This could generate the following problems: - insufficient detergent released during the cycle and poor washing results; - the detergent is compacted in the dispenser and is released during the final rinse cycle. THE INTRODUCTION OF DETERGENT INTO THE RINSE AID DISPENSER, EVEN IN LIQUID FORM, WILL DAMAGE THE DISHWASHER. 4. 3 General warnings and recommendations Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading. There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in 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: e. g. which may clog the filter 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. Use the "½ load wash" option (if available) for washing small amounts of dishes; it saves water and electricity. When using this function, only load the rack selected for the ½ 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 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.
