Crockery baskets
The baskets are protected with polystyrene
during transportation. Remove all polystyrene
parts before using the machine.
General advice on dishwashing
Economical dishwashing:
Collect the dirty dishes and stack them in
your dishwasher. Only select a full wash
programme when both baskets are full.
A rinse and hold programme can be
selected during the day to prevent food soil
from drying on before a full load has been
collected. Always select the programme
according to the degree of soiling (see
chart on pages 14/15).
“On glaze” decorations may fade if washed
frequently in the dishwasher over a long
period of time. Check earthenware for
“dishwasher proof" descriptions.
Aluminium articles have a tendency to dis­
colour when machine washed.
Some glassware may not be suitable for
machine washing. Etching could occur
leaving the glasses dull and opaque in
appearance.
Clean food residues on silver dishes and
silver cutlery if you do not run a wash pro­
gramme after the meal (some food such as
egg white, egg yolk, mustard, etc., cause
stains and discolouration).
Unsuitable articles:
Wooden chopping boards, heat sensitive
plastic articles, pewter, crockery repaired
with glue, cracked china, old cutlery, steel
knives sensitive to rust, cutlery with wood,
bone, china and mother-of-pearl handles.
If in doubt about an article check with the
manufacturer of the article where possible.
Failing this, wash valuable items by hand.
When buying new china look out for dish­
washer suitable crockery, cutlery and
glasses. Buy articles which have straight
and smooth sides, large openings avoiding
deep Indentations on the base of the
crockery.
