4. General information on washing glasses
Glass drinking vessels are hygienic and quick and easy to clean. In order to get the most out
of your glasses, you should observe the following important points for handling glass:
What to look for when buying glasses
-
The dimple in the base of the glass should be as small as possible.
-
Do not choose glasses with thick rims, as these prevent the water film from draining off
properly after washing.
-
Thick bases (e.g. for weissbier glasses) take a long time to cool down and can easily lead
to breakages.
-
Extremely tall, thin glasses are always more difficult to clean than normal-sized glasses.
Important features of glass racks
-
Winterhalter Gastronom glass racks are designed in such a way that the glasses are
washed at a slight angle. This intensifies the rinsing effect and enables the water to run out
of the dimple in the base more easily.
-
Glass racks are made of plastic or plastic-coated wire so as not to damage the glasses.
-
Never use damaged glass racks. If the plastic coating shows signs of damage, replace the
rack.
Points to observe in glasswashing machines
-
Never wash glasses in a dishwashing machine, as the higher temperatures inside the
dishwasher will eventually corrode the glass, leading to cracks and opaqueness.
-
The optimal temperatures for washing glasses are as follows:
Wash: 58°C
Rinse: 65°C
-
Never clean ashtrays in the glasswashing machine!
