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.

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.

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.

Arrange items so that water can reach all surfaces. Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks.

The cup rack on the left folds upwards to increase your loading flexibility.

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.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.

To move to the higher position proceed as follows:

1.Move the front runnner stops (A) of the upper basket outwards and slide the basket out.

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.

Silver cutlery tends to go

 

black if mixed with steel

 

cutlery. Place it in the cutlery

 

basket separate from the

 

others.

 

Arrange spoons, dessert

 

spoon, knives and other small

 

items of cutlery in the racks

 

on both sides of the cutlery

 

basket.

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 cup racks.

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.
