Preparing Your Dishwasher (Continued)
PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES INTO YOUR BASKET RACKS
Caution! Some items are not safe for use in dishwashers and can be damaged or become discoloured when
washed within a dishwasher. Always check the care information on your utensils and crockery to ensure they are
dishwasher safe.
Note Some items may require washing on a lower temperature program to prevent damage.
Tip! To prevent damage to glass and cutlery, avoid removing it immediately after the program has ended as they
will be at their hottest temperature at this time.
The following items are not suitable for washing within your dishwasher:
•
Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother of pearl handles
•
Plastic items that are not heat resistant
•
Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant
•
Bonded dishes
•
Pewter or copper items
•
Crystal glassware
•
Steel items subject to rusting
•
Wooden platters
•
Items made from synthetic fibres
The following items have limited suitability for washing in your dishwasher:
•
Some types of glassware can become dull after a large number of washes
•
Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing
•
Glazed patterns on ceramics may fade if washed frequently
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LOADING
Before loading your dishes into the dishwasher, please consider:
•
Scraping off any large amounts of residual food on your plates and bowls.
•
Soften any remnants of burnt food in pots or pans.
Note. The features and appearance of your basket racks and cutlery basket may vary slightly by model.
For optimal performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines:
•
Items such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. are faced downwards, so as not to collect water.
•
Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded so that water can run off, rather than sit in any
crevasse.
•
All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
•
All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
•
Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing 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, glasses
should not touch one another.
•
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea
cups.
•
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard! Long and sharp items of cutlery
such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
•
Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable consumption
of energy.
Tip! Avoid washing very small items within your dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket and interfere
with a spray arm for the filter.
Caution! When loading the basket racks, be careful in particular when loading sharp items or large pots to ensure
no damage is caused to the protective coating on the racks. If this protective coating is scratched of cut, it can
lead to potential rusting over time. This type of damage is not covered under the Manufacturer's warranty.
