Helpful hints and tips

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

•Before loading the dishes, you should:

–Remove all left over food and debris.

–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 non stick coat- ings have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

•Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes

are not suitable:

•Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of- pearls handles.

•Plastic items that are not heat resistant.

•Older cutlery with glued parts that are not tem- perature resistant.

•Bonded cutlery items or dishes.

•Pewter or copper items.

•Lead crystal glass.

•Steel items prone to rusting.

•Wooden platters.

•Items made from synthetics fibres.

are of limited suitability:

•Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specially 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 dis- colouring and staining on silver. Therefore al- ways clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.

Loading cutlery and dishes

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take sauce- pan, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery ect. Service dishes and large lids should be ar- ranged around the edge of the basket, en- suring that the spray arms can turn freely.

The rows of prongs in the lower basket can lie flat to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
