Caring for your dinnerware
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some
items if they are washed in the DishDrawePL Remember, if in any doubt about any aspect
concerning items washed in the DishDrawer _'_,follow the instructions from the manufacturer of
the items, or wash the item by hand.
Cudery & silverware
AHcutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused by
some foods. The Rinse wash program is useful for this. Silver items should not come into contact
with stainless steel, eg other cutlery. Mixing these items can cause staining. Remove silver cutlery
from the DishDrawer _'_and hand dry it immediately after the program has finished.
Aluminum
Aluminum can be dulled by dishwasher detergent. The degree of change depends on the
quality of the product.
Other metals
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items. Copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.
Woodware
Wooden items are generally sensitive to heat and water. Regular use in the dishwasher may
cause deterioration over time. If in doubt, wash by hand.
Glassware
Most everyday glassware is dishwasher safe Crystal, very fine and antique glassware may etch
that is, become opaque. You may prefer to wash these items by hand.
Plastic
Some pBtic may change shape or color with hot water. Check manufacturer's instructions
about washing plastic items. Washable plastic items should be weighed down so they do not
flip over and fi[[ with water or fall through the base rack during the wash.
Decorated items
Most modern china patterns are dishwasher safe. Antique items, those with a pattern painted
over the glaze, gold rims or hand painted china may be more sensitive to machine washing. If in
doubt, wash by hand.
Glued items
Certain adhesives are softened or dissolved in machine washing. If in doubt, wash by hand.
Vacation time
If the DishDraweP _is not going to be used for some time, we recommend you leave the
DishDraweP _dean and empty. Leave the drawers ajar to allow air to circulate. Turn off both the
power and water supply to the DishDrawer_L

Dishwasher standards test
The DishDrawePs are tested to various standards for both wash and dry performance,

Hard water situations
If you live in a hard water situation, we
recommend the installation of a household
water softener to improve the water quality,
detergent effectiveness and prevent the
buiIdoup of calcium deposits on dishes and
in the DishDraweP,
Soft water situations
If you live in an area of naturally soft water
or your household water is softened,
avoid using too much detergent in your
DishDrawePL An excess amount of detergent
is very aggressive on glassware and may
cause irreversible etching.
Certain brands of dishwasher detergent
contain varying quantities of phosphates,
which help soften water. We suggest
you use a detergent with high phosphate
content to improve the wash. The detergent
compartments need to be completely FULL
and rinse agent is used with its setting fixed
at 5.
We recommend the use of a dishwasher
cleaner/descaler whenever you notice
a buildoup of calcium deposits in your
DishDraweP.
After you have used the dishwasher
c[eaneridesca[er you must run another
wash program with detergent to prevent
damage to the DishDrawer_L
Etching is a chemical deterioration that
occurs on the surface of glassware when
it is subiected to high temperatures, too
much detergent and/or soft water situations.
Etching is caused by a combination of very
hot water, which causes the detergent to
become very aggressive, but because the
water is soft, there are no water hardness
mineral ions for the detergent to bind to,
so it extracts mineral ions directly from the
g[ass_
Etching looks like rainbow<olored film, as
the glassis subiected to further washing the
surface will eventually appear opaque, This
type of etching isirreversible,
To prevent further etching from occurring
on glassware, use less detergent (follow the
recommended detergent quantities in the
user guide for soft water situations), and
ensure the DishDraweP is not overloaded,
so water can reach all the dishes during the
wash.
