Using the third basket

■The third basket has been designed to load items such as utensils of small dimensions or flat and long shaped items. By freeing the lower baskets from these objects, loading big-size items becomes more comfortable and easier, making it possible for instance to load plates and pots in the lower basket.

■The third basket can be loaded with the following items: coffee cups and side plates, fruit or dessert cups, small bowls, saucers, kitchen knives and forks, ladles and large spoons, graters, and accessories for small appliances (e.g. food mixer blades).

ATTENTION!

The third basket is NOT designed for loading cutlery. The absence of racks for fixing cutlery could involve such items being found in the lower baskets.

A standard daily load is represented in
