Adjusting the upper basket
In order to gain more space for taller
pieces of crockery in the bottom or up‐
per basket, the upper basket can be
adjusted on three levels with 2 cm be‐
tween each level.
The upper basket can also be set at an
angle with one side high and the other
side low. This can be useful to help pre‐
vent water being left in deep dishes etc.
Ensure, however, that the basket can
be inserted smoothly into the cabinet. It
is better to adjust the basket before
loading it.
Pull out the upper basket.
To raise the upper basket:
Pull the basket up until it clicks into
place.
To lower the upper basket:
Pull upwards on the levers at either
side of the upper basket.
Adjust the basket to the desired
height and then push the levers se‐
curely back down into position.
Depending on the setting of the upper
basket, the following plate dimensions
can be accommodated.
