Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing
the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the
baskets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
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 upper spray arm can
turn freely.
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily
lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
To lower the prongs:
- Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see
picture).
- To bring them back to the standing position, just pull
them up again.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
These items should only be placed in the removable knife
basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
Removable knife basket
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket,
which is positioned at the rear of the upper basket.
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.
For best results we
recommend to use the
cutlery grid provided (if the
size and the dimensions of
the cutlery allow it).
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up
to 25 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items so that water
can reach all surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can
be placed upside down in the
cup racks.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
load them starting from
the rear positions of the
basket, tilting them
forwards and avoiding the
front positions near the
door.
Attention!
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
