Utensils
Not suitable
▯ Cutlery and utensils made of wood.
▯ Delicate decorative glasses, craft and antique
utensils. These decors are not dishwasher-proof.
▯ Plastic parts not resistant to heat.
▯ Copper and tin utensils.
▯ Utensils which are soiled with ash, wax, lubricating
grease or ink.
Aluminium and silver parts have a tendency to discolour

many wash cycles.
Glass and utensil damage
Loading the dishwasher
Using the dishwasher normally allows you to save
energy and water compared to washing-up by hand.
1. Remove large food remnants. Prerinsing under
running water is not necessary - nor is this a good
idea in terms of saving energy.
2. Arrange tableware so that
– it is secure and cannot tip over.
– all tableware with the openings face down.
– parts with curves or recesses are at an angle, so
allowing water to drain off.
– rotation of the two spray arms 1: and 1Z is
not obstructed.
To save energy and water, load the dishwasher to its
specified capacity.
Very small items of tableware should not be washed in
the machine as they may easily fall out of the baskets.
Causes:
▯ Glass type and glass production process.
▯ Chemical composition of the detergent.
▯ Water temperature of the wash programme.
Recommendation:
▯ Use only glasses and porcelain which
the manufacturer designates as dishwasher-proof.
▯ Use a detergent which protects utensils.
▯ Take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher as soon
as possible after the programme ends.
Upper basket
Arrange cups and glasses in the upper basket 12.
