The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.

Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery
basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with
their handles facing upwards. 
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket,
obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the
handles facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.

For best results we
recommend you to use the
cutlery grid provided (if the
size and dimensions of the
cutlery allow it).

The upper basket 

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses. 
Arrange items on and
underneath the cup racks so
that water can reach all
surfaces. 
Glasses with long stems can
be placed upside down in the
cup racks.
For taller items, the cup
racks can be folded upwards.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged
so they do not move. 

Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely. 

Adjusting the height of the upper basket 

If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower
basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position. 

To move to the higher position proceed as
follows:

1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket 

outwards and slide the basket out. 

2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops 

(A) in their original position. 

When the basket is in the
higher position you will not
be able to use the cup
rack(s).

After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.
