Preparing Your Dishwasher (Continued)
Loading the upper basket rack
The upper basket rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glass, coffee/tea cups,
saucers, small plates and small bowls. Position the dishes so that they will not get moved by the spray of the
water.
Figure 22- Example loading of the upper basket rack.
Loading the lower basket rack
The lower basket rack is designed to hold the larger items and those most difficult to clean. Items such as
pots, pans, lids, serving dishes, dinner plates, bowls, etc, as shown in figure 23 below.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation
of the upper spray arm.
The maximum diameter advised for plates in front of the detergent dispenser is 19cm, to avoid interfering
with the opening of the detergent dispenser.

Loading the cutlery basket
Cutlery should be placed into the plastic cutlery basket separately from each other to ensure that the utensils
do not nest together. When the cutlery (in particular spoons) is stacked in close proximity and nesting
together, the washing performance will be impacted.
WARNING!
Do not let any utensils protrude down through the bottom of the cutlery basket as this can
interfere with the spray arm. Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point downwards, to avoid risk of
injury.
Removing the dishes at the end of a cycle
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket onto your dishes in the lower basket rack, we recommend
that you slide out and empty the lower basket rack first, followed by the upper basket rack.
Caution!
Items will be hot immediately after the wash program is complete! To prevent damage, do not take
glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the program has ended.
Tip!
To maximise the drying performance of your dishwasher, once the wash program has completed and
the audible tone has sounded, simply open your dishwasher door slightly to allow for some of the steam
to escape. Leave your dishwasher for at least 15-30 minutes and you’ll find the drying results will improve
greatly.
