Loading the racks

Only available in selected models.

** 

The number and position may vary.

Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the

crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.

After loading the appliance, check that the sprayer arms

can rotate freely.

Lower rack

The lower rack can hold pans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery,

etc. as seen in the 

Loading examples.

Plates and large covers should be placed at the sides of the

rack, ensuring that they do not block the rotation of the upper

sprayer arm.

Some dishwasher

models are fitted

with tip-up
sections

*

, which

can be used in a

vertical position when arranging plates or in a horizontal position
when arranging pans and salad bowls.

Cutlery basket

The type of cutlery basket may vary according to the

dishwasher model: it may be modular, non-modular or a sliding

version. The non-modular basket must 

only

 be positioned at

the front of the lower rack.

The modular basket

may be separated into

two parts, a solution

which is recommended

when performing a half

load wash (only in models offering this option), is available in a

sliding version (positioned at any point on the lower rack by

sliding it between the fixed or tip-up inserts.

- Both versions are fitted with a collapsible sliding system which

means the cutlery can be arranged in the best possible way.

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.

Cutlery  basket  positioning  examples

Upper rack

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery: glasses,

tea and coffee cups, saucers, small salad bowls, saucepans

and small saucepans which are not too soiled, using the

Loading examples

 as a guide.

• Mugs and cups, long sharp knives and serving utensils:
place these on the tip-up compartments

**

.

Adjusting the height of the upper rack

In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper

rack may be moved to a higher or lower level.

The height of the upper rack should ideally be

adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.
Never lift or lower the rack on one side only.

Open the left and right guide rail

stops and pull out the rack; position it

higher or lower as required, slide it

along the guide rails until the front

wheels are in place and close the

stops (

see figure

).

If the rack is fitted with 

“Dual Space”

handles

*

 (

see figure

), pull out the

upper rack until it reaches its stop

point, grip the handles at the sides of

the rack and move it upwards or

downwards, then slowly let it fall back
into place.

Items which should not be washed in the

dishwasher

• Wooden items, objects with wooden or horn handles or

glued-on parts.

• Items made from aluminium, copper, brass, pewter or tin.

• Items made from plastic material which is not heat-

resistant.

be washed in the dishwasher using a delicate wash cycle,

provided that it does not come into contact with other
metals.

We recommend the use of crockery which is dishwasher

safe.
