The cutlery basket should be positioned only at the front of the lower rack. Upper rack Load this rack with delicate and lightweight crockery such as glasses, cups, saucers and shallow salad bowls. Tips Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and containers. No preventive rinsing is needed under running water. Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwardsandtheconcave/convexpartsplacedobliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely. Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the spray arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery basket. Sinceplasticdishesandnon-stickfryingpansusuallyretainmore water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic or stainless-steel dishes. Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed in the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move. After loading the appliance, make sure that the spray arms can rotate freely. Lower rack The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides. Very soiled dishes and pans should be placed in the lower rack because in this sector the water sprays are stronger and allow a higher washing performance. Adjustable position tip-up compartments The side tip-up compartments can be positioned at three different heightstooptimizethearrangementofthecrockeryinsidethe rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slot. For optimum drying results incline the tip-up compartments more. To change the inclination, pull up the tip- up compartment, slide it slightly and position it as you wish.33 Adjusting the height of the upper rack The height of the upper rack can be adjusted: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower rack and low position to make the most of the tip-up compartments by creating more space upwards. It is strongly recommended to never adjust height position when the rack is loaded. NEVER raise or lower the rack on one side only. If the rack is equipped with a Lift-Up device (seefigure) , lift it up by holding its sides. To restore the lower position, press the levers(A) at the sides of the rack and follow the rack down. Unsuitable crockery

• Useadelicatedetergentsuitableforcrockery.

• Collectglassesandcutleryfromthedishwasherassoonas the wash cycle is over.34 Detergent and dishwasher use Measuring out the detergent Good washing results also depend on the correct amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution.The amount can be adjusted to the soil level.In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 25g (powder detergent) or 25ml (liquid detergent). If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly. For good washing results also follow the instructions shown on the detergent box.For further questions please ask the detergent producers.Open the detergent dispenser using button D and measure out the detergent according to the Table of wash cycles:•powderorliquid:compartmentsA(washdetergent)andB(pre-wash detergent) •tablet:whenthecyclerequires1 tablet, place it in compartment A and close cover C; when it requires 2 tablets, place the second tablet on the bottom of the appliance.Removedetergentresiduesfromtheedgesofthecompartmentand close cover C until it clicks. The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the wash cycle. If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TAB option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers.DO NOT USE washing up liquid.Using excessive detergent may result in foam residues remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended. To achieve the best washing and drying results, the combined use of detergent, rinse aid liquid and refined salt is required.We recommend using detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment.
