For best performance ,remove follow these loading guidelines.
Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:
Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are faced downwards.
Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded on a slant so that water can
run off.
All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
Be sure that no wash items protrude through the basket base where they will likely
damage the spray arm.
Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing
downwards so that water cannot collect in the item.
Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.

reasonable consumption of energy.

through the basket.

cutlery out of the dishwasher for around 15 minutes after the
