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
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,

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. (in models which offer the Baby cycle, the upper rack must be placed in its lower position when the appliance is being loaded).
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 DualSpace 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.
