Your dishwasher is designed to take 12
standard place settings.
There is no one correct method for loading
the dishwasher. The upper and lower
baskets are designed to give the maximum
flexibility possible to cope with the variety
of cups, glasses, dishware, pots, pans and
utensils - not to mention your oven fittings
or teapot, which might be put into the
dishwasher.

● First remove all coarse food remains 

which could block the filter or damage 
the wash pump.

● Arrange all items so that water can 

drain away, as you would on a draining 
board.

● Large or heavily soiled items should go 

in the lower basket. The lower basket 
plate rack can be folded down to      
accommodate larger items. The upper 
basket can be adjusted to allow for 
large items in the lower basket .
Smaller, delicate items (eg. glasses) 
should go in the top basket.

● Arrange plates so that they are not 

touching and water can flow freely 
between them.

● Tall, narrow receptacles should be 

placed in the centre of the baskets,
directly over the spray.

● Long stemmed glasses should lean 

against the cup rack, not against  
dishware.

● Cutlery should be distributed at       

random in the cutlery basket with  
handles down (except if the handles 
are very thin and could drop through 
the basket).

● Long cutlery, such as ladles and knives 

should be laid horizontally across the 
filled cutlery basket.

● Pots and pans with baked on areas 

should first be soaked and then 
arranged, upside down in the lower 
basket, so that the water jets can have 
direct access to the dirty areas.

● After loading check that the upper 

spray arm is free to rotate by giving it 
a spin with your hand.

LOADING the Upper Basket...
It is recommended to load the upper
basket with small or medium sized
items such as glasses, small plates, tea
or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light
objects made from heat resistant
plastic. If the upper basket is used in
the lowest position, it can also be
loaded with serving dishes, provided
they are only slightly soiled.
To make full use of the space available
the top basket has two plastic grids
that can be lifted to make room for tall
glasses such as stem glasses.
Load the dishes with the top side
facing forwards, cups and concave
containers should always be loaded
with the opening facing down. The left
side of the basket can be loaded with
cups and glasses on two levels. In the
centre section, plates and saucers can
be loaded vertically into the supports
provided.
