Loading the racks
Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from EN the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over.
After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.
Lower rack
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery, etc. as seen in the Loading examples.
Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper sprayer arm.
Some dishwasher models are fitted with
used in a vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position when arranging pans and salad bowls.
Cutlery basket
The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the dishwasher model: The cutlery basket should be positioned at the front of the lower rack, by sliding it between the fixed inserts, or on the upper rack when the half load option has been selected (in models featuring this option).
- It has a collapsible sliding system which
means the cutlery can be
arranged in the best possible way.
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

* Only available in selected models.
**The number and position may vary.
Adjusting the height of the upper rack
In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack may be moved to a higher or lower level.
The height of the upper rack should ideally be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.
Never lift or lower the rack on one side only.
Open the left and right guide rail stops and pull out the rack; position it higher or lower as required, slide it along the guide rails until the front wheels are in place and close the stops (see figure).
If the rack is fitted with “Dual Space”
handles* (see figure), pull out the
upper rack until it reaches its stop point, grip the handles at the sides of
the rack and move it upwards or
downwards, then slowly let it fall back into place.
