Loading the dishwasher Fragile dishes Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high heat, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent. Exercise caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminium, wood and plastic.
Loading the dishwasher The dishwasher's baskets The dishwasher is equipped with an upper basket, a middle basket and a lower basket with a cutlery basket. The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher setup. Upper basket Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards! Wine glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in the knife stand on the right.
Loading the dishwasher Middle basket The middle basket is fitted with two cutlery inserts. Place ladles, whisks, serving cutlery and similar items in the middle basket. Washing larger items If large items are to be washed in the lower basket, either the middle basket’s two inserts can be removed or the entire middle basket can be lifted out.
Loading the dishwasher Lower basket Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket. Place pots and pans in the rear of the lower basket to best utilise dishwashing performance from the two spray nozzles.
