Fragile dishes

Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons.
Some materials cannot withstand strong heat, others can be damaged
by dishwashing detergent.
Exercise caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration,
crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic.
Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking.
Fragile decoration
Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough)
should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal/Glass
Drying is faster and a better result is achieved if you use rinse aid. You
will also achieve a better dishwashing result with clear and spotless
dishes.
Hand-painted glassware, as well as antique and very fragile items,
should not be washed in a dishwasher.
Silver
Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the
silver can become discoloured.
Aluminium
Aluminium can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good
quality aluminium pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some
of the shine will be lost.
Cutlery with glued handles
Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles
may loosen.
Points to consider
All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards!
Dishes should not be placed in or on each other.
Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water
will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket;
place them in the cutlery basket.
NOTE!
Check that the spray arms can rotate freely.

The dishwasher's baskets

The dishwasher is equipped with an upper basket and a lower basket
with a cutlery basket.
The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher
setup.

Upper basket

Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper
basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards! Wine
glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in
the knife stand on the right.

Lower basket

Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots and cutlery (in the cutlery
basket) in the lower basket.
Place pots and pans in the rear right of the lower basket to best utilise
dishwashing performance from the rear spray nozzle, which is intended
for these types of dishes.
Foldable tines
Lower the foldable tines (plate supports) when washing pots. Release
the foldable tines by pressing the catch inwards before adjusting their
position.
