Loading the dishwasher
Note
Load the crockery so that water will
come into contact with all surfaces.
This ensures that they will be
properly cleaned.
Do not place crockery and cutlery in-
side other pieces where they may be
concealed.
Hollow items e.g. cups, glasses etc.
must be inverted in the basket.
Deep based items should be placed
at an angle such that water runs off
them freely.
Tall narrow hollow pieces should be
placed in the centre of the basket,
rather than the corners, to ensure
good coverage of water.
Small pieces should be placed on the
cup racks. Cups should be on the
lower rack and bowls on the top rack
so that water reaches all pieces.
The spray arms must not be blocked
by items which are too tall for the
basket or which hang through.
If necessary manually rotate the
arms to test.
Some foodstuffs may contain natural
dyes, e.g. carrots, tomatoes or ket-
chup. Plastic items in the dishwasher
may discolour if large quantities of
these foodstuffs find their way into
the appliance on the crockery.
The stability of the plastic items is
not affected by this discolouration.
