Loading the commercial dishwasher

Tips
Remove coarse food residues from
dishes.
There is no need to pre-wash items
under running water.
Do not wash items soiled with
ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or
paint in the dishwasher. These
materials will cause damage to the
dishwasher.
Dishes can be loaded anywhere in the
baskets, but the following notes should
be observed:
– Do not place dishes and cutlery
inside other pieces where they may
be concealed.
– 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
and pots should be placed upside
down in the baskets.
– Tall, narrow, hollow items such as
champagne glasses should be
placed in the centre of the basket
rather than in the corners. This
ensures better water coverage.
– Wide based items should be placed
at an angle so that water can run off
them freely.
– The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall or hang
through the baskets. If in doubt, test
for free movement by manually
rotating the spray arms.
– Make sure that small items cannot
fall through the holders in the
baskets.
Small items such as lids should
therefore be placed in the cutlery tray
or cutlery basket (depending on
model).
Some foods such as carrots,
tomatoes or ketchup may contain
natural dyes. These dyes can
discolour plastic items in the
dishwasher if large quantities of
these foods are in contact with the
dishes inside the machine. The
stability of plastic items is not
affected by this discolouration.
Washing silverware can also cause
plastic items to discolour.
