Utensils
Not suitable
Cutlery and utensils made of wood.
Fragile decorative glasses,
hand-crafted and antique utensils.
These decorative items are not
dishwasher-proof.
Plastic parts sensitive to hot water.
Copper and tin utensils.
Utensils which are soiled with ash,
wax, lubricating grease or ink.
Absorbent materials such as sponges
and cloths.
Aluminium and silver parts have a
tendency to discolour and fade during the
wash cycle. Even some types of glass
(e.g. crystal glass objects) may turn cloudy
after many wash cycles.
Recommendation:
In future buy utensils which are identified
as dishwasher-proof.
Damage to glassware and other
dishes
Possible causes:
type of glass or manufacturing process
chemical composition of detergent
water temperature and duration of
dishwasher programme.
Suggested remedy:
Use glassware or porcelain dishes that
have been marked ’dishwasher–proof’
by the manufacturer.
Use a mild detergent that is described
as ’kind to dishes’. If necessary, seek
further information from detergent
manufacturers.
Select a programme with as low a
temperature and as short a duration as
possible.
To prevent damage, take glass and
cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon
as possible after the programme has
ended.
Loading the dishwasher
Remove large food remnants.
It is not necessary to rinse them off
under running water.
When loading the dishwasher, ensure
that
D
all utensils are secure and cannot
fall over.
D
the openings of all receptacles are
face down.
D
curved or indented utensils are at
an incline, allowing water to drain.
D
the two spray arms can rotate freely.
Very small items should not be washed in
the dishwasher as they could easily fall out
of the baskets.
Removing the dishes
To prevent water dripping from the top
basket onto the dishes in the lower basket,
we recommend that you empty the lower
basket first and then the top basket.
