The decorative patterns on such items will not be dishwasher-proof. Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water, copper and pewter utensils are also not suitable. Decorative patterns printed or painted onto the surface of crockery, glasses, etc.,aluminium and silver items tend to become discoloured or faded if washed in the diswasher. Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance after they have been washed many times in a dishwasher. Highly absorbent materials, such as sponges and towels,should never be placed in the dishwasher. Our recommendation In future, only purchase table or kitchenware that has been confirmed as being dishwasher-proof. Important Dishes or cutlery that have been soiled by tobacco ash, wax, Iubricating grease or paint, should not be put in the dishwasher. Damage to glassware and other dishes Possible causes type of glass or manufacturing process chemical composition of detergent water temperature and duration of dishwasher programme. Suggested remedy Use glassware or porcelain dishes that have been marked 'dishwasher-proof' by the manufacture. Use a mild detergent that is described as 'kind to dishes'. If necessary, seek further information from detergent manufacturers. Select a programme with a low temperature and a short duration as possible. To prevent damage, take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the programme has ended. 12 Arranging crockery, glasses, etc. in the dishwasher Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which results in reduced performance. If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to remove, we recommend that they are soaked before washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles. Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher. How to use the lower rack We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm. Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down. (see fig.D) Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out. The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.E) so that only one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This also makes space for additional pots and pans and it can also be placed in the upper rack. Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack. Load for 12 Standard Settings (for IEC-EN 50242 tests) Lower rack fig.D Warning Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position. Folding spikes To improve stacking of pots and pans , the spikes can be folded down (see fig.F). fig.E fig.F 13
