Dishwasher poor wash results

Applies to

  • Dishwasher

Solution

For best results, follow these loading guidelines.

  • Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings.
  • Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended.
  • Remove any coarse residue on dishes before placing the dishes in the machine. Start the machine with full load
  • You can place cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc. in upper basket.
  • Do not lean long glasses against one another as they cannot remain steady during the wash and may tip sideways which can result in damages. When placing long stem glasses and goblets, lean them against the basket edge or rack and not against other items.
  • Place all containers such as cups, glasses and pots into the dishwasher with the inside facing downwards.
  • If there is cutlery basket in machine, you are recommended to use the cutlery grid in order to obtain the best result.
  • Place all large (pots, pans, lids, plates, bowls etc.) and very dirty items in the lower basket
  • Dishes and cutlery should not be placed above each other.
  • Take care not to obstruct the rotation of spray arms.
  • Make sure large items are not place in front or under the detergent dispenser
  • Always check the filter and clean if required. After cleaning the filter make sure it is fitted correctly and locked in place. Unsecured filter can result in larger food particles entering the internal parts of your dishwasher and causing damage to the machine which may not be covered under warranty.
