Loading your Dishwasher
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 baskets can be split
up by pulling out the handle.
When you only have a little cutlery
to wash you can use just half the
basket, save space for other
crockery or place the other half in
the upper basket instead (see
figures).
This 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.
There are two handles on the
sides of the upper basket, use
these to adjust its height (see
fig.C).
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
a 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.
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.
Multisystem baskets
The dishwasher is fitted with
upper, lower and cutlery baskets.
They provide greater flexibility for
loading dishes, making them more
suitable for your specific needs.
The basket handles can be
removed for cleaning. Pull out the
two fastening plugs, remove the
handles and rinse under running
water. Replace the handles fixing
them in place with the two
fastening plugs.
