Loading the racks
Before loading the rack, remove all food residue from the
crockery, leave saucepans and frying pans with burnt-on
residue to soak - in water only -and empty all remaining
liquid from cups and glasses.
Lower rack
Arrange the more difficult items to wash using the Loading
examples as a guide and use the collapsible supports*
where needed.
• Serving dishes and lids: place these at the
sides of the rack.
• Saucepans and salad bowls: always turn these
upside down.
• Very deep dishes: position these at an angle.
In order to guarantee the best washing and drying
performance, the surface of the lower rack is more uneven
than that of the upper rack.
Cutlery basket
The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the
dishwasher model.
Knives and other sharp utensils should be placed in the
cutlery basket with the point facing downwards.
To divide the central basket* into two separate pieces: pull
out the handle. The two detachable side compartments*
may be hooked onto the upper or lower rack.
The two grids* may be positioned in the basket to separate
the cutlery: place the pieces of cutlery into the appropriate
compartments with the handles at the bottom.
Upper rack
Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery:
glasses, tea and coffee cups, saucers, small salad bowls,
saucepans and small saucepans that are not too soiled,
using the Loading examples as a guide.
• Lightweight crockery: position these dishes so
that they will not be moved by the jets of water.
• Mugs and cups: place these on the tip-up
compartments**.
• Long sharp knives and serving utensils: place
these on the tip-up compartments**.
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.
