How to load your dishes
First of all.
Before placing the dishes in the
racks, remove the largest scraps
offood leftover onyourplates, you
will thus avoid blocking the filter,
which would reduce the efficacy
of the wash.
If the saucepans and frying pans
are very dirty, allow them to soak
before being washed. To make it
easier to load your dishes, pull the
racksout.
What goes into the
lower rack?
Werecommendyouplacethemost
difficult dishes to wash into the
lower rack: saucepans, lids, soup
dishes and plates (a load example
isshown in the photo).
 Serving dishes and large
lids: place them on the sides
of the rack.
 Saucepans, salad bowls:
must always be placed upside
down
 Very deep dishes: place
them obliquely, thus allowing
water to run down them and
cleaning them better
The lower rack has tip-up sectors
(see figure B), so you can place
even more saucepans and frying
pans or make room for the larger
ones.
Place the cutlery with the handles
at the bottom; if the basket is the
one with side inserts, then insert
thetea spoons one by one into the
slots (see figure A).

to check that the blades on the
sprayer arms can turn freely
withouthitting against any dishes
What goes into the
upper rack?
Place delicate and lightweight
dishes in the upper rack: glasses,
teacups and coffee cups, saucers -

slightly dirty frying pans and
shallowpans.
Positionlightweight dishes insuch
as way as to avoid their being
moved by the spray of water.
How to adjust the top
rack.
The upper rack can be set in high
or low position to enable you to
organiseyourdisheseffortlessly.
Before washing, a few small steps can help you get a better wash and keep your dishwasher for longer.
Remove the largest scraps of food left over on your plates, soak saucepans and frying pans with tough
incrustations. After loading your dishes, make sure the blades on the sprayer arm turn well.Do not
place glasses and cups on top of one another, and make sure the dishes are not touching.

You can choose from six different

Warning
Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine the detergent, salt and rinse aid
all in one. If the water in your area is hard or very hard, we still recommend you pour extra salt into the
relevant dispenser to prevent the formation of white streaks on your dishes or on the appliance interior.
Add rinse aid to the corresponding container only if you are dissatisfied with the results on your dishes.
In any case, please read the manufacturer's instructions provided on the packet.
