Fragile dishes
Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons.
Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others can be damaged
by dishwashing detergent.
Exercise caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration,
crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic.
Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough)
should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid. You
will also achieve a better dishwashing result with clear and spotless
dishes.
Hand-painted glassware, as well as antique and very fragile items,
should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the
silver can become discoloured.
Aluminium
Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good
quality aluminium pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some
of the shine will be lost.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles
may loosen.
Points to consider
• All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!
• Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water
will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
• Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket;
place them in the top cutlery tray.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.
The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with a top cutlery tray, an upper basket
and a lower basket with a cutlery basket.
The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher
setup.
Top cutlery tray
The top cutlery tray has space for cutlery, ladles, whisks, serving cutlery
and similar items.
Raising the top cutlery tray
1. Pull out the top cutlery tray.
2. Pull forward the two locking handles on either side to raise the top
cutlery tray.
Lowering the top cutlery tray
1. Make sure the upper basket is in the lowest position.
2. Pull out the top cutlery tray.
3. Slide the two locking handles on either side downwards and
backwards to lower the top cutlery tray.

Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper
basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards! Wine
