How to load your dishes.
A
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
upper rack
lower rack
First of all.
Before placing the dishes in the
racks, remove the largest scraps
of food left over on your plates,
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
racks out.
What goes into the
lower rack?
We recommend you place the most
difficult dishes to wash into the
lower rack: saucepans, lids, soup
dishes and plates, but also: mugs,
cups and glasses (see photos for
load examples).
 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
Glasses and cups: position
them as indicated in the figure.
This basket is equipped with two
removable grids: insert the cutlery
one by one into the slots; knives
and utensils with sharp blades or
tips should be positioned with the
sharp parts at the bottom. Position
all cutlery items so that they don't
touch.
If the rack has side baskets, the
spoons should be loaded
individually into the appropriate
slots (see fig. A ).
- Especially long utensils should be
placed in the horizontal position at
the front of the upper rack.
Load examples
What goes into the
upper rack?
Place delicate and lightweight
dishes in the upper rack: glasses,
tea cups and coffee cups, saucers
- but plates too - shallow salad
bowls, slightly dirty frying pans and
shallow pans.
Position light weight dishes in such
a way as to avoid their being moved
by the spray of water.
The appliance can also be equipped
with one or two tip-up
compartments onto which you can
place mugs and cups, as well as
long sharp knives and serving
cutlery.
After loading the dishes, remember
to check that the blades on the
sprayer arms can turn freely
without hitting against any dishes.
How to adjust the top
rack.
The upper rack can be set in high
or low position to enable you to
organise your dishes effortlessly.

The rinse aid container is situated
on the inside of the appliance door;
you should refill it
when you see
the container is empty by means
of indicator light D.
In models fitted with the low rinse

set to 4.
Proper dosage of

If drops of water
remain on the
dishes or spotting

dosage adjuster to
a higher setting.

Warning
Three-in-one dishwasher tablets are now available on the market, and combine 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 interior of the appliance.
Using a three-in-one product means it is no longer necessary to put rinse aid into the relevant container.
If you want to achieve perfectly dry dishes, you may add rinse aid as long as the dosage adjuster is set to no.2.
In any case, please read the manufacturer's instructions on the packet.
If you use only these products, it is normal for the salt and rinse aid indicator lights to flash permanently after a certain number
of cycles.
• Use the right
amount of detergent:
if you use too much,
you will not get
cleaner dishes, but
just more
environmental
pollution.
• Keep your
dishwasher detergent
and rinse aid in a
cool, dry place and
away from children.
