Loading your Dishwasher
First of all.
Before placing dishes in the baskets,
remove all course food remains. This
avoids blocking the filter, which
would reduce the efficiency of the
wash.
If saucepans and frying pans are
very dirty, allow them to soak before
being washed.
To make it easier to load your dishes,
pull the baskets out.
What goes into the lower
basket?
We recommend you place the most
difficult dishes to wash into the lower
basket: saucepans, lids, soup
dishes and plates (a load example
is shown in the photo).
Serving dishes and large lids:
place them on the sides of the
basket.
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 shown in load example
photo.
The cutlery basket is equipped with
two removable grids. Cutlery and
sharp utensils should always be
inserted in random order with the
blades pointing downwards (take
care with knife blades. Position them
so that they don’t touch.
What goes into the upper
basket?
Place delicate and lightweight dishes
in the upper basket: glasses, tea
cups and coffee cups, saucers and
plates - shallow salad bowls, slightly
dirty frying pans and shallow pans.
Position lightweight dishes in such
as way as to avoid their being moved
by the spray of water.
The dishwasher 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 spray arms can
turn freely without hitting against any
dishes.
How to adjust the upper
basket.
The upper basket can be set in high
or low position to enable you to
organise your dishes effortlessly.
Open the rail stop flaps and pull the
rack out completely. Now place it in
the high or low position, then slide is
along the guide rails until the front
wheels also go in.
Now close the rail stop flaps.
Follow the sequence 1,2,3,4
illustrated (below).
