4.3 General warnings and recommendations

Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the
following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and
their loading.
There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes,
but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into
account.
Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to:
•
•
If a small quantity of dishes has to be washed, use the "½ load wash"
option; this saves electricity and water.
Remember to load the upper basket only; the lower basket must
be left empty.
There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before
loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water.
Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing
results.

User instructions
remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc. which
may clog the filter or damage the wash pump.
soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to
facilitate removal, then load them into the LOWER BASKET.
Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot
tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the
washing cycle.
Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall
and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump.
Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always
be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities
at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover
one other.
Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock
against each other and break, or there might be staining at the
point where they touch.
