For washing in the dishwasher, the following cutlery/dishes
Cutlery with wooden, bone China or
mother-of-pearl 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
Crystal glass
Steel items subject to rusting
Wooden platters

Some types of glasses can become
dull after a large number of washes
Silver and aluminum parts have a
tendency to discolour during washing
Glazed patterns may fade if machine
washed frequently
Not suitable
Limited suitability
Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with the opening facing downwards so that water cannot
collect in the container.
Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket.
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption
of energy.
Recommendations
Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof.
Use a mild detergent that is described as 'kind to dishes'. If necessary, seek further information from the
detergent manufacturers.
For particular items, select a program with as low a temperature as possible.
To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has
ended.
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.
Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.
It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:
1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
2. Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
3. All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
4. All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
NOTE:
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket
Attention before or after loading the Dishwasher Baskets
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the lower
basket first and then the upper basket.
