LOADING DISHES
Using the upper basket
■ The upper basket is provided with mobi-
le racks hooked to the sides of the
basket which can be regulated in two
positions: upright and lowered. In the
lowered position the racks may be used
for tea and coffee cups, kitchen knives
and ladles. Glasses with stems may be
safely hung on the ends of the racks.
Glasses, cups, saucers and dessert
plates may be loaded under the racks.
■ Soup plates and ordinary plates may be
loaded with the rack in the upright
position. Plates should be loaded
vertically with the underside of the plate
towards the back of the dishwasher with
a space between each plate to allow
water to pass freely.
■ It is advisable to load plates of the same
size together in order to utilize maximum
basket capacity.
■ Plates may be loaded in a single row
(fig. 1) or on both rows (fig. 2).
■ It is advisable to load large plates
(approx. 27 or more cm) slightly tilted
towards the rear to facilitate introduction
of the basket into the machine.
■ Salad bowls and plastic bowls may also
be loaded on the upper basket. It is
advisable to block these in place so that
the jets of water do not make them
overturn.
■ The upper basket has been designed to
offer maximum flexibility in use and can
be loaded with up to 24 plates on two
rows, up to 30 glasses on five rows or a
mixed load.
Using the lower basket
■ Saucepans, oven dishes, tureens, salad
bowls, lids, serving dishes, dinner
plates, soup plates and ladles can be
loaded on the lower basket.
■ Place the cutlery in the plastic cutlery
holder with the handles pointing
upwards.
■ Place the cutlery holder on the lower
basket (fig. 3), making sure that the
cutlery does not get in the way of the
rotating arms.
IMPORTANT
The lower basket has a safety-stop
device, for its safe extraction, also
especially useful with a full load.
For loading salt, cleaning filter and for
ordinary maintenance, the complete
extraction of the basket is necessary.
