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
The lower basket has tip-up sectors
(see figure B), so you can place
even more saucepans and frying
pans or make room for the larger
ones.
Place the cutlery with the handles at
the bottom; if the basket is the one
with side inserts, then insert the tea
spoons one by one into the slots
(see figure A).
lower basket
It is best if you place longer utensils
horizontally at the front of the upper
basket.
After loading the dishes, remember
to check that the spray arms can
turn freely without hitting against any
dishes.
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.
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.
