BEFORE/AFTER LOADING THE DISH- WASHER BASKETS
(For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model).
Scrape off any large amounts of left over food. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
Place objects in the dishwasher the following way:
1.Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are face down.
2.Curved items, or those with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so the water can run off.
3.All utensils are loaded securely and can not tip over.
4.All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can freely rotate during washing.
NOTE: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.
•Dishes and cutlery must not lie inside one another or cover each other.
•To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
•Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the basket.
•Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
•Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the rack (basket).
•Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for reasonable energy consumption.
