Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.

●Before loading the dishes, you should:

-Remove large left-overs.

-Soften remnants of burnt food in pans

●When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

-Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms .

-Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.

-Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.

-To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.

-Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

●Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes

are not suitable:

-Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearl handles

-Plastic items that are not heat resistant

-Older cutlery with glued parts that is not temperature resistant

-Bonded cutlery items or dishes

-Pewter or copper items

-Lead crystal glass

-Steel items subject to rusting

-Wooden platters

-Items made from synthetic fibres

are of limited suitability:

-Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.

-Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently

-Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Residues, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver.

Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.

-Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

The two rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.
