Loading The Dishwasher Correctly - AEG FAVORIT 665 Operating Instructions Manual

Loading the dishwasher correctly
Before loading the machine with dishes,
remove larger food residues that are not
soluble in water, e.g. fishbones and other
bones, etc. Pans with burnt-on food residues
should be pre-soaked in water.
The easiest way to load the basket Is from
back to front.
Lower basket (Fig. 12)
Large, heavily soiled dishes are best cleaned
in the lower basket. Draw out the lower
basket to its fullest extent and place dishes,
bowls, plates, and pots according to our
illustrated example.
Cutlery basket
Cutlery should be arranged in the basket
as follows;
• Arrange outlery loosely and distribute
It in all compartments so that each
Individual article has good contact with
the washing water.
• Place knives, forks, and spoons with the
handle pointing downwards.
• Do not nest spoons and forks inside
each other.
• Do not arrange spoons and forks with
their dirty side in contact with each other.
For coffee- and teaspoons, you can use
the special spoon rack on the LH side.
• Exceptionally long cutlery pieces, such as
e.g. soup ladles or the like, can be placed
in the upper basket (since the upper rotor
arm may otherwise be obstructed).
Upper basket (Fig. 13)
Smaller, more fragile dishes are given
a gentle wash in the upper basket. Draw out
the upper basket to its fullest extent and
insert the smaller crockery items, such as
saucers, cups, glasses, and small cans accor¬
ding to our illustrated example. For this
purpose, also use the hinged cup holders.
Important!
Proper arrangement ensures perfect washing
• Arrange all containers, such as cups,
glasses, saucepans, etc., with the open
downwards so that the water can run out
freely. Make sure that no water can collect
In the recesses.
• Extremely curved dishes or other items
should be placed in holders with wide
spaoings on the LH side at the back of
the lower basket so that the sprayed
water has good access to all surfaces.
• Dishes, pots, and pans are best placed
upside down over the short angled holders
in the lower basket.,
• Arrange glasses so that they are not In
contact with each other (this prevents
marks which may be produced during
drying and also prevents glass damage).
• Hinged cup holders: arrange cups in
staggered formation to ensure thorough
cleaning action from all Sides.
Upper basket adjustment
The upper basket Is height-adjustable.
The upper position of the upper basket allows
a setting height of 20 cm in the upper basket
and 29 cm in the lower basket, whereas the
lower position of the upper basket allows a
setting height of 25 cm In the upper basket
and 24 cm in the lower basket.
The upper position of the upper basket has
been factory-set. To adjust the height of the
upper basket, proceed as follows:
1. Draw out the upper basket to its fullest
extent.
2. Remove the catches (Fig. 14) at the front
end of the basket rails.
3. Pull the upper basket fully out of the
basket rails.
4. Thread the upper or lower roller set
(upper roller set = lower position of
