4.3 Loading

The loading guidelines shown here will lead
to faster, more efficient cleaning of your
dishware.
Ware such as trays, plates and bowls should
be loaded into the racks facing front or rear -
so that the edges enter the machine first. If
they are loaded facing the sides (so that the
large front or rear faces enter the machine
first), they may bind on the curtains or shift in
the racks as they touch the curtains. Items
should not extend past the edges of the rack.
Trays, plates,
bowls, etc. face
front or rear (edges
enter first)
Load plates, soup bowls, etc. at an angle with
the inside face pointing up. Ensure that water
cannot pool in the bottom of bowls.
Ware cannot
extend past the
edges of the
rack
Load hollow or concave dishware (glasses,
large bowls, etc.) upside-down and at an
angle. This allows water to drain more quickly,
preventing stains.
For greater efficiency in loading cutlery, you
can use cutlery holders. When loading them:
• Do not overload the cutlery
holders.
• Always load knives, forks
and spoons with the
handle DOWN.
• Do not load identical ware
into any given holder.
Instead, load an assort-
ment of knives, forks and
spoons into each holder.
Identical ware is often too
closely spaced for effective
cleaning.
Do not stack items in a rack, such as plates,
glasses, etc. Stacked items require multiple
cleaning cycles because the wash water
cannot reach the food residue. It is more
efficient to load each rack with fewer items to
ensure effective water coverage on the first
wash.
Always try to run many racks together, rather
than loading single racks individually over
time. Operating the machine at full capacity
for a short time is more economical and
requires less preheating time than running a
few racks at a time with frequent idle periods.
