- Upper Rack: Suitable for glasses, cups, smaller plates, and bowls. The upper shelf is adjustable to create space for larger utensils in the lower rack.
- Cutlery Tray: Use the multifunction 3rd layer on top for cutlery (knives, forks, spoons). Arrange them separately to ensure thorough cleaning.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not overcrowd the racks, as this can hinder water circulation and cleaning performance.
Adding Detergent and Rinse Aid
- Detergent: Fill the detergent dispenser with the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent. Close the dispenser lid securely.
