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.
Select an economic programme when dishes are
not very soiled, following the instructions given in the
"Washing programmes" chart.
Select the half load option if only a few dishes need
washing. Remember to load all the dishes in the
selected basket.
Select a drying option.
For best washing 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.
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.
