Loading your Dishwasher

First of all.
Before placing dishes in the baskets,
remove all course food remains. This
avoids blocking the filter, which
would reduce the efficiency of the
wash.
If saucepans and frying pans are
very dirty, allow them to soak before
being washed.
To make it easier to load your dishes,
pull the baskets out.

What goes into the lower
basket?
We recommend you place the most
difficult dishes to wash into the lower
basket: saucepans, lids, soup
dishes and plates (a load example
is shown in the photo).
• Serving dishes and large lids:

place them on the sides of the
basket.

• Saucepans, salad bowls: must

always be placed upside down

• Very deep dishes: place them

obliquely, thus allowing water to
run down them and cleaning
them better

• Glasses and cups: position

them as shown in load example
photo.

The cutlery basket is equipped with
two removable grids. Cutlery and
sharp utensils should always be
inserted in random order with the
blades pointing downwards (take
care with knife blades.
Position them so that they don’t
touch.

What goes into the upper
basket?
Place delicate and lightweight
dishes in the upper basket: glasses,
tea cups and coffee cups, saucers
and plates - shallow salad bowls,
slightly dirty frying pans and
shallow pans.
Position lightweight dishes in such
as way as to avoid their being moved
by the spray of water.

After loading the dishes, remember
to check that the spray arms can
turn freely without hitting against
any dishes.

How to adjust the upper
basket.
The upper basket can be set in high
or low position to enable you to
organise your dishes effortlessly.
Open the rail stop flaps and pull the
rack out completely. Now place it in
the high or low position, then slide is
along the guide rails until the front
wheels also go in.
Now close the rail stop flaps.
Follow the sequence 1,2,3,4
illustrated (Fig. F).
