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 up to a maximum diameter of 19 cm. 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 in two rows.

■It is advisable to load large plates slightly tilted towards the front to facilitate the introduction of the basket into the machine.

■The upper basket has been designed to offer maximum flexibility in use and can be loaded with glasses, cups, small plates and small-sized bowls.

A standard daily load is represented in figs. 1 and 2.

-POSITION “B”: for dishes which, although standard size, have a particular shape (very deep bowls, square dishes or ones without borders etc.).

-POSITION “C”: for larger than average flat plates and/or ones with non- standard shapes (square, hexagonal, oval, pizza dishes etc.).
