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. 

After loading your machine always
close the door, as an open door can
be a hazard.

The adjustment of the height of the
upper basket is possible also when
the basket has been loaded.

Moving the upper basket to the
higher / lower position:

1. Pull out the basket completely. 
2. Raise the upper basket as far as it

will go and then lower it vertically.
The upper basket will latch into the
lower or higher position.
