Your own dishes are not likely to be identical to this load, but if you follow the advices below we are sure you will be pleased with the result. q q 1 Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down. Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc. ) so that the water can run off when drying. 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. Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the main basket. q q q q q Silver and aluminum items tend to be discolour when washed. Food remnants from egg and mustard often causes discolourations and stains on silver. Make sure to rinse off and remove food remnants on silver if it is not washed immediately after it has been used. Not all plastic articles are machine washable. [. . . ] Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher. Select a wash programme and let the machine run for a few seconds.
