When washing bowls in the dishwasher the bowls go on the bottom rack of the dishwasher and should be placed upside down on the bottom rack of the dishwasher so that they get cleaner.
Plates also go on the bottom rack of the dishwasher just like the bowls do as well as any flat pans or platters should be put on the bottom rack of the dishwasher.
The dishes that go on the top rack of the dishwasher machine are glasses, coffee cups and odd-shaped utensils and the silverware rack in the dishwasher is for things such as forks, knives, spoons, measuring spoons and small utensils.
Also make sure to remove any food debris from your dishes so that the dishwasher does not become clogged with those food particles.
But the dishwasher will do most of the cleaning of the dishes.
