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.
For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).
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.
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.

The upper basket

When the basket is in the higher position you will not be able to use the cup rack(s).

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.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.
To lower the basket to the original position proceed as follows:
1.Pull out the basket until it stops.
2.Carefully lift both sides upwards and then allow the mechanism to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it.
