Using Your Appliance; Loading Your Appliance; Adjusting The Height Of The Upper Basket - Zanussi DE 6850 Instruction Book

Using your appliance

Loading your appliance

Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing
the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the
baskets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn
freely.
UI48
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
These items should only be places in the removable knife
basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
Removable knife basket
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket
provided, to be positioned at the rear of the upper basket.
UI53
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with
the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from
the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load
the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.
The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to
give greater loading flexibility.
To separate the two parts,
slide them horizontally in
opposite directions and pull
them apart. To reassemble,
reverse the procedure.

For best results we
recommend you to use the
cutlery grids provided (if the
size and dimensions of the
cutlery allow it).
The upper basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and
underneath the cup racks so
that water can reach all
surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can
be placed upside down in the
cup racks.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged
so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
load them starting from
the rear positions of the
basket; tilting them
slightly forwards and
avoiding the front
positions near the door.
Before closing the door,
ensure that the spray
arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving
the upper basket to the higher position.
To move to the higher position proceed as
follows:
1. Move the front runner
stops (A) of the upper
basket outwards and slide
the basket out.
2. Refit the basket in the
higher position and
replace the stops (A) in
their original position.
When the top basket is in
the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in
diameter and you will not be able to use the cup racks.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.
