If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with

ADVICE AND TIPS
TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the crock-
ery 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 be-
cause 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 tempera-
tures.
• 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 manufacturer
will contribute to energy and water savings. Information on correct
loading of tableware can be found in
LOADING THE RACKS
chapter.
• In case of partial loading it is recommended to use dedicated wash
options if available (Half load/ Zone Wash, Multizone), 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.
