DAILY USE

ADVICE AND TIPS

TIPS

Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crockery 
and empty the glasses.

 

You do not need to rinse beforehand under 

running water.

Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip 
over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards 
and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the 
water to reach every surface and flow freely.

Warning: 

lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the 

sprayer arms from rotating.
Place any small items in the cutlery basket.
Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower basket 
because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher 
washing performance.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can 
rotate freely.

UNSUITABLE CROCKERY

• 

Wooden crockery and cutlery.

• 

Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery. 
Their decorations are not resistant.

• 

Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures.

• 

Copper and tin crockery.

• 

Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.

The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can 
change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. 
crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles too.

DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY

• 

Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as 
dishwasher safe.

• 

Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery

• 

Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash 
cycle is over.

TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING

• 

When the household dishwasher is used according to the manufac-
turer’s instructions, 

washing tableware in a dishwasher usually 

consumes less energy and water than hand dishwashing.

• 

In order to maximize dishwasher efficiency it is recommended to

 

initiate the wash cycle once dishwasher is fully loaded

. Loading 

the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the man-
ufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings. Information 
on correct loading of tableware can be found in Loading chapter.  
In case of partial loading it is recommended to use dedicated wash 
options if available (Half load/ Zone Wash, Multi Zone), fiilling up only 
selected racks. Incorrect loading or overloading the dishwasher may 
increase resources usage (such as water, energy and time, as well as 
increase noise level), reducing cleaning and drying performance. 

• 

Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and 
energy consumption and is not recommended.

HYGIENE

To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the 
dishwasher 

please run a high temperature program at least one a 

month

. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the loading to 

clean your appliance.
