The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright
position are a potential hazard.
These items should only be placed in the
removable knife basket.
Take care when loading or unloading
sharp items such as knives.
Removable knife basket
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as
carving knives must be placed horizontally in the
removable knife basket, which is positioned at the
rear of the upper basket.
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.
Ensure that cutlery is positioned in the
compartments and that soiled surfaces do not touch
each other.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from
sticking together.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel
cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from
the others.
For best results use the cutlery grids inserts
provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery
allow it).
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.
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert
plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in
diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and underneath the fold-down cup
racks so that water can reach all surfaces.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in
the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.
