Fragile dishes A number of household goods are not suitable for machine washing. This can be due to a variety of reasons. Certain materials cannot withstand intense heat; others can be damaged by the dishwasher detergent. Fragile decoration China with decoration on top of the glaze (the goods have a rough feel) should not be machine washed. Plastic Certain types of plastic cannot withstand the high temperature generated in machine dishwashing. Protect plastic goods Select a program with a low temperature.

When you have started the machine, the display window shows how much of the programme time remains. This time can vary a little from one occasion to another depending on the temperature of the inlet water, the amount of dishes, the ambient temperature, etc.
