Loading Cutlery and Dishes

1 Sponges, cleaning cloths and any other ob- jects that can absorb water must not be washed in the dishwasher.

Plastic and Teflon-coated dishes and pans tend to retain water droplets. These dishes and pans therefore do not dry as well as those made of china and stainless steel.

•Before loading the dishes, you should:

–Remove the worst of the food residues.

–Soak pans with burnt-on food residues. Caution:

If this is done with washing up liquid or a similar product, ensure it is all rinsed off before placing the item into the dishwasher.

•When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

–Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.

–Load bowls, cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in them

–Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one an- other or cover one another

–To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch one another

–Don’t put small items (e.g. lids) in the baskets for the dishes, but in the cutlery basket, so that they can’t fall through the holes.
