Economical and Environmentally Friendly Washing
Connect the dishwasher to hot water if you have a modern, high-efficiency hot
water system. Connection to the coid water supply is recommended for eiectri-
caliy heated water systems. Do not rinse the dishes under running water be­
forehand.
Try to use the dishwasher only when it is fuli, since this way you wash economi­
cally and in an environmentally friendly way.
Always select a wash programme which is suited to the type of crockery as well
as the level of soilage (See Programme Guide),
Above all, avoid using excessive amounts of detergent, salt and rinse aid. Con­
sult the dosing instructions in this instruction booklet as weil as the detergent
manufacturer’s recommendation,
Ensure that the water softening unit is correctly set.

Suitable for Dishwashing
Most modem tableware is suitable for dishwashing, however there are excep­
tions, Unless confirmed as dishwasher safe by the manufacturer, some items
may be adversely affected when washed in a dishwasher, e,g,
- only wash stoneware in a dishwasher if the manufacturer confirms that it is
dishwasher safe
- glazed designs fade after many machine washes
- silver and aluminium tend to discolour when washed
-
food remnants such as egg white, egg yolk and mustard, often cause
discolouration and tarnishing of silver, therefore always clean food remnants
off silverware straight away, even if you are not washing immediately,
- some types of glass go dull after many washes.
When you buy new crockery, glasses and cutlery, be sure that they are dish­
washer safe.
