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.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.
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.
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.
For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

The upper basket
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.
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. Glasses with long stems can
be placed upside down in the

cup racks.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) should be loaded in theUS47 upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket:
load them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.
These items should only be places in the removable knife basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.
Removable knife basket
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket provided, to be positioned at the rear of the upper basket.
