How to load your dishes
Before washing, a few small steps can help you get a better wash and keep your dishwasher for longer.
Remove the largest scraps of food left over on your plates, soak saucepans and frying pans with tough
incrustations. After loading your dishes, make sure the blades on the sprayer arm turn well

First of all.
Before placing the dishes in the
racks, remove the largest scraps
of food left over on your plates,
you will thus avoid blocking the
filter, which would reduce the
efficacy of the wash.
If the saucepans and frying pans
are very dirty, allow them to soak
before being washed. To make it
easier to load your dishes, pull
the racks out.
What goes into the
lower rack?
We recommend you place the
most difficult dishes to wash into
the lower rack: saucepans, lids,
soup dishes and plates, but also:
mugs, cups and glasses (see
photos for load examples).
• Serving dishes and large
lids: place them on the sides
of the rack.
• Saucepans, salad bowls:
must always be placed
upside down
• Very deep dishes: place
them obliquely, thus
allowing water to run down
them and cleaning them
better
• Glasses and cups: position
them as indicated in the
figure.
This basket is equipped with two
removable grids: insert the cutlery
one by one into the slots; knives
and utensils with sharp blades or
tips should be positioned with the
sharp parts at the bottom. Position
all cutlery items so that they don't
touch.
If the rack has side baskets, the
spoons should be loaded
individually into the appropriate
slots (see fig. A - B).
- Especially long utensils should be
placed in the horizontal position at
the front of the upper rack.

What goes into the
upper rack?
Place delicate and lightweight
dishes in the upper rack: glasses,
tea cups and coffee cups, saucers
- but plates too - shallow salad
bowls, slightly dirty frying pans and
shallow pans.
Position light weight dishes in
such a way as to avoid their
being moved by the spray of
water.
The appliance can also be
equipped with one or two tip-up
compartments onto which you
can place mugs and cups, as well
as long sharp knives and serving
cutlery.
After loading the dishes,
remember to check that the
blades on the sprayer arms can
turn freely without hitting
against any dishes.
How to adjust the top
rack.
The upper rack can be set in
high or low position to enable
you to organise your dishes
effortlessly.
