Using your appliance

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.

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.

Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.

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.	US64

Light items (plastic bowls

etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

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.

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.

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.

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.
