Unsuitable items for dishwashing
Cutlery and utensils made of wood.
Delicate decorative glasses, craft and
antique utensils. These utensils are not
dishwasher-proof.
Plastic parts not resistant to heat.
Copper and tin utensils.
Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax,
lubricating grease or ink.
Aluminium and silver parts have a
tendency to discolour and fade during
during the wash cycle. Some types
of glass (e.g. crystal glass objects) may
turn cloudly after many wash cycles.
Glass and utensil damage Causes:
Glass type and glass production
process.
Chemical composition of the detergent.
Water temperature of the wash
programme.
Recommendation:
Use only glasses and porcelain which the
manufacturer designates as dishwasher-
proof.
Use a detergent which protects utensils.
Take glass and cutlery out of the
dishwasher as soon as possible after the
programme ends.
Unloading the dishwasher
To prevent water from dripping off the
upper basket onto the utensils in the
lower basket, it is recommended to
empty the appliance from the bottom up.
Tip:
Hot utensils are sensitive to shock!
Therefore, when the programme ends, leave
the utensils to cool down in the dishwasher
until they can be handled.
Note:
When the programme ends, water
droplets can still be seen inside the
appliance. This does not affect the drying of
the utensils.
