The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup
racks.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper
basket and arranged so they do not move.

In case that plates are loaded in 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.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates 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. Pull out the basket until it stops.

2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the mechanism is

engaged and the basket is stable.

Attention!

Never lift or lower the
basket on one side only

When the basket is in the
higher position you will not
be able to use the cup
rack(s).

To lower the basket to the original position
proceed as follows:

1. Pull out the basket until it stops.

2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and then allow the

mechanism to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it.

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