Loading the dishwasher
Loading tips
Remove all food scraps from dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.
Cups, glasses and bowls must have their openings facing downwards.
Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above each other.
Place glasses so they do not touch each other.
Ensure the spray arms can rotate freely.
Place all large and very dirty items in the lower basket.
Small and light items can go into the upper basket.
Long and narrow items can be placed in the middle of the upper basket.
Place knives and other utensils with sharp tips and edges horizontally into the upper basket or in
the cutlery basket with the handles up. Doing so reduces the risk of cut-type injuries.
Overloading your dishwasher will lead to poor wash performance.
Ensure dishes that are placed in the dishwasher are dishwasher proof.
Suggested loading patterns
Loading the lower basket
Using the folding plate support rods
These support rod sections fold away to give you additional space for accommodating
saucepans and large bowls in the lower basket. You can fold away each section (1-4) separately
or in any combination.
To fold a support rod section away, simply press on its release lug, as shown in Fig. 7.
If you want to use a section again, simply lift it up and click into place.
