Recommendations for loading
Arrange sensitive, light tableware items such as
glasses, coffee and teacups in the upper basket.
Place large items that are most difficult to clean in
the lower basket.
Make sure that the tableware is placed securely
and cannot tip over.
Place all items so, that the spray arms can rotate
freely during rinsing.
Arrange all items with openings facing down.
Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be
loaded aslant so that water can drain off.
Make sure that glasses do not touch each other.
Set the dishes and cutlery not into each other or
covering each other.
Arrange cutlery in the cutlery drawer.
Store long as well as sharp cutlery in the cutlery
drawer or horizontally in the dishwasher basket.
Methods for loading normal dishware
Loading the upper basket
On the upper basket only small and medium items
should be loaded. Load e.g. glasses, cups, saucers
and small bowls.
Loading the lower basket
Because of the particularly intense cleaning action of
the lower spray arm the lower basket is suitable for
heavily soiled dishes. Load e.g. pots and plates.
