Before loading the dishes, you should: - Remove all left over food and debris. - Soften remnants of burnt food in pans When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note: - Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms . - Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base. - Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other. - To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch. - Lay small objects in the cutlery basket. Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes are not suitable: - Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearl handles - Plastic items that are not heat resistant - Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant - Bonded cutlery items or dishes - Pewter or copper items - Lead crystal glass - Steel items prone to rusting - Wooden platters - Items made from synthetic fibres are of limited suitability: - Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer. - Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently - Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Residues, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use. - Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles facing upwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together. For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.
