The upper rack can be adjusted for height based on requirements:  

high position to place bulky crockery in the lower rack and low 
position to make the most of the tip-up dispensers/sectors by 
creating more space upwards.

Adjusting the height of the upper rack

In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack 
may be moved to a higher or lower position.

The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE 
RACK IS EMPTY.
NEVER raise or lower the rack on one side only.

If the rack is equipped with a 

Lift-Up

 

device

*

 (see figure)

, lift 

it up by holding its sides. To restore the lower position, press 

the levers (

A

) at the sides of the rack and follow the rack down.

Unsuitable crockery

•  Wooden crockery and cutlery.
•  Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique 

crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.

•  Parts  in  synthetic  material  which  do  not  withstand  high 

temperatures.

•  Copper and tin crockery.
•  Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.

The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces 
can change and fade during the washing process. Some types 

of glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number 

of wash cycles too. 

Damage to glass and crockery

Caused by:

•   Type of glass and glass production process.
•   Chemical composition of detergent.
•   Water temperature of rinse cycle.

Tips:

•  Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the 

manufacturer as dishwasher safe.

•   Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery.
•   Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as 

the wash cycle is over.

Tip-up compartments with adjustable position*

The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three different 
heights to optimize the arrangement of crockery inside the rack.

Wine glasses can be placed safely in 
the tip-up compartments by inserting the 
stem of each glass into the corresponding 
slot. 
For optimum drying results incline 
the tip-up compartments more. To 
change the inclination, pull up the tip-up 
compartment, slide it slightly and position 
it as you wish.

*

Only available in selected models with different numbers and 

positions.

Cutlery tray

*

Some dishwasher models are fitted with a sliding tray which 
can be used to hold serving utensils or small cups. For optimum 
washing performance avoid positioning bulky crockery directly 
below the tray. The cutlery tray can be removed 

(see Figure).
