Loading dishesTo load dishes
For good wash performance remove any debris from the dishes (bones, tooth picks,
the remains of meat and vegetables) to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and
washing arm nozzles and, as a result, reducing washing efficiency.
Try not to rinse the dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.
If saucepans and oven dishes are particularly encrusted with the remains of burnt or
roast food, it is advisable to leave them to soak before washing.

suitable for a gloss finish.
The dishwasher does not require special maintenance, because the tank is self-
cleaning. Regularly wipe the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove any food
remains or rinse aid. It is advisable to remove limestone deposits or dirt periodically,
by doing an empty wash; pour a glass of vinegar on the bottom of the tank and select
the light wash.
