WARNING!
 Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot
tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing
cycle.
 Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and
obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump.
 Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be
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 because they may knock
against each other and break, or there might be 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: these may be damaged by the high
washing temperatures.
 Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a
dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the
detergents used may damage them.
 Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the
upper basket.
 Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to
stain.

Aluminium dishes: items made from anodised aluminium may lose
their colour.

Silverware: silver items may stain.
 Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be
washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and
crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many
washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least
aggressive program available.

Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are
generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the
colours may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the
fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a
time for approximately one month.
