Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards and knives with their handles facing upwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles

facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.

For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

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.

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.

Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks.

Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

load them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door.
