Loading the racks
*
Only available in selected models.
**
The number and position may vary.
Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from
the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and
does not tip over.
After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms
can rotate freely.
Lower rack
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery,
etc. as seen in the
Loading examples.
Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the
rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper
sprayer arm.
Some dishwasher models are fitted
with tip-up sections
*
, which can
be used in a vertical position when
arranging plates or in a horizontal
position when arranging pans and
salad bowls.
Cutlery basket
The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the dishwasher
model: The cutlery basket should be positioned at the front of
the lower rack, by sliding it between the fixed inserts, or on the
upper rack when the half load option has been selected (in
models featuring this option).
- It has a collapsible
sliding system which
means the cutlery can
be arranged in the best
possible way.
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed
in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards, or they
must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on
the upper rack.

Upper rack
Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery: glasses,
tea and coffee cups, saucers, small salad bowls, saucepans and
small saucepans which are not too soiled, using the

examples
as a guide.
• Mugs and cups, long sharp knives and serving utensils: place
these on the tip-up compartments
**
.
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 level.
The height of the upper rack should ideally be adjusted
WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.
Never lift or lower the rack on one side only.
Open the left and right guide rail stops
and pull out the rack; position it higher
or lower as required, slide it along the
guide rails until the front wheels are in
place and close the stops
(see figure)
.
If the rack is fitted with
“Dual Space”
handles
*
(see figure)
, pull out the upper
rack until it reaches its stop point, grip
the handles at the sides of the rack and
move it upwards or downwards, then
slowly let it fall back into place.

Items which should not be washed in the dishwasher
• Wooden items, objects with wooden or horn handles or glued-
on parts.
• Items made from aluminium, copper, brass, pewter or tin.
• Items made from plastic material which is not heat-resistant.
• Antique or hand-painted porcelain.
• Antique silver. Silver which is not antique may, however,
be washed in the dishwasher using a delicate wash cycle,
provided that it does not come into contact with other metals.
We recommend the use of crockery which is dishwasher
safe.
