Dishwashing tips
Tableware
Not all table- and kitchenware are dishwasher safe.
▪
Handcrafted objects and wooden or plastic parts that are sensitive to heat
or detergent suds should be cleaned by hand.
▪
The printing on glass and porcelain is hard-wearing only to a point and
eventually over time can wear off.
▪
Pottery has a tendency to crack or chip.
▪
Objects made of silver, copper and tin have a tendency to discolour, turning
brown or black.
▪
Stress and tension in thick cut crystal glasses and dishes can cause crack-
ing.
▪
Depending on the type of glassware and the detergent being used, perman-
ent clouding may result. Check with your glassware supplier as to whether
your glassware is dishwasher safe.
▪
Spots tend to form on aluminium. This can affect other items being washed
(spots on porcelain). Aluminium should therefore ideally be washed separ-
ately.
▪
Tableware with adhesive labels should not be washed in the dishwasher.
The adhesive labels can clog up the filter system.
General note
▪
To prevent damage to glass and water spots, arrange glasses in such a
way that they do not touch.
▪
Do not overload the baskets.
▪
Load beverage and food containers such as cups, glasses, pots, etc. with
the opening facing downwards so that the water can drain off.
▪
Save energy, water and detergent by loading the appliance to capacity.
▪
When washing range hood grease filters use the maximum amount of deter-
gent.
