loading your dishwasher
Properly placing your dishes into the dishwasher has a positive effect on the energy consumption and the washing and
drying performance.
The lower basket can be loaded with large items such as pots with long handles, pans, lids, plates, salad bowls and the
cutlery basket.
The upper basket is for cups and saucers, mugs, small bowls and glasses. Wine glasses and long-stem glasses must be
placed against the edge of the basket, rack or glass supporter wire and not against other items. Long, small cooking
utensils, such as wooden spoons, should be placed lying down in the middle of the upper basket.
The cutlery basket is designed for cutlery. Sharp items of cutlery, such as knives and forks should be placed with their sharp
points facing down. Place the cutlery piece by piece in a compartent to ensure the spray arms can reach every part.
WARNING: place your dishes into your dishwasher in a way that they will not prevent the upper and lower spray arms from
spinning.
a = open
b = closed
The upper basket has height adjustable racks. They are designed to increase the
capacity of the upper basket. You can place your glasses and cups on the racks.
You can use them open or closed. In addition, you can place long forks, knives
and spoons on these racks laterally, so that they do not block the spinning of the
spray arm.
Different ways of loading the baskets are shown on the next pages.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER BASKET
The upper basket is in the upper position. When it is in this position, you can place large items, such as pots and large plates,
on the lower basket. When the upper basket is in the lower position, you can place large plates in the upper basket.Adjust
the height of the upper basket only when it is empty.
Use the runners to adjust the height of the basket. Open the basket track latch by turning them sideways. Take the basket
out of the guiding rails. Place the other runners in the guiding rails and push the basket back in the rails. Close the track
latches. You have now placed the upper basket in the lower position.
