Adjusting the upper basket
In order to gain more space for taller
items in the lower or upper basket, the
upper basket can be adjusted to three
levels of about 2 cm height difference
between each level.
The upper basket can also be set at an
angle with one side high and the other
side low to improve water drainage.
However, make sure that the basket
can slide smoothly in and out of the
cabinet.
^
Pull the upper basket out.
To adjust the upper basket upwards:
^
Lift the basket up until it clicks into
place.
To adjust the upper basket downwards:
^
Pull upwards on the levers at the
sides the basket.
^
Adjust the basket to the desired
height and then push the levers
securely back down into position.
Depending on the setting of the upper
basket, the following plate dimensions
can be accommodated.
