Loading the dishwasher
For best performance of your dishwasher, follow the loading guidelines in this manual.
ATTENTION: Before loading the dishwasher baskets:
It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water before you put them into
the dishwasher. However, we recommend you scrape off any large amounts of leftover
food and soften remnants of burnt food in pots and pans.
Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:
• Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. should be placed upside
down so water cannot collect in the container or in a deep base.
• Curved items, or items with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so water can run off.
• All utensils should be stacked securely so they cannot tip over.
• All dishes and utensils should be placed in a way so the spray arms can rotate
freely during washing.
• Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall
out of the baskets and obstruct moving parts.
• Dishes and items of cutlery should not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
• WARNING! Long bladed knives stored upright are a potential hazard! Always position
these and other sharp cutlery items horizontally on the cup/cutlery racks.
• Do not overload your dishwasher; it will hold a maximum of 12 standard place settings.
This is important for better washing results and lowers energy consumption.
• WARNING! Do not pull out the upper and lower basket at the same time, which
can lead to the appliance tipping forward.
Protecting your glass and tableware
Much of today’s tableware is dishwasher safe. However, not everything can be
washed safely in a dishwasher. The chemical composition of your dishwasher deter-
gent or the water temperature and duration of the wash program may adversely affect
some materials. To protect your special cutlery, glass and tableware from damage,
select a wash program with as low a temperature as possible (see pages 14-15 for
program details).
We recommend you do not wash in a dishwasher the items listed below, and take
special care with items deemed of limited suitability. And when buying new dishes,
glassware, porcelain or cutlery, look for products labelled dishwasher safe.
Not suitable for the dishwasher: cutlery with wooden, china or mother-of-pearl
handles; plastic items that are not heat resistant; older cutlery with glued parts that
are not temperature resistant; bonded cutlery items or dishes; pewter or copper items;
lead crystal glass; steel items subject to corrosion (rusting); wooden platters.
Of limited suitability: some types of glasses can become dull with frequent machine
washing; items made of silver and aluminium tend to discolour from machine washing;
glazed patterns may fade with frequent machine washing.
