Loading the racks
Tips
Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the 
crockery	and	empty	liquids	from	glasses	and	containers.	No 
preventive rinsing is needed under running water.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does 
not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing 
downwards	 and	 the	 concave/convex	 parts	 placed	 obliquely,	
thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.
Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not 
prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items 
in the cutlery basket.
Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more 
water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic 
or stainless-steel dishes.
Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed 
in the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms 
can rotate freely.
Lower rack
The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery 
etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides.
Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack 
because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow 
a higher washing performance.
Several dishwasher models are fitted with tip-up sectors

.
They can be used in a vertical position when arranging dishes 
or	in	a	horizontal	position	(lower)	to	load	pans	and	salad	bowls

Cutlery basket
The	 basket	 is	 equipped	 with	 top	 grilles	 for	 improved	 cutlery	
arrangement. The cutlery basket should be positioned only at 
the front of the lower rack
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
