Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any
scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and
consequently reducing the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall
through the baskets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the
dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids,
plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged
around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper
spray arm can turn freely.
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can
be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and
bowls.
To lower the prongs:
- Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down
(see picture).
- To bring them back to the standing position, just pull
them up again.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright
position are a potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as
carving knives must be positioned
horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp
items such as knives.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery
basket with the handles facing downwards.
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket,
obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with
the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from
sticking together.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel
cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the
others.
