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 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.

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.
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 25 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.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) should 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.
