Operating instructions
The cutlery basket
Place knives, forks and spoons in the cutlery basket with their handles pointing downwards.
Arrange cutlery loosely and distribute it in all compartments so that each individual article has good contact with washing water. Also do not arrange spoons and forks with their dirty side in contact with each other.
Important! Exceptionally long cutlery, such as soup ladles, kitchen knives, or the like, may obstruct the upper spray arm. Such cutlery can be placed in the upper basket.
To unload your dishwasher more easily, you can take the cutlery basket out of the lower basket and unfold it. This makes it easier to remove small pieces of cutlery.
Important note! To prevent the full cutlery basket from inadvertently unfolding when being taken out, place your hand right round the two- piece handle and hold it firmly.
1.Place the cutlery basket on a firm support (table, worktop) and unfold both handle parts.
2.After unfolding, fold back both handle parts.
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.
