Notes
Remove coarse food residues from
crockery.
There is no need to rinse items under
running water.
Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or
paint in the dishwasher. Ash does
not dissolve and is distributed in the
wash cabinet. Wax, sand, lubricating
grease and paint cause damage to
the dishwasher.
Crockery can be loaded anywhere in
the baskets, but the following notes
should be observed:
– Do not place crockery and cutlery in‐
side other pieces where they may be
concealed.
– Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures that
they get properly cleaned.
– Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
– Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. must be inverted in the
basket.
– Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g. cham‐
pagne glasses, should be placed in
the centre of the basket to ensure
better water coverage.
– Wide based items should be placed
at an angle so that water can run off
them freely.
– The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or hang
through the baskets. If in doubt, test
for free movement by manually rotat‐
ing the spray arms.
– Make sure that small items cannot
fall through the holders in the bas‐
kets.
Small items, e.g. lids, should there‐
fore be placed in the cutlery tray or
cutlery basket (depending on model).
Some foodstuffs may contain natural
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or toma‐
to sauce. Plastic items in the dish‐
washer may discolour if large quanti‐
ties of these foodstuffs find their way
into the dishwasher on the crockery.
The stability of plastic items is not
affected by this discolouration.
Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish‐
washer may also cause plastic items
to discolour.
