Loading cutlery and dishes
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take sauce-
pan, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
downwards so that water cannot collect
in the container or a deep base.
– Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie
inside one another, or cover each other.
– To avoid damage to glasses, they must
not touch.
– Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
• Plastic items and pans with non stick coat-
ings have a tendency to retain water
drops; these items will not dry as well as
porcelain and steel items.
• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be
loaded in the upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
are of limited suitability:
• Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is
specially marked as being dishwasher-safe by
the manufacturer.
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed
frequently.
• Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to
discolour during washing: Residues, e.g. egg
white, egg yolk and mustard often cause dis-
colouring and staining on silver. Therefore al-
ways clean left-overs from silver immediately, if
it is not to be washed straight after use.
The rows of prongs on the right side in the
lower basket can lie flat to allow you to load
pots, pans and bowls.
