The Cutlery Basket; The Upper Basket; Adjusting The Height Of The Upper Basket - Electrolux ESL 6163 Use & Care Manual

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.
Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery
basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with
their handles facing upwards.
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.
For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grid
provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).
The cutlery basket can be
placed either to the left or to
the right of the lower basket.

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 26 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water
can reach all surfaces.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper
basket and arranged so they do not move.
For glasses with long stems (according to the size and
dimensions), upset the glass holder to the left-hand or right-
hand position.
In case you need to load dishes in the upper basket, the glass
holder must be in the right-hand position.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
load them starting from the
rear positions of the
basket; tilting them slightly
forwards and avoiding the
front positions near the
door.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower
basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.
With upper basket raised
With upper basket lowered
To move to the higher position proceed as
follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the mechanism is
engaged and the basket is stable.
Attention!
Never lift or lower the
basket on one side only
When the basket is in the
higher position you will not
be able to use the cup
rack(s).
To lower the basket to the original position
proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and then allow the
mechanism to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.
