Making The Most Of Your Machine - Zanussi DW400 Instructions For The Use And Care

Making the most of your Machine
@ Be careful always to load the racks
correctly.
@ It is more economical and efficient to
wash a full load of crockery etc than a
half one, even if you only have to do this
once a day.
@ Load the baskets immediately after
clearing the table. If the crocks ete are
greasy and there are not enough to
justify doing a full cycle, set the machine
to do the Rinse and Hold programme.
@ Once the machine is full, select the
correct programme and wash a load.
@ If you have to buy more crockery, pots
and pans check that they are
«dishwasher proof». This will be marked
on the crockery, on the packing material,
or in the brochure or leaflet. If in doubt
ask the retailer.
@ Silver tableware and cutlery can be
washed safely in the dishwasher but
make sure it is not touching any
stainless steel items. If it is, there could
be a chemical reaction between the two
metals caused by the oxidising effect of
soapy water resulting in spots on the
silver.
As a precaution never put silver and
stainless steel in the same basket.
@ Saucepans and casseroles with burnt
on food should be soaked before you put
them in the machine and the worst of
ee soil should be removed as it soaks
off.
@ Saucepans and casseroles free of burnt
on food can be machine washed very
satisfactorily.
Do Not Put the Following in Your
Dishwasher
@ Cutlery with wooden or horn handles
or glued parts.
@ Saucepans with wooden handles unless
they are sold as dishwasher proof.
© Aluminium ware.
@ Crystal ware.
@ Plastic articles unless they are sold as
dishwasher proof - if you do not know
don't risk it as the plastic may soften
and the article will be distorted and
spoiled.
@ Fine decorated and antique china.
Most modern china has what is known
as underglaze decoration and this is
usually dishwasher proof but you should
always check. Old china and some
modern fine china has overglaze
decorations which can wash off in a
dishwasher so don't take risks if you
have not got the manufacturer's
assurance.
