Loading the dishwasher
Using the dishwasher normally allows you to save
energy and water compared to washing-up by hand.
1.
Remove large food remnants. Prerinsing under
running water is not necessary - nor is this a good
idea in terms of saving energy.
2.
Arrange tableware so that
–
it is secure and cannot tip over.
–
all tableware with the openings face down.
–
parts with curves or recesses are at an angle, so
allowing water to drain off.
–
rotation of the two spray arms

not obstructed.
To save energy and water, load the dishwasher to its
specified capacity.
Very small items of tableware should not be washed in
the machine as they may easily fall out of the baskets.
