Adjusting the upper basket
In order to gain more space for taller
pieces of crockery in the lower or upper
basket, the upper basket can be adjus-
ted on three levels with 2 cm between
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.
