User instructions

Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot
tip over or ob struct the rotation of the spray arms during the

and ob struct the spray arms or the wash pump.
•
Containers such as cups, b owls, glasses and pots should always
b e loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities
at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
•
Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover
one other.
•
Do not place glasses too close together b ecause they may knock
against each other and b reak, or there might b e staining at
the point where they touch.
MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:

Wooden dishes, pots or pans:

Glass and crystal:
in general, glass and crystal ob jects can

and crystal may b ecome dull and lose their clearness after
many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend
using the least aggressive program availab le.

are generally ab le to withstand washing in the
dishwasher, although the colours may fade after a great many
washes. If in doub t as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisab le
to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.
