Loading the racks

Tips

GB Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and containers. No preventive rinsing is needed under running water.

Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely. Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery rack.

Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic or stainless-steel dishes.

Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed in the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move.

After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.

Lower rack

The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should be placed at the sides of the rack.

Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance.

Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*. They can be used in a vertical position when arranging dishes or in a horizontal position (lower) to load pans and salad bowls easily.

*Only available in selected models with different numbers and positions.

Cutlery basket

The modular basket can slide to optimise the space inside the lower rack. It is equipped with top grilles for improved cutlery arrangement.

Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up compartments on the upper rack

Upper rack

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls.

Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors*. They can be used in a vertical position when arranging tea/ dessert saucers or in a lower position to load bowls and food containers.

The side tip-up dispensers can be positioned at three different heights to optimize the arrangement of crockery throughout the rack.

Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up dispensers, by

inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots.
