[. . . ] There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the racks since this only wastes water. Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results. 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. 22 Rev 0. 0 USER INSTRUCTIONS 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 items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. 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 "Description of controls" manual). · Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colors 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. EN Rev 0. 0 23 EN 4. 4 USER INSTRUCTIONS Using the racks The dishwasher has a capacity of 12 place-settings, including serving dishes. Examples of loading 12 place-settings in the upper rack (see fig. 4-08 24 Rev 0. 0 USER INSTRUCTIONS 4. 4. 1 Lower rack EN The lower rack receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the "toughest" items with a heavier degree of soiling. All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom. To make the most of the space inside the rack when loading large items, certain models are equipped with tip-up supports for plates in 2 or 4 sections (see fig. 4-09).
