Loading the dishwasher
Notes
Remove coarse food residues from crockery.
There is no need to rinse items under running water.
Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and is distributed in the wash cabinet. Wax, sand, grease and paint cause damage to the dish‐ washer.
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed:
–Do not place crockery and cutlery in‐ side other pieces where they may be concealed.
–Load the crockery so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that they get properly cleaned.
–Make sure that all items are securely positioned.
–Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket.
–Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g. cham‐ pagne glasses, should be placed in the centre of the basket to ensure better water coverage.
–Wide based items should be placed at an angle so that water can run off them freely.
–The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets. If in doubt, test for free movement by manually rotat‐ ing the spray arms.
–Make sure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the bas‐ kets.
Small items, e.g. lids, should there‐ fore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket (depending on model).
Some foodstuffs may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup. Plastic items in the dish‐ washer may discolour if large quanti‐ ties of these foodstuffs find their way into the dishwasher on the crockery. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration. Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish‐ washer may also cause plastic items to discolour.
