Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, re-
move any remaining food (bones, shells, pieces of

There is no need to rinse the dishes before
loading them into the dishwasher, as this leads to
increased water and energy consumption and is
not recommended.
If saucepans and oven dishes are encrusted with
the remains of burnt or roast food, it is advisable
to leave them to soak before washing.
Place the dishes face downwards.
Try to place the dishes in such a way that they
are not touching one another. If they are loaded
properly you will get better results.
After loading the dishes check that the washing
arms can rotate freely.
Pans and other dishes that have particularly stub-
born food particles or remnants of burnt food
should be left to soak in water with dishwasher
detergent.
To wash silver properly:
- rinse the silver immediately after use, es-
pecially if it has been used for mayonnaise,

- do not sprinkle detergent onto it.
- keep it separate from other metals.
How to make savings.
Tips on how to save money and not damage the
environment when using your appliance.
Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent
and time by using the recommended maximum
load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load
instead of 2 half loads.
If the dishes are not very dirty or if the baskets
are not very full select an ECO programme, fol-
lowing the instructions in the program list.

bined use of water and energy are usually the
longer-lasting ones with lower temperature.
Washing in a dishwasher uses less energy
and water compared to hand washing if the
dishwasher is used following the manufacturers
instructions and advice.
What not to wash.
It should be remembered that not all dishes are
suitable for washing in a dishwasher. We advise
against using the dishwasher to wash items in
thermoplastic, cutlery with wooden or plastic
handles, saucepans with wooden handles, items
in aluminum, crystal leaded glass unless other-
wise stated.
Certain decorations may fade. It is therefore a
good idea before loading the whole batch to

that others like it will not fade.
It is a good idea not to put silver cutlery with
non-stainless steel handles into the dishwasher
as there could be a chemical reaction between
them.
When buying new crockery or cutlery always
make sure that they are suitable for washing
in a dishwasher.

If the dishes are to be left in the machine for
some time, leave the door ajar, to let some air
circulate and to improve the drying performance.
