Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that
can absorb water must not be washed in the
appliance.
• Remove all left over food and debris from
dishes.
• Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.
• Dishes and cutlery must not impede the
rotation of the spray arms.
• Load hollow items with the opening
downwards so that water cannot collect in
the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside
one another or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not
touch.
• Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings
have a tendency to retain water drops. These
items will not dry as well as porcelain and
steel items.
• Light items (e.g. plastic bowls) must be loaded
in the upper basket and arranged so they do
not move.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable:
are of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-
pearls handles.
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not
temperature resistant.
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
• Pewter or copper items.
• Lead crystal glass.
• Steel items prone to rusting.
• Wooden platters.
• Items made from synthetic fibres.
• Only wash stoneware if it is specially marked as
being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing: Residue, e.g. egg white,
egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and
staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs
from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed
straight after use.
