Recommendations for loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften remnants of burnt food in
pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these loading guidelines.
(Features and appearance of baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.)
Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:
tems such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. must face downwards.
Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded aslant so that water can run off.
All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. With the opening facing downwards
so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses,
coffee and tea cups.
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard!
Long and sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned
horizontally in the upper basket.
Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good results and for
reasonable consumption of energy.
NOTE
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall
out of the basket.
