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.

The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be

separated to give greater loading flexibility. To separate

the two parts, slide them horizontally in opposite

directions and pull them apart. To reassemble, reverse

the procedure.
