Loading the dishwasher Tips Remove coarse food residues from the dishware. There is no need to rinse items under running water!  Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, grease, or paint in the dishwasher. These will damage the dishwasher. Dishware can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed: - Do not place dishes or cutlery inside other pieces. They will cover each other. - Load the dishware so that water can access all surfaces. This ensures that they get properly cleaned. - Make sure that all items are securely positioned. - Hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. must be inverted in the basket. - Tall, narrow, hollow items, e.g., champagne glasses, should be placed in the center of the basket to ensure better water coverage. - Concave items such as mugs or bowls should be placed at an angle so that the water can run off. - The spray arms must not be blocked by items which are too tall or hang through the baskets. If in doubt, test for free movement by manually rotat‐ ing the spray arms. - Make sure that small items cannot fall through the holders in the bas‐ kets. Small items, e.g., lids, should there‐ fore be placed in the cutlery tray or cutlery basket (depending on model). Some foods may contain natural dyes, e.g., carrots, tomatoes or to‐ mato sauce. Plastic items in the dishwasher may discolor if large quantities of these foodstuffs find their way into the dishwasher on the dishware. The stability of plastic items is not affected by this discolor‐ ation. Cleaning silver cutlery in the dish‐ washer may also cause plastic items to discolor. 20
