MEDELSTOR Dishwasher Loading Guide
This document provides guidance on how to effectively load the MEDELSTOR dishwasher, designed by IKEA. It illustrates optimal placement for various kitchen items to ensure efficient cleaning.
Basket Loading Examples
The dishwasher features upper and lower baskets designed to accommodate a variety of dishes, glassware, and cookware.
Upper Basket Loading
The upper basket is typically used for smaller items such as glasses, cups, saucers, and small bowls. Diagrams show various arrangements for these items, ensuring they are placed securely and do not obstruct the spray arms.
Lower Basket Loading
The lower basket is designed for larger items like dinner plates, serving dishes, pots, and pans. Illustrations demonstrate how to arrange plates upright between the tines and place larger cookware to maximize space and ensure proper water circulation.
Cutlery Loading
Cutlery can be placed in the dedicated cutlery basket, usually located in the lower basket. Diagrams show how to place cutlery items, such as forks, spoons, and knives, with handles facing down or up depending on the basket design, to prevent nesting and ensure thorough cleaning.
