Loading your Dishwasher

There are two handles on the sides
of the upper basket, use these to
adjust its height (see fig.C).

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 a
way as to avoid their being moved
by the spray of water.
The dishwasher can also be
equipped with one or two tip up
compartments onto which you can
place mugs and cups, as well as
long sharp knives and serving
cutlery.

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

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.

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.

What can I Wash 

Items not suitable for the dishwasher:

• Cutlery and tableware made from wood or part wood - They may become faded and unsightly in appearance.
• Avoid washing horn handled and bronze cutlery in the machine.
• Delicate/decorative glassware and vases, special antique or irreplaceable china - the decorative patterns

printed on these items will not be dishwasher proof.

• Plastic objects that are not resistant to hot water.
• Copper and Pewter utensils. Aluminium and Silver objects.
• Some types of glass can become opaque in appearance after they have been washed too many times in a

dishwasher.

• Highly absorbent materials such as sponges and towels should never be placed in a dishwasher.
• If in any doubt, check with the manufacturer on items suitability for dishwasher’s.

WARNING: Dishes or cutlery soiled with tobacco ash, wax, lubricating grease or paint should not be

put in the dishwasher.

Our recommendation: In future, only purchase table or kitchenware
 that  has  been confirmed - dishwasher proof.

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 lower rack has tip-up sectors
(see figure B), so you can place
even more saucepans and frying
pans or make room for the larger
one

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).
This basket is equipped with one
removable grid: insert the cutlery
one by one into the slots, with the
handles at the bottom.
Knives and utensils with sharp
blades or tips should be positioned
with the sharp parts at the bottom.
Position all cutlery items so that
they don't touch.
It is best if you place longer utensils
horizontally at the front of the upper
rack. It is best if you place longer
utensils horizontally at the front of
the upper rack.
