The dishwasher's baskets
The dishwasher is equipped with an upper basket and a lower basket
with a cutlery basket.
The appearance of the baskets may differ depending on the dishwasher
setup.
Upper basket
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates and saucers in the upper
basket. All dirty surfaces should face inwards and downwards! Wine
glasses are placed on the wine glass shelf and knives are placed in
the knife stand on the right (if fitted).
Raising the upper basket
1 Pull out the upper basket.
2 Grab the sides of the upper basket with both hands and lift it up.
Lowering the upper basket
1 Pull out the upper basket.
2 Pull out the two locking handles on either side to lower the upper
basket.
Lower basket
Place plates, side plates, serving dishes, pots and cutlery (in the cutlery
basket) in the lower basket.
Place pots and pans in the rear right of the lower basket to best utilise
dishwashing performance from the rear spray nozzle, which is intended
for these types of dishes.
Foldable tines
Lower the foldable tines (plate supports) when washing pots. Release
the foldable tines by pressing the catch inwards before adjusting their
position.
Washing large plates
Move foldable tines and their mounts to widen the distance between
the tine rows to adapt the lower basket to plates with a diameter greater
than 25 cm.
Cutlery basket
Place cutlery with the handles facing down, except for knives, and
spread them out as much as possible. Ensure that spoons do not stack
inside each other.
The cutlery basket is best placed in the middle at the front of the lower
basket to best utilise dishwashing performance from the unique spray
nozzle, which is intended for the cutlery basket.
WARNING!
Knives and other pointed items must be placed with the points down
in the cutlery basket or horizontally in other baskets.
Fold-down section for small items
The cutlery basket has a fold-down section in the middle for small
items, or small shafts, such as electric whisk attachments.
