SOME PRACTICAL HINTS .... To carry out a wash programme with a full load of dishes
load the machine correctly after each meal and do a cold pre-wash between each load
to get rid of stains and remove the larger residues of food.
HOW TO GET GOOD WASH RESULTS
1) Place the dishes face downwards.
2) Try to place the dishes in such a way that they are not touching one another. If they are
loaded properly you will get better results.
3) Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher remove any remaining food (bones,
shells, pieces of meat or vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, cigarette ash etc. that
could clog up the outflow and the washing arm jets.
4) After loading the dishes, check that the washing arm can rotate freely.
5) Pans and other dishes that have particularly stubborn food particles or remnants of
burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher detergent.
6) To wash silver properly:
a) - rinse the silver immediately after use especially if it has been used for
mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.
b) - do not sprinkle detergent onto it.
c) - keep it seperate from other metals.
WHAT TO DO IF ... You want to stop the dishwasher to put in more dishes whilst it is in
the middle of a wash. Open the door, put in the dishes, and close the door, the machine
will start up again automatically.
WHAT NOT TO WASH ...
It should also be remembered that not all dishes are suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
We advise again using the dishwasher to wash items in thermoplastic, cutlery with wooden
or plastic handles, saucepans with wooden handles, items in aluminium, crystal, leaded
glass unless otherwise stated.
Certain decorations may fade. It is therefore a good idea before loading the whole batch
to wash just one of the items first so as to be sure that others like it will not fade.
It is also a good idea not to put silver cultery with non-stainless steel handles into the
dishwasher as there could be a chemical reaction between them.
NB : when buying new crockery or cutlery always make sure that they are suitable for
washing in a dishwasher.
AFTER USE - After each wash, close the tap which supplies the water to the dishwasher and
press the On/Off button to the Off position.
If the dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, the following precautions are
advisable:
1 - carry out a wash programme, but with no dishes, to degrease the machine,
2 - pull the plug out,
3 - turn off the water supply tap,
4 - fill the rinse aid dispenser,
5 - leave the door slightly ajar,
6 - leave the inside of the machine clean,
7 - if the machine is to be left in a place where the temperature is below 0°C, the water left
in the dispenser could freeze.
Therefore, it is advisable to raise the temperature above 0°C, approximately 24 hours
before using the machine again.
