If they are placed in the cutlery basket, long, pointed items of cutlery are a hazard, particularly to children (see Safety Instructions). They must therefore be laid horizontally in the upper basket.
To ensure that all cutlery is efficiently washed and reached by the water you should: 1. position the two chopstick holders in the corners of the cutlery basket, 2. place the latticed insert on the cutlery basket, 3. place short knives, forks and spoons with the handle downwards and chopsticks into the latticed insert of the cutlery basket.

Chopsticks may only be placed on the chopstick holders in the cutlery basket as otherwise they would fall through the basket and block the lower spray arm.
Loading Pans, Frying Pans and Large Plates
Load large and heavily soiled dishes in the lower rack.

To make it easier to load large dishes, it is possible - to remove the plate inserts from the lower rack. - to move the cutlery basket sideways.
