Loading the dishwasher
Before loading!
Remove all scraps of food.
Empty drinks and liquids from cups.
Soften burnt-on-food in pans by soaking.
Do NOT put these items in your dishwasher:
Saucepans with wooden handles.
Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
Wooden platters.
Delicate, repaired or paint pattern overlaid china.
Items made from synthetic fibres (e.g. sponges).
How to use the upper rack
The upper rack is for more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups, saucers, plates, bowls
and shallow pans (provided these are not too dirty). Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get
moved by the spray of water. Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down.
Note: the dishwasher comes with an adjustable top rack (basket). Its height can be
adjusted by undoing the front rail clips, removing the rack completely and latching
the wheels of the lower level (position “1” ) or the higher level (position “2”) in the
groove of the rail.

1. Cups
2. Small serving bowls
3. Large serving bowls
4. Glasses
5. Saucers
6. Dishes

The upper rack has side flaps. There are 4 (2 on each side). These can be adjusted into 2 positions - high and low. To
move the flaps between these positions, find the large hinges clasping each flap to the upper rack. There are two of
these at either end of each flap. Gently pull both clasps off the wire rack and move the flap to the desired position.
Position 1
The upper position will accommodate items such as glass tumblers (placed beneath flap) and wine glasses. Wine
glasses can be placed upside down so that the neck nestles snugly in the grooves at the side of the flap with the base
of the glass facing upward.
Position 2
When flaps are move to the lower position, they can be used to hold additional tumblers, cups and mugs. Always
check that you are only placing items on the flaps that will clear the ceiling height of your dishwasher when you push
the rack back in. Be particularly careful with long-stemmed glassware such as champagne flutes.
How to load the lower rack:
Place large items that are hard to clean in the lower rack e.g. pots, pans, lids, serving dishes, bowls.
1. Oval platter
2. Dessert dishes
3. Soup plates
4. Dinner plates
5. Cutlery
