Properly arranging plates and dishes in the Bosch dishwasher
To ensure the Bosch dishwasher cleans dishes thoroughly, you need to arrange plates and dishes in the basket compartment in a sensible manner. Follow the instructions below for the best results:
1. Arrange and classify items by each rack
Bosch dishwashers are typically divided into 2 types of racks, 3-tier and 2-tier. Place all pots, pans, and large utensils on the bottom tier, plates in the middle or top tier. Each rack has a designated space for forks, knives, spoons, etc. Arrange small items according to the compartments on each tier.
2. Place utensils in the bottom basket
- Arrange your items so that stains face directly towards the spray arm.
- Place heavy utensils in the lower basket such as pots, pans, trays, cutting boards, etc.
- Avoid stacking utensils on top of each other.
- Position large items like frying pans, baking trays, cutting boards, etc., close to the interior wall of the dishwasher to prevent hindrance to cleaning agents or water jets, affecting the hygiene of other utensils.
- Bosch dishwashers come with 16 complete storage compartments, featuring FlexSpace slots for easy accommodation of large utensils and efficient space utilization.
3. Organize knives, cutlery, and dining accessories like forks, spoons, and ladles
- Keep forks and knives separate to prevent them from stacking.
- Place knives and blades facing downward to avoid accidental cuts when retrieving items.
- Place ladles and spoons upside down to enhance cleaning efficiency.
- Bosch dishwashers feature flat, removable trays that can be placed on top, allowing accessories to be placed along the sides or in the center of the bottom rack.
4. Place utensils in the middle basket
- Place smaller items like glasses and cups in the middle basket.
- Position cups in a separate corner, facing downward to prevent water retention after washing.
- Organize items in the middle basket and be careful not to let them fall during washing.
- The Bosch dishwasher features a flexible RackMatic rail system that allows you to adjust the middle basket at different positions.
- Most dishwashers come with a standard third rack, providing enough space for large silverware, utensils, and spatulas.
5. Do not overload beyond the machine's maximum capacity
The weight of plates and dishes that can be washed in one cycle is specified by the manufacturer. Choose a dishwasher with a suitable washing capacity for your family's needs to avoid overloading. Overloading the dishwasher with too many plates and dishes beyond the machine's maximum capacity can lead to overloading issues.
6. Place all items facing downward in the dish rack
Placing all items facing downward helps you avoid situations where water, leftover food, and grease still linger at the bottom after washing. Even after an active drying process, it may not completely dry the water.
7. Arrange plates and dishes at various angles and details
Food containers are no longer simple round objects; they can be polygons, irregular shapes, or even intricate details. Especially in these areas, where stubborn grease stains are hard to clean even by manual scrubbing. Therefore, when stacking items with many corners and intricate details, tilt them to ensure water reaches every nook and cranny, making cleanup easier and more effective.
8. Avoid placing small items inside larger ones
When loading dishes into the Bosch dishwasher, avoid stacking large items on top of small ones. Stacking in this way prevents water from flowing to wash away grease stains on your utensils because the larger items inside have been blocked. Subsequently, during the enhanced drying process at high temperatures, it doesn't fully dry because it is covered. Ultimately, this leads to dishes not being cleaned and dried thoroughly.
9. Avoid stacking thin, fragile glassware
During the washing process, the high water pressure can push thin glass and fragile items, causing them to collide and break. Therefore, when arranging plates and dishes, absolutely avoid stacking thin, fragile, or glass items on top of each other.
10. How to arrange sharp objects like knives, scissors, and forks
For sharp objects, arrange them vertically in a dedicated rack at the lower tier for dishwashers with 2 racks or a third rack (specifically designed for knives, scissors, forks, and spoons). These items, combined with high water pressure, can intrude, potentially damaging the dishwasher's interior and spray arms, as well as other dishes, posing a safety risk to users.
11. Avoid blocking the dishwasher's spray arms with plates, bowls, pots, and pans
When arranging plates and dishes, be careful not to block the dishwasher's spray arms with plates, bowls, or pots, affecting the water spray efficiency. In such cases, water may not reach every nook and cranny of the utensils for thorough cleaning.
