Loading the dishwasher
Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in the dishwasher.
Ash and sand do not dissolve and will be distributed throughout the inside of the dishwasher.
Wax, grease and paint will cause permanent discoloration and damage to the dishwasher.
Scrape food from dishes before placing them in the dishwasher, rinsing is not necessary.
Some foods contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots or tomatoes. Plastic items may discolor permanently if they come in contact with food dyes.
All items can be placed anywhere in the baskets.
Load dishes so that water can reach all surfaces. Do not place dishes or cutlery inside other pieces.
Make sure that all items are securely positioned.
Hollow items such as cups and glasses should be placed upside down in the baskets.
To ensure good water coverage, tall, narrow and hollow items, i.e. vases or champagne glasses, should be placed in the center of the basket rather than in the corners.
Concave based items such as mugs or bowls, should be placed at an angle so that water does not pool.
The spray arms must not be blocked by items that are too tall or hang through the baskets. Check clearance by manually rotating the spray arms.
Place very small items in the cutlery tray or basket so they do not fall to the bottom of the wash cabinet.
Food residue and spilled liquids should be cleaned from the sides of the dishwasher door. These are outside of the wash cabinet and are not cleaned by water from the spray arms.
