Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and knives with their handles facing upwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles

facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.

For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).
