Loading cutlery and dishes
1
Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other objects that can absorb water must not
be washed in the dishwasher. Plastic and Teflon coated dishes and pans tend to
retain water droplets. These dishes and pans therefore do not dry as well as
those made of china and stainless steel.
• Before loading the dishes, you should:
– Remove the worst of the food residues.
– Soak pans with burnt on food residues.
• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
– Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.
– Load bowls, cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that
water cannot collect in them
– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another or cover one an
other
– To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch one another
– Don’t put small items (e.g. lids) in the baskets for the dishes, but in the cut
lery basket, so that they can’t fall through the holes.
For washing in the dishwasher, the following cutlery/dishes/pots and pans
are not suitable: are of limited suitability:
• Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or
mother of pearl handles
• Plastic items that are not heat
resistant
• Older cutlery with cement
that is sensitive to temperature
• Dishes or cutlery with glued parts
• Pewter or copper items
• Lead crystal glass
• Steel items that rust
• Wooden boards/platters
• Items made from synthetic materials
• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is
specifically marked by the manufacturer as being
dishwasher safe.
• Glazed patterns may fade if washed very frequently
in the dishwasher.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing. Food remains, e.g. egg
white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolora
tion and staining on silver. Therefore always clean
food
residues from silver immediately, if it is not to be
washed straight after use.
• Glass can become dull after a large number of
washes.
