Rules for loading mugs and small cutlery

The design of all dishwashers of famous brands such as Bosch, Siemens, Electrolux, Flavia is about the same: two or three baskets, removable trays for small cutlery. The rule of arrangement of dishes is that the water from the sprinklers evenly falls on all the dishes.

1. Mugs and plates should not overlap each other, then the quality of washing will be at a decent level.
2. The height of the upper basket can often be adjusted. Mugs, cups, glasses or glasses are loaded into it. The basket can be equipped with an additional holder for wine glasses. If any, they are worth using. Fixing glasses will allow you to place small glasses next to each other; in addition, the holder allows you to arrange small circles in two rows.

3. All glasses, glasses or wine glasses are set strictly bottom up. So the water from the middle beam will have access to all placed objects. If you do not comply with this rule, the dishes will not be washed out from the inside well enough, and high quality washing is one of the advantages of buying a dishwasher.

Large plates should be placed closer to the edges of the compartment, and smaller or deep ones closer to the center.Since it is not always possible or convenient to load dishes of the same shape, it is better to alternate flat and deep plates - there should be enough space between them.

It is recommended to wash all dishes for cooking separately. So it can be more rationally arranged, without compromising the quality of cleaning other devices. Pans & Pans placed vertically so as not to overlap the nozzles. If additional handles cannot be detached, they are directed upwards or along the basket. Big and small pans properly load upside down, similar to glasses and mugs.
