8. Loading the dishwasher
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent the filter from
becoming clogged, which results in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to remove, we recommend that
they are soaked before washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher.
8-1. How to use the lower rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items
on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls,
as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of
the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top
spray arm.
--Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.
--Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
Warning
knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in
the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal
position.
8-2. How to use the upper rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small bowls
and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved
by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs
located on both sides of the rack itself (see fig.E).
Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more
space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in the bottom
basket.
8-3. Shelf
Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf not
against other items to be washed.
Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup rack.
The additional cup rack can be swiveled in or out as required (see fig.F).

sharp knives separatey and out of harm's way(see fig.G).
