LOADING DISHES
Using the upper basket
■The upper basket is provided with mobile racks hooked to the sides of the basket, which can be regulated into two positions: upright and lowered.
■In the lowered position the racks may be used for such items as: tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives and ladles. Also glasses with stems may be safely hung on the ends of the racks. Glasses, cups, saucers and dessert plates may be loaded under the racks.
■In the upright position the racks allow you to load dinner plates and soup plates. Plates should be loaded vertically with the underside of the plate towards the back of the dishwasher with a space between each plate to allow water to pass freely.
■It is advisable that the plates loaded into the dishwasher together be the same size in order to utilize total basket capacity.
■Plates may be loaded in a single row or on both rows.
■It is advisable to load large plates (approx. 27 or more cm) slightly tilted towards the rear to facilitate introduction of the basket into the machine.
■Salad bowls and plastic bowls may also be loaded on the upper basket. It is advisable to block these in place so that the jets of water do not make them overturn.
■The upper basket has been designed to offer maximum flexibility in use and can be loaded with up to 24 plates on two rows, up to 30 glasses on five rows or a mixed load.
A standard daily load is represented in figs. 1, 2 and 3.
