•When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

–Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.

–Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening down- wards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.

–Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.

–To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.

–Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

•Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.
