LOADING THE RACKS
UPPER RACK
(loading example for the upper rack)
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK
The height of the upper rack can be adjusted: high position to place
bulky crockery in the lower 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 levers A at the sides of the rack and
move the basket downwards.
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.
FOLDABLE FLAPS WITH ADJUSTABLE POSITION
The side foldable flaps can be positioned at
three different heights to optimize the
arrangement of crockery inside the rack.
Wine glasses can be placed safely in the
foldable 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.

Load delicate and light dishes:
glasses, cups, saucers, low salad
bowls.
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)
The lower rack has tip-up supports which can be used in a vertical
position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position (lower) to
load pans and salad bowls easily.
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 edges 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.
POWER CLEAN IN LOWER RACK
Power Clean® uses the special water jets in
the rear of cavity to wash more intensively
the high dirty items.
Placing the pots/casseroles faced to the
Power Clean® component please activate
the POWER CLEAN on the panel.
The lower rack has a Space Zone, a special pull-out support in the rear
of the rack that can be used to support frying pans or baking pans in
upright position, thus taking up less space.
How to use Power Clean®:
1. Adjust the Power Clean® area (G)
folding down the rear plate
holders to load pots.
2. Load pots and casseroles inclined
vertically in Power Clean® area.
Pots have to be inclined towards
the power water jets.
