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 willthus avoid blocking the filter, which would reduce the efficacyofthewash.
Ifthesaucepansandfryingpans areverydirty,allowthemtosoak beforebeingwashed.Tomakeit easiertoloadyourdishes,pullthe racksout.
What goes into the lower rack?
We recommend you place the mostdifficultdishestowashinto the lower rack: saucepans, lids, soup dishes and plates (a load exampleisshowninthephoto).
What goes into the upper rack?
Place delicate and lightweight dishesintheupperrack:glasses, teacupsandcoffeecups,saucers- butplatestoo-shallowsaladbowls, slightly dirty frying pans and shallowpans.
