Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from
the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and cups.
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.
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.
To divide the central basket* into two separate pieces: pull out
the handle. The two detachable side compartments* may be
hooked onto the upper or lower rack.
The two grids* may be positioned in the basket to separate
the cutlery: place the pieces of cutlery into the appropriate
compartments with the handles at the bottom.
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.
