Basic Course Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve the best possible dishwashing results. Load the baskets correctly! Thanks to Self Cleaning System, you do not need to rinse the dishes under running water. Simply remove large food particles and debris. Convenient and environmentally-friendly! Place dinner plates, side plates, serving dishes, saucepans, and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket. The removable plate insert, which comes with certain models, can be easily removed to provide room for large plates, saucepans, and pots, or placed in three alternative positions. Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and saucers in the upper basket. Wine glasses should be hung from or leaned against the wine glass shelf and knives placed in the knife stand if present. Note! Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards or downwards! Stand the cutlery with handles downward and as spread out as possible. Ensure that spoons are not resting inside each other. The middle basket is suitable for low items, such as cups, small glasses, or bowls. The two baskets that sit in the middle basket can be removed to create more space between the upper and lower baskets to fit taller items. The utensil basket, which is easy to remove, has room for ladles, whisks, serving cutlery, and the like. Do not put bowls or cups in the utensils basket! Do not put cutlery made of different materials - such as silver and stainless steel - in the same compartment (risk of stains). The cutlery basket has a folding flap in the middle for small items or narrow shafts, such as electric whisks. Place long cutlery and carving knives in the special knife box (if present) or in the upper basket. Check that the spray arms are able to move freely. See the section entitled Fragile Dishes if you want to wash objects that may be fragile. Dishwashing detergent We recommend that you use only unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent. Using the wrong detergent could cause flooding and/or damage your dishwasher. Do not use detergent that has been wet and is clumped. Also, check the expiration date on the container. The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. To Customer Care Center 10 1-800-898-1879 www.askousa.com
