Using your appliance
Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.
For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

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 theUS47 upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
The cutlery basket
In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket:
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.
These items should only be places in the removable knife basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.
Removable knife basket
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket provided, to be positioned at the rear of the upper basket.
load them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.
The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to give greater loading flexibility.
To separate the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart. To reassemble, reverse the procedure.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.
To move to the higher position proceed as follows:
1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outwards and slide the basket out.
2.Refit the basket in the
higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position.
RC01
When the top basket is in
the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the cup racks.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.
