Loading Cutlery and Dishes
1
Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other ob-
jects that can absorb water must not be
washed in the dishwasher.
Plastic and Teflon-coated dishes and pans tend
to retain water droplets. These dishes and
pans therefore do not dry as well as those
made of china and stainless steel.
• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove the worst of the food residues.
– Soak pans with burnt-on food residues.
Caution:
If this is done with washing up liquid or a similar product,
ensure it is all rinsed off before placing the item into the
dishwasher.
• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the
spray arms.
– Load bowls, cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening
downwards so that water cannot collect in them
– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one an-
other or cover one another
– To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch one
another
– Don’t put small items (e.g. lids) in the baskets for the
dishes, but in the cutlery basket, so that they can’t fall
through the holes.
Beware: Some cutlery / dishes are not suitable or of limited suitability to be washed in dishwashers
not suitable: of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother of
pearl handles
• Plastic items that are not heat resistant
• Older cutlery with cement
that is sensitive to temperature
• Dishes or cutlery with glued parts
• Pewter or copper items
• Lead crystal glass
• Steel items that rust
• Wooden boards/platters
• Items made from synthetic materials
• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked by
the manufacturer as being dishwasher-safe.
• Glazed patterns may fade if washed very frequently in the dishwasher.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during wash-
ing. Food remains, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause
discoloration and staining on silver. Therefore always clean food resi-
dues from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after
use.
• Glass can become dull after a large number of washes.
