Loading the Dishwasher
Load for 12 Standard Settings
Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the
larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming
clogged, which results in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely
hard to remove, we recommend that they be allowed to
soak before they are washed. This will eliminate the need
for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the racks to facilitate loading the dishwasher.
How to Use the Lower Rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean
items on the bottom rack: pots, pans, lids, serving dishes
and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides
of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the
top spray arm.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed top
down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow
out.
The cutlery basket can be split up (see figure
A
): when
you only have little cutlery to wash, you can use just half
the basket. Save space for the saucepans or you can place
the other half of the basket in the upper rack instead. This
basket is equipped with two removable grids: insert the
cutlery one by one into the slots, with the handles at the
bottom. Position them so that they don't touch.
After loading the dishes, remember to check that the
blades on the sprayer arms can turn freely without hitting
against any dishes.
Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizon-
tal position at the front of the upper rack.
How to Use the Upper Rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and
lighter dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups
and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow
pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
- Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not
get moved by the spray of water.
How to adjust the Upper rack ...
The top rack can be adjusted using the two rack heights
(top and bottom). To adjust the rack, open up the tabs
that lock the guides and pull out the rack. Arrange the
rack with the back wheels in either the top or bottom
position and then insert it along the guides until the front
wheels are on as well. Close the tabs to lock the rack in
place (see Fig.
F
).
