Loading your Dishwasher

First of all.

Before placing dishes in the baskets, remove all course food remains. This avoids blocking the filter, which would reduce the efficiency of the wash.

What goes into the upper basket?

Placedelicateandlightweightdishes in the upper basket: glasses, tea cups and coffee cups, saucers and plates - shallow salad bowls, slightly dirty frying pans and shallow pans. Positionlightweightdishes in such a way as to avoid their being moved by the spray of water.
