Dish washing tips
General notes
▪
Do not overload the baskets.
▪
Dishes, pots and pans with heavily burned-on food debris stuck to them should be soaked
in water first.
▪
Load beverage and food containers such as cups, glasses, pots, etc. with the opening fa-
cing downwards so that the water can drain off.
▪
When loading, ensure glasses do not touch so as to prevent damage and water spots.
▪
When cleaning range hood grease filters, select the
programme and use the max-
imum amount of detergent.
Dishes
Not all table- and kitchenware are dishwasher safe.
▪
Clean wooden or plastic parts that are sensitive to damage from heat and detergent suds
by hand.
▪
Pottery has a tendency to crack or chip.
▪
The printing on glass and porcelain is hard-wearing only to a point and eventually over
time can wear off.
▪
Glassware, depending on the type and the detergent being used, can become cloudy.
Check with your glassware supplier as to whether your glassware is dishwasher safe.
▪
Stress and tension in thick cut crystal glasses and dishes can cause cracking.
▪
Do not wash dishes with adhesive labels on them. Adhesive labels can come off and clog
up the filter system.
▪
Objects made of silver, copper and tin tend to discolour, turning brown or black.
▪
Spots tend to form on aluminium. Wash aluminium separately or by hand.
