Not suitable for the dishwasher
What you should not put into the dishwasher
Cutlery and tableware manufactured in whole or part from wood.They become faded and unsightly in
appearance.Furthermore,the adhesives that are used are not suitable for the temperature that occur
inside the dishwasher.Delicate decorative glassware and vases,special antique or irreplaceable china.
The decorative patterns on such items will not be dishwasher-proof.
Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and pewter utensils are also not suitable.
Decorative patterns printed or painted onto the surface of crockery, glasses, etc.,aluminium and silver
items tend to become discoloured or faded if washed in the diswasher. Some types of glass can become
opaque in appearance after they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent
materials, such as sponges and towels,should never be placed in the dishwasher.
Our recommendation
In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed as being dishwasher-proof.
Important
Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by tobacco ash, wax,
Iubricating grease or paint, should not be put in the dishwasher.
Possible causes
type of glass or manufacturing process
chemical composition of detergent
water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme.
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked ‘dishwasher-proof’ by the manufacture.
Use a mild detergent that is described as ‘kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek further information from
detergent manufacturers.
Select a programme with a low temperature and a short duration as possible.
To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the
programme has ended.

Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food
particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which re-
sults in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard
to remove, we recommend that they are soaked before washed.
This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.

How to use the lower rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items
on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls,
as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the
racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.
(see fig.D)
Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with
the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the
spoons should be located individually into the appropriate
slots. Especially long utensils should be placed in the hori-
zontal position at the front of the upper rack.
The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.E) so that
only one section may be used when the silverware load is
light. This also makes space for additional pots and pans
and it can also be placed in the upper rack.
Folding spikes
To improve stacking of pots and pans , the spikes can be folded
down (see fig.F).

points must be loaded in the basket

horizontal position.
