6.
