DAILY USE 

TIPS

Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the croc-

kery and empty the glasses. 

You do not need to rinse beforehand 

under running water. 

Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does 

not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing  

downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus 

allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely. 

Warning:

 lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the 

sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery  

basket. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower 

basket because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and  

allow a higher washing performance.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can 

rotate freely.

HYGIENE

To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the 

dishwasher please run a high temperature program at least one 

a month. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the 

loading to clean your appliance.

UNSUITABLE CROCKERY

• 

Wooden crockery and cutlery.

• 

Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique 

crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.

• 

Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high  

temperatures.

• 

Copper and tin crockery.

• 

Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink. 

 

The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces 

can change and fade during the washing process. Some types of 

glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of 

wash cycles too.

DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY

• 

Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufac-

turer as dishwasher safe.

• 

Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery.

• 

Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as 

the wash cycle is over.
