Placing the dishes in the dishwasher

If you place the dishes correctly in accordance with the washing capacity of your dishwasher, you will make the best use of the machine in terms of energy consumption, washing and drying performance.

• Remove any food residues (bones, fruit pits, etc.) from the dishes before placing them in the machine.
• If possible, place thin, narrow-bodied items in the centre compartments of the baskets.
• Place very dirty and large items in the lower basket and small, delicate and light items in the upper basket.
• Place deep containers such as bowls, glasses and pots with their mouths downwards. This prevents water from accumulating in them.

NOTICE

To avoid possible injury, always place long and pointed dishes such as serving forks, bread knives, etc. in the cutlery basket with the pointed end downwards or horizontally on the dishwashing baskets.

Empty the dishes in the lower basket first, then the dishes in the upper basket.
