When your dishwasher is properly loaded, it makes sure that it is cleaned well so that you can further optimize your cycle. This article highlights the guidelines to properly load your lave vaisselle de whirlpool.
- Place the dirty sides of the dishes facing in the center of the dishwasher and angled towards the washer jets. The latter is placed on the rotating spray arms under the top and bottom racks that spray water upwards to wash and rinse the dishes. When you keep the items at an angle, it helps in effective cleaning and proper drying and draining as well.
- Make sure that there is space between the items and don’t overcrowd the dishwasher. When you stack or nest items, it makes it harder for the water jets to spray inside them. Nesting entails placing items with concave shaped bowls and spoons together, as you store them in cabinets or drawers.
- Secure items between the tines on the racks so that they don’t knock against one another or topple over during washing.
- Ensure that the items being loaded in the dishwasher are dishwasher friendly. If they are not, hand washing is recommended. Also, hand wash knives, fine china, non stick cookware, crystal, wooden items, cast iron, gold, aluminium, silver, and bronze. Washing these items in the dishwasher can damage the material or ruin its finish.
