User instructions WARNING! Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle. Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump. Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
User instructions 4.4 Using the baskets The dishwasher has a capacity of 15 place-settings, including serving dishes. LOWER BASKET The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the “toughest” items with a heavier degree of soiling.

LOADING THE UPPER BASKET Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing downwards.
User instructions CUTLERY BASKET The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except long items that may interfere with the upper spray arm. The cutlery should be arranged in the spaces in the upper racks to allow the water to pass effectively between the items. Forks and spoons should be positioned with the handle facing downwards, taking care not to injure yourself with the prongs of the forks.
User instructions FLEXI DUO TOP RACK This comprises two independent sliding, pull-out tray racks for easier loading/unloading of cutlery. Various loading systems and configurations are possible.
