D ISHWASHER
Before placing the dishes in
the dishwasher, remove the
larger food particles to
prevent the filter from
becoming clogged, which
results in reduced perfor-
mance.
If the pots and pans have
baked-on food that is
extremely hard to remove,
we recommend that they be
allowed to soak before they
are washed. This will elimi-
nate the need for extra wash
cycles.
Pull out the racks to facili-
tate loading the dishwasher.
How to Use the Lower
Rack
We recommend that you
place the most difficult to
clean items on the bottom
rack: pots, pans, lids,
serving dishes and bowls,
as shown in the figure to the
right.
It is preferable to place
serving dishes and lids on
the sides of the racks in
order to avoid blocking the
rotation of the top spray arm.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc.
must always be placed top
down.
- Deep pots should be
slanted to allow the water to
flow out.
-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).
- Especially long utensils
should be placed in the
horizontal position at the
front of the upper rack.
How to Use the Upper Rack
The upper rack is designed
to hold more delicate and
lighter dishware, such as
glasses, coffee and tea
cups and saucers, as well
as plates, small bowls and
shallow pans (as long as
they are not too dirty).
- Position the dishes and
cookware so that they do
not get moved by the spray
of water.
How to adjust the Upper
rack ...
The top rack can be adjusted
using the two rack heights
(top and bottom). To adjust
the rack, open up the tabs
that lock the guides and pull
out the rack. Arrange the rack
with the back wheels in either
the top or bottom position and
then insert it along the guides
until the front wheels are on
as well. Close the tabs to lock
the rack in place (see Fig. F).
