To save energy
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every
meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before
washing.
If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see
"Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps
do not become caked on the dishes while you are
waiting to run the complete wash programme.
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
For best washing and drying results
Before loading remove all scraps of food and soak
very heavily soiled pots and pans.
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-
down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the
water drains off easily.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.
Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this
way they will be cooler and the drying will be
improved.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one;
this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket
onto the dishes in the lower one.
You will improve drying results by leaving the
dishwasher door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as
soon as the programme finishes.
Items not suitable for
dishwashers
The following items should not be washed in
the dishwasher (unless they are sold as
dishwasher proof):
- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or
glued parts
- bronze cutlery
- saucepans with wooden handles
- aluminium ware
- crystal ware
- leaded glass
- plastic items
- antique or fine decorated china
Certain types of decoration can discolour when
washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed
dishwasher proof should be washed by hand.
Certain types of glass can also become opaque
after being washed several times in a dishwasher.
A chemical reaction can occur between silver
cutlery and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution,
do not wash together.
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other
items.
Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and
brass tend to stain.
If in doubt check with manufacturer of
the item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that
they are dishwasher proof.
