LOADING THE RACKS

TIPS
Before loading the baskets, remove all food residues from the
crockery and empty the glasses. You do not need to rinse before-
hand under running water.
Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does
not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing
downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus
allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.
Warning: lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the
sprayer arms from rotating.
Place any small items in the cutlery basket. Very soiled dishes
and pans should be placed in the lower basket because in this
sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing
performance.
After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can
cotate freely.
UPPER RACK
Load delicate and light dishes:
glasses, cups, saucers, low
salad bowls.
(loading example
for the upper rack)
FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION
The side foldable flaps can be positioned at
three different heights to optimize the arrange-
ment of crockery inside the rack.
Wine glasses can be placed safely in the folda-
ble flaps by inserting the stem of each glass into
the corresponding slots.
For optimum drying results incline the foldable flaps
more. To change the inclination, pull up the foldable
flap, slide it slightly and position it as you wish.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK
The height of the upper rack can be adjusted:
high position to place bulky crockery in the lo-
wer basket and low position to make the most
of the tip-up supports by creating more space
upwards and avoid collision with the items
loaded into lower rack.
The upper rack is equipped with a Upper
Rack height adjuster (see figure), without
pressing the levers, lift it up by simply holding
the rack sides, as soon as the rack is stable in
its upper position. To restore to the lower position, press the le-
vers A at the sides of the rack and move the basket downwards.
To open the detergent dispenser
press button A.
Introduce the detergent into
the dry dispenser B only.
Place the amount of detergent
for pre-washing directly inside
the tub.
1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the mentioned ear-
lier information to add the proper quantity. Inside the dispenser
B there are indications to help the detergent dosing.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser
and close the cover until it clicks.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until
the closing device is secured in place.
The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time
according to the program.
We strongly recommend that you do not adjust the height of
the rack when it is loaded. NEVER raise or lower the basket
on one side only.
LOWER RACK
For pots, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and
lids should ideally be placed at the sides to avoid interferences
with the spray arm.
(loading example for the lower rack)
CUTLERY BASKET
The basket is equipped with top grilles for
improved cutlery arrangement. The cutlery
basket should be positioned only at the front
of the lower rack.
Knives and other utensils with sharp ed-
ges must be placed in the cutlery basket
with the points facing downwards or they
must be positioned horizontally in the tip-up
compartments on the upper rack.
UNSUITABLE CROCKERY
• Wooden crockery and cutlery.
• Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique
crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
• Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures.
• Copper and tin crockery.
• Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.
The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can
change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass
(e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash
cycles too.
DAMAGE TO GLASS AND CROCKERY
• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufactu-
rer as dishwasher safe.
• Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the
wash cycle is over.
HYGIENE
To avoid odour and sediment which can be accumulated in the
dishwasher please run a high temperature program at least once
a month. Use a tea spoon of detergent and run it without the
loading to clean your appliance.
