Loading the dishwasher
42
General information
Remove coarse food residues from
dishes.
There is no need to pre-rinse items un-
der running water.
Damage can be caused by ash,
sand, wax, lubricating grease, or
paint.
These substances will contaminate
the dishwasher and can then no
longer be removed.
Do not wash items soiled with these
substances in the dishwasher.
Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the
baskets, but the following notes should
be observed:
- Do not place dishes and utensils in-
side other items where they will cover
one another.
- Load the dishes so that water can
access all surfaces. This ensures that
they get properly cleaned.
- Make sure that all items are securely
positioned.
- Hollow items such as cups, glasses,
pans, etc., must be inverted in the
baskets.
- Tall, narrow, hollow items such as
champagne glasses should be
placed in the center of the basket
rather than in the corners. This en-
sures the hollow items are more eas-
ily accessed by the water jets.
- Concave items such as mugs or
bowls should be placed at an angle
so that the water can run off.
- The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or hang
through the baskets. Test for free
movement by manually rotating the
spray arms.
- Make sure that small items cannot
fall through the holders in the bas-
kets.
Small items such as lids should
therefore be placed in the cutlery
tray.
Some foods such as carrots, toma-
toes, or ketchup may contain natural
dyes. These dyes can discolor plastic
items in the dishwasher if large quanti-
ties of these foods are in contact with
the dishes inside the appliance. The
stability of plastic items is not affected
by this discoloration.
Washing silverware can also cause
plastic items to discolor.
