Loading the dishwasher
Remove coarse food residues from crockery.
There is no need to pre-wash items under
running water.
Notes
Risk of damage caused by acids and
solvents.
Acid or solvent residues, especially
hydrochloric acid or chlorides, must not
get inside the wash cabinet.
Do not put acids or solvents in the wash
cabinet.
Damage caused by items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, lubricant or paint
These materials will cause damage to the
dishwasher.
Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand,
wax, lubricant or paint in the dishwasher.
Load crockery and cutlery into the
appropriate places in the baskets, observing
the following notes:
Load the crockery so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures thorough
and proper cleaning.
Load plates symmetrically in the upper and
lower baskets with the concave surfaces
facing the centre of the basket (as shown
on the following pages).
Do not place crockery and cutlery inside
other items. They will cover one another.
Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans,
etc. must be inverted in the basket.
Tall, narrow, hollow items should be placed
in the centre of the basket if possible. This
ensures better water coverage.
Wide-based items should ideally be
placed at an angle so that water can run
off them freely.
The spray arms must not be blocked by
items which are too tall or hang through
the baskets. If in doubt, test for free
movement by manually rotating the spray
arms.
Loading the dishwasher
If you need to wash large load items in the
lower basket, you can remove the upper
basket.
Small items can fall through the holders in
the baskets. They should therefore be
placed in the cutlery basket.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
- Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with
wooden parts may discolour or fade. The
glue used in these items is not
dishwasher-proof. Wooden parts may
come loose after being washed in a
dishwasher.

decorative glassware are not dishwasher-
safe.
- Plastic items which are not heat resistant
may melt or lose shape.
- Copper, brass, tin and aluminium items
may discolour or become matt.
- Colours painted over a glaze may fade after
a number of washes.
- Delicate glasses and glassware containing
crystal may become cloudy over time.
