loading your dishwasher

Properly placing your dishes into the dishwasher has a positive effect on the energy consumption and the washing and drying perfor-
mance.
The lower basket can be loaded with large items such as pots with long handles, pans, lids, plates, salad bowls and the cutlery basket.
The upper basket is for cups and saucers, mugs, small bowls and glasses. Wine glasses and long-stem glasses must be placed against
the edge of the basket, rack or glass supporter wire and not against other items. Long, small cooking utensils, such as wooden spoons,
should be placed lying down in the middle of the upper basket.
The cutlery basket is designed for cutlery. Sharp items of cutlery, such as knives and
forks should be placed with their sharp points facing down. Place the cutlery piece by
piece in a compartent to ensure the spray arms can reach every part.
WARNING: do not let any item extend through the bottom of the basket.
WARNING: place your dishes into your dishwasher in a way that they will not prevent
the upper and lower spray arms from spinning.
The upper basket has adjustable racks. They are designed to increase the capacity of the upper basket. You can place your glasses
and cups on the racks. You can use them open or closed. In addition, you can place long forks, knives and spoons on these racks later-
ally, so that they do not block the spinning of the spray arm.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER BASKET

The upper basket is in the upper position. When it is in this position, you can place large items, such as pots and large plates, on the
lower basket. When the upper basket is in the lower position, you can place large plates in the upper basket.Adjust the height of the
upper basket only when it is empty.
Use the runners to adjust the height of the basket. Take the basket out of the guiding rails by lifting it.
Place the other runners in the guiding rails and push the basket back in the rails. You now have placed the upper basket in the lower
position.
