Loading the racks
*
Only available in selected models.
**
The number and position may vary.
Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from
the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms
can rotate freely.
Lower rack
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls,
cutlery, etc. as seen in the Loading examples.
Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the
rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper
sprayer arm.
Some dishwasher
models are fitted
with tip-up
sections
*
, which
can be used in a
vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal
position when arranging pans and salad bowls.
Cutlery basket
The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the
dishwasher model: it may be modular, non-modular or a
sliding version. The non-modular basket must only be
positioned at the front of the lower rack.
The modular basket may be separated into two parts, a
solution which is recommended when performing a half load
wash (only in models offering this option), is available in a
sliding version (positioned at any point on the lower rack by
sliding it between the fixed or tip-up inserts.
- Both versions are
fitted with a collapsible
sliding system which
means the cutlery can
be arranged in the
best possible way.
Knives and other utensils with sharp edges must be
placed in the cutlery basket with the points facing downwards,
or they must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up
compartments on the upper rack.

Upper rack
Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery: glasses,
tea and coffee cups, saucers, small salad bowls, saucepans
and small saucepans which are not too soiled, using the
Loading examples as a guide.
• Mugs and cups, long sharp knives and serving utensils:
place these on the tip-up compartments
**
.
Tip-up compartments with adjustable tilt
- The tilt feature can be used to increase the space in the
upper rack, to position wine glasses with different stem
lengths safely and to improve drying performance.
- Lift the tip-up compartment, slide it gently and position it in the
desired tilt angle.
Adjusting the height of the upper rack
In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper
rack may be moved to a higher or lower level.
The height of the upper rack should ideally be adjusted
WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.
Never lift or lower the rack on one side only.
Open the left and right guide rail stops
and pull out the rack; position it higher
or lower as required, slide it along the
guide rails until the front wheels are in
place and close the stops (see figure).
If the rack is fitted with “Dual Space”
handles
*
(see figure), pull out the
upper rack until it reaches its stop
point, grip the handles at the sides of
the rack and move it upwards or
downwards, then slowly let it fall back
into place.
Loading examples for the upper/lower rack
Items which should not be washed in the
dishwasher
• Wooden items, objects with wooden or horn handles or
glued-on parts.
• Items made from aluminium, copper, brass, pewter or tin.
• Items made from plastic material which is not heat-resistant.
• Antique or hand-painted porcelain.

provided that it does not come into contact with other
metals.
We recommend the use of crockery which is dishwasher
safe.
