To save energy
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal
and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing. (Follow
the instructions given in "Instruction Book" - Part 2).
If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see
"Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps do
not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run
the complete wash programme.
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
Select an economic programme when dishes are not very
soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing
programmes" chart.
For best washing and drying results
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very
heavily soiled pots and pans.
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water
drains off easily.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
The following items should not be washed in the
dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher
proof):
- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or
glued parts
- bronze cutlery
- saucepans with wooden handles
- aluminium ware
- crystal ware
- leaded glass
- plastic items
- antique or fine decorated china
Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed
in a dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed
dishwasher proof should be washed by hand.
Certain types of glass can also become opaque
after being washed several times in a dishwasher.
A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery
and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash
together.
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items.
Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and
brass tend to stain.
If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that they
are dishwasher proof.
