ISHWASHER How to load your dishes First of all. Before placing the dishes in the racks, remove the largest scraps of food left over on your plates, you will thus avoid blocking the filter, which would reduce the efficacy of the wash. If the saucepans and frying pans are very dirty, allow them to soak before being washed. To make it easier to load your dishes, pull the racks out. What goes into thelower rack? We recommend you place the most difficult dishes to wash into the lower rack: saucepans, lids, soup dishes and plates (a load example is shown in the photo). Serving dishes and large lids: place them on the sides of the rack. Saucepans, salad bowls: must always be placed upside down Very deep dishes: place them obliquely, thus allowing water to run down them and cleaning them better Place the cutlery with the handles at the bottom; if the basket is the one with side inserts, then insert the tea spoons one by one into the slots (see figure A). Knives and utensils with sharp blades or tips should be positioned with the sharp parts at the bottom. Position all cutlery items so that they don't touch. It is best if you place longer utensils horizontally at the front of the upper rack. It is best if you place longer utensils horizontally at the front of the upper rack. After loading the dishes, remember to check that the blades on the sprayer arms can turn freely without hitting against any dishes. Before washing, a few small steps can help you get a better wash and keep your dishwasher for longer. Remove the largest scraps of food left over on your plates, soak saucepans and frying pans with tough incrustations. After loading your dishes, make sure the blades on the sprayer arm turn well lower rackWhat goes into theupper rack? Place delicate and lightweight dishes in the upper rack: glasses, tea cups and coffee cups, saucers - but plates too - shallow salad bowls, slightly dirty frying pans and shallow pans.
