Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does

not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing

downwardsand the concave/convex parts placed obliquely,

thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.

Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not

prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items

in the cutlery basket.

Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more

water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic

or stainless-steel dishes.

Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed

Lower rack

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

etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides.

Upper rack

Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as

glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls.

Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack

because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow

a higher washing performance.

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 position.

The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE

RACK IS EMPTY.

NEVER raise or lower the rack on one side only.

Cutlery tray*

Some dishwasher models are fitted with a sliding tray which

can be used to hold serving utensils or small cups. For

optimum washing performance, avoid positioning bulky

crockery directly below the tray.

The cutlery tray can be removed

(see Figure).

IftherackisequippedwithaLift-Up device*

(see figure)

, lift

it up by holding its sides. To restore the lower position, press

the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and follow the rack down.
