Do not prewash dishes under running water. Select the QUICK A 30 programme when dishes are not very soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing programmes" chart. Select the HALF LOAD option if only a few dishes need washing. Remember to load the dishes in both baskets.

Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher proof should be washed by hand. Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being washed several times in a dishwasher. A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery. Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.
