Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any ob-
ject that can absorb water may not be
washed in the dishwasher.
• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove all left over food and deb-
ris.
– Soften remnants of burnt food in
pans
• When loading the dishes and cutlery,
please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede
the rotation of the spray arms.
– Load hollow items such as cups,
glasses, pans, etc. with the opening
downwards so that water cannot
collect in the container or a deep
base.
– Dishes and items of cutlery must
not lie inside one another, or cover
each other.
– To avoid damage to glasses, they
must not touch.
– Lay small objects in the cutlery bas-
ket.
• Plastic items and pans with non stick
coatings have a tendency to retain
water drops; these items will not dry
as well as porcelain and steel items.
• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must
be loaded in the upper basket and ar-
ranged so they do not move.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes
are not suitable: are of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or
mother-of-pearls handles.
• Plastic items that are not heat resist-
ant.
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are
not temperature resistant.
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
• Pewter or copper items.
• Lead crystal glass.
• Steel items prone to rusting.
• Wooden platters.
• Items made from synthetics fibres.
• Only wash stoneware in the
dishwasher if it is specially marked as
being dishwasher-safe by the
manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine
washed frequently.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a
tendency to discolour during wash-
ing: Residues, e.g. egg white, egg
yolk and mustard often cause disco-
louring and staining on silver. There-
fore always clean left-overs from silver
immediately, if it is not to be washed
straight after use.
