Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31

cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket

after moving the upper basket to the higher position

HELPFUL HINTS

For best washing results:

Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak

very heavily soiled pots and pans.

Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc.

upside-down.

Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the

water drains off easily.

Long items of cutlery such as ladles, carving knives

etc. should be positioned horizontally in the upper

basket.

Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible;

correct arrangement of the items will give better

washing results.

Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the

upper basket and arranged so that they do not move

during washing.

You will improve drying results by leaving the

dishwasher door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as

soon as the programme finishes.

Care must be taken when opening the door, as

steam will escape.

To save energy

Do not prewash dishes under running water.

Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal

and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.

If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see

Programme Chart on the following pages), so that any

food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while

you are waiting to run the complete wash programme.

Select an economic programme when the baskets are

not very full and/or when the dishes are not very

soiled, following the instructions given in the

«Washing programmes» chart.

Select «ECONOMY DRY», in this case the last rinse

water is not heated, with a significant saving in energy.

Drying will obviously be less effective in this case.

as follows:

Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket

outward and slide the basket out.

Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the

stops (A) in their original position.

When the top basket is in the higher position it will only

take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be

able to use the raised cup racks.

Items not suitable for dishwashers

The following should not be washed in the

dishwasher:

Cutlery or dishes with wooden or horn handles or

glued parts.

Handmade items, wooden objects, antiques or hand-

painted china.

Certain types of decoration can discolour when

washed in a dishwasher.

Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed

dishwasher-proof, should be washed by hand. You

are advised to place them in the upper basket and to

select a delicate programme.

Certain types of glass can also become opaque after

being washed several times in a dishwasher.

Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel

cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the

others.

Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other

items.

Aluminium tends to go black; copper, pewter and

brass tend to stain.

Caution: You are advised not to load very small

items which can fall through the baskets.

Note: When buying new dishes, ensure that they are

dishwasher-proof.
