Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging
the filters and consequently reducing the performance.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery
etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket,
ensuring that the spray arms can turn freely.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of
cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when
loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing
downwards.
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray
arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery. Place it in the cutlery
basket separate from the others.
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of
up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and underneath the fold-down cup racks so that water can reach
all surfaces.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a
hazard.
