Coarse strainer (3) The purpose of the coarse strainer is to catch large objects such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that the strainer is always clean.

Your own dishes are not likely to be identical to this load, but if you follow the advice below we are sure you will be pleased with the results. - Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down. - Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc. ) so that the water can run off when drying. - Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each other. This is particularly important in regard to the cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. MAKE SURE THAT THE WATER CAN GET AT ALL THE SOILED SURFACES. - Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other items do not protrude through the openings in the basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating. - Never put silver and stainless steel objects together. When these metals come into contact with each other a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver. [. . . ] Place the other end of the discharge hose over the sink as illustrated.
