How to load the dishwasher

The illustration shows the machine loaded with five stan-
dard place settings. Your own dishes are not likely to be
identical to this load, but if you follow the advice below
we are sure you will be pleased with the results.

•  Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down.

•  Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc.) so that the

water can run off when drying.

•  Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each

other. This is particularly important in regard to the
cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. simply cannot be
properly washed. The water must get at all the soiled 
surfaces.

•  Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other

items do not protrude through the openings in the
basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating.

•  Never put silver and stainless steel objects together.

When these metals come into contact with each other
a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver.

•  China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may

not be suitable for machine washing as the colours
may fade and lose their lustre. The same applies to
cutlery with wooden or plastic handles.

Make sure you always buy articles that are
dishwasher proof.

•  Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you 

are in doubt as to whether your plasticware can be 
machine washed, we suggest you check by washing 
a single item or else wash them by hand.

•  Aluminium becomes dull and tarnished when machine

washed. The machine gets it clean, but at the expense
of its appearance.

• When washing delicate items, select the lower wash

temperature.

•  Substances such as ketchup containing strong

colouring agents can cause temporary discolouration 
in the machine.
