Actually, Schuluter state in their leaflet , 6.1 Schluter DITRA

"Schluter DITRA is also reommended for uncoulpling of radiant heated floors consisting of thin electric heating mats.Schluter DITRA may be installed either above or below the heating mat.However the uncoupling function is more effective if Schluter DITRA is installed above the heating mat."



Either is acceptable as Dave says, but Schluter advise above.

it makes the un-coupler more effective if it's over UFH
