Loading the Dishwasher Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the 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 be allowed to soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles. Pull out the rack to facilitate loading the dishwasher. Lower Rack Upper Rack 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 silverware basket can be doubled (see fig. A) so that only one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This also makes space for additional pots and pans and it can also be placed in the upper rack. - 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.

The upper rack can be adjusted in height (see fig.B).
