AEG OKO Favorit 645 - Manual (Page 13)

Loading the machine
Before you load the machine remove any
remaining food and bones from the plates and
soak saucepans with burnt on food as you
would when washing up by hand. The easiest
way to load a basket is from back to front.
Lower basket (fig. 12):
Large heavily soiled dishes are best cleaned
in the lower basket. Pull out the lower basket
as far as the stops and stack it with large
items: plates, serving dishes, serving plates
and saucepans as illustrated.
Cutlery basket:
Arrange the cutlery as follow:
• Distribute the unsorted cutlery loosely in ail
basket compartments so that each item is
reached by the wash water.
• Knife, fork and spoon handles down for
best results.
• Make sure spoons and forks do not stick
together. Use the special holder for tea and
coffee spoons.
• Lay long handled utensils such as a soup
ladle flat in the top basket to avoid block*
ing the upper spray arm.
Top basket (fig. 13):
Smaller, more fragile Items are washed gently
in the top basket. Pull out the top basket as
far as the stop to arrange the smaller items
such as saucers, cups and glasses as illus­
trated. You can also use the fold down racks
to load extra cups.
Important!
By arranging the dishes correctly you will
ensure a satisfactory wash result
• Stack cups, glasses, saucepans, etc.,
upside down so that the water can run off
freely.
• Thick and curved plates and similar items
should be placed in the bottom basket on
the left where the racks are wider so that
each item is reached by the wash water.
• Bowls, saucepans and frying pans are well
positioned upside down over the short
racks In the lower basket.
• Load glasses so that they do not touch
each other (to prevent stains and break­
ages).
• When stacking items under the folding
racks in the upper basket make sure that
the water sprays can reach both layers.
