How to load your 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

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 easiertoloadyourdishes,pullthe racksout.
