Load upper basket. Light items (plastic bowls etc. ) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move. For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards. If plates are to be loaded in the upper basket: load them starting from the rear positions; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door. Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.

Carefully lift both sides upwards until the mechanism is engaged and the basket is stable. To lower the basket to the original position proceed as follows: 1. Carefully lift both sides upwards and then allow the mechanism to drop back down slowly, keeping hold of it. IMPORTANT!When the basket is in the higher position you will not be able to use the cup racks. Use of detergent IMPORTANT!Observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations. Open the lid. Fill in the detergent in compartment A. Observe the dosing levels. 15 For programmes with prewash add an additional detergent dose in compartmentB. When using detergent tablets: place detergent tablets in compartment A. Close the lid. Unloading the dishwasher · Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance. · Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one. · Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes. When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off. Care and cleaning Cleaning the filters IMPORTANT!Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. 16 Clean filters A, B and C thoroughly under running water. Turn the handle about 1/4 turn anticlockwise and remove filters B and C. Remove filter A from the base of the washing compartment. Put the flat filter A back in the base of the washing compartment and ensure that it fits perfectly under the two guidesD. Replace the filters and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. Cleaning the spray arms NEVER try to remove the spray arms. If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a cocktail stick. Internal cleaning Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. We recommend every 3 months to run the wash programme for heavy soiled dishes using detergent but without dishes. External cleaning Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc. . . . ). Prolonged periods of nonoperation If you are not using the machine for any prolonged period of time you are advised to: 1. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.
