• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove all left over food and debris.
– Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please
note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the
rotation of the spray arms.
– Load hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc. with the opening downwards so
that water cannot collect in the container
or a deep base.
– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie
inside one another, or cover each other.
– To avoid damage to glasses, they must
not touch.
– Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and pans with non stick coat-
ings have a tendency to retain water drops;
these items will not dry as well as porcelain
and steel items.
• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loa-
ded in the upper basket and arranged so
they do not move.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable:
are of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-
pearls handles.
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not tempera-
ture resistant.
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
• Pewter or copper items.
• Lead crystal glass.
• Steel items prone to rusting.
• Wooden platters.
• Items made from synthetics fibres.
• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is
specially marked as being dishwasher-safe by the
manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to dis-
colour during washing: Residues, e.g. egg white,
egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and
staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs
from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed
straight after use.
