Caring for your dinnerware
The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some
items if they are washed in the DishDraweP_ 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 hang
Cutlery & silverware
All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused
by some foods. The Rinse wash programme is useful for this_ Silver items should not come into
contact with stainless steel, eg other cut[ery_ Mixing these items can cause staining_ Remove
silver cutlery from the DishDrawer _'_and hand dry it immediately after the programme has
finisheG
Aluminium
Aiuminium 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 @shwasher may
cause deterioration over time. If in doubt, wash by hang
Glassware
Most everyday gBssware is dishwasher safe. Crystal, very fine and antique gBsware may etch
that is, become opaque. You may prefer to wash these items by hand.
Plastic
Some pBtic may change shape or co[our 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 fill with water or fall through the base rack during the wash. Use the multi-purpose
dip to hold pBtic items in place.
Decorated items
Most modem 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.
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

Backing and accessories
Cudery basket
To reduce the risk of injury, we recommend loading knives and sharp utensils with handles
facing up,
Mix spoons, knives and forks within each section to stop cutlery nesting together and to ensure
the water circulates freely,
Keep stainless steel from touching silver cutlery to avoid staining,
RemovaNe small items container
Small, light items like baby bottle teats are best placed into the small items container to prevent
them from being displaced dudng the wash.

Backing and accessories
Removable small items container
To optim[se the cutlery space within the basket, the small items container can be placed
elsewhere on the base rack. If laid flat, make sure the solid plastic side is facing up.
If you place a fully laden small items container under the adjustable racks, it is best to leave the
rack space directly above the container empty: there may not be enough water reaching items
that are placed there.
RemovabJe tabJet tray
If you are using dishwasher tablets, place them on the removable tablet tray, as shown.
See also 'Using tablets' for more information.
We do not recommend using tablets in USA and Canada models. The pre-wash cycle in these
models would dissolve the tablet, reducing the cleaning power left for the main wash.

Leading suggestions
How NOT to load your DishDraweP )
Overcrowded and washwater will not
reachsome of the dinnerware,
Cups,glassesand bowls must have their
openings facing down.
The plates are nesting together and wash
water may not get through.
Ensure cutlery are not nesting or stuck
together, They need to be evenly spread
out.
Ensure dishware items are not forced
into or protrude out of the drawer, as this
may prevent the lid from properly sealing
which could result in a service call,
Locate sharp items safely to prevent
iniuring the user and damaging the lid
assembly,
Checkthe bottom of the cutlery basket to
ensure sharp or pointed items have not
come through as they may stop spray arm
rotation,
Ensure cutlery has not fallen through the
base rack and stopped the spray arm from
rotating.
The large bowl is blocking wash water
reaching the adiustable racks,
Large utensils should be on the adjustable
racks so they do not become dislodged and
stop the spray arm from rotating,
Sharp or pointed items must be placed
horizontally or with sharp edges/points
facing down to avoid risk of injury,

Water hardness and dishwashing
What is water hardness?
Hardwater is water with ahigh concentration of minerals suchascalcium and magnesium. In
soft water, this concentration is low. Water hardness vades by geographical location.
How does water hardness affect dishwashing?
Hard water can be detrimental to the peformance of your DishDrawer, Over time, glassware
washed in hard water will become opaque and dishes will become spotted or covered in a white
film, Using very hard water can cause DishDrawer parts to fail over time,
Naturally soft or softened water has no detrimental effects if used with the correct amount of
detergenL However, excess detergent combined with hot, soft water may cause irreversible
etching on gBsware, Etching first appears as a rainbow-ocoloured film and--if allowed to
continue--can make glassware permanently opaque,
What can [ do to minimise any detrimenta[ effects?
Contact your local water company to find out about water hardness in your area.
If your home has hard water and your DishDrawer has no buittoin water softener°°°
Follow the detergent quantity recommendations on the following page.
Use a detergent with high phosphate content. Phosphate softens the water and this improves
wash results,
Use rinse aid, We recommend you turn the dnse aid setting to 5 to help improve wash
performance,
Use a dishwasher cleaner/descaler regularly, or whenever you notice a build--up of limescale
deposits in your DishDrawer,
Werecommend fitting e water so£ener to the hous@oRd weter supptyoff the weter hardness in your
home is above 250 ppm/14, d gpg, awater so_ener has to be fitted to maintain the performance dyour

Avoid using too much detergent. Follow the quantity recommendations on the following page.
Ensure the DishDrawer is not overloaded and water can reach all the dishes.
