Which items are dishwasher safe?
Before loading your dishwasher, it’s important to know which items are safe to wash. Most dishes, glasses, and silverware are dishwasher safe, but some delicate or non-dishwasher-safe items should be washed by hand. These include wooden cutting boards, delicate china, crystal, and certain plastic items that may warp or melt under high heat.
Separate and Pre-rinse
Prior to loading your Ariston dishwasher, separate your items according to type. Place plates in one section, glasses in another, and silverware in the designated cutlery basket. It’s also essential to pre-rinse dishes to remove any leftover food particles that could clog the dishwasher’s filter or result in less clean dishes.
Maximize Space and Efficiency
To make the most of your dishwasher’s capacity, ensure that large items do not obstruct the spray arms. Place larger pots, pans, and serving dishes along the sides or at the back of the dishwasher. Cups and glasses should go on the top rack, while plates and bowls can be placed on the bottom rack. Utensils should be evenly distributed in the cutlery basket to prevent nesting.
Optimal Dishwasher Loading
When loading your dishwasher, pay attention to the following points:
- Ensure dishes do not touch each other to avoid blocking water and detergent flow.
- Face soiled surfaces inward to ensure efficient cleaning.
- Place dishwasher-safe plastics on the top rack to avoid warping.
- Secure fragile items by spacing them apart, using the designated clips or rows on the dishwasher rack.
- Avoid blocking the detergent dispenser or spray arms with large items or incorrectly positioned dishes.
Final Tips
Remember to remove and clean the dishwasher filter regularly to maintain optimal performance. Avoid overcrowding the dishwasher, as this can interfere with the water spray and detergent distribution. And always refer to the manufacturer’s manual for specific instructions on loading your Ariston dishwasher.
By following these tips and best practices, you can maximize the efficiency of your Ariston dishwasher and enjoy spotlessly clean dishes with minimal effort!
