Items that should not be washed in the dishwasher
•
Wooden items, objects with wooden or horn handles or
glued-on parts.
•
Items made from aluminium, copper, brass, pewter or tin.
•
Items made from plastic that is not heat-resistant.
•
Antique or hand-painted porcelain.
•
Antique silver. Silver that is not antique may, however, be
washed in the dishwasher using a delicate wash cycle,
provided that it does not come into contact with other
metals.
We recommend the use of crockery which is dishwasher
safe.
* Only available in selected models.
** The number and position may vary.
Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from
the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms
can rotate freely.
Lower rack
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls,
cutlery, etc. as seen in the
Loading examples.
Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the
rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper
sprayer arm.
Some dishwasher models are fitted
with tip-up sections, which can be
used in a vertical position when
arranging plates or in a horizontal
position when arranging pans and
salad bowls.
Cutlery basket
The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the
dishwasher model.
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be
placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards,
or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up
compartments on the upper rack.
The grille element* may be positioned in the basket to separa-
te the cutlery: place the pieces of cutlery into the appropriate
compartments with the handles at the bottom.
Upper rack
Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery: glasses,
tea and coffee cups, saucers, small salad bowls, saucepans
and small saucepans that are not too soiled, using the
Loading
examples
as a guide.
•
Lightweight crockery: position these dishes so that they
will not be moved by the jets of water.
•
Mugs and cups: place these on the tip-up
compartments**.
•
Long sharp knives and serving utensils: place these on
the tip-up compartments**.
Adjusting the height of the upper rack
In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper
rack may be moved to a higher or lower level.
The height of the upper rack should ideally be adjusted
WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.
Never lift or lower the rack on one side only.
