11. PRACTICAL HINTS 
! Before placing the dishes in the 
dishwasher, remove any remaining food 
(bones, shells, pieces of meat or 
vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, 
cigarette ash, thooth picks etc. to avoid 
blocking the filters, water outlet and 
washing arm nozzles. 
! Try not to rinse the dishes before loading 
them into the dishwasher. 
! 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 stubborn food particles or 
remnants of burnt food should be left to 
soak in water with dishwasher detergent. 
! To wash silver properly: 
a) rinse the silver immediately after use, 
especially if it has been used for 
mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.; 
b) do not sprinkle detergent onto it; 
c) keep it separate from other metals. 
! If you want the dishwasher to give a 
complete wash, place the dishes in the 
dishwasher at the end of each meal and if 
necessary turn on the COLD RINSE cycle 
to soften the food remains and remove 
bigger particles of food from the new load 
of dishes. When the dishwasher is full 
start  the  complete  wash  cycle 
programme. 
! If the dishes are not very dirty or if the 
baskets are not very full select an 
ECONOMY programme, following the 
instructions in the program list. 
! 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 otherwise stated. 
! Certain decorations may fade. It is 
therefore a good idea before loading the 
whole batch to wash just one of the items 
first so as to be sure 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. 
! In order to avoid any dripping from the top 
rack, remove the lower rack first. 
! 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.
