Loading the dishwasher
Note
^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, lubricating grease and paint cause damage to the dishwasher.
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 it is 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.
^Deep 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 rotating the spray arms.
^Make sure that small items do not fall through the holders in the baskets. Small items, e.g. lids, should there- fore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket.
Some foodstuffs may contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ketchup. Plastic items in the dish- washer may discolour if large quan- tities of these foodstuffs find their way into the appliance on the crock- ery. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolouration.
When the dishwasher is being loaded food and drink residue may drip onto the sides of the dish- washer door.
These surfaces are outside the wash cabinet and are not accessed by water from the spray arms.
Food residue should therefore be wiped away before the dishwasher door is closed.
