LOADING
LOADING THE TOP RACK
The upper rack of the dishwasher has been designed with
flexibility in mind. Glasses, cups, plates, bowls and
small pots may be loaded in many different positions to fit your needs. Figure 3, shows a typical mixed load for an upper rack washing load.
The dishwasher should be loaded so that water can circulate freely and reach every part of every item that is to be cleaned:
•Cups, glasses and containers should be placed in upper rack upside down so that water does not collect in them. Tall narrow vessels, such as a vase or tallglass, should be placed in the lower rack, near the middle, for the best cleaning result.
•The Bosch dishwashers have a special feature incorporated into the flip down cup shelves on the side of the upper rack. The ends of these shelves are specially formed to help maintain spacing between stemmed glasses. When in the flipped down position long stemmed glasses may be placed in the second row from the edge and placed so their stems rest in the "V" formed ends of the shelves. When the cup shelves are in the up position long stemmed glasses may be placed in the first row with their stems placed
to rest between the tooth like projections of the shelves.
•China, crystal and other delicate items must be placed so that they do not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Chipping or other damage may occur.
