Loading the racks

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 equipped with the click

clack handles* (

see figure), pull

them upwards or downwards to

adjust the height.

Items that 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 that is not heat-resistant.

•

Antique or hand-painted porcelain.

•

Antique silver. Silver that is not antique may, however, 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.

* 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.

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.

The grille element* may be positioned in the basket to separa-

te the cutlery: place the pieces of cutlery into the appropriate

compartments with the handles at the bottom.

Upper rack

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery: glasses,

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

and small saucepans that are not too soiled, using the 

Loading

examples as a guide.

•

Lightweight crockery: position these dishes so that they

will not be moved by the jets of water.

•

Mugs and cups: place these on the tip-up

compartments**.

•

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.
