Loading cutlery and dishes

Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water
may not be washed in the dishwasher.

Before loading the dishes, you should:
- Remove large left-overs.
- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.

When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
- Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.
- Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc, with the opening

downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a 
deep base.

- Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or 

cover each other.

- To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
- Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to retain 
water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel 
items.
