For best washing results:
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak
very heavily soiled pots and pans.
Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. up-
side-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the
water drains off easily.
Long items of cutlery such as ladles, carving knives
etc. should be positioned horizontally in the upper
basket.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible;
correct arrangement of the items will give better
washing results.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged so that they do not move
during washing.
Operating your dishwasher economically
and with regard for the environment
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every
meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before wash-
ing.
If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see
Programme Chart on the following pages), so that any
food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while
you are waiting to run the complete wash programme.
If you use the modern «compact» powders containing
enzymes, we recommend that you select a “Bio 50°C”
programme in place of the “Normal 65°C” programme.
Select an economic programme when the baskets are
not very full and/or when the dishes are not very
soiled, following the instructions given in the “Pro-
gramme chart”.
Select an “Economy Drying” or “No Drying”.
Drying will obviously be less effective in this case.
You will improve drying results by leaving the dish-
washer door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as soon
as the programme finishes.
If you find that drying results are acceptable even
without rinse aid, there is no need to use this product.
Dishwasher performance will not be affected.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
The following should not be washed in the dishwasher:
Cutlery or dishes with wooden or horn handles or
glued parts.
Handmade items, wooden objects, antiques or hand-
painted china.
Certain types of decoration can discolour when
washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed
dishwasher-proof, should be washed by hand. You
are advised to place them in the upper basket and to
select a delicate programme.
Certain types of glass can also become opaque after
being washed several times in a dishwasher.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cut-
lery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the
others.
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other
items.
Aluminium tends to go black; copper, pewter and
brass tend to stain.
Caution: You are advised not to load very small
items which can fall through the baskets.
Note: When buying new dishes, ensure that they are
dishwasher-proof.
