Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot
withstand high temperatures, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent.
Use caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper,
tin, aluminum, wood, and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Wash fragile items made of crystal/glass, such as crystal glass from Orrefors, using the gentle
dishwashing program Crystal . Remember to use a small amount of detergent and to place items
so that they do not touch each other during the wash.
Use rinse aid to improve wash and dry times. Also use rinse aid to achieve clear and spotless results.
Hand-painted glassware, as well as antique and very fragile items, should not be washed in a
dishwasher.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the silver can become discolored.
Aluminum
Aluminum can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminum pans can
be washed in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles may loosen.
Loading affects the results
Load the dishes carefully to ensure the best washing and drying results with the lowest possible
energy and water consumption. Give your dishwasher the best chance to reach and clean all surfaces,
as well as to dry the dishes as thoroughly as possible.
•
All dirty surfaces should face in and down!
•
Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
•
Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important
for plastic items.
•
Place the upper basket in its highest position when dishwashing very large plates.
•
Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the top cutlery
tray.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.
The baskets
The dishwasher includes a top cutlery tray, an upper basket, and a lower basket with a cutlery
basket.
The basket appearance may differ depending on the configuration.
