Hints and tips
To save energy
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
For best washing results
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans.
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.

The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher proof):
-Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts
-bronze cutlery
-saucepans with wooden handles
-aluminium ware
-crystal ware
-leaded glass

Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher.

brass tend to stain.
If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item. When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher proof.
