1. Always scrape off excess food before loading or use a pre-wash programme on heavily soiled items. Modern dishwashers automatically detect and eliminate even the toughest dirt.
  2. There is no need to wash your dishes in the sink first when using modern dishwashers and high quality products like Finish.
  3. Load and sort dishes according to manufacturer instructions, allowing water to circulate and reach all items. Generally, larger and dirtier items are best on the bottom rack, cups, glasses and less soiled items should be put on the top rack.
  4. Ensure spray arms can rotate and spray water freely. They get blocked by large items such as utensils and pan handles so always give the spray arm a spin before pressing start.
  5. Avoid using old or damp detergent and use the detergent recommended by your machine manufacturer
  6. Read and follow all the detergent pack instructions and use right dosages.
  7. With multibenefit tablets, rinse aid and salt functions are included in the detergent. However specialist rinse aid will prevent drop marks, boost drying results and deliver the complete shine.
  8. In very hard water, the addition of salt is essential to aid cleaning and prevent limescale deposits on dishes and damage to your machine.
  9. To maintain performance of your machine, remove and clean the filters regularly.
  10. Use a high quality dishwasher cleaner to clear build-up of grease and limescale (the average machine needs cleaning every 60 washes).
