Loading the Dishwasher Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which results in reduced performance. If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to remove, we recommend that they are soaked before washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles. Pull out the rack to load the dishwasher. How to use the lower rack We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right. It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm. - Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down. - Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out. - The lower rack features fold down tine rows (see fig.A) so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded. - The silverware basket can not be doubled (see fig.B). - Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack. How to use the upper rack The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware, such as glasses, cups and saucers, plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). - Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water. The upper rack can be adjusted for height by using the knobs located on both sides of the rack itself (see fig.C). Adjust the upper basket to the higher level and you have more space to accommodate those taller pans and trays in the bottom basket. Shelf Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-not against other items to be washed. Place glasses, cups and small bowls on the additional cup rack. The additional cup rack can be swivelled in or out as required(see fig.D). Knife rest The knife rest is designed to hold long knife and fork. - Place the knife rest on the correct position of upper rack, and put the long knife and fork to be washed on it.
