Upper Basket: This is designed for dessert plates, salad bowls, cups, and glasses. Lean long stem glasses against the basket edge or rack, not against other items.

Loading Rules:

Place all containers such as cups, glasses, and pots into the dishwasher with the opening facing downwards so they cannot collect water.

Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above one another.

Ensure dishes do not prevent the upper and lower spray arms from spinning.

Large knives and utensils with sharp tips must be placed horizontally on the upper rack or sharp side down in the cutlery basket.

Small items should be placed in the cutlery tray or silverware basket to prevent them from falling through holders.

Do not wash items made of wood or that include wooden parts, as high temperatures can cause them to swell or crack.

Only wash plastics marked as dishwasher safe.

Silver items without a dishwasher safe label should be avoided as high temperatures and detergent can damage the silver.

Do not wash sponges or dishcloths.

Avoid materials such as acrylic, copper, brass, pewter, iron, bronze, or tin.

Avoid glued dishes or cutlery as adhesives may loosen.

Aluminum may turn dark due to heat or minerals in the water.

For models with height adjustment with load: Hold the basket on both sides and pull it up or push it down. Ensure both sides are in the same position.
