Loading the racks
Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the
crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
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: it may be modular, non-modular or a sliding version. The
non-modular basket must
only
be positioned at the front of the
lower rack.
The modular basket may
be separated into two
parts, a solution which is
recommended when
performing a half load
wash (only in models offering this option), is available in a sliding
version (positioned at any point on the lower rack by sliding it
between the fixed or tip-up inserts.
- Both versions are fitted with 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

.
Tip-up compartments with adjustable tilt
*
- The tilt feature can be used to increase the space in the upper
rack, to position wine glasses with different stem lengths safely
and to improve drying performance.
- Lift the tip-up compartment, slide it gently and position it in the
desired tilt angle.
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.
