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.
Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery
basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with
their handles facing upwards.
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.
To unload your dishwasher more easily, you can take the
cutlery basket out of the lower basket and unfold it. This makes
it easier to remove small pieces of cutlery.
Important note! To prevent the full cutlery basket from
inadvertently unfolding when being taken out, place your hand
right round the two-piece handle and hold it firmly.
1. Place the cutlery basket on a firm support (table, worktop)
and unfold both handle parts.
2. After unfolding, fold back both handle parts.
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 cup racks so
that water can reach all
surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can
be placed upside down in the
cup racks.
For taller items, the cup
racks can be folded upwards.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must 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.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower
basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.
To move to the higher position proceed as
follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the mechanism is
engaged and the basket is stable.
Attention!
Never lift or lower the
basket on one side only
When the basket is in the
higher position you will not
be able to use the cup
rack(s).
To lower the basket to the original position
proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and then allow the
mechanism to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.
