The cutlery basket
Warning! Knives with long blades, stored in an upright position, are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with their handles facing upwards
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.
For best results we recommend you use the cutlery grid. If the size and dimensions of the cutlery do not allow the use of the grid, this can be easily removed.
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces. Avoid to put plates in the first three sectors in the front part of the basket. Make sure the plates tilt forwards.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards.
