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,removethelargestscraps of food left over on your plates, you will thusavoid blocking the filter, which would reduce the efficacyofthewash.

What goes into the lower rack?

We recommend you place the mostdifficultdishestowashinto the lower rack: saucepans, lids, soup dishes and plates (a load exampleisshowninthephoto).

•Serving dishes and large lids: place them on the sides oftherack.
