WASHING DISHES IN YOUR
SIEMENS DISHWASHER
There are basically 6 steps to washing dishes
in your Siemens dishwasher. They are:
1. Dishware Preparation
2. Loading Your Dishwasher
3. Adding Dishwasher Detergent and
Rinse Aid
4. Starting Your Dishwasher
5. Drying your Dishes
6. Unloading Your Dishwasher
1. Dishware Preparation
Rinsing your dishes is not necessary, but do
remove large food particles, bones, seeds,
toothpicks, and excessive grease. Items with
burned-on or hard, stuck-on material may
require pre-soaking and hand-scouring.
Separate dishes that are not dishwasher
safe. Check the Materials section on
pages12 and 13 of this manual if you have
questions about an item’s dishwasher
suitability.
2. Loading Your Dishwasher
Loading your dishwasher properly will result
in thoroughly cleaned dishes. To properly load
your dishwasher, you need to be familiar with:
A. General Guidelines
B. Loading the Upper Rack
C. Loading the Lower Rack
D. Accomodating Extra Tall Items
E. Loading the Silverware Baskets
A. General Guidelines
Load the dishwasher so that water can
circulate freely and reach every part of every
item. Place items so that nothing protrudes
from the bottoms of the racks. Place pots,
pans, cups, bowls, and glasses upside-down
in the racks as shown in Figure 2. Do not
allow delicate or heirloom items to contact
other items. Separate items of dissimilar
metals. Do not place objects such as
paper products, plastic bags, or packag-
ing materials into your dishwasher!
B. Loading the Upper Rack
Glasses, cups, plates, bowls, and small pots
may be loaded in many different positions.
Figure 3 shows a typical mixed load in the
upper rack. Figure 4 shows the upper rack
load pattern for 10 place settings with the knife
rack, and Figure 5 shows load pattern for 12
place settings.
