Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program available. Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colours may fade after a great many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month. 21 User instructions 4. 4 Using the baskets The dishwasher has a capacity of 10 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. All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom. With fixed supports The bottom basket is fitted with supports which can be lowered to make better use of the space available. With tilting supports LOADING THE LOWER BASKET Carefully load flat plates, soup plates, dessert and serving dishes, positioning them vertically. Pots, pans and their covers must be loaded upside down. When loading soup plates and dessert bowls, be sure to leave a gap between them.

Ladles, wooden spoons and cooking knives can be placed in the upper basket, making sure that the knife blades do not protrude from the basket.
