How to load any dishes in the dishwasher
About how to download and what can be washed in the dishwasheris the most common question. Do you think that cramming anything, or vice versa, as you like best, it will be better or not at all, you ask yourself: "What's the difference?" Oddly enough - there is a difference. The more convenient for the dishwasher you are laying out the appliances, the better it will produce a result. It works that way.
In fact, arranging the dishes is quite simple. In the machine itself there are already slots for appliances. They differ in shape and size, so guessing where to put the plate and where to the pan is simple.
The inefficiency of washing can be caused by the fact that you simply simply did not put the item in your nest. The main thing in time to determine what it was, so that in the future not to allow a repeat.
Cutlery. For them in the dishwasher there is a special tray. And that means that you can only put them there. As a rule, forks and spoons are placed in special holes (individually) so that their long base does not come into contact with each other.
Plates need to be installed on the lower tier. Make them face the center and not touch each other.
Mugs, salad bowls, glasses. Their place is on the upper tier. Place containers with the recess down. If it doesn’t work out, then you can just tilt it.
Plastic appliances any size should be installed on top of the dishwasher. Since, in the car, the heating elements are under the lower tier. Thus, you will avoid changing the shape of your favorite appliances.
Another thing: half loading the dishwasher
When buying a car, the consultant repeated the phrase “half load” more than once, but what is it and how to use it, you can’t do it by the foot?
If guests decide to give your home a day of odds, then the dishes should be washed, of course, less. And to use a dishwasher on five plates and forks is not too careful. For this, there is such a function as a half load. It allows you to fill the space with only half, counting the water exactly on the amount of space occupied. Thus, you do not overpay for water.
In this case, the dishes are laid out purely individually - everything depends on the machine itself. In one company, this function is only with the top load, and in another - with the bottom.It may even be that half of the upper and half of the lower tiers are loaded.
If you bought a dishwasher with half-load function, find out what part you need to equip with kitchen utensils. Then you can safely place your devices in their sockets, while the rules remain the same:
- objects must not touch
- glasses, cups, deep plates set the bottom up
- plates look at the center of the machine
Only minus such a program may serve as a separation of detergent. If you intend to frequently fill the machine incompletely, then divide the tablets in half in advance. Calculate how many visits you have enough.

Try to remove large, dried dirt yourself or moisten it with water before putting it into the machine. Many do not know, but the dishes also require a little preparation to go inside.
