Preparation

Items not suitable for washing in the 

dishwasher

 

Never wash dishes soiled by cigarette 

ash, candle remnants, polish, dyestuff, 

chemicals, etc. in your dishwasher.

 

Do not wash iron alloy items in the 

dishwasher. It can get corroded or 

leave stains on other items.

 

Do not wash cutlery with wooden or 

bone stems, glued pieces, or pieces 

that are not resistant to heat, as well 

as copper and tin-plated containers in 

the dishwasher.

C

Decorative prints of chinaware 

as well as aluminum and silver 

items may get discoloured 

or tarnished after washing 

in the dishwasher just as it 

happens in handwashing as 

well. Some delicate glass types 

and crystals may become dull in 

time. We strongly recommend 

you to check if the tableware 

you are going to purchase is 

suitable for washing especially 

in the dishwasher.

Placing the dishes into the 

dishwasher

You can use your dishwasher in the 

optimum way with respect to energy 

consumption and washing and drying 

performance only if you place the dishes in 

an orderly way.

 

Wipe away any coarse food 

remnants (bones, seeds, etc.) on the 

dishes before placing them in the 

dishwasher.

 

Place thin, narrow pieces in the middle 

sections of baskets if possible.

 

There are two separate baskets in 

which you can place your dishes in the 

dishwasher. Place the heavily soiled 

and bigger items in the lower basket 

and smaller, delicate and light items in 

the upper basket.

 

Place the hollowed dishes such as 

bowls, glasses and pans upside down 

in the dishwasher. Thus, accumulation 

of water in deep hollows is prevented.

A

To prevent possible injuries, 

always place the sharp and 

pointed dishes such as service 

fork, bread knife, etc. upside 

down so as their pointed ends 

will face down or they will lie 

horizontally in the dish basket.

Unload dishes in the lower basket first and 

then the dishes in the upper basket.
