WASHING DISHES WITH
YOUR THERMADOR
DISHWASHER
Dishware Preparation
Dishes with normal soiling do not
require pre-washing, but do remove
large food particles, bones, seeds,
toothpicks, and excessive grease.
Items with burned-on or hard, stuck-
on material may require pre-soaking
and hand-scouring.
CAUTION: POSSIBLE
DISHWASHER DAMAGE - Loading
the dishwasher with objects such
as paper products, plastic bags,
packing materials, or other non-
dishware/non-kitchenware items
could damage the dishwasher. Do
not load the dishwasher with such
items.
Remove items that are not
dishwasher safe. Check the Materials
section of this manual if you have
questions about an item’s dishwasher
suitability.
Loading the Dishwasher
General Guidelines
Load dishware and kitchenware so
that water can reach every part of
every item. Place items so that
nothing protrudes from the bottoms of
the racks. Place pots, pans, cups,
bowls, and glasses upside-down in
the racks. Do not allow delicate or
heirloom items to contact other items.
Separate items of dissimilar metals.
Check the Rack Features and
Accessories section of this manual for
information on the various features
that provide loading flexibility.
Loading the Upper Rack
Note: When pushing the upper rack
into the dishwasher, push it until it
stops against the back of the tub.
Otherwise, the upper spray arm may
not connect to the water supply.

pattern for 10 place settings.

that the rack height is the same on
both sides. Otherwise, the dishwasher
