4.3 General warnings and recommendations
Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following
recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading.
There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is
necessary to take their characteristics into account.
Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to:
•
remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc. which may clog the filter or damage
the wash pump.
•
soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate removal, then
load them into the LOWER BASKET.
There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the baskets
since this only wastes water.
Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results.
WARNING!
•
Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the
rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle.
•
Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms
or the wash pump.
•
Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening
facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
•
Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other.
•
Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and
break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch.
MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
•
Wooden dishes, pots or pans:
these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures.
•
Handcrafted items:
these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high
water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them.
•
Plastic dishes:
these are not heat resistant and may lose their shape. Heat resistant plastic
dishes must be washed in the upper basket.
•
Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass:
these tend to stain.
•
Aluminium dishes:
items made from anodised aluminium may lose their colour.
•
Silverware:
silver items may stain.
•
Glass and crystal:
in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in the dishwasher.
However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after
many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive
program available.
•
Decorated items:
the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to
withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colours may fade after a great many
washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at
a time for approximately one month.
