loading the dishwasher

before loading the dishwasher

In general, please observe the following notes before loading your cutlery and crockery into the 

basket.
•  Remove lipstick stains and any food residues from crockery and dishes. Rinse if necessary.

•  Dishes and cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
•  Load your cutlery and crockery so that water can access all surfaces.

•  Ensure all items are securely positioned.
•  Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be placed upside down in the basket.
•  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.

•  The tablet door must not be blocked. Ensure that dishes, pots or pans are loaded correctly to 

allow adequate room for the tablet door to open freely.

•  Ensure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the baskets.

•  For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the dishwasher basket in 

place.

•  Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the 

dishwasher. These items can damage the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and will be 

distributed in the dishwasher.

•  For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in 

place.
