Loading the racks

Before loading the racks, remove all food residue from
crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer
arms can rotate freely.
Lower rack and cutlery basket
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc.
Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides of the rack.
Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sections
which can be used in a vertical position when arranging plates
or in a horizontal position when arranging saucepans, salad
bowls and frying pans.
The type of cutlery basket may vary (modular or non-modular)
according to the dishwasher model. The non-modular basket must
only be positioned at the front of the lower rack.
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be
placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing
downwards, or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-
up compartments on the upper rack.
