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.

The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.

To lower the prongs:

-Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see picture).

-To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again.

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.

These items should only be placed in the removable knife basket.

Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

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.

Removable knife basket

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket, which is positioned at the rear of the upper basket.

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.
