FEATURES AND CONTROLS
GENERAL WARNING AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Before using the dishwasher for the rst time, it is advisable to read the following
recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There
are generally n o constraints on t he w ashing of domestic d ishes, but i n certain
cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account. Before loading the
dishes into the racks it is necessary to:
• remove coarse food remains such as bones, sh bones, etc...which may clog the
lter or damage the wash pump
• soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate
removal, then load them into the LOWER RACK.
U se the "1/2 load wash" option for washing small amounts of dishes as it saves
water and electricity. When using this function, only load the rack selected for
the 1/2 load wash; the other rack must remain empty. There is no need to pre-wash
the dishes under running water before loading them into the racks since it only
wastes water.
WARNING!
make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or
obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle;
• do not place very small objects in the racks as these could fall and obstruct the
spray arms or the wash pump;
• containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with
the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the
water to drain out;
• do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other;
• do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each
other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch.
MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
• Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing
temperatures.
• Handcrafted i tems: these a re r arely suitable for washing in a d ishwasher.
The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage
them.
• Lightweight objects: place lightweight objects in the upper rack where the
water pressure is lower.
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
• Aluminum dishes: items made from anodized aluminum may lose their color.
• Silverware: silver items may stain.
• Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in the
dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and
lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we
recommend using the least aggressive program available (see pages 10-11)
• Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally
able t o withstand washing in t he d ishwasher, although t he c olors may fade
after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colors, it is
advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.
