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.
Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
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.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

We recommend the use of Finish detergents.
Using no more then the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution.
Prior to the start of a wash programme (not for the "Rinse and Hold" programme). The detergent is released during the washing phase.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.
Fill with detergent
In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket:
1. | If the lid is closed: press release button (1). The lid springs |
| open. |
2. | Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent. |
| The marking indicates the dosing levels: |
| 20 = approximately 20 g of detergent |
load them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door.

30 = approximately 30 g of detergent |
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.
| Maximum height of the dishes in | |
| upper basket | lower basket |

|
With upper basket raised | 20 cm | 31 cm |
|

With upper basket lowered | 24 cm | 27 cm |

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.
3.All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (3). This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase.
4.Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
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.
