Fragile dishes Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high temperatures, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent. Use caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminum, wood, and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking. Fragile decoration Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher. Crystal/Glass Wash fragile items made of crystal/glass, such as crystal glass from Orrefors, using the gentle dishwashing program Crystal glass. Remember to use a small amount of detergent and to place items so that they do not touch each other during the wash. Use rinse aid to improve wash and dry times. Also use rinse aid to achieve clear and spotless results. Hand-painted glassware, as well as antique and very fragile items, should not be washed in a dishwasher. Silver Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the silver can become discolored. Aluminum Aluminum can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminum pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost. Cutlery with glued handles Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles may loosen. Points to consider • All dirty surfaces should face in and down! • Dishes should not be placed in or on each other. • Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items. • Place the upper basket in its highest position when dishwashing very large plates. • Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the top cutlery tray. NOTE! Check that the spray arms can rotate freely. The baskets The dishwasher includes a top cutlery tray, an upper basket, and a lower basket with a cutlery basket. The basket appearance may differ depending on the configuration. Top cutlery tray The top cutlery tray accommodates cutlery, ladles, whisks, and other utensils. Raising the top cutlery tray 1 Remove the top cutlery tray. 2 Pull the two locking handles forward on each side to raise the top cutlery tray. Lowering the top cutlery tray 1 Make sure the upper basket is in the lowest position. 2 Remove the top cutlery tray. 3 Slide the two locking handles down and back to lower the top cutlery tray. Upper basket Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and saucers in the upper basket. Place all soiled surfaces down! Place wine glasses on the wine shelf. Place knives on the knife stand, if applicable. 6
