User instructions

CUTLERY BASKET

The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the basket, with the handles pointing downwards. Take care during loading to avoid injury from the knife blades.

The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except those long enough to interfere with the upper spray arm.

Ladles, wooden spoons and cooking knives can be placed in the upper basket, making sure that the knife blades do not protrude from the basket.

The cutlery basket features an exclusive system of independent sliding tip-up supports, offering a series of combinations to allow optimum use of the space available. It can also be separated into two parts, particularly useful when carrying out a ½ load wash (on models with this function).

UPPER BASKET

It is recommended to load the upper basket with small- or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects made from heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only slightly soiled.

The top basket is fitted (on the left) with two plastic racks which can be raised to make room for tall glasses, such as stem glasses.

On the right there are two cutlery racks designed to take knives and teaspoons; when not in use, they can be left vertical, attached to the basket.

To use the space designed for teaspoons, remove the insert as shown in the illustrations.
