How to improve the use of your dishwasher
Do's
- Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers.
- Only use rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers.
- Only
use special coarse-grained dishwasher salt for reactivation, as others
salts may contain insoluble additives, which can impair the functioning
of the softener.
- In an appliance with a
cutlery basket (depending on model) cutlery is cleaned and dried more
efficiently if placed in the basket with the handles downwards.
However, to avoid the risk of injury, place cutlery with sharp points
with the handles upwards.
Don'ts
- Do not use solvents in the dishwasher.
- Avoid
inhalation of powder detergents. Dishwashing detergents contain
irritant or corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor
immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
- Do not sit or lean on the opened door.
- Water in the dishwasher must not be used as drinking water.
- Plastic
items, which cannot withstand being washed in hot water, such as
disposable plastic containers, or plastic cutlery and crockery should
not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the
dishwasher may cause them to melt or loose shape.
- Do
not let small children play with the dishwasher and it's controls or
operate it. There is a danger that people playing might shut themselves
inside the dishwasher.
Energy Saving Dishwashing
- For
most economical dishwashing make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
- Choose the programme to suit the type of crockery being washed and the degree of soiling.
- Select the Economy program (if available) for energy-saving dishwashing.
- Use the correct amounts of detergents.
- Use only 2/3 of the given dosage if baskets are only half full.
