Place larger plates, dishes, pots, saucepans
and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower
basket. The detachable plate rack that is supp-
lied with some models can easily be lifted out to
provide space for big plates, saucepans and pots,
or be fitted in one of the three different posi-
tions.
Place cutlery with the handles downwards
and spread out as much as possible. Make cer-
tain that spoons do not "nest" with each other.
Avoid placing cutlery made of different ma-
terials in the same compartment, eg, silver and
stainless because of the risk of discolouration.
The cutlery basket has a folding cover in the
middle, which can be used to protect small items
or in which to insert slender handles, eg, electric
whisks.
Put long cutlery and knives in the special
knife basket, if fitted, or in the upper basket.
Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.
See Delicate wash, if you wish to wash sen-
sitive items.
