Electrolux ESF 472 - Helpful Hints; For Best Washing Results; To Save Energy; Items not Suitable for Dishwasher

Helpful Hints
This
dishwasher
offers
a
wide
range
of
washing
programmes
depending
on
how
soiled
your
dishes
are
and
the
type
of
crockery
to
be
washed.
Refer
to
the
programme
chart
on
the
following
pages
to
select
the
most
suitable
programme.
For
Best
Washing
Results:
"=
Before
loading,
remove
all
the
scraps
of
food
and
soak
very
heavily
soiled
pots
and
pans.
=
Always
arrange
saucepans,
cups
and
glasses
etc.
upside-down.
=
Tilt
items
with
convex
or
concave
surfaces
so
that
the
water
drains
off
easily.
=
Long
items
of
cutlery
such
as
ladles,
carving
knives
etc.
should
be
positioned
horizontally
in
the
upper
basket.
=
Avoid
contact
between
the
dishes
as
far
as
possible;
correct
arrangement
of
the
items
will
give
better
washing
results.
=
Light
items
(plastic
bowls
etc.)
should
be
loaded
in
the
upper
basket
and
arranged
so
that
they
do
not
move
during
washing.
To Save Energy
=
Do
not
prewash
the
dishes
under
running
water.
=
Place
the
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
Programme
Chart
on
the
following
pages),
so
that
any
food
scraps
do
not
become
caked
on
the
dishes
while
you
are
waiting
to
run
the
complete
wash
programme.
Select
an
ECONOMIC
programme
when
the
baskets
are
not
very
full
and/or
when
the
dishes
are
not
very
soiled
following
the
instructions
given
in
the
Programme
Chart
(ECONOMY
programmes,
QUICK
programme).
Select
economy
drying
(Economy
Drying
Push-
button).
Drying
will
obviously
be
less
effective
in
this
case.
You
will
improve
drying
results
by
leaving
the
dishwasher
door
open
for
15-30
minutes
as
soon
as
the
programme
finishes.
Care
must
be
taken
when
opening
the
door,
as
steam
will
escape.
