Too much conditioner may result in streakiness, too little may cause white spots. This is enough for 40-70 wash cycles, depending on the dosage setting. When the rinse conditioner level is approaching the bottom of the scale it is time to refill the dispenser. Swivel out the filler trough and carefully fill up with rinse conditioner until the level reaches up to the red mark on the level indicator tube. Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each other. This is particularly important in regard to the cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. The water must get at all the soiled surfaces. Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other items do not protrude through the openings in the basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating. Never put silver and stainless steel objects together. When these metals come into contact with each other a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver. China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may not be suitable for machine washing as the colours may fade and lose their lustre. The same applies to cutlery with wooden or plastic handles. Make sure you always buy articles that are dishwasher proof. q q q q q Aluminium becomes dull and tarnished when machine washed. The machine gets it clean, but at the expense of its appearance.
