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:
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.
If a small quantity of dishes has to be washed, use the
1/2 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.
WARNING:
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 as 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.
MAKE SURE THAT THE ITEMS BEING WASHED ARE DISHWASHER-SAFE.
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures.
Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher.The relatively high water
temperatures and the detergents used may damage them.
Plastic dishes: these are not heat resistant and may lose their shape. Heat resistant plastic dishes
must be washed in the upper basket.
