Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing
the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the
baskets.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn
freely.
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily
lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
To lower the prongs:
- Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see
picture).
- To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up
again.
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.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with
the handles facing downwards.
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.
The cutlery basket is in two
parts which can be separated
to give greater loading
flexibility.
To separate the two parts,
slide them horizontally in
opposite directions and pull
them apart.
To reassemble, reverse the
procedure.
The upper basket
The upper basket is
designed for plates (dessert
plates, saucers, dinner plates
of up to 25 cm in diameter),
salad bowls, cups and
glasses.
Arrange items on and
underneath the cup racks so
that water can reach all
surfaces.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) should 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.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
load them starting from the
rear positions of the basket,
tilting them forwards and
avoiding the front positions
near the door.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in
diameter) 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 top basket is in
the higher position it will
only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not
be able to use the raised cup racks.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.
