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
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 basket is the one with side
inserts, then insert the tea spoons
one by one into the slots.
It is best if you place longer utensils
horizontally at the front of the upper
basket.
lower basket
After loading the dishes, remember
to check that the spray arms can
turn freely without hitting against
any dishes.
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.
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.
