Adjusting the upper basket

(depending on model)

In order to gain more space for taller
pieces of crockery in the bottom or
upper basket, the upper basket can be
adjusted in three steps with 2 cm be-
tween each step.

Pull out the upper basket and loosen
the two locknuts on either side of the
basket.

Adjust the basket up or down to the
required height.

Tighten the locknuts.

The upper basket can also be set to an
angle if required.

Depending on the setting of the upper
basket the following dimensions can be
accommodated:
